    I am 71, grew up with my life totally surrounded by the Holy Catholic Church, so blessed to be among holy nuns and priests, sang in the choir for a few years completely in Latin and later in English. In short, the holy Catholic Church has always been the Centre of my life. However, in all honesty I can say that I have NEVER EVER EVER witnessed a Priest addressing the people with such fire and passion as Fr. Frankie Cicero. That burning love for our Lord is so sadly missing in our clergy today. I pray for more laborers into Gods holy vineyard who will pour out the beautiful love of our Lord Jesus and help to lead His sheep home. Thank you Fr. Frankie for your beautiful and heartwarming homily.

      I converted to Catholicism at the age of 55 in 2010. It just gets better and better. This talk found me today. It’s such a blessing.

      Good message but I guess it depends...some of us prefer the old way because sometimes it feels like we are emulating the Protestant way of preaching. The walking around, gesture, voice and all..
      May God bless you and guide you Fr. as you follow on the footsteps of the founding Early Church Fathers.
      Lord God have mercy on us all. Amen

      I too am 71 and up until I saw this video (attached) several months ago I didn’t really understand what the mass was about. This is complementary to Fr. Frankie’s video. czcams.com/video/2-WVVYHbQvw/video.htmlsi=_peE8mkEscGtk7Bv

      The Eucharist is only present in His Holy Catholic church. Never leave it!!!

    Thank you, Fr. Frankie! Your story is my story as well! I was date raped at 19 as a virgin, became pregnant, out of shame and heartbreak and many friends who were advising me in what they thought was the best option for me, I had an abortion. It was a hard decision, but it was easy and I didn't feel a thing. Until it was over. For the next 12 years, I left the Church. I left because in my mind, even though it was rape, I had premarital sex. And, then, I killed my baby! How could I claim to be Catholic anymore. So, I personally excommunicated myself from His Church! I was so ashamed, so lost, in so much pain. So, all through my 20's I lived it all, I fell so far from God and His Church, I was worthless!!!!! So, I drank, I was promiscuous, I was usually in bed, hung over on Sunday mornings! I was successful in my career. I lied to my parents about what happened. But, the only thing I did hold on too from my Faith, or rather She held on to me, was I said the rosary every single time I was so far down, I even contemplated suicide! But, I would always go to Her first, My Mother Mary. She carried me, She held on to me! Slowly, very slowly I started going to Confession. I must have confessed these sins that led me away from the church, a dozen times or more over a 3 year period. After Confession, I'd attend Mass for a week or two, and then, I'd convince myself I was not worthy of participating in the Mass, especially receiving the Holy Euchartist!!!! Then, one day, a very wise and special priest told me, The Church has forgiven you!! God has forgiven you!!!! When are you going to forgive yourself and come back Home to stay. That, was what I needed to hear. I came back, and I came back strong! I volunteered in youth ministry at my Church, then I went back to school and studies Scripture and various other Theological subjects. Then, I left a very lucrative career and started working for the Church in a number of positions over the years as well as on a Diocesan level. I haven't worked for the Church for many years, but two of my very best friends are priests, I Lector, and I lead special projects and events at my Church. My real love and devotion is The Holy Euchartist. Due to health issues, I am unable to be at the National Euchartistic Revival Congress this week, but I'm have been praying for it and will be there in spirit! Thank you for sharing your story! Like I said, it had a lot of similarities to my own. God is truly AMAZING!!!!! To take someone like me, a Saul, to a certain degree, and at the right time, the right place, with the right people, all of which was Devinely orchestrated by The Almighty Himself, and turn us in to Paul, well, I don't no of any miracles in my life any more powerful!!!!! You are an amazing priest, Fr. Frankie! We are blessed to know, even if it's just through your videos! They make a difference! God bless!!!!! 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏

    I missed this sermon 2 weeks ago, because I attended a different mass. What Fr Frankie spoke of, belief that the bread and wine is TRULY the body and blood of Jesus is what has recently changed my life! I’ve live my 70 years of life believing that the consecration was just a symbolic act. Fr Frankie and Jesus changed my thinking and now I BELIEVE! My whole life has been changed! I now want to constantly sing of the Goodness of God.
    Thank you God and his servant Fr Frankie.

    Thank you Fr for your heartfelt testimony. You remind me of myself, when I also went through that experience. The first time I went to confession after 20+ years, it was like a boulder had been lifted from my heart and I felt the bright light of God’s love and his mercy. It’s still a journey and struggle to live a faithful life, but I know with the grace of confession, we have the Lord’s mercy.

    I was totally consumed by Father Frankie and this homily.The young man sitting on the fence watching while Jesus and the devil seperated the goats and the sheep truly emphasized the meaning of the whole story. That is when the devil says to to the young man" Come on , lets go. you're mine." That sitting on the fence is actually a decision in itself. It prompts us to make that decision to go with Jesus. I have never heard it described in this manner before and I am totally enarmoured by it. I will watch many more of Father Frankie Cicero homilies and stories.
