Dr Brant Pitre is one of the best Theologians of our time.
Yes. He and Scott Hahn :-)
He really is! Thanks be to God. I'm from Denmark and I don't always undertand everything that Scott Hahn says, because he uses some hard words. But I always feel like I understand what Dr. Pitre is saying. So that's why he is my go to. I have really learned so much from him.
@@adriansantos4253 And John Bergsma ; )
My absolute favorite speaker / teacher of the faith!
Wish I could get his media translated into Spanish so I could share with my Spanish-speaking family!!!
Finally, Dr. Pitre comes on the show. I was starting to think Dr. Pitre was not well known for some reason. He's my online teacher for much of what I'm being revealed these days. One day, I hope to be a priest and my little brother is starting to say the same. Hopefully, my middle brother and only younger sister too open themselves to the priesthood and life of the nuns. GOD bless you all!
🙏🏻 for you and your siblings
Salvador,
I will pray for your vocation and the vocations of all your siblings. Dr. Pitre's books have had such a strong influence on my vocation as well. Thank you for answering the Lord's call to discern.
Please pray for all of us, Franciscan Brothers of Peace in Minnesota.
God Bless You and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Scott Hahn and Brant Pitre - Two of the greatest theologians of our time!
Don't forget Dr John Bergsma.
Americans are so fortunate to have these great men in their midst 🙏🏽✝️💚
add Dr John Bergsma & Dr Ralph Martin
Dr. Pitre has taught me so much. I never miss his weekly explanations of the mass readings at Catholic Productions. He needs more exposure. His books are excellent.
We love Dr. Pitre! He is truly a gift for us Catholics.
I love that Dr. Pitre is so about the business of doing God's work, that he doesn't even know the name of his CZcams channel! It's like he's driving the train, and we're welcome to hop on or off, but he doesn't have time for self promotion; there are more important things to be done. I'm just thankful to hop on board and take the journey with him!
And the Jewish audience also love the work that you're both doing
A great interview, Matt!! I just ordered 2 of Dr Pitre’s new book! I give him a major credit for my conversion last year to Catholicism as I have read many of his books! He is such an inspiration, both in person and in his books.
Amen Brother!!
Me too!
I love listening to Dr Pitre..he is so humble and genuinely enjoys his work. I have learned so much will definitely get this book.
Brant Pitre is the MAN! What a genius. So well spoken. Thank you for this great conversation, Matt.
Best interview ever, Matt. I could listen to Dr. Pitre all day!
Dr. Pitre is 11/10. I love his efforts to present the true and beautiful faith! Great podcast 🙏🏻👍
I'm halfway through the book, and like any book that Pitre wrote, it is so clear, profound, and fresh you can actually say: "Why haven't I seen that before?" The portion on "Examination of Heart" is particularly helpful. I'll surely use that for examination of conscience. Thank you Dr. Pitre. You're such a blessing to the Church!
I feel like interchanging 'Pitre' with 'Padre' or 'Priest'. What an inspiration!
Matt you have a gift of drawing out what is unseen and making it visible, may God continue to bless you. Dr. Pitre thank you.
Matt, please never undervalue what you do with Pints with Aquinas. Don’t know where I’d be without listening to these types of conversations. Thanks
Yes! Dr Pitre was my professor at grad school in New Orleans
He's amazing!
"Jewish roots of the Eucharist" is 🔥🔥🔥
Glad to see Dr Pitre in the show! He is amazingly brilliant and love his books.
I love Dr Pitre so much, he has opened my eyes to so many beautiful things in the Catholic faith and the roots these traditions/teachings come from. Thank you! This is a fantastic interview, I can’t wait to get the book.
Dr. Pitre is so thorough. Love it. I can listen to you teach for hours. Thank you for the love you have for our Lord. We are so blessed by your work. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏼
There are so many wonderful things I could say about Dr. Brant Pitre.
He has been a gift to the Church, and to all who hear his teaching.
I really enjoy his teaching on early Christianity...he makes it come alive for me.
He has changed my life 😊Best books so easy to understand and learn! Love. Love Love God Bless Dr Pitre
Thank you for having my favorite teacher on! For Christmas last year I requested a boombox so I could listen to Dr. Pitre’s college classes. I will own everything he has done eventually. This class in particular had me buying Tanquerey, Garrigou-Lagrange, and other great writers. Dr. Pitre helped me to love my Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church and use them daily for spiritual development. Thank You Dr Pitre! God Bless You! 🙏⚔️❤️
At the beginning of the Carmelite Third Order as a Postulant we were encouraged to start mental prayer at 30 min. By the end of our first year, entering as a Novice we could be at 1 hr.
Connie Rossini a former Carmelite tertiary has a nifty Facebook group called " Authentic Contemplative Prayer" you probably already know about Carmelite Conversations. Bless you
Thank you so much Matt for inviting Dr. Pitre to your show..!
Hope to Bishop Barron some day in your studio.
Thank you for this insight on Catholic prayer life. 🙏🏽
Hmmm pray this prayer of Mother Cabrini : Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen me with Your Holy Spirit and give me Your peace, that I may be free from undue anxiety and worry. I desire all that You want of me so that Your Will will be mine.
Free me from all that is unholy and for love of You, I may remain unnoticed and unknown to others except to You.
Do not let me take credit for the good You do to me and through me but to always give You the honor.
May I admit my wrong doings and give up chasing worldly things and look forward to Your true and lasting glory." Amen.
I love Brant Pitre's books, it helped me during my second conversion from 2019-2020. I believe that the Eucharist is truly Jesus's body through his book and his talks 🙏🙏🙏 Mau Jesus bless him and his family, and Mother Mary keep guiding him and the famz.
I also learned The Jesus Prayer from this channel. Same prayer for Matt and the Fam.
Thank you all for your good works 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Matt and Dr Pitre. I needed to see this. Pray an hour daily. Im currently in the stage of praying the full rosary daily,
Oh boy, so glad to be introduced to this teacher. ❤️
You should check out some of his books, especially Jesus and the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told and Introduction to the Spiritual Life. He also has a CZcams channel called Catholic Productions which has a lot of really good videos.
This Christmas everyone received something that Dr. Petri wrote. Love his writings and his weekly podcasts on the Mass. Can't wait to read this new book.
So thankful for Dr. Pitre and this book as well as certain Dominican friars who know a lot about the Byzantine Rite. I was contemplating switching to the Byzantine Rite predominantly due to the spirituality, but as he says at 43:07, the Eastern and Western Fathers are saying the same things.
Finally! Yay. Love Dr. Pitre’s books and Sunday Mass Readings, His videos. He’s an Awesome Teacher. I have most of his books and his brand new one so I’m happy to hear this video. Thank you Dr. Pitre. Would love to have you visit my Parish one day. 🙏🏼❤️
Very proud boys thanks for the sharing keep going every day to do the good work of the Lord and his Holy Church through the working of the Holy Spirit 🙏 Amen 👏
As an Anglican, we have the Daily Office which is praying 4 times a day as well as reading lots of Scripture. I’ve been an Anglican for the past 7 years (coming from an evangelical tradition). The Daily Office has revolutionized my Christian life and most certainly my prayer life!
I love Brant Pitre's work. I just finished reading Matthew Milliner's(great guest for Pint's) everlasting people which connects the writings of G.K. Chesterton with the indigenous peoples of north America and it reminded a lot how Brant uses the types and shadows of the Tanakh and Jewish traditions in its foreshadowing in the coming of Jesus and the church.
Just restarted daily hours with 1964 Collegevile--and Pitre is spot on with dialy
This conversation has been so helpful. I struggle with paying attention. My mind wanders and it disappoints me. I feel less-than as a Catholic because the rosary can be so challenging. St. Thomas’ comments are comforting. Thank you!
Fr. Chris Alar said when our minds wonder, it reveals what our preoccupations are and we have to give those thoughts to Jesus.
Check his video on prayer
I enjoyed this a lot. One small administrative criticism: the disparity between the volume levels of host vs. guest made listening a little difficult. Turning the volume up enough to hear Dr. Pitre well made Matt's volume too loud for comfortable listening.
I said the exact thing when he had William Albrecht on.
On my phone it’s not noticeable but when I was listening to some of the talk in my car it was very obvious. Awesome interview!!
@@EugeniaB82 same here. It was when I was in my car, it was a stark contrast.
Dr. Brant, love all your content out there. The revolving door between mortal sin and a state of grace definitely resonated with me. God bless you and thank you for all that you do.
What an AWESOME, practical, interview. LOVED it. Thanks Matt and Brand 👏
Brant Pitre is cool
Please invite him more often. I think he's the smartest living theologian I've ever heard.
I really appreciate this interview. It (and Dr. Pitre's book) came out exactly at the time when I was moved by God to improve my spirituality and go all in when it comes to the mystical life. Thank you, Matt and Dr. Pitre!
Almost finished with his newest book! Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, love his work!
Dr. Brant Pitte, you are God’s blessing to us!
Two of my fave people 🤩🤩🤩 God bless both of your work.
Absolutely amazing talk thank you both. I've read 'Jesus and the Jewish roots of the Eucharist' and it is fabulous! Dr. Pitre is always informative, fluid and you can sense the excitement in his discovery & passing on of a tremendous body of work in his books. A firm favourite...
I think I'll invest in Dr. John's and Dr. Pitre's biblical commentary too. Maybe start the 'Bible in a year' again in the new year with Fr. Mike which was really cool.
Also, thanks so much for the wise words at the end too....I really appreciate the integrity of those words. I often get quite upset reading really nasty stuff on our Pope online. I know he's not perfect, but if he is erring at all to me it's on being 'too forgiving & understanding' which is the best way to err. As the good Dr. says, and Jesus too in Scripture in His own wise way I guess cleaning up my own house is the best place to start changing the world.
God Bless both of you & many thanks!
I've read his book The Jewish root of Mary and I can only tell that my mind was blown! (as a (still) Protestant)
@@sotem3608 Yes, the new Eve, and Ark of the Covenant etc. I haven't read that one, but I've read some of the Fathers and listened to various talks...including Dr. Pitre's. Also, if you really like these books that make you go....
'Woohoo...now I see it!' and bring the old and new testaments into synchronicity in a mind blowing way, I'd also recommend Dr.Scott Hahn 👍.
I love Brant Pitre's work. I just finished reading Matthew Milliner's(great guest for Pint's) everlasting people which connects the writings of G.K. Chesterton with the indigenous peoples of north America and it reminded a lot how Brant uses the types and shadows of the Tanakh and Jewish traditions in its foreshadowing in the coming of Jesus and the church.
@@loveandmercy9664 Sounds interesting. I love Chesterton ( The apostle of common sense ). I remember reading 'Everlasting man' & 'Orthodoxy' and I found myself stopping at various places throughout and just thinking how refreshingly original and....well full of common sense! Amazing...I've also listened to some 'Father Brown' audio books too during Covid lockdown.
There were some silver linings to lockdowns I guess ;)
Ty for the recommendation!
Beautiful! Dude, ye hath bloweth my mind again and again.
Thank you for this Matt. Brant is an absolute treasure.
Love his work. Brilliant biblical scholar.
Been waiting so long for these two to meet and talk!! Kinda wish it was face to face though.
What an A M A Z I N G interview !
In the True Life in God messages that Jesus has been giving to a Greek Lady since 1985, this is what Jesus says about the unceasing prayer, “unceasing prayer is to feel my presence all day, it is to desire Me all day”. I love it. It’s a first hand information coming from Jesus Himself.
What I would like to say about this book is that, it taught me everything I need to know about the spiritual life. I have not been able to internalize everything yet bc although Jesus talks in a simple way but it’s also quite complex or rather deep, and it takes a lot of meditation and some scripture reading to be able to absorb it better, and yet every time you read it you see things in a different way, you see something more, you go deeper.
Okay, I’m halfway through the video and I’ll continue watching.
Awesome! Thank you so much both of you! I am looking forward to read the book.
Excellent program. I truly enjoyed this discussion.
What a great interview. New subscriber here.
Excellent interview, Matt. Thanks so much! (Here's one for sure will be getting that book.) Another interview you should also consider is one with Irish Vincentian and exorcist Fr Pat Collins (no relation), whose book Prayer in Practice appeared last year. He's an excellent, engaging speaker. God bless your ministry.
Brant is top notch. Matt please bring Brant back.
Love this guy! I have his book❤
Pilgrims Progress, l remember hearing this as a child it I was fascinated ,it brought in to mind when you mentioned a road 🤗 and I am now 87 .😊
💚 ✝️ 💚 ✝️ 💚
I dont have habit of reading books... But Dr Brant Pitre's delivers his talks in a way that we will not get bored while hearing it even if it is more than 1 hour. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Thank you for the “ Enlightenment”.
God bless you, Dr. Brant.
So awesome about your ancestors 👏 I'm in New brunswick my ancestors are Acadian
Cool bro! I live in Alberta but I am from Ontario but my ancestors are German Catholics from southwestern Ontario and Metis Catholic from Alberta on my Mom's. I just finished reading Matthew Milliner's everlasting people which explorers the writings of G.K. chesterton and the First Nations. Canada has a really interesting history when it comes to the church. The Huron carol.
I love Dr. Brant Pitre
Thank You. 🌹🌌
So awesome the best kept secrets of the Church are getting out. 🙌 Please interview Connie Rossini too!
Fabulous to see you together!!!!
Wow, he’s fantastic!
There are only two people in the world that I wanted to meet in person. Pope Benedict XVI and Dr Brant Pitre!
Great conversation. Not to steal this guy's thunder, but The Ways of Mental Prayer by Lehodey is a great book on the logistics of how to pray and it helped me a lot.
Would love Dr. Pitre to do a Bible in a Year series teaching us from each book of the Bible. I do have his book ‘A Catholic Introduction to the Bible The Old Testament’ and it’s huge. It’s an amazing Book. But him teaching it would be beyond a number one Podcast or CZcams Video.
Is that the book he wrote with Dr. Bergsma? I thought about getting that book but there's so many I want to get that it becomes overwhelming as to which one to buy.
@@brucebarber4104 What an amazing book!
@@cleberferreiradejoao1306, thank you. Perhaps I'll make it a late Christmas present to myself. :)
With The Word "hold every thought captive"🍃
I can't wait to read this latest book from Dr Pitre!
Brant pitre is the greatest
Yeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!
Wow I forgot I pre-ordered his book!
I have a special regard for st Alphonsus di Liguori as far as spiritual life is concerned. He taught me almost everything.
NOVA SCOTIA .... Yeah boi ! That canuck heritage is good on ya LOL ... Matty, liked and shared on FB ... Thank You for having Dr Pitre on ! 💝 Thank You Mrs Pitre !
Love him!
Thank you 😊
Excellent!
I liked this before even watching it , I know I'm not the only one .
Thanks guys
Dr. Pitre has been one of my go-to people when it comes to Scripture. Okay, nuts and bolts time....in the context of an hour of meditation (no I am not there yet)what would that look like? For example, say you have the Gospel for the day, but can't seem to resonate with it, I would pull out some commentaries with the hope that those would stir up something for which to talk to Jesus about, that takes time. Or it could involve writing down any insights I might have....which takes times......or just sitting with nothing in mind at all....as I say to the Lord just resting in Him.....etc. I like to sit before a window, I start watching the birds and the squirrels....is that considered meditation time.....know what I mean?
Thank you so much Matt for your great work with this channel!
Loved it... Thanks Matt and Brant!
This has helped me so much!
🙏🏻🕊🔥Thank you, just beautiful🔥🕊🙏🏻
I love his talks I’m very grateful for Brett Petrie my issue is when going to adoration I am very dyslexic and my church is very dark so sometimes I just sit there sometimes I imagine taking the Eucharist or try and remember the times that the Saints used the monstrance to ward off evil and protect their monasteries or convince but reading is not my best suit so I feel a little bit lost I’ve been doing the Bibles online using Brett Petrie and also a Bible in a year with Father Mike Schmitz or even just short little CZcams videos talking about the commentary of the day but using Bible verses to explain what we are doing wrong in our lives and society
Sometimes I go into Church and listen to sacred music (with earphones) I've found on CZcams. You could listen to the Word in Church that way as well. God Bless.
Just bought my book on Kindle - can't wait to read it, perfect Advent reading! Thank you Dr Pitre, I love the way you teach!
Likewise, thank God for Dr. Pitre!
That was an awesome conversation! Glad I’m subscribed to this channel! Matt asked great questions, and Dr. Pitre answers were fantastic. Looking forward to get that book. God bless you both!!!
#Pray25 is amazing
Grace from God
He puts words to how most Christians I know live. Not found this in the modern eastern churches. I go to an evangelical charismatic church and living in presence is the focus. Pray without ceasing means you have to let go of a lot of this world.
I like that he mentions that we each have a personal relationship with God. I'm reading the book, "God loves the Autistic Mind" by Fr. Matthew Schneider. The book explains that concept well and I highly recommend it to all my fellow neurodivergents and to those who love us.
Got my audible and e-book copy!
true salt Aussie, love you for that
I don't know what that means but thank you :)
