We definitely need more priests like him! But, do You mean if it wasn’t for Fr. Meeks, you would leave the ONLY Church Jesus Christ established? Do you also mean that if it wasn’t for Fr. Meeks you would leave the Eucharist, the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ?
Hi Tim, sometimes I feel like you do. Sometimes I feel so down. But Jesus gave us the church. Just search out priest like Father Meeks and learn from them, join Father Mike Schmitz bible study, and then you become stronger to pass on the Faith. Don’t give up just because the church is in a rough patch, grow stronger in your faith. The church is guided by the Holy Spirit, and will always continue Jesus return. I will be praying for you Tim.
Hang in there Tim!! Remember the Eucharist!!! Jesus is always there for you in the Eucharist and the Church is the place where we receive the Eucharist- where we can intimately receive the Lord!! That is the link that will always keep me (gratefully!) close to the Church He gave us!!!
Never be tempted to leave the holy body , blood , soul & divinity of the Holy Eucharist nor any holy sacraments such as Holy Confession or the anointing of the sick or extreme unction..etc. No man on earth is worth leaving the treasures we have in the Catholic Church. May we instead of complaining or lamenting , all pray for , have masses said for and make sacrifices for the shepherds ( priests) who need us 🌹🕊Viva Christo Rey 👑✝️
I know a lot of lost sheep..... the problem is that they do not want to hear the truth. I am surrounded by such people. It is sad to know that they are lost sheep including my own children. God help them with Jesus Christ to bring them to the light and the truth. I have tried to awake them with the truth by they just do not listen or understand it.
@@buddybrown8607 Do have children? Are any of your blood relatives (parents, siblings) anyone you care about still alive? Would you care enough about them to protect from harm, injury or death? I do. As with many caring people/family members, wanting the best for those they love is somewhat a priority. I pray you have people around you who care deeply for your health and well-being. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, Father Meeks is a God send. Every time I listen to one of his homilies I always end up feeling better and closer to Jesus. May God bless him, his ministry and his family.
Thank you Father Meeks for your homily today. Sadly, the homily at the Mass I attended today was not informative or useful. I count on you homily each week to bring a helpful message that is thought provoking and useful in my life🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊🙏🏻🙏🏻
You remain steadfast in your calling. You weathered the storms that buffeted you on your journey to this end. And because He knows we need the gifts we receive through you, your perseverance has been 10 fold a blessing to those who’s shepherds are sleeping. Your story is our story. To whom else shall we go Lord? Seek and ye shall find. Though this platform has many deviancies it has also the light of the world. For darkness cannot overcome the light. Praise God for His mercy and kindness through His gift of you to His people Of whom he knows by name. Prayers for you and those who have wandered from the protection of His Holy Church.
Please don’t turn off the comments (see sept 18). I want and I need to say thank you to Fr. Meeks and those record and put on CZcams. Fr Meeks is a Superb preacher. Thanks again.
I am holding back tears for this homily touched me very deeply. Yes, I do know many who have wandered away from the Vhurch, who don't know God and aren't particularly interested in knowing Him. I will try to overcome my reticence to reach out to them and give them this simple message. Thank you Father Meeks.
I wish every priest delivers great homily like you Fr. The way you connect the homily is simply amazing. Every Sunday I look forward to tuning in to listen to you. Thank God for what he is doing in your life. God bless
You kept mentioning grace. Grace from God. Am I to take it you are a Tradionalist Catholic? The reason I ask is because you did not propose change comes from pleasure or pain alone. I was quickly browsing of hedonism on the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy earlier today. It dawned on me when I read its separate sections on psycological hedonism and ethical hedonism that this philosophy has taken over much of the world and Catholicism. Conservative Catholics would fall under psychological hedonism, subscribing to the secular dictum about causing force of change in drug addicts, "An addict must hit rock bottom first." And liberal Catholics subscribe to ethical hedonism when justifying homosexuality, "whatever gives you pleasure and makes you happy." Observational science is different, though pleasure and pain might be motivators, if one observes mass homelessness on the streets of Skid Row Los Angeles and numerous opioid addicts on their 2nd or 3rd overdose requiring paramedics, then the hypothesis of "rock bottom" (pain) may be rejected. But you introduced a hypothesis of grace from God. Albeit, grace from God must be cooperated with.
These comments were from the homily of September 11th. Now the comments for the homily of September 18th have been turned off and I blame some of the ridiculous comments from this post.
Why are we skipping the gospel about the prodigal son? We've taken one of the most important parables in the gospel and made it optional to read??? A spiritual twilight zone if I have ever seen one.
Father Meeks your homilies reach far beyond the walls of your church🙏💙Thank You and God Bless You.
Watching from Western Australia
I am learning heaps from Fr Meeks.
🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
It's The Church belongs to God.
Another great homily. You are such a blessing. Thank you Fr Meeks.
Another great homily! Father Meeks we need more shepherds like you! God bless you! 🙏
Fr. Meeks is the only thing that keeps me from completely leaving the Church. We need more of him.
We definitely need more priests like him! But, do You mean if it wasn’t for Fr. Meeks, you would leave the ONLY Church Jesus Christ established? Do you also mean that if it wasn’t for Fr. Meeks you would leave the Eucharist, the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

@@tony1685 Uh, there most certainly is. And it's the Holy Eucharist. Jesus'.own Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Respect it.
Never be tempted to leave the holy body , blood , soul & divinity of the Holy Eucharist nor any holy sacraments such as Holy Confession or the anointing of the sick or extreme unction..etc. No man on earth is worth leaving the treasures we have in the Catholic Church.
May we instead of complaining or lamenting , all pray for , have masses said for and make sacrifices for the shepherds ( priests) who need us

Pray everyday for them. ALL prayers are heard.

That's where prayer comes in 🙏❤️
Pray rosaries for them, go to the Blessed Sacrament for them.... They'll convert, in God's own time ❤️
Keep trying! Never give up!! 🙏

So sad during the virus nonsense, many many parishes had no real Shepard.
Just Sheep in Shepards clothing.
Nice costume! Do you really believe all that you think you are?
