How wonderful to hear a young man in this crazy world to rely on Mary and her son his own mother must be so proud. God Bless him and you Tom always. I pray for my children who have fallen away from the faith. Kate from Ireland
How wonderful to listen and see this young man’s testimony with gentleness and humility of the power of faith. His understanding and meaning of being a Catholic is so wonderful / I’m still trying to get to where he is and I’m way older! So inspiring one day I hope to be in Medjugorje myself, God willing, and immerse myself in the beauty of Gods love ❤️ 😢
Sylvan, thank you for your candid testimony from the heart. Thank you Tom, infinitely, for all your inspiring podcasts. I just made a vow that if my nephew who is Sylvan's age & resembles him, agrees to go to Medjugorje, I will accompany him. Our Lady touched him in 1998. But over the years, he's drifted away. When we get to Medjugorje, I'll find you Tom. Until then. Bless you all.
Beautiful testimony from the ❤. Deep emotion in his eyes and sincere in his responses. Another "chosen" person Our Lady guided you to interview. An inspiration for younger people to open their ❤to Jesus. 🙏
The reason why I must go to the Tom Medjugorje RUclips channel every day... because if I don't go, I might miss the testimony of such a wonderful young being... but even after a few days, God gave me the chance to listen... Wonderful, wonderful , wonderful! 😇🙏❤️ Thank you Sylvan and Tom! 😇 I have to write something more... I'm listening again and I feel like I'm listening to a future priest... 🙏❤️🕊
How wonderful to hear from this young man, God’s chosen one and our Mamma Mary’s darling ❤. Love you son❤❤❤❤God bless you and Mamma Mary and all the saints protect you and keep you safe.❤❤❤❤
What a lovely testament i love going to mass every morning to receive our lord and we are so lucky to have adoration 6 days a week from 2pm till 6pm when i am on holidays i always look for a Catholic mass and find out if they have adoration god bless him 🙏 i would love to see him going back to mass pray the rosary fast and monthly confessions
It was so moving and inspirating for me... Thank you Sylvan for your deep, wise and bright words. 🙏 And thank you Tom for making this beautiful interview.
You were baptised in the Catholic Faith, you confessed and you can receive Holy Communion as far as I understand. Confirmation is your next Sacrament to receive. You would make a wonderful preacher, you have such beautiful qualities. God Bless you and your family and all your wonderful friends.❤
Sometimes we complain too much and we miss the good things that happen in our lives, this fine young man Sylvanis a very great example of hope and goodness and how lucky we are to have the good Lord and our Mother Mary to turn to and give a helping hand and fill our hearts and minds with hope, show us how to kind, generous and helpful to others we meet
Receiving the Body of Christ without Confirmation, it will lead you to seek Confirmation..I told my Priest I had done the same out of desperation earlier in my life..He told me a story of a Man of another religion did this while wheeling his patient up the line in mass,he was given it received it then in that moment convert by the Eucharist. He brought his whole family into the faith eventually..The Eucharist is a miracle so will bring about miracles
In words the words of Mother Angelica and Jim Caviezel. Our lady is the Co redemptrix . Living in the United Kingdom. I live Warrington it full of Catholic churches. Even St Mary's shrine latin Mass which is beautiful. My priest said the divine will is not biblical or approved by the church. Although l did think god was calling me to it. Miss Madgigoryg sadly l'm to ill to go this time strength and faith. Wish him all the best Godbless . 🙏❤️🙏
My brother in Christ thank you for sharing, this was beautiful. I am 32 and went to Medjegorje last year for the first time. If I may offer some advice, God Willing it may be of some help. Your instincts around humility, particularly towards obedience to the Church regarding Mary's role in salvation and need for confession, are right. I took a Bible Study course with approx 50 protestants from different denominations last year. Thankfully I was solid enough in my Catholic faith to not be misled, but I empathise that when you are surrounded by on fire protestants who love Jesus, invoke the Holy Spirit and immerse themselves in the word of God, it is quite confusing as to why the Catholics do not seem to have this, at least not in terms of the same numbers seemingly, particularly where you live. In short, we have the fullness of the faith. It is for us to learn it, become living witnesses to it, and then in time God will use others to bring others to the fullness of the Catholic faith. The closer I have got to Mary, the closer I have got to her Son. There have been several spiritual checkpoints along the way, some key ones being (which I highly recommend): - Praying the Most Holy Rosary daily, with a good rosary booklet initially to help us know on that to meditate on, and ask for, in each mystery. - Wearing a miraculous medal around your neck and praying daily "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee". Not keeping it in your pocket only, doing is as she has invited us to do. - Being enrolled by a priest in a Carmelite scapular, again wearing it around my neck. I have received several signal graces from this point on (where God reveals Himself in special ways to us in our day to day lives). - Joining the Legion of Mary. - Doing a 33 day Consecration to Our Lady (I would highly recommend 33 Days to Morning Glory - it only takes 10 minutes each day, and is exceptionally transformative) There are certain things as Catholics, especially early on in our spiritual journey, where we must be humble and obedient to the teachings of the Church. As Catholics, we believe that we can confess venial sins to God ourselves. This is why we have the confiteor at the beginning of mass ("Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy"). But in order to be absolved of mortal sins we must do this through the Holy Sacrament of Reconciliation; Confession. This is an area in which many Catholics need to reflect on, and act on. It is only when we begin to develop our relationship with God through this Sacrament, that we begin to prepare more properly to receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. It is only then that we permit Him to more fully transform us, as we no longer want to enter Holy mass without being in a state of grace. Remember, missing Sunday mass (and Holy Day mass) is a mortal sin. Our catechism asks us to frequent confession once every two months. Our Lady (if you believe the apparitions) invites us through Medjegorje to go at least once a month. I personally try to go once every 1-2 weeks. The more apostolic we become the more important it is to ensure we are continually in a state of grace. Confession is a wonderful gift to use, and something which we should enjoy as it an encounter with Our Lord where He makes our souls as white as snow. It is something we should look forward to. Look forward to bearing witness by living this example. You have been called to greatness. You have been called to Sainthood. Our Lady has invited you to Medjegorje for a reason. Never stop leaning in to her, and to her Son. Also St Joseph is a G, check out Fr Calloway on him on RUclips. God Bless my friend. Reach out any time through my Channel if you would like.
Lovely testimonial..I think often people have little objection to beach resorts or holiday destinations but pilgrimages become questions of faith. I would say enjoy the pilgrimage and do some sightseeing and treat it like a holiday to enjoy. Have days out in Mostar etc and enjoy the food along with Mass, Adoration, Cross Mountain, Apparition Hill.. etc
Wowwwww I hope and pray for our brother Testimony our young children will learn from this his Experience Mama Mary and your mother will be happy for your Blessings thank you for sharing In this Interview Tome Good job God bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👼👼👍👍👏👏👏👏💒💒💒💒💒💒🕊️🕊️🕊️🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

I agree. So wise and graced with so many good senses about our faith at such a young age! It is really humbling. God bless him!

Sylvan is a catholic theologian ...this is my opinion
Check out the Walsingham Shrine in Norfolk, England, it is a Marial Shrine 🙏
London has so many catholic churches. St patricks in soho is beautiful. I also attend st Ethelredas church in central london. it is the oldest carholic church in all of britain. the history is incredible
Where you in England come to Battersea at st, mt. Carmel Bro..
