      Hi Tony. You keep on about the sabbath (not to work etc Exodus 20 8:11)
      Have you ever thought that sometimes people take actions with the ‘intent’ of their actions not to be ‘work’. I sometimes tidy my garden to offer my actions in glorifying ALL the beautiful flora and fauna God has created for us. I don’t see it as work.
      Maybe you could focus on love. Love of neighbour, self and most of all, the love of God and Jesus to us.

      If the Apostles thought like that after Judas' betrayal, there would be no Church. Research all the heresies the Church fought against over the last 2000 years and you will realize this is nothing new. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail. Do not doubt it. The attacks on the Catholic Church reveal that it is the one, true, Church of Jesus Christ.
      I recently asked Jesus, in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, why He allows such wickedness. He moved my heart to the Parable of the weeds and the wheat. If He pulls out the wicked, He might uproot those who are misguided today, but will eventually repent. I was one of the misguided who repented. Read the lives of the saints and you will recognize the repentant sinners. Peace to you.

    Thanks from Spain. Most priests here don't preach on week days, just on Sundays.

Faith comes from listening to the Word of God. No doubt He will reward Fr Meeks abundantly.

    The reason it has become hard to define what the wide gate means is because there are too many definitions now only on what the narrow gate is supposed to look like some day. When Christian love starts to grow cold it is because what we treasure has changed too and then that shrinking over time place is where our hearts end up. Like when trusting only in gold and in recognition only from the secular world more and more. Is it only me who is starting to wonder if the most common form of concentration camp now is being homeless with a cell phone and a passport maybe. While often when using a library computer when needing a new prescription for your eye glasses often having to see ads about memory loss and tingly sensations in your feet and hands too. While say being a high school student wearing only flip flops in the winter among other students of similar age dressed warm in a very cold climate for awhile before age 18. When being told they have to learn 2 languages now in only 1 year while they are continuing to finish high school.

  • @sassulusmagnus

    At 6:49 he refers to "capitulating to things like Wokeness", seeming to suggest that awareness of social injustices such as racism (which is what Wokeness originally meant) somehow represents an erosion of Christian moral authority. A bit confusing. He's correct in his position that it undercuts the Gospel message when Church leaders appear to both condemn and in some ways also accept actions contrary to Christian morality. 2 Timothy 4:2. Christians should expect to have to go against the grain, culturally speaking. In a secular society this might happen frequently. Consumerism, nationalism, environmental irresponsibility, social injustices; these are all features of modern societies in regard to which the message of the Gospel is counter-cultural. His comments about the article that appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (17:00 and following) are inaccurate, leading me to wonder whether he really read the article or was simply offended at its original title (later amended by the editors of the Atlantic Monthly). The article actually warns that extremists are beginning to improperly make use of religious symbols such as the Rosary as a way of disguising an agenda that is actually contrary to the message of the Gospel. It's an old trick that extremists have used before as a way of lending an air of moral legitimacy to a fundamentally immoral agenda.The KKK's use of the symbol of the Cross is a vivid example.
