- Our culture has lost a sense of mystery. Fr. Mark describes the importance of mystery and the harm of a grumbling disposition. He encourages us to surrender to the mystery of God and receive the nourishment which God wants to give us.
Fr. Mark may God protect you all your life
When I was going through RCIA, the one stumbling block I had was Christ's true presence in the Eucharist. I wanted to believe but I needed help. No words could convince me. So I prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the monstrance, and asked Him to reveal himself to me so that I could believe with integrity before my confirmation. He did reveal Himself in the most amazing, supernatural way. By this experience, I would encourage anyone who has doubts to sit in front of the exposed Blessed Sacrament and ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you. Watch what happens!
Fantastic.
So what happened?
The Eucharist is a foretaste of the banquet that Christ has prepared for us in our Father's house. We participate with anticipation, expectation, preparation and awe as we join together with the angels and saints to commemorate Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection. Thank you Fr. Mark for your homilies which point us in the right direction. God bless you!
Thank you Father Mark
There's a whole lot of different aspects of hunger in the modern world these days
Pray for us father so that we could be fulfilled through the spiritual blessings of the Holy sacrament
When God send us a reall Angel here on the earth in the time of darkness 🙏
Right?! 👏👏👍❤️
Thank you for your message of the Real Presence…it is a mystery which sustains us and is the ground of our very being. Praise be Jesus and Mary!
Fr. Mark, amazing! Thanks for speaking the truth with love, just like Jesus did! I have been praying for you and all the priests, especially the new younger pastors, for protection and fortitude in proclaiming the
gospel!
Fr. Mark, I turn to you because you remind me of my son! I miss him so much, Fr. I loved him with all my heart. He passed away almost 8 years ago, and I still miss him like it was yesterday. The pain of loosing him never stops. I still cry my eyes out for him. Fr. Mark, please pray for him and I!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. This Priest is such a Holy man. Keep listening to him. He will bring you comfort. Stay strong .Your son would want you to carry on.
@@alicekapolas3210 My granddaughter misses her daddy. So many things she wants to share with him... she'll be sweet 16 this December. I pray for comfort for both her and I through my Orthodox faith...the Logos is ever with us! The Theotokos is always a mother to us. She has so much love for us! And, of course, Sts. Nicholas and Tihkon. They pray for us as well!
@@josephmillraney1061 Hi Joseph, I’m not in any way trying to diminish the suffering in the family of your loss. To loose a loved one is heart wrenching.I’ve been there myself. I was just saying Father is such a comfort to us all. I will keep your family in prayer.
Have you ever heard of Medjugorje? This is a great site…Marytv.tv feel free to look up. God bless❤️
Thank you...more than you know... Thank you Father.
I love your homilies. Thank you
Thank you Father for reminding all of us of the incredible gift the Eucharist is in our lives! Let us never take this gift for granted!
God restore the St. Michael prayer daily in all churches, services, families worldwide immediately as it was removed during Vatican II and abortions, prayerlessness and all hell ensued as a result.
I’m publishing a weekly RUclips video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you

Keep up with the refreshing, Holy homilies... Jesus I trust in you.
How refreshing to listen to a homily on the sacred presence of Jesus in the blessed sacrament. Thank you Father Mark.
Jesus Christ IS NOT in a 'sacrament' - either He paid the Total price and we repent and accept Him - or it's not so.
but He most assuredly is not in a cookie - or we'd see this worship of the cracker being done in the NT. but it's just not there, Ma'am.
Thank you, Father Mark for feeding the sheep with the Bread of Life! God Bless You with the inspiring "Word" which is the Way, the Truth and the Life- no ambiguity....
Amen
God bless you Father
Thank you Fr. Mark for inspiring and nourishing us spiritually. May our God grant us the interior ligjt to free us from our sinfulness.
What a wonderful priest god bless from Australia. Pray for us in Sydney we need it
Father Mark, the world wants to destroy us. We need your words to give us direction.
I am learning so much from your homilies. And thankful that i found your you tube channel
Thank you Father Mark 🙏🏻
Fr. Mark you are helping so many people! I take my faith so seriously I believe in the body and blood, hearing “the mystery of faith” really made me stop and realize what those words mean. Thank you, Please keep streaming your homilies❤️
WoW, what a great priest... Or just, finally a 'real priest'...
Amen.
May the Holy Spirit guide you always Padre.
IN THE 1960'S, young man, we looked to achieve a sense of mystery and ponder the wonders of God and his creation. Many surrendered to the mystery of God using drugs etc.. It led to disaster for them and their families. I decided to deal with reality and booted this silly practice from my live . I decided to let god lead me . It requires faith patience and trust - all of which nobody has in abundance . It's been almost a mantra of the priesthood when confront with an impossible question from a parishioner ' It's a mystery my child' . Why not be honest and say these four beautiful words: I DO NOT KNOW !
Thank you, Father. Thank you.
Thank you Father Mark. Wonderful homily
Beautiful sermon! Thanks you fr Mark
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and my soul may be healed .

Nightwish put it best:
♫ Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare
Where is the wonder where's the awe
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me ♫
Thank you 🙏🏼 for always, Fr. Mark!
Wonderful sermon Fr.
Thank you for becoming a priest of God, Father. You have your work cut out for you, but your homilies are among the best. So deeply felt; such nourishment for our souls. Very perceptive. So necessary for our day after years of a vacuum in Our Lord's teachings. Again, thank you. God Bless your ministry.
Wow, love your homely, thanks for sharing
You're right father. Nowadays people want to have indepth understanding of each and everything.
So very profound! Thank you!
Love you Fr. Mark 😳Why ?? I see Jesus in YOU🥰💯
awesome homily , thank you Fr Bernhard from Australia
Mathew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth father, for you have one Father and He is in Heaven.
Misuse of sacred scripture is misunderstanding yourself and God
@@frjimt2286 what are your thoughts on John 14:15, Frjim T?
@@frjimt2286 I have no misunderstanding on this subject. Even the Angels told John do not worship me but only God. We are not to worship or pray to dead humans, not the saints not Mary and certainly not a man who calls himself by Gods title …Holy Father. That is blasphemy.
@@mlawson7341Mark 12: 25-27
²⁵ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
²⁶And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
²⁷ He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong.”

Start, dear fr, that the loss of a sense of mystery begins with the way we priests pray, preside, lead... Its the HOLY SACRIFICE of the Mass & too often its become entertaining or worse
tell me -'father'- (see Matt 23:9) Mark - do you believe this malnourishment is because catholicism isn't Biblically literate?
He isn't Biblically illiterate, but you would appear to be (Acts 7:2; Romans 4:1&16, 9:10; Philippians 2:22; Hebrews 12:7; James 2:21).
@@Ggdivhjkjl ahh, then you'll have no problem answering this:
does God's church know God, love Christ and walk in Truth - or do they not?
@@Ggdivhjkjl you were wise to remove the comment about the Lords day - It is obviously still on the Holy 7th day and that will never change.

@Father Mark Bernhard, I have deep respect for catholic brothers and friends. However mystery can also exist in the mysterious presence and symbolic nature and ritual of communion, not necessarily Transubstantiation , which is no more or less relevant than when we discussed it in the 1500's. Climate change is the most important topic in our lifetime (it's not even close, and God weeps at our stewardship) next to the immediate pandemic vaccinations equaling pro life, abolishment of the death penalty, healing for LGBTQ, indigenous, immigrants, decrying the encampment of millions of Muslim uyghurs in China, and dismantling white supremacy. Where is the Catholic Church on the more pressing issues of the 21'st century as Jesus The Christ met with the woman at the well? That "culture" will only leave you in the 1500's until like Paul in Athens, you speak the language of the present time.
Well, if people are not being properly nourished make arrangements to feed them!
Where Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applies to children and adults. So create activities at church where people interact and really got to know each other better. Recreation and leisure are both needed, so nurturing this would be good.
Then, by devotion to God, quit eating pork.
He's dead wrong, self-reliance is the only way to get to Heaven; relying on God will ensure that the ones who do that will wind up in Hell, for not doing their jobs... but total self-reliance is the thing that ensures that those who do that wind up in Paradise for all eternity, as that kind will put his own back into his tasks and do his own work- precisely what is needed to get to Heaven.
White-knuckling it is the only way to wind up in Heaven, as it is completely up to us to get to Heaven; any reliance on eternity will forever ensure that those who do that will wind up in Hell for all eternity for not doing their own jobs.
I myself would turn completely anticatholic due to my endorsement of humility and in full endorsement of humility, as well as rightly totally anti-God due to Him being described as great, as the "most high", that alone engineers hatred for God due specifically to myself pursuing humility.
Representation of Christs offering of himself on the cross? No, never. I like Father Marks homilies but Jesus never said get Priests to offer a sacrifice over and over again, and thank you for piercing me over and over again. Therevis not a scrap of evidence in the new testament for that. I suspect Father you saw the true gospel, you were going to become protestant and were snatched back into Catholicism. Jesus said whilst he was still with them, this is my body, do this (eating and drinking) in memory of me. Not a sacrifice, not bread transformed into Jesus body. In memory of me. Im not suprised 80% of young Catholics don't believe it. It is nonsense.
Hi Satan, Get ye behind us. You are not a believer- so get off the channel troll. O Holy St Michael, please destroy this troll's internet service , in Jesus's name we pray. Amen.
@@lizzie7502 I am a believer, in the truth, not some medieval myth.
@@lizzie7502 Thank you 😉
This priest can only talk about sports. That REALLY turns me off!!! Religion has NOTHING to do with sports! And it doesn't belong in a sermon. I am sure it turns off others who are not into childish things like sports. I am an adult, not a child. He should learn to speak of adult things and leave his childish topics and grow up.
I gave him a chance and he has failed me more than once. Therefore I am unsubscribing. He is not the kind of priest I want to listen to.
No he doesn't just talk about sports. He might bring on sports to help us understand his point of view. But no he is no way all about sports. That is a lie..
@@MariaMartins-vc9yh Well he did talk about sports in the last video and in this video. That's enough to convince me I don't want to hear him speak. I expect a priest to talk about God, the Bible and religion, not about sports because sports are childish and have nothing to do with the subjects a priest should be speaking about during a homily.
You are the one who needs to grow up. What religion do you belong to anyhow - the Church of the Perpetually Offended?
@@briancunningham707 I am in my 60s! I don't need to grow up. The priest does! I am a Catholic and I know the Catholic Faith and it does not include talking about sports in a homily! What is offensive is speaking of sports when he's supposed to speak of God, religion and the Bible.
Sorry Daniel foster about your comments! I too am an adult and not a sportsperson however this young priest appeals to all, young or old. He is a thorough theologian trained to preach the present generation and old doggies like us. He is also a spirit filled priest. We listen to many priest and Fr. Mark is our favourite. Please listen with your Heart and not only your ears.
May the Lord enlighten your mind.
