- I can’t wait for you guys to meet my guest this week! Fr. Augustine Wetta is a great friend and his joy and love for the Lord are just contagious. He is a Benedictine monk, lover of obscure saints, and author of Pray. Think. Act. Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers. He’s also living with early onset parkenson’s…which makes his contageous joy that much more inspiring.
Today, we talk about some of Fr. Augustine’s favorite saints (did you know there’s a Patron saint of “unattractive people”?), his love of the Desert Fathers, who nicknamed themselves the Athletae Dei, “the Athletes of God,” how to make and stick with big life decisions, and how to stay the course in your vocation when life gets tough.
We had so much fun in our conversation, and we hope you have just as much fun watching!

Father Wetta brings me so much joy 🤍
Yes! I remember seeing him on Matt Frad's "Pints with Aquinas" channel as well in a bit longer format - so there, you can look it up for some more joy 💟
My husband of more than 20 years at that time, died of small cell CA of the lungs 18 years ago. I was his caregiver through it all. Your words ‘love is proved in the crucible of suffering’ is so so true. Love much like Faith is just the way it must be. God Bless you both!
Fr Augustine Wetta. The best example of being joyful in suffering.
Every time I am going through immense spiritual warefare, God always throws Father Wetta my way with exactly what I need to hear.
Also, ironically, I just started a book study group on the desert fathers. So that was good timeing.
Also, the qoute chris read about the monks who wouldn't say they were lost, also hit me too.
Fr. Wetta you are such a HOOT!!!
Thank you for bringing to us such a wonderful man. He truly knows how to live our faith, and teach us.
I totally loved this interview; I needed the encouragement more than I realized! I'm going to read Pray. Think. Act. now! 😆
Beautiful!
Father Wetta is one of the Best!
Fr. Wetta is such a joy to listen to. 😁❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
32:12“ It doesn’t really matter what you decide …” …
The really happy, holy people were not people who were making good decisions there were the people who were committed to the decisions they had made.” 41:15 Chris and Father thank you for the interview. 🙏❤️
I have not laughed this much or hard since I can remember when! Thank you Father Wetta and Chris. Can not wait to get the book. God Bless, Craig
Father Augustine is awesome. I loved his book on humility. I bought 3 and gave to my sisters!
Another outstanding interview! The difference between this one and all the others is that I did not want this one to end. I could listen to Father & Chris talk for hours. Soooo enjoyable. Thank you guys 😇
Heavenly Father please continue to give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I face challenges that can seem impossible especially with raising two children with special needs. Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children and I feel so alone. I’m constantly in fear. At times I want to give up. Jesus give me strength and renew my faith.❤️💕❤
Keep looking up, my friend. Long ago, After 15 years of marriage, Father of my 9 children left when baby was 9 mos. More than day by day... but moment by moment. Keep breathing. Tell your children... "We are not in a broken family because our Heavenly Father completes your home!" ❤ Find consolation from frequent Confession with a holy priest. Stay close to Our Lady & Divine Mercy will sustain you. You will witness miracles. Christ's love & peace to you, my friend❤
Praying for you dearhreart, "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted". Father we lift up your Princess, your daughter King of kings; in Christ heir according to the promise of Abraham. We pray for miraculous provision for her and her children, above and beyond what she might hope for. May you show her as only You can how you know the number of hairs on her head and go before and behind her, with her in all times. In the name of the Father and of the Son, Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit. 💗
Love Fr Wetta!! Such a unique soul and vocation 🎉he cracks me up…serious quirky Saint in the making!
Pure gold- appreciate you guys!
This is THE most Spicoli Priest I've ever seen.
Excellent!!🎉😊
I needed this joy like a donut on a turnpike, so it’s scope and ghost tubers and stick to the summits and slides not the rapids I’m out
Had to pause you guys to admire that fireplace.
I probably will be the saint in helping finding a good husband and figuring out what you are supposed to do in life, and not feeling like a failure. Cause I'm struggling with all of these..
Good husbands are made not born. And it can take a lot of time and patience. Or so I am told.
@@Gpacharlie sure, just like a wife. But you aren't going to go and marry just anyone off the street. There are certain criteria that a man must acquire before getting married. No one is perfect, but there is a difference between a man who has a servant's heart, is kind and strives to sainthood compared to a man who cares nothing but for himself and wants others to serve him. You need to be wise with your choices before you say "I do".
@@Chydova That is very true. A solid christian understanding of what it means to be a good wife or husband is crucial as is a high level of maturity.
@@Chydovait's better wait than suffering with the one who supposed to love but does opposite. I wish I was single again and start over with knowledge I have.
Hey Chris, To answer that video title question: parton saint of Dracut ( MA) all of technology and food idea, etc.
Amen
Chris, you wrote: "did you know there’s a Patron saint of homley Catholics? I need those prayers!"
No way you need prayer as a "homely catholic"? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
There should def be a Saint of perpetual suckers.
Had to stop video when making fun of French😮
