    Please Father encourage everyone in your parish go to daily mass for us because we cannot go to mass, even on Sundays. I am from Manila, Philippines and we are not allowed to go out. I think Singapore and other SE Asian countries also do not have masses.
    Initially I thought, "Saddest Lent ever!" then I realized we are with our Lord in the desert. The Lord is making us hungrier for Him by allowing us not to receive Him. And so I began to be happy again. That said, please do everything you can for us.

      Lincoln & Welland Regiment Well the rosary is composed of the prayer our Savior taught the disciples, the angelic salutation from the Gospel of Luke, and the prayer of the Seraphim from Ezekiel. All of these are said while we inwardly reflect on key theological points in the gospel. You should probably pray these prayers too, to soften that old, callous heart of yours.

    We need to recognize the humanity of people around the world. This is this generation’s first pandemic. I thank God for my parents and grandmother, who taught us canning, making do with the basics: flour, rice, baking soda, oil, dry beans, canned juice and powdered milk. Dried eggs, pasta, ramen, dried fruits and vegetables, nuts. Used to get K rations and jerky from the surplus store. More than all that, the Living Word of God. As long as we all pray for each other every night, we will be okay. Nineveh repented, so can us. Love is the greatest commandment.

      How can you say that? Faith can help one “handle” the sickness and most of the time one will recover: however there will be a time when one succumbs to the sickness/disease and die and hopefully rise into eternal glory depending on how one has loved God and loved their neighbor. That’s the purpose of life, it’s relatively simple, yet chaotic at the same time depending on one’s situation to be born into. Peace and Health

      Research not needed, sir...got it! Yeah...Great...
      Hmm...Once upon a time there was...a Catholic, who became a flawed 'catholic' by losing the gift of charity & ceased to be a member of the Church...
      Maybe you didn't hear about God a lot in the versions of your fairy tales...and not starting out your life a Hero...sadly, later betrayed the key teachings & values of the Faith.
      ? Not real big on suffering...?
      Making our way to our destination, all of us, from the atheist to the saint, are just pilgrims. We're travelers going from this world to the next. We sometimes get lost & take the long way, some days we may have no idea where were going. But the point is to keep moving, learning to understand, and to keep trying, knowing that the Lord never gives up on us.
      Blessings!

      B D Amen! Preach! People need to know that no matter what, if you are in a crack house or no house, cheated on your spouse, fear of what is happening, you can pray. God doesn’t care who you are, if you are afraid or have relatives with the virus, you can lay your worries on God. He loves you, and cares about us, his children. Ask for peace of mind, to be forgiven of your faults and sins, in the name of his son Jesus, and he will begin to bless you. Start listening to EWTN, Old Billy Graham or Oral Roberts or TBN. Fathers and mothers, I know you are worried about finances, the future. Put your faith in God and ask for help to get your family through this. Sing the songs you learned in church, or play them on the piano. I love you all, and with God’s help we will get through this. If you need prayer. Catholics pray the Rosary, but there are good prayers at World Vision site, and you can google prayer. Fathers, now that this virus has brought your precious family together, pray the Lord’s Prayer as a family. You and your wife can pray before you sleep. It is guaranteed to bring you closer together.

    That was the best sermon I have ever heard. As a father myself, it was so upsetting but powerful. The thought of losing one of my children is gut wrenching. Most interesting was how people responded to the sacrifice of the son was a brilliant simile about the death of our Lord.

      We do tell it to those kids Randy. And we tell it to the children abused by their fathers, mothers, uncles, teachers, politicians, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, councilors, and all other people who abuse children. Abuse is abuse and we do not stand for it nor do I think any of the other occupations where it has taken place stands for it, so maybe you should take it up with all them also since you seem so concerned. Jesus is the ONLY one who heals all those abused. May God bless you and hold you Randy.

    • @bv5278
      @bv5278 4 года назад

      Randy Couch Actually, The Catholic Church was persecuted in the early part of this country. Since most of the immigrants were Protestant coming from Europe. And Sue is correct in saying that the Catholics ministered to Native Americans and helped them. Please read some actual history on these subjects if you are to comment instead of speculating the false narratives that media drive. Also I would suggest you read the history of Our Lady of Guadalupe and how over 10 million Mexican people converted over a span of 10 years from a life of worship of pagan gods which included thousand being murdered through human sacrifice to the false gods. Also ask yourself a question, who and what do you worship? Everyone worships something. Atheists mostly worship themselves and again I would ask, what do you get from that? Where is the fulfillment you long for? You will never find it in yourself or anything on earth cause you were created for God and friendship with Him. “My heart is restless till it rests in you Oh God” - St. Augustine. Peace be with you my friend

    • @bv5278
      @bv5278 4 года назад

      Randy Couch yes all can be saved and God gives Grace to all and a chance to be saved whether that’s at the end of your life when you die or during your life. I think that your idea is who God is is not correct. You like most people and even me at times see God as this old man judging and weighting our rights and wrongs and did we get it right or now and pick the right religion. That’s not at all the God of the Catholic Church. He is Love and a merciful Father more than a judge. Please watch one of Bishop Barrons videos on who God is. He explains much better than I ever could. Also stop trying to argue things about what Catholics did in the past. Yes they have made many errors, yes they had to kill to protect themselves and others. I don’t care. I don’t worship or follow people, I worship Jesus Christ and His Church he gave us which is flawed because it’s full of sinners like me who need saving. Open your heart to the truth and you will find peace. May God be with you

But they make themselves low in my sight. They pray and look to me. And they turn from their evil ways. Then I will listen to them from heaven. I will forgive their sin. And I will heal their land. After all, they are my people." There's hope! Let's pray and repent!

Ephesians 2:8-10 says, “For it is by Grace that you have been saved, THROUGH FAITH- and this is not from yourselves, IT IS A GIFT FROM GOD- not by works, so that no one can boast. Jesus uses the least gifted, the most unlikely, the poor and the humble to spread his Gospel. As I used to pray as a kid, “LORD I am not worth to receive you, but only say the word and I will be healed.” I am a Christian, not a Catholic!

      I think the story was more aimed towards God the Father. The Father knew he needed to give his only Son to save mankind. And the story goes on after the sacrifice to show how people responded to that sacrifice... posing the question, "is this how the Father feels" when people say 'the mass is boring' or refuse to go.
