DNC=Death National Convention. Instead of the Transcendentals, we see on display Evil, Lies and Ugliness. These are the Descendentals, the voiding of Reality through lived hatred. The veil between the supernatural and the natural struggle is now so thin as to be transparent to all, not just to the wise and good. Anima Christa, salva nos. Happy John 6, Padre!

Love you Father!

Corpus Christi looks great! I really like that flagstone. The outdoor area looks great too! How a person, especially a Catholic, could vote for a party that supports and embraces so much, that is clearly evil in the eyes of God, is beyond me. People don't get what the real meaning of submission is, when it comes to Christianity. Submission means that a person is dedicated to the same "mission". That is where the word comes from. It means a wife, or a husband for that matter, is working under (sub) the same mission as her husband or his wife. They both have the same mission and the same goal when it comes to a family. I has nothing to do with a woman just giving into her husband or somehow being less than him. God bless! Vivat Jesus!

The Church looks beautiful, I love the slate floor; it has a 70’s retro look, nice job 👍 The country is morally bankrupt and sinking in depravity. This election will be hell on earth.

I hope you had a great Feast of the Assumption! Thanks be to God, I will never forget John Chapter 6 now. I don't know how many times I have read the Bread of Life Discourse, but it is now imprinted in me. It's amazing how the Lord can speak to you. Even if it's just one word, it can make all the difference. I forgot to thank you for the shout out when I spoke with you on the phone earlier. Thank you for all you do! God bless! Vivat Jesus!

Love the text from Justin Martyr! Happy Feast of the Assumption, Padre.

I’d like to add a quick warning to this comment: it may come off as rough or very forceful, even though that is not my intention. This Mass is a masterwork of beauty. Can I witness this myself? No, not really. Do I care? Not at all. Why? Because this mass is beautiful in its own right, but Vatican II was important for the Church to modernize and expand. Additionally, Vatican II was not what changed the liturgy (that was a post-conciliar thing) but it was the most important council for deciding the future of the church too. All I ask is to please stop blaming the Mass on Vatican II, and if you don’t have a Vetus Ordo mass nearby, try the best to make the Novus Ordo as reverent as possible. Why? 1. Novus Ordo is valid. 2. The more you try to do to make the Novus Ordo reverent, the more sacrifice you are putting in personally to see to it. Sacrifice is worship. 3. The Vetus Ordo will not die. Even though Pope Francis has limited it, he refuses to ban it, for many reasons.

Thank goodness I forgot to tune in to see the opening day. I am not even watching this Olympics when I heard about the disgusting show!

Thank you, Father. Much appreciated.

Sad to say that this is so true. BTW I’ve boycotted the Olympics too

Another outstanding video Father. I worry about the next Pope and what direction he will take. Francis is not my Pope.

Greetings, Father Francis! Each Olympic games still occur every four years, but are staggered, so we get one every two years. I saw a few seconds of the video on CZcams and turned it. The photo you showed is definitely worth a thousand sins. I would like to say, I can't believe the media tried to spin it like they weren't mocking The Last Supper, but were instead depicting a celebration of wine with Dionysus, but I can't. The progressive media has become infested with evil and they don't do a very good job of trying to hide it. CNN and MSNBC are the absolute worst. I refuse to watch the Olympics live, although there are a few sports I try to catch the highlights of, on CZcams. They mocked it, simply because they knew it would offend Christians. The abomination mafia, as a whole, has fallen into such a "deep state" of sin; without conversion, repentance and prayer for forgiveness, which due to their stiff-neckedness I don't see happening; their fate is all but sealed. People, who support them, including many in the Church, aren't too far behind them, if they don't change their beliefs. It is so sad that even leaders in the Church have placed their political ideologies ahead of their spirituality. I truly believe, in the cases of Catholic leadership, as well as the laity, it all comes down to the fact people have lost the fear of God. How else would you explain people defending and supporting sins, which God calls abominations in the book of Leviticus? People will rue the day they chose to defend and support sin over the Word of God. May God continue to bless you, Father Francis! Vivat Jesus!

Thank you for standing up for Our Lord in His Last Supper and in the Consecration. I laughed at the zapping graphic... I have boycotted the Olympics ever since it went political many years ago: but I remember everybody watched, when I was a kid. It only happened every four years, the athletes were proudly representing their countries. It embodied world peace, and it was good clean fun. not now...

Bear with me on this, but just a few lines down in scripture; Jesus gave us the first lesson on entitlement. That was, "Don't feed the bears". After the miracle, many of the 5,000 did not seek Jesus because they recognized the miracle he performed, but rather because they received free food. Bears and the entitlement crowd are very much alike. They will take and take until your cabinets are bare. Once the free food stops, they will both become aggressive, to the point of being barbaric, and be unbearable to be around. You might even have to put up barricades to keep them away. God bless! Vivat Jesus!

Is audio very low and only one channel ?

Excellent commentary 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Christian responsability! As my sainted mother and father taught…..Jesus will supply our needs….not necesaarily our wants. He expects us to do our part as well. Peace be with you🙏

Hello Father, the second picture is my iPhone Lock Screen photo. I truly appreciate your efforts to get this message out. FIGHT!

I appreciate your unscripted perspective, Father Francis, and thank you for sharing it. During my TV viewing, I witnessed the entire event in real time. Upon hearing the shots and then seeing President Trump suddenly lower himself, I was taken aback. As the Secret Service hurried towards him, I felt a terrible sensation and was apprehensive about the outcome. Immediately upon his standing up with a bloodied face and holding up his fist, I jumped and cheered with the rally participants. I had faith that he would be fine at that point. The epic scene will be immortalized in history books. I was also impressed by the strength and bravery displayed by the rally participants. No one fled and became frightened, which could have resulted in a stampede. Rather than moving, they calmly remained where they were while impatiently waiting. The two supporters of President Trump on the bleachers, who were looking for any suspicious activity in the crowd, showed remarkable fortitude. I thanked God 🙏 for His Divine Intervention. July 13th was also the day of the third apparition of Our Lady of Fatima to the 3 shepherds in 1917 at Cova da Iria.

Great video, Father Francis! I can't help, but feel like a broken record because once again, you won't find me disagreeing with anything you said. I could take the easy way out and just type "ditto" for a comment. 😁 I was a "dittohead" after all, as I'm sure you were too. This world is not getting any better. I saw a big change in society, towards a more negative outlook with more anger and hate in the 1990's. That is when I first noticed division starting to take place in our country. It has only gotten worse since. Remember when it used to be common courtesy not to talk religion or politics when in mixed company? Common courtesy and common sense are in short supply these days. People do and say things now with the intention of angering others. I really don't like what I'm seeing in the world. As I said in my last comment, which CZcams wouldn't allow me to post; I think the attempt on Trump's life solidified a lot of conservatives. That wasn't just an attack on him. It was an attack on everyone, who has the same political beliefs. May God continue to bless you! Vivat Jesus!

Harris is just another puppet for the radical left - She is inept and young enough to mold like silly putty and perfect for the hardened subversive left. If she won, it really would be time to leave the U.S .

So beautiful looking up there! It would be great to take a walk in a rain storm. We rarely have "rain storms" in the warmer months, here in Texas. Warmer month storms here either have high winds and/or strange looking "tubes" that come out of the clouds, which you wouldn't want to walk into. Our rain storms come in October, when it's too cold to enjoy a walk outside. In this video, you speak of something, as a convert, I am very familiar with. My convert-ion was purely divine intervention. As a Police Officer, I responded to a residence for a verbal disturbance between a father and his drug user son. Little did I know at the time that the father would become my best friend, would introduce me to the Catholic Church and would sponsor me through RCIA. My initial fear was "losing" the person I was, because there were things I liked and music I listened to and language I used, that was/were not things a Christian did. I did not go into Catholicism half-heartedly. I jumped in feet first. To change as many things about a person, which are negative, that need to be changed, instantly, would set a person up for failure. I learned and still am learning the beauty of conversion. I never had to consciously decide that "this" has to go in my life. The more I went to Mass, the more I prayed and the more I read God's word, the less important the things, which I was scared to change and lose, meant to me. And it continues to this day. No one can convince me that conversion isn't a miracle. God bless! Vivat Jesus!

Blessed Wednesday to you Father. Take care in this summer ☀️ 🙏🙏🙏 to you and your parish family.

Hello Father, I have not commented in a while but I do love your weekly videos. Hope you are well and happy.

Thanks for the story about your great mentor priest in Seminary. We are glad for the part he played in your ordination, Padre! You are fighting the good fight! Cheers.

Nice reflection Father! Really reminds of our true devotions and priorities we should have in these times. Your thumbnails do tend to be a bit click baity though, made me double take thinking you were spreading dissent lol

Father, did you hear about the priest, Father Bill Moisant, who allowed Tibetan Buddhist monks to enter his parish church and instruct parishioners in their religious practices and led them in non-Christian chants? It happened at Resurrection Catholic Parish in Tualatin, Oregon. The article on LifeSite News is, "Catholic church in Oregon allows Buddhist monks to lead ‘meditation’ before the altar". A witness said, “Our Lord was compared to Buddha as a great teacher, a theologically inaccurate and offensive statement.” “The presentation emphasized Buddhist meditation techniques to escape suffering, seemingly ignoring Christ’s suffering and death on the Cross.” This occurring not long after who knows how many blasphemous gay pride masses were held during the month of June. On top of that we have the excommunication of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. What is going on in Christ Jesus' church today? It is maddening! I do not doubt the Church's marxist/socialist/woke hierarchy is intentionally doing all these things in an attempt to get Catholics, who are faithful to Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium into schism so they can control Christ Jesus' Church and try to destroy it. They will not prevail against it! I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of high ranking Catholics officials, who will eventually find themselves in the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

It's bad enough when so many people talk about "my truth", as if they get to make up their own. It's worse when Christians try to create "my own Jesus" in their image and likeness. It's worst of all when people in the Church hierarchy, who have ideologies that run counter to the faith, play the part of spin doctors and accuse those, who are faithful to Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium, as being "backwards" and pushing ideologies. God bless! Vivat Jesus!

Hello Father Francis! You hit the nail on the head. I did a little research on Pope Francis from his time as bishop of Buenos Aires. In one interview I read, which was written right after he became pope, the person said he "has always been an enemy of TLM". The interviewee stated he persecuted priests in his diocese, who celebrated TLM. He also stated people in Argentina were "horrified" when he became pope. From the article; I gathered he was not particularly popular in his home country. This made me wonder if that is the reason he has not once visited Argentina in the 14 years since he became pope? Your thoughts? To add to what you touched on; the tradition of the Catholic Church has not been to welcome unrepentant sinners, who just want affirmation. This traditional belief is 180 degrees from what progressives and modernists want in the Church. It is true jealousy because the Church does not and can not accept the unrepentant sinners, who just want to be affirmed in their sin. I have found that progressives in the Church can be just as nasty and hateful as progressives in politics. There are a lot of them, who are one in the same, in my opinion. I have been in some online debates over the last couple of weeks where I have been called a heretic, a schismatic and worst of all, a protestant 🤣. Can you feel the love? God bless! Vivat Jesus!

well,yes, and deeper: I think it's happening on principle: they seek to destroy the faith and to do this the Mass and the Eucharist (and all the Sacraments) must be hollowed out. Every single change without exception, all have the effect of depressing the sense of the sacred and elevating the sense of man as god: to do that you have to mow down whatever impedes the "inevitable progress." ("doing a Biden" was funny). Thanks for keeping a straight head, a clear tongue and a charitable heart! He Is Risen,

Funny, "doing a Biden," lol. Seems I caught the tail end of the premier, so I'll go see the beginning, to start my Saturday off right :-)

Bergoglio needs to go - period. He’s not a legitimate Pope, caused tremendous upheaval and doesn’t uphold Catholic dogma. People will continue to go to TLM and Priests MUST ignore this illegitimate interloper just like most laypeople are ignoring him. He’s not the first fake-pope and he should go start his own religion in SF where he belongs. Hopefully Viggano exposes the skeletons in Bergoglios closet soon.

Hi there. I was arguing with you yesterday about Christianity (I’m under a different screen name right now) and needed to apologize after I’ve had some time to think. I was rude with some of the things that I said, clearly not reflecting Jesus’ qualities. I stand on what I said though in regard to Jesus saying no one is the father EXCEPT for the ONE. The interaction was not what I had hoped for but I was triggered by you saying I needed to read my Bible more because it’s TRUE. All in all, thank you for waking me up to some things that need work and for helping in my feeling conviction. By the way, I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and trying to work all of that out after many years.

Great homily, Father Francis. “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Unfortunately too many people choose not to be free.

The truth is the truth whether people like it or not

Hi Father Francis! Nice and different setting for a change. There was an exhibition at Good Shepherd nearly 2 years ago on Blessed or Saint Carlo Acutis’ Eucharistic Miracles and relics. I heard about him when he died of leukemia at age 15 in 2006. I wish I was here during the exhibit. Thanks again for sharing your video.

Lauda Sion Salvatorem, lauda ducem et pastorem in hymnis et canticis

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, FATHER FRANCIS! I hope you are having a wonderfully blessed day! ✝ ☦

I am eighty one years of age and watching this has me in tears of joy at what we had but very much tinged with a great sadness at what is lost to us. I am amazed at how I remember every bit of it like it was yesterday. I can sing along with it so much was the wonderful impression it had on my young mind all those years ago. Look at the reverence one can feel and the beautiful discipline of it all. Everyone concentrating on worshipping our beloved Lord.

Howdy, Father Francis! You definitely hit the nail on the head when it comes to parishioners not wanting to get involved with teaching, or wanting to get involved with anything to do with the Church, for that matter. When I received confirmation back in 2017, my sponsor and best friend volunteered us to teach catechism class, for high school boys. There was a class for middle school boys 7-9th and one for middles school girls 7-9th. Then there was our class, for high school boys, grades 10-12, and a corresponding class for high school girls. A total of eight teachers, plus the DRE. Each class had two instructors. It has now officially become impossible, in my parish, to find enough people, who are willing to sacrifice an eternity, which we refer to as 1 1/2 hours, each Wednesday evening, so the youth of our Church can receive confirmation and fully enter into this wonderful Catholic Church. Of the eight instructors and DRE we had when I first started teaching in 2017; I am the only one left. It is a very similar situation in our Knights of Columbus council. Of the 200+ Knights we have, maybe 15-20 show up at meetings. And it's the same 15-20 people at every meeting. To be quite honest Father Francis; I am at a loss. My friend Mark, who sponsored me, was the Grand Knight the past two years. Mark and I busted our rears recruiting and making sure we had every needed box checked. We won every award a council could win in 2022. We asked when the last time the council had won all the awards, and someone guessed it was back in the 90's. We hoped all the work we put in and the awards the council received would reinvigorate Knights to comeback. You guessed it. It didn't do squat! We did not push ourselves at all this year. I don't know if we will get any awards. I can't help, but think of the quote from Pope Pius V, where he said, all the evils of the world are because of lukewarm Catholics. That is paraphrased, of course. I don't know what to do. I had the thought to send our an anonymous to all the members and call them out, but if they have no shame to begin with, that isn't going to do anything. OK, off my soapbox. You got to vent a couple weeks ago, so it was my turn! 🤣 May God continue to bless you and may you have a blessed week! Vivat Jesus!

We are unlucky to have lost a lot. it is not our fault.God will provide us from his infinite richness.

My wife and I could not agree more with your viewpoint. So where can we live that is fair? Love you Padre.

Amen! I’m voteing for the outlaw!🇺🇸

Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. Marxist. Totally true. Not only does the corrupt "verdict" seek to rig the upcoming election, it seeks to teach you and me that this is no longer the rule of law, it is the rule of muscle, so toe the line or else. Second: why is the flag displayed upside-down, I thought that was disrespectful? Third, it's not the word but the thing which is disgusting (though Christ's Vicar speaking like a lowlife is just another sad novelty). And how many is "too many", this is the part I can't believe. I thank God you persevered through seminary after it was made clear to you that you were in the "minority." How sad that realization must have been: the fellowship we all need and you had a right to expect would not be there for you. The corruption was prepared long before the noxious flowering we are experiencing. Caused by the sexual revolution? That also did not come out of nowhere. Anyway, a true Eucharistic revival would mean recovery of genuflecting, silence where the Tabernacle is, kneeling to receive, no more hands, and most of all, long lines for Confession. Instead we get processions. What kabooki theater (not that I am against Eucharistic processions per se and I hope yours is well-attended, the program sounds beautiful). Anyway, thank you for both your military and your priestly service, Padre. Hail to our Eucharistic Lord. Happy Name Day to Corpus Christi. God bless and keep you.

My parish will be having a Corpus Christi Procession for the first time since I've been here. I've served in the Knights color guard for other parish's processions, but it will be special to take part in our own procession! I believe "frociaggine" is the word Pope Francis used. Could the HS have put that word in his vocabulary? I am a proud, unapologetic, God fearing, Catholic American! There are too many nominal Catholics. p.s. Our country has been in distress for 3 1/2 year!

Is youtube “Like” button down? Anyway, Thank you Father for sharing your thoughts on yesterday’s very flawed decision by a very crooked judicial system in NY. It does not make any difference to my vote this coming November, 2024. TRUMP2024🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

There’s only one candidate that I will definitely cast my vote for! TRUMP2024! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸❤️

Please vote for the prolife candidate of our choice. For a voter“ is justified by faith apart from works of the Law . . . not by faith alone . . . for faith apart from works is dead . . . but faith working through love” (Rom. 3:28, Jas. 2:24, 26, Gal. 5:6). Amen, thanks Padre!
