Enjoyed your Q&A. Please do more of these. You are blessed to articulate church teaching on sensitive topics. Keep it up as you are sowing the seeds of faith. Evangelization has a curiousity component in it. Think of all those viewers you (through the Holy Spirit) have been able to connect with.
Fr. You are so gifted in preaching truth always.i never heard you were not such a great preacher. Yesterday pray for vocations.we Daughters firmly believe God is still sending us wonderful young women. They are still out there just ask them Did you think of becoming a sister????????that works Also A priest???????
Fr. Casey, thank you for everything that you do. Even though we don't know each other, I feel like you do care about me and everyone else! You answered the God's will for me question better than I've ever heard. It was a great help with me discerning where I need to go with my life. Thank you
Thank you for answering my question. It's great you enjoy preaching. Fun fact, the fear of public speaking is even higher than the fear of death! Years ago, I used to hate public speaking. Thankful for the public speaking club in college and the Public Speaking Colloquium for helping me conquer my fear.
It is a sign of leadership which many do not want to take up🙏🏻😄 but we need leaders in this day and age. God blesses those who denies themselves and take up the cross and fight for his kingdom.
Fr.Your teachings are wonderful,if the priests teaches the Catholic faith like this one the entire world would be converted to catholism.l am radical Catholic Catechist who pationately teaches Catholic faith in relation to the Bible in my local community.And the Holy spirit has through me converted many people to the church.
Thank you about discussion regarding confession. Also, the sharing of His divinity was a great revelation. A good prayer life always open doors. Thank you for how the gay community should be approached. Not all can preach well however our pastors are there to be instruments, vessels of Our Lord not meant to be entertainers. Be disciples and build up the kingdom of God. Great answer. Glad you shared, keep up the great ministry Fr Casey, I am sure God is pleased. God bless you and keep you, and my prayers for all priests continue in my daily prayers.
Always enjoy your videos. I wish someone would do a video on HOW TO pray the liturgy of the hours. Everything I see just defines what they are, and not how one could privately pray the hours throughout the day.
...and in the meanwhile you can approach it by using an App (the one I use is released by Episcopal Conference) 🤗 I can truly understand the difficulties you have, because I had mine too the first time that a nun put in my hands her Breviary. I definitely LOVE praying the Liturgy of the Hours ...it makes me feel in communion with the whole Church, a part of something bigger ...that is the Body of Christ 😃
God bless you Fr. Casey for the work that you had done so far. I did watch the funeral video. I pray for your services to the children of God & pray for all Chrétiens would practice more with the Words of God and attending regularly to the mass so all ceremony will be perfectly fine in the future. Oh also I do pray that there will be more Call on the youth to follow your path 2.
I was raised as a protestant. I was taught the trinity and that Jesus is God. But after much reading of the scriptures I have found so many things that contradict both of those ideas. The Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit were a conundrum especially in light of the unforgivable/unpardonable sin. Within the past few years I've dug deep into scriptures and translations to get to the bottom of it. What I found was that it was a misunderstanding or something similar. The Holy Spirit was said to be the 3rd person in the trinity. But the words used in Genesis 1 during the Creation story was actually ruach ha kodesh translated into Mighty Wind. Upon more digging it became apparent that there were 2 versions. The other version was simply the spirit of holiness. As opposed to having a spirit of anger or sadness etc. Then I found that Jesus said woe to those who call good evil and evil good. Then it made sense. It tore a hole in the Trinity view. Then I questioned the trinity entirely. This lead me to find a difference between Jesus and the Father as well. Now I can't possibly justify seeing Jesus as God. I have many verses showing Jesus not knowing things because only God knows. Then I found Jesus being mentioned separate and unique from the Father. This reasoning is not accepted by most Christians but most Christians believe that Heaven is in some other dimension and when you die you appear there. So I don't give it much credit. I would appreciate some feedback and friendly debate on the subject please.
I would also like to add that although I am a true believer, I have not been to any church in a long time. Primarily due to 1 John 2:18-19 So now I am in limbo.
Well done Fr along with Fr Smcitz and Bishop Barron are great modern they preachers , using the internet to help people to understand the church and help to explain its doctrine and not just what people read about in the media which unfortunately is very anti catholic..
I'm so sorry you had a train-wreck funeral. Try to find comfort in the fact that everyone, in every profession, has this experience. During the first English class I taught, I spoke about 150 words per minute. They were okay words, but when I was finished the class still had 30 minutes left. I laugh about it now; someday I hope you'll chuckle at these little "disasters". Your explanation of finding what God wants us to do was beautiful. Have a Merry Christmas.
Father,I am Evangelical but a great admirer of The Catholic Church. I have found Priests to be fearless,they will bravely answer questions my own Ministers simply jump over or give me a look that says I should just digress. I know you are busy, but this is a simple question,and if you or another Priest could answer it I would appreciate it. Having many Catholic friends from work and my time spent in higher education, I enjoy collecting and discussing Catholic Alter Art and Artifacts ( mostly in photo form, but I have some actual pieces). My question is if I refer to these as Beautiful Catholic Icons , would the word Icon be offensive to a Catholic Friend? Gods Love ❤ Chattanooga TN.
Hi Father Casey, I wish you could preach at my Parish. I The people are so unfriendly and the priest has such a heavy accent that it is difficult to understand him. I converted in 1999 but honestly I visited a Protestant church and they reached out to my family and me. Everyone was friendly and I definitely understood the pastor. I wanted to get our son confirmed but was told it was a 3 year process for him. I mean I miss mass but the church has to change on meeting others.
Penance is supposed to be a sign of one's conversion, and so I listen carefully for what I believe to be the stumbling block in the penitents way and try to come up with the first step for overcoming it. For instance, if someone is having anger or resentment towards another, I will ask them to pray for that person or to an act of charity towards them.
Breaking In The Habit what’s the harshest penance you’ve given (as much as you can say anyway to keep the seal of confession)? Did you initially find it difficult to absolve the pertinent’s sins? Also, is there a prayer you like to say privately before inviting penitents to confess? I hope I’m not intruding into your privacy for asking these questions.
Cyberman King I’ve never given a “harsh” penance because penance is not punishment. Penance is a way to facilitate and represent one’s ongoing conversion, and so I always give things that will help them take the next step in discipleship.
The Catholic Church needs to take a closer look on its approach towards woman’s equal rights within the church, that’s for sure. Glad for the service you provide with your presents and preaching here on RUclips
When I was young, during mass when the priest says " Lord wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." I always thought, well if you didn't smoke you wouldn't have to wash your hands...... thinking the priest was washing away his nicotine.......
@Sterling Crowne that is true, but that doesn't mean that we no longer have to ask for forgiveness. Jesus himself taught us to pray God for forgiveness in the Lord's prayer: forgive us our trespasses.
It's really amazing and wonderful indeed. The ministry that you do with lots of love and enthusiasm by discussing and sharing your knowledge and according to the mind of the church Will surely help me as a priest to serve His people as I work in the mission of Daman in India. God bless you. May your ministry help many more people to come to the Lord.
I’m not a catholic as I do not feel it is based upon biblical truth. However, I like this man and really appreciated his way of being. He shared a lot of encouraging and inspiring things. Thank you, Dave
Hi Fr. Casey. Could you please share your insights as to why Eve was tempted in the first place? Has this to do with Lucifer's disobedience and he knew a seed from Eve would crush him, as per the protoevangelium? Thanks so much in advance. Love your programs.
Hi Father Casey . . I don't know if your here anymore to answer questions .. So I will try and hope you will receive my Q. I am 62 now . . I was a damaged in a sense during my youth that took years to heal and it was from being robbed of being able to think for my self. I don't know if you can understand this but during my depression late teens I found refuge in Music. I contemplated a lot about God and life Mysteries and by the time I was 36 years old after years passed of feeling loneliness of unable to have a soul mate in marriage .. I had a amazing experience of Jesus coming into my heart taking that empty space away. it brought me back to the Church to even wanting to join . . after finding difficulties in finding a religious order i could feel i can fit in and some rejected me . . i was also always in debt owing money that also put obstacles in my way that my labor type of work could not free me from. Partly my fault to because I would spend money in wanting a good sound system that i could not afford in quality to enjoy music better. My down fall is i need to have a drink to relax me during my music sessions . . it put me on a mood level that allows me to relax with the music. . the problem is i tend to eventually drink more then i should. I do this once a week now putting time aside so as to not indulge to much. My question is . . I know i must moderate the drinking side which i am in the process of doing, but am I being unfaithful to Jesus if i put an afternoon aside to have time to relax with music, my session time that may last 3 to 4 hours. I often ask Jesus for permission to allow me but I am not aware how harden my heart is in hearing any answers. I want to love God with all my heart . . I have nothing going for me, no family of my own and while i have to work to survive i feel i need some think to look forward to that I can enjoy in a moment . . I do not live with the world ideas and it keeps me lonely from having common friends . .. many things disturbs me so i can never be clear and it bothers me if I am not being a good friend in return to him. I am a artist by nature and its the creativity art in Music artist i enjoy . . . I listen to mostly Blues type of sound tracks types of music. Am i robbing myself of salvation by spending some time for myself in this matter ? it over whelms me some times with whats going around us today as I need Gods protection against the evils & snares of Satan working through the leaders of the world. God Bless
Here is my personal honest point of view.... if I wanted a married priest or a female priest or whatever... etc.... I would not be a traditional conservative.... old fashion FEMALE CATHOLIC. I just would become a Episcopal worshiper after all the Episcopal church has all that I mentioned above. About the confession it is so true. I am so, so ashammed of my sins. I know that God knows my two sins that are the most punished in His law. Millions of women do it. I know that God loves me even though I am a sinner. I know He loves me because some situations in my life that the only one who have saved me, and helped me is God. Thank so much for all the RUclips videos Father Casey. God bless you all. Peace, and love to all.
Peace be with you Fr. Cole. Do you enjoy playing video games? Do you know of any priests who enjoy playing video games and what is your perspective as a priest about video games? Thanks and God bless you!
You so well explicate the practical understanding of priesthood; but it would be good to hear more about the non-ordained friars. In the early days of the order, it is my understanding Francis gathered lay men (and women through Clare). How do they form community today with the ordained friars? What are Brothers?
Hi Father Casey. I greatly enjoy your videos. They have helped me in several ways. In the future, would you consider reading aloud the questions instead of only showing the question on the screen? I am visually impaired, so I could not read the questions.
I have a question...I find it hard to concentrate when saying the rosary, but I can listen to Elvis gospel sungs with such intent. Can that be a substitute for the rosary?
Hello. Is this a forum to ask questions? Raised and educated Catholic, while i have a good understanding of the doctrine, could someone tell me this? ... I wonder if my deceased parents both forgive me for my failings and appreciate that i tried to be there for them at their end-of-life periods? . . .I feel hurt that my Dad, who was not in his full capacities, was often angry at me, which i understand could partly be because of his dementia and depression and overall suffering. . . . My Mom would beg me and cry asking me to take her out of the nursing home, though it was our family physician who wanted to have her remain there. . . . . We all -- i think --- sensed it was her end-of-life period, and because of that, i wanted to have her come home too to die where she would have preferred to. . . .
Father I have a question if you make a prom to our blessed mother and we break is really bad? Thank you father God bless you and your family I will wait for your response 😊
FATHER- i AM PAST ANY KIND OF "prime" I MAY HAVE OCCUPIED IN MY LIFE. My retirement is set. How can i determine the direction God has for my life? I know these are major-league questions for any social-services professional.
I went to a deacon of the Catholic Church to be invested in our lady of mt Carmel scapular he just blessed the scapular along with my cross, I thought there was a specific investment prayer that went along with the scapula, am I wrong or has it changed? What should I do,?
Father you gave a lesson of the gift of the widow who gave a cake to Elijah. You thought how our gift helps the work of ministry to the faithful. I want to save that lesson and share it. I have not been able to locate. If someone could help me I would be thankful.
Dear Fr. Casey, I'm so grateful to God for the work you're doing, God bless you more. Being a Catholic and sharing the Body and Blood of Christ in each Mass I attend, I don't find it feasible that a Catholic should partake in any other sacrificial meat. 1 Corinthians 10:21 says it clearly. Can we share in the sacrifice offered by other religions?
On the lady of Mount Carmel scapular I have one wool rectangle that has an M on one of the scapulars and the crest of the Carmelites on the other is that still a good mount caramel scapular or does it have to have mother and child and heart of jesus
7.18 - Father you neglect to bring up the beautiful role of Spiritual motherhood that the church DOES talk about (although not enough). My Sisters play a huge role in this and the Church has benefited always from the role of Women Religious!!! :-). Please do not forget them!!
@Sterling Crowne James 5:16 He really did what's amazing ! But we are always sinning so we are supposed to really admit we did sin and confess it honestly.
@Sterling Crowne I was referring mainly to part saying about confessing sins to one another. If we are to talk about modern priests I suppose marriage isn't bad at all but as in video is said , it has its own benefits :) I would be for if there would be choice to have or not have families.
@Sterling Crowne Paul makes it very clear that remaining single allows one’s attention to be undivided in serving the Lord (1 Cor 7:32-35). He recommends celibacy to all (1 Cor 7:7) but especially to ministers, who as soldiers of Christ he urges to abstain from “civilian affairs” (2 Tm 2:3-4).
Sterling Crowne ALL Catholic priests ARE married. They are not bachelors. Their spouse is their parish. Their children is their parishioners. If they do not have a parish, then their spouse is the Catholic Church, and their children are all Catholics in general, although most priests are connected to a community. That's the reason we call priests "Father" rather than "Mister." Being a married man means being tied to a specific family and being required to sacrifice for that family, while a bachelor can go his own way. A married man must stay with his spouse and children, but a bachelor can choose to leave his family. (Obviously this does not include situations where the father needs to leave his family for work, like soldiers, or when a bachelor's parents are sick and need to be taken care of.) Therefore, as a married man, a parish priest's PRIMARY responsibility is his parish. He cannot just go to a different parish to preach even if he feels like it. Do not equate being married only to being legally married.
Not just some married men. In the Byzantine Catholic churches it's the standard for diocesan priests. My priest is married with 3 kids. There 24 churches that make up the Catholic Church, let's not equate Catholicism with Roman Catholicism, Father! Love the videos though
Ben Cafeo I didn’t even know there were other categories of Catholicism other than Roman Catholic. I’ve always heard that Byzantine is just kind of like Catholic but not
Priests like you are what will be people back to the Church and making young people get engaged! Great Work!
Amen.

And Due to your Name , also ready to kill apparently. America is the strangest place on earth.
How do you like being manipulated? Ignorance is not an insult, but it is limiting your mind and making you susceptible to people who want your money.

Thank you Father Casey, its your responses and videos like these that make me proud to be a Catholic. Merry Christmas!
Enjoyed your Q&A. Please do more of these. You are blessed to articulate church teaching on sensitive topics. Keep it up as you are sowing the seeds of faith. Evangelization has a curiousity component in it. Think of all those viewers you (through the Holy Spirit) have been able to connect with.
Fr. You are so gifted in preaching truth always.i never heard you were not such a great preacher.
Yesterday pray for vocations.we Daughters firmly believe God is still sending us wonderful young women.
They are still out there just ask them
Did you think of becoming a sister????????that works
Also A priest???????
Watching from the Philippines...I really loved this priest Thank God I found this video so spiritually uplifting... waiting for more.
Thank you Father Casey 🙏🏻
Thank you for a refreshing approach to answering questions about our faith!
Fr. Casey, thank you for everything that you do. Even though we don't know each other, I feel like you do care about me and everyone else! You answered the God's will for me question better than I've ever heard. It was a great help with me discerning where I need to go with my life. Thank you
Thank you for answering my question.
It's great you enjoy preaching. Fun fact, the fear of public speaking is even higher than the fear of death! Years ago, I used to hate public speaking. Thankful for the public speaking club in college and the Public Speaking Colloquium for helping me conquer my fear.
It is a sign of leadership which many do not want to take up🙏🏻😄 but we need leaders in this day and age. God blesses those who denies themselves and take up the cross and fight for his kingdom.
I'm not Catholic but I'm addicted to this channel and upon friar review. Such good content
Fr.Your teachings are wonderful,if the priests teaches the Catholic faith like this one the entire world would be converted to catholism.l am radical Catholic Catechist who pationately teaches Catholic faith in relation to the Bible in my local community.And the Holy spirit has through me converted many people to the church.
Thank you about discussion regarding confession. Also, the sharing of His divinity was a great revelation. A good prayer life always open doors. Thank you for how the gay community should be approached. Not all can preach well however our pastors are there to be instruments, vessels of Our Lord not meant to be entertainers. Be disciples and build up the kingdom of God. Great answer. Glad you shared, keep up the great ministry Fr Casey, I am sure God is pleased. God bless you and keep you, and my prayers for all priests continue in my daily prayers.
Love listening to you father. Keep up the good work. I love your passion for faith.
Always enjoy your videos. I wish someone would do a video on HOW TO pray the liturgy of the hours. Everything I see just defines what they are, and not how one could privately pray the hours throughout the day.
Get the Divine Office Prayer Book.
For me it's easier praying on the Internet divineoffice.org/welcome/
...and in the meanwhile you can approach it by using an App (the one I use is released by Episcopal Conference) 🤗 I can truly understand the difficulties you have, because I had mine too the first time that a nun put in my hands her Breviary. I definitely LOVE praying the Liturgy of the Hours ...it makes me feel in communion with the whole Church, a part of something bigger ...that is the Body of Christ 😃
@@Memetchi95 Brievery is the book which it is called. You can also Download Laudate App.
God bless you Fr. Casey for the work that you had done so far. I did watch the funeral video. I pray for your services to the children of God & pray for all Chrétiens would practice more with the Words of God and attending regularly to the mass so all ceremony will be perfectly fine in the future. Oh also I do pray that there will be more Call on the youth to follow your path 2.
I was raised as a protestant. I was taught the trinity and that Jesus is God. But after much reading of the scriptures I have found so many things that contradict both of those ideas.
The Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit were a conundrum especially in light of the unforgivable/unpardonable sin. Within the past few years I've dug deep into scriptures and translations to get to the bottom of it. What I found was that it was a misunderstanding or something similar. The Holy Spirit was said to be the 3rd person in the trinity. But the words used in Genesis 1 during the Creation story was actually ruach ha kodesh translated into Mighty Wind. Upon more digging it became apparent that there were 2 versions. The other version was simply the spirit of holiness. As opposed to having a spirit of anger or sadness etc. Then I found that Jesus said woe to those who call good evil and evil good. Then it made sense. It tore a hole in the Trinity view. Then I questioned the trinity entirely. This lead me to find a difference between Jesus and the Father as well. Now I can't possibly justify seeing Jesus as God. I have many verses showing Jesus not knowing things because only God knows. Then I found Jesus being mentioned separate and unique from the Father. This reasoning is not accepted by most Christians but most Christians believe that Heaven is in some other dimension and when you die you appear there. So I don't give it much credit. I would appreciate some feedback and friendly debate on the subject please.
I would also like to add that although I am a true believer, I have not been to any church in a long time. Primarily due to 1 John 2:18-19 So now I am in limbo.
Well done Fr along with Fr Smcitz and Bishop Barron are great modern they preachers , using the internet to help people to understand the church and help to explain its doctrine and not just what people read about in the media which unfortunately is very anti catholic..
Thanks for explaining everything so well. It is never too late To ask questions and get answers.
Thanks so much Father for sharing always! I find myself looking forward to your videos. God bless you.
Great message, Father Casey. Thank you very much.
You give me so much joy in my faith thank you father
father Casey Cole you are really very brilliant person. I am Indian catholic young man I always listening to your speech
That is also my favorite prayer of the Mass.
I'm so sorry you had a train-wreck funeral. Try to find comfort in the fact that everyone, in every profession, has this experience. During the first English class I taught, I spoke about 150 words per minute. They were okay words, but when I was finished the class still had 30 minutes left. I laugh about it now; someday I hope you'll chuckle at these little "disasters". Your explanation of finding what God wants us to do was beautiful. Have a Merry Christmas.
After my life became a disaster, I realized that I was seriously breaking the commandments. I've returned to the Catholic Church.
Yay! Thank the Good Lord for your sweet return! Welcome home :D
Thank you all!! Now I must repair the damage.
Me too..we should start a me too movement...
@@victorugo2654 I like that. Sign me up. I think we could go somewhere with this. 😊👍
Yay! Welcome back! God bless you!
I'M GLAD I BELIEVE IN GOD!
I LOVE JESUS CHRIST!🌹 🌹

Amen!!!
Hey, a Christian furry like me! What a joy in knowing another furry who also loves the Lord.
This is an Awesome video God bless you 🙏 Father 😇
God bless you and your ministry. Good conversational content. I hope you continue to influence more young and old(er) Catholics into ministry.
Father,I am Evangelical but a great admirer of The Catholic Church. I have found Priests to be fearless,they will bravely answer questions my own Ministers simply jump over or give me a look that says I should just digress. I know you are busy, but this is a simple question,and if you or another Priest could answer it I would appreciate it. Having many Catholic friends from work and my time spent in higher education, I enjoy collecting and discussing Catholic Alter Art and Artifacts ( mostly in photo form, but I have some actual pieces). My question is if I refer to these as Beautiful Catholic Icons , would the word Icon be offensive to a Catholic Friend? Gods Love ❤ Chattanooga TN.
Hi Father Casey, I wish you could preach at my Parish. I
The people are so unfriendly and the priest has such a heavy accent that it is difficult to understand him. I converted in 1999 but honestly I visited a Protestant church and they reached out to my family and me. Everyone was friendly and I definitely understood the pastor. I wanted to get our son confirmed but was told it was a 3 year process for him. I mean I miss mass but the church has to change on meeting others.
I have a question: when you hear confessions, how do you choose the penance for us?
Penance is supposed to be a sign of one's conversion, and so I listen carefully for what I believe to be the stumbling block in the penitents way and try to come up with the first step for overcoming it. For instance, if someone is having anger or resentment towards another, I will ask them to pray for that person or to an act of charity towards them.
I see thank you . My question was more like how do you choose someone say 5 Hail Marys , versus 3 our fathers, versus an entire rosary?
Rachel Olvera I don’t ever give penances like that.
Breaking In The Habit what’s the harshest penance you’ve given (as much as you can say anyway to keep the seal of confession)? Did you initially find it difficult to absolve the pertinent’s sins? Also, is there a prayer you like to say privately before inviting penitents to confess? I hope I’m not intruding into your privacy for asking these questions.
Cyberman King I’ve never given a “harsh” penance because penance is not punishment. Penance is a way to facilitate and represent one’s ongoing conversion, and so I always give things that will help them take the next step in discipleship.
The Catholic Church needs to take a closer look on its approach towards woman’s equal rights within the church, that’s for sure.
Glad for the service you provide with your presents and preaching here on RUclips
The lord as blessed utbe with this man of God God bless seamus
Thank You Fr Cole !!!
Just recently I have discovered your channel Fr... I would love to see every single videos that you post 🙏 God bless you Fr🙏🙏🙏
I remember the funeral mass lol.
Everyone was on edge every time we knew something worse would happen hahahaha
Yes, so far I've watched it twice and will again. Fr. Casey has an amazing gift of storytelling, which probably helps his preaching as well.
You should do an updated version of this. 😊
Thank you
When I was young, during mass when the priest says " Lord wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." I always thought, well if you didn't smoke you wouldn't have to wash your hands...... thinking the priest was washing away his nicotine.......
Lol thats Psalm 51:2
@Sterling Crowne that is true, but that doesn't mean that we no longer have to ask for forgiveness. Jesus himself taught us to pray God for forgiveness in the Lord's prayer: forgive us our trespasses.
Blessings Father!
It's really amazing and wonderful indeed. The ministry that you do with lots of love and enthusiasm by discussing and sharing your knowledge and according to the mind of the church Will surely help me as a priest to serve His people as I work in the mission of Daman in India. God bless you. May your ministry help many more people to come to the Lord.
May your tribe grow a million-fold ! ! ! ! ! 😇
I’m not a catholic as I do not feel it is based upon biblical truth. However, I like this man and really appreciated his way of being. He shared a lot of encouraging and inspiring things. Thank you, Dave
moron ubi putatis bibliam abm in primo loco accepisse 🤦♀️
Thank you for the answer of the last question
Very helpful
Home run Fr. Casey!
I receive my grace and mercy
Hi Fr. Casey. Could you please share your insights as to why Eve was tempted in the first place? Has this to do with Lucifer's disobedience and he knew a seed from Eve would crush him, as per the protoevangelium? Thanks so much in advance. Love your programs.
God bless you father, thanks to all our holy priests
Hi Father Casey . . I don't know if your here anymore to answer questions .. So I will try and hope you will receive my Q.
I am 62 now . . I was a damaged in a sense during my youth that took years to heal and it was from being robbed of being able to think for my self.
I don't know if you can understand this but during my depression late teens I found refuge in Music.
I contemplated a lot about God and life Mysteries and by the time I was 36 years old after years passed of feeling loneliness of unable to have a soul mate in marriage .. I had a amazing experience of Jesus coming into my heart taking that empty space away.
it brought me back to the Church to even wanting to join . . after finding difficulties in finding a religious order i could feel i can fit in and some rejected me . . i was also always in debt owing money that also put obstacles in my way that my labor type of work could not free me from.
Partly my fault to because I would spend money in wanting a good sound system that i could not afford in quality to enjoy music better.
My down fall is i need to have a drink to relax me during my music sessions . . it put me on a mood level that allows me to relax with the music. . the problem is i tend to eventually drink more then i should.
I do this once a week now putting time aside so as to not indulge to much.
My question is . . I know i must moderate the drinking side which i am in the process of doing, but am I being unfaithful to Jesus if i put an afternoon aside to have time to relax with music, my session time that may last 3 to 4 hours.
I often ask Jesus for permission to allow me but I am not aware how harden my heart is in hearing any answers.
I want to love God with all my heart . . I have nothing going for me, no family of my own and while i have to work to survive i feel i need some think to look forward to that I can enjoy in a moment . . I do not live with the world ideas and it keeps me lonely from having common friends . .. many things disturbs me so i can never be clear and it bothers me if I am not being a good friend in return to him.
I am a artist by nature and its the creativity art in Music artist i enjoy . . . I listen to mostly Blues type of sound tracks types of music.
Am i robbing myself of salvation by spending some time for myself in this matter ?
it over whelms me some times with whats going around us today as I need Gods protection against the evils & snares of Satan working through the leaders of the world.
God Bless
Here is my personal honest point of view.... if I wanted a married priest or a female priest or whatever... etc.... I would not be a traditional conservative.... old fashion FEMALE CATHOLIC. I just would become a Episcopal worshiper after all the Episcopal church has all that I mentioned above. About the confession it is so true. I am so, so ashammed of my sins. I know that God knows my two sins that are the most punished in His law. Millions of women do it. I know that God loves me even though I am a sinner. I know He loves me because some situations in my life that the only one who have saved me, and helped me is God. Thank so much for all the RUclips videos Father Casey. God bless you all. Peace, and love to all.
We pray for the Faithfulness of our Catholic Dear Priests
As a protestant, God Bless You, Brother Of God!!
"Jesus came to be like us, so that we could come to be like Him"
- I love this
Peace be with you Fr. Cole. Do you enjoy playing video games? Do you know of any priests who enjoy playing video games and what is your perspective as a priest about video games? Thanks and God bless you!
Feels like wired magazine
You so well explicate the practical understanding of priesthood; but it would be good to hear more about the non-ordained friars. In the early days of the order, it is my understanding Francis gathered lay men (and women through Clare). How do they form community today with the ordained friars? What are Brothers?
Great evangelism Father! I think many could relate to a video on unanswered prayers. JMJ we love you. Save souls!
Hi Father Casey. I greatly enjoy your videos. They have helped me in several ways. In the future, would you consider reading aloud the questions instead of only showing the question on the screen? I am visually impaired, so I could not read the questions.
Love the ministry question , n thanks for picking up this ministry we need more priest RUclipsrs
I have a question...I find it hard to concentrate when saying the rosary, but I can listen to Elvis gospel sungs with such intent. Can that be a substitute for the rosary?
I know it's not the same, but you should hold virtual confessions/ and church sessions. I'd donate. Modern day Catholicism. ♥️
We broadcast our mass on Facebook every weekend. Confession, on the other hand, is not allowed.
Hello. Is this a forum to ask questions? Raised and educated Catholic, while i have a good understanding of the doctrine, could someone tell me this? ... I wonder if my deceased parents both forgive me for my failings and appreciate that i tried to be there for them at their end-of-life periods? . . .I feel hurt that my Dad, who was not in his full capacities, was often angry at me, which i understand could partly be because of his dementia and depression and overall suffering. . . . My Mom would beg me and cry asking me to take her out of the nursing home, though it was our family physician who wanted to have her remain there. . . . . We all -- i think --- sensed it was her end-of-life period, and because of that, i wanted to have her come home too to die where she would have preferred to. . . .
I've been lost for so long and just found my way back. I dream of becoming priest and spreading the gospel and the word of God
Father I have a question if you make a prom to our blessed mother and we break is really bad? Thank you father God bless you and your family I will wait for your response 😊
FATHER- i AM PAST ANY KIND OF "prime" I MAY HAVE OCCUPIED IN MY LIFE. My retirement is set. How can i determine the direction God has for my life? I know these are major-league questions for any social-services professional.
Extremely informative!
I went to a deacon of the Catholic Church to
be invested in our lady of mt Carmel scapular he just blessed the scapular along with my cross, I thought there was a specific investment prayer that went along with the scapula, am I wrong or has it changed? What should I do,?
Wonderful!
Father you gave a lesson of the gift of the widow who gave a cake to Elijah. You thought how our gift helps the work of ministry to the faithful. I want to save that lesson and share it. I have not been able to locate. If someone could help me I would be thankful.
Dear Fr. Casey, I'm so grateful to God for the work you're doing, God bless you more.
Being a Catholic and sharing the Body and Blood of Christ in each Mass I attend, I don't find it feasible that a Catholic should partake in any other sacrificial meat. 1 Corinthians 10:21 says it clearly. Can we share in the sacrifice offered by other religions?
On the lady of Mount Carmel scapular I have one wool rectangle that has an M on one of the scapulars and the crest of the Carmelites on the other is that still a good mount caramel scapular or does it have to have mother and child and heart of jesus
Hi Brother Casey! When is your birthday???
You should make a video going on Reddit Catholic threads
7.18 - Father you neglect to bring up the beautiful role of Spiritual motherhood that the church DOES talk about (although not enough). My Sisters play a huge role in this and the Church has benefited always from the role of Women Religious!!! :-). Please do not forget them!!
Embarrassing sins should be confessed to the priest in a different parish where nobody knows you. 😄
That's what I do😩🙈
@Sterling Crowne James 5:16
He really did what's amazing ! But we are always sinning so we are supposed to really admit we did sin and confess it honestly.
@Sterling Crowne I was referring mainly to part saying about confessing sins to one another.
If we are to talk about modern priests I suppose marriage isn't bad at all but as in video is said , it has its own benefits :) I would be for if there would be choice to have or not have families.
@Sterling Crowne Paul makes it very clear that remaining single allows one’s attention to be undivided in serving the Lord (1 Cor 7:32-35). He recommends celibacy to all (1 Cor 7:7) but especially to ministers, who as soldiers of Christ he urges to abstain from “civilian affairs” (2 Tm 2:3-4).
Sterling Crowne ALL Catholic priests ARE married. They are not bachelors. Their spouse is their parish. Their children is their parishioners. If they do not have a parish, then their spouse is the Catholic Church, and their children are all Catholics in general, although most priests are connected to a community. That's the reason we call priests "Father" rather than "Mister."
Being a married man means being tied to a specific family and being required to sacrifice for that family, while a bachelor can go his own way. A married man must stay with his spouse and children, but a bachelor can choose to leave his family. (Obviously this does not include situations where the father needs to leave his family for work, like soldiers, or when a bachelor's parents are sick and need to be taken care of.)
Therefore, as a married man, a parish priest's PRIMARY responsibility is his parish. He cannot just go to a different parish to preach even if he feels like it. Do not equate being married only to being legally married.
Not just some married men. In the Byzantine Catholic churches it's the standard for diocesan priests. My priest is married with 3 kids.
There 24 churches that make up the Catholic Church, let's not equate Catholicism with Roman Catholicism, Father!
Love the videos though
Hey Brother! I am a Syro-Malabar Catholic from India! 😇✌️🙏🏻
I’m a Maronite Catholic :) some of our priests are married
Ben Cafeo I didn’t even know there were other categories of Catholicism other than Roman Catholic. I’ve always heard that Byzantine is just kind of like Catholic but not
Do you have vegan diet as priests? I heard some protestant churches practice the "Daniel diet".
