This really touched my heart especially the fasting part . It’s what I needed to hear. I have been neglecting the fasting bc it’s suffering and it’s the only way to purification . I want my soul to be at least a decent smell that rises to God. I need to fast from on line shopping, Facebook watching AGT and comedy skits, fasting from over eating especially chocolate and potatoe chips and I need to detach myself from fear or anxiety of losing my job . Trusting in God is the only way . I thank God for so many things that I was ungrateful for especially for the Holy family including Saint Anne and Saint Joachim who started the redemption for humanity. Jesus our redeemer and the Holy Church guided through the Holy Spirit (Saints, Biblical writings, our beautiful shepherds on earth etc.. so many gifts from God. It makes me cry how merciful he is and loves us even in today’s world . I cry because of our sinfulness and our wretchedness while God keeps calling us back and loving us . The gifts of the holy sacraments. It’s so beautiful .
Whoa!! Father, this is the most “thorough” explanation that I have ever heard on the story of the rich man in Hell. I’ll never tire of listening to it. LUV IT! I am going to pass it on. May the Lord preserve me from greedy inclinations. And if there are any in me that I am blinded to may He remove the blinders from my eyes and grant me grace to fight them. I want Heaven!!!!
Thank you Father. Jesus is our consolation when we are afflicted. In Mathews 11;28-30 Jesus asks us to come to him for His yoke is easy and his burden is light God bless you Father.
"I'm a greedy little pig full of covetousness" I am too. "This one comes out with prayer and fasting" I haven't even begun either we deprive ourselves of power of the holy spirit. I am encouraged also because I know I have been living in fight or flight mode. Thank you for your honesty.
This sermon reminds me of the saying, "the stench of wealth." Hmmm, that's a thought to ponder... People should read the bibles of old (pre 1500's). When you have royalty & and nobility, giving up wealth, power, and titles it highlights the eye of the camel. Many of these became the greatest Saints of old. Lessons to be learnt and attained. Phenomenal sermon. Blessed be God forever. Jesus is beautiful and just ❤🙏✝️🕊
Lord, have mercy on us. I pray that I would always keep my eyes and heart on the things of Your kingdom! I reject, renounce, and rebuke the spirits of this world, and the things which most people seem to value. God have mercy. Christ hear us. Holy Spirit guide us. Angels in Heaven, protect us. Saints in Heaven, pray for us! May Your Kingdom increase, and be raised up above the false gods of this earth. Christus unus verus Rex super omnia!!! 👑✝️
The Flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit wars against the Flesh so that we dont do what we ought not do. We are to take captive Every thought to the obedience of Christ. We are to become new creations in Christ Jesus where old things pass away and all things must become new. We are to Deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus. To be friends of this world is to be an enemy of God. May God grant us the grace to Take captive every thought, deny ourselves, pick up our crosses, and follow Jesus. May we truly be doers of the word of God so that we may be found just in the sight of God.
Thanks for your confession; many are guilty to a variety of extent. Thanks for the putting into words the confusing realities that we feel and observe as well in others. May the Holy Spirit continue to enlighten and guide you as you build your spiritual life and preach to us in your own unique way. 🙏
That’s the issue… It’s incredible that someone who was never in communion with Rome, refused to be in communion with Rome and wrote and spoke against the Church of Rome, can be venerated in the church.
This homily is given by a Byzantine rite Catholic priest, so I suppose Palamas is on the calendar of certain Eastern Churches that reconciled with Rome.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives; that the unity of this ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only for those who abide in it do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia produce eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”[5]
LUKE 18:24-25: “How hard it will be for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” LUKE 6 24-25: “Woe to you rich, for your consolation is now. Woe to you who are full, you shall go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, you shall weep in your grief.”
I was just thinking last night, shouldn't I rather long for God than heaven? If I long for heaven, it's kind of like longing for a mansion for eternity rather than truly loving the Holy Trinity. Idk, just a thought.
God is ours as He has already given himself to us. He doesn't leave us. But yes, we love the Father. We" long" for what is not ours. Our place in heaven is not assured. Therefore, it is our longing for. IMO
Jesus said how the rich get into heaven. By caring for the poor: Jesus said," Come, you who are Blessed-- :40 And the King will answer them, Truly , I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these brothers, you did it to ME." 🙏🌎🙏🕊🌎

Jeremiah 17 tells us why the ways of the wicked prosper. If anything, God allows the wicked to enjoy their ill-gotten gains before paying the penalties for them similar to honeymoon, grace and extended periods before the final payments are due. Another reason why God allows the poor to be bilked by dishonest people may be to teach financial lessons as has happened to hedonistic lottery winners, scammers, immature student athletes, drug dealers, party animals, extortionists and others.
There is much wisdom here. There is also much distraction: saying "okay?" or "right?" or "see?" after every fifth sentence. And why not list the three powers of the soul before going into the first?

But its not even money 😕, they are debt notes , since the 1933 fdr confiscation of gold and in lbj 1964 removal of silver. And HJ R 192 , makes them not liable for defrauding the public of constitutional money whuch is Gods money gold and silver .
yeah, the rich do not go to heaven. so i only need to be poor for heaven. yay, i did this. for so long time. i am tired of not having enought money for paying of my teeth. or good stuff for my daughter. or a good car. Am i allowed to have money? or have i to suffer in stupid mud all my life? what does this help jesus or "other people who can find jesus" when i am desolate and sad and not able to pay anything? Many poor people have desires and consume to much.
Poor in spirit means we recognize that we are dust, aka poor in spirit, so need God to be rich in spirit. It's not really about finances. @@danieldimond5734
Because God IS spirit, so only God can give spirit, and only those who recognize their poverty (lack) of spirit will seek to be filled with spirit from the source (God).
You should ask the church to help you! Jesus doesn't want the high priest to take your money for the temple that will be destroyed. Be generous with your prayers and in kindness until you can afford to be generous with money. I pray that you will have enough money to thrive. God bless you.
Is it wrong to just want enough to be able to cover necessities and then hope to maybe someday have more to be able to help others? This is all I desire. To not have to fear whether my utilities will be paid, and I would LOVE to be able to help others one day.
Classic vague wealth / poverty sermon So if a big tech salary prays and fasts and doesn’t care about money he’s good? What constitutes “rich” in 2024? In Jesus time the rich man owned a lot of property and had servants so something akin to a modern day millionaire? Anyone from a Western country has a tv, iPhone etc are they rich? Should they become “voluntarily poor?” Where should the line be drawn and if it’s all about disposition and how we spend it then a “rich man” can still be poor in spirit? These are not stupid questions and yet to find some applicable insight from clergy
You self-righteous fool. REPENT! This sermon is appallingly simplistic. Shallow, like your soul. Newly elected President Trump is desperately needed by the American people, because God has blessed him with many great gifts, He will be instrumental in saving America fromm the abyss, because of his great generosity and inexhaustible drive and energy. Many Americans make a decent living because of Trump's business genius, and he loves his country, 😮which cannot be said of Biden, Harris, Obama, Pelosi... predators incapable of genuine love. Their demonic narcissism consumes their immortal souls, and they do not give a damn for America. Also it needs to be said that President Trump neeqds many prayers for his moral blindness regarding the humanity of unborn children, his support of so-called SSM, and the evil of IVF.

Gregory Palamas denied the Filioque, how can he be a saint?
That’s the issue… It’s incredible that someone who was never in communion with Rome, refused to be in communion with Rome and wrote and spoke against the Church of Rome, can be venerated in the church.
The FSSP is yoked by the Vatican 2 sect do not go to any of their priests

Didn't the Church condemn Gregory Palamas in 1720?
No. The Melkites removed him from the liturgical calendar, but later added him back. He is a Catholic saint.
His feast and even mention of his name was suppressed at the council of Zamosc in 1720 by the bishops of the Ruthenian church, and confirmed by Pope Benedict XIII and had the statutes published in Latin in 1724.
@@jcald111 How was he a Catholic if he wasn't in communion with Rome? He lived well after the Latin episcopate was established in the East.
@@cdlv5795I didn’t say he was Catholic. I said he is a Catholic saint, today. Some things in the faith simply are not very logical.

Why does the Lord want us depressed or beaten down hungry destitute without love shunned on a cross?
I don't think He does at all, He wants us to be Free and full of Joy. Why do you think the Lord wants us miserable?
He wants us to give suffering to him for salvation of souls and he died for you
