I have a son who constantly gives me beeswax candles. He often buys them while on retreats to monasteries. He is on retreat now and sent me a picture of more candles for me. What an amazing coincidence.
What a loving son.🙏❤️
Maybe it would be a good idea to share them with friends and family? I think we are supposed to have faith that one blessed candle will last the entire 3 days.
@@blujeans9462 one of the sears I can’t remember which one literally said that one BLESSED beeswax candle will be enough for three days.
Get them blessed
Please read my post about the 3 days of darkness today. ❤
We’ve been in 3 YEARS of darkness. Praying for the great unveiling and illumination of conscience soon. God bless.
So true!
@@Roman-Labradoryou are listening to Fr Mark. There is light. It’s Jesus. He is our hope and I pray, our eternity. Please do not give up. Thank him. Praise him.
Amen so true 🤔
Sorry for your pain. Prayers sent for you. @@Roman-Labrador
Decades? Or more correctly, score?
While visiting a friend in Florida (also on a personal mini retreat for Monicas HOPE Ministry), I broke my wrist. When the doctor began the process of setting the break, I broke into tears, but not because of the pain. All I could think of was how much our Lord's suffered for us. This little bit of pain that I was going through was nothing compared to what He CHOSE to suffer for EACH and EVERY broken, sinful, fallen creatures that He created and loves💗
Beautiful ❤🙏🙏🙏
Wow❤
Great insight.
Imagine putting your faith in the demonic-erotica-writer Cardinal Fernandez...instead putting your Faith in over 2,000 years of Catholic Tradition, Scripture & a good Holy Pope John Paul 2.
Pope John Paul 2 made it very clear that you can't call ss couples "couples", because there is no future in those relationships due to lack of procreation since it's unnatural and disordered.
Read Genesis 19 for what God does to ss couples. The FS ss couple doc has a Marxist dialectic, the traditional thesis in the beginning & the antithesis in the end (FS paragraph 31). This is the Marxist deceptive tactic of a dialectic w ambiguity.

I went to the church near me on Candlemas Day and although there was a mass, the priest did not bless any beeswax candles. There were some church provided candles placed at the back of the church, which the priest blessed, but that was it. And when I asked about seeing a priest to bless the beeswax candles that I had brought, as well as matches, etc., I was told to come back another time. I was given some times that were available, but I couldn’t make.
Amen ❤️ Even a small beeswax candle 🕯️ will stay lit for the 3 Days of Darkness. Our Guardian Angels will help us light the candle, if we need help to light it.
I made 2 large beeswax candles and took them to be blessed along with a long-necked lighter. The priest declined to bless the lighter, saying it would be like blessing a sofa or something similar [it seemed like the practical thing to do at the time 🙂]. So I am trusting that the candles will be lit when the time comes.
Beautiful message Abby. ♥️ Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us. 😇🙏🏼
Please read my comment. God bless.

Wooden matches...
✝️❤ Ok folks, I don't ever request anything from this channel, but I'm going to tonight, and this request goes out to you too Father Mark.
I was flipping through CZcams today and for some reason this kid (anyone under 40 is a kid to me), anyway, this kid with a CZcams channel just pops up for no reason. He has advanced stage 4 bowel cancer, and is dying. He was in tears as he admitted this to his channel, and that he has only a couple of months to live. It has spread to his liver and is inoperable.
However, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH OUR GREAT GOD, so I'm going to ask you all, each and every one of you to pray hard for this kid and let's see if we can start his new year off with a genuine charismatic miracle healing.
His name is Ollie, and I believe that with enough fervent and focused prayer, the Lord might heal the kid, and if not, at least save his soul.
I myself have no interest in airsoft, and don't know why I was shown this kid, except the Holy Spirit works that way with me sometimes. That little voice says "pay attention, you have to help this one," and maybe He is going to put the channel to a big test. The question here is:
Do we have enough faith between us to heal him, and How many of us will follow through like Jesus asks us to and pray for one another and Ollie?
I truly believe it is possible, and I know that God put this kid in front of me for a reason and will be watching what each of us does. ⭐️Thank you for reading this.
❤ God bless you all, and God bless Ollie. ✝️
I bought my Beeswax candle after reading the book The Three Days of Darkness. After that I had an illumination of consciousness and repented. I stoped drinking and running around and doing things I had no business doing. I discovered the word Metanoia and became obsessed with it. I have forgiven all those who hurt me and there have been many! I’m still on my journey of forgiveness and repentance and encourage others, sometimes they reject me but I keep praying for them. Thank you for the reminder of the number 3… it has repeatedly shown itself and shouldn’t be ignored. Thank you Father Goring … I’m fun lol
You're "fun"? Not sure what you mean by that. Otherwise, your conversion is remarkable and a great blessing! Thanks for sharing this. And which book are you referring to? Who wrote it?
@@claudiabettina Fr Mark jokingly said if we don't have a bees wax candle we're no fun.
@@claudiabettina I’m sorry I don’t remember which book I read but it was The three days of darkness by some woman. I don’t have it anymore. I think I gave it to someone and the funny “was about the candle. He mentioned “ if you don’t have a beeswax candle you’re no fun”

Dear Father in Heaven illuminate our conscience today. Amen.
Amen a daily prayer!
@@jd3jefferson556 Just popped into my imagination. Sounded good. I am sure illuminate our conscience is a fairly standard phrase however.
@@kwkw5711 o ok. Cool, as long as it's not related to Garabandal, sounds ok to me.
@@jd3jefferson556 I looked up what your concern was as I had never come across mention of that prophecy and I found the detail below. What will happen at end times is beyond my humble self. However I do know we should be asking like King David to be searched and tried and to have the Holy Spirit reveal our faults on a daily basis. This is what I was thinking with this prayer..
There is an alleged apparition of Our Lady at Garabandal that talks about The Great Warning and Illumination of Conscience at the end of time. According to the Marian apparition, the Great Warning is the illumination of conscience that comes shortly before the end times and everyone will personally experience an awareness of their own sinfulness. The person will be alone before God and that will be a kind of “wake-up call” to each human being. While this may sound intimidating, we should all be living our lives with a knowledge of our sinfulness and a constant effort to remedy our faults.
@@kwkw5711on
I have had beeswax candles on hand all my life. My Grandmother was a medicine woman and would burn no other type of candle. Amazing how she had so many connections to Jesus in her own life and ways. She loved Jesus and made sure we, her grandchildren, did too. I am old and I miss her still.
I believe you will see her again in Paradise.
Bless you FR Mark,and Bless the Sick.
I was told from the medical community that I would never be a useful member of society, had a conversion stopped taking all medications and have been working at the same company for 5 years, conversion happened in 2018
God can do anything :)
I was looking for 100% pure Bees Wax Candles on the internet when this notification of Father Mark Goring’s Homily popped up 3 days of darkness and Bees Wax candles
Sounds like a scam to me.

Before the 3 Days of Darkness we have to experience the Great Warning and Miracle
What are those, please?
That’s what I believe too. I think the 3 days of darkness are much later.
❤ "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

❤ It is believed that those who follow the practices with faith and adhere to the guidelines will be divinely protected during the period of 3 days of darkness. See my other post today for instructions. God Bless Us All and our families as well. ❤✝️
As ambassadors for Christ we would like to share with all of you the gospel of our salvation in the dispensation of God's grace. “Grace can be defined as the undeserved favor of God for people who deserve His condemnation.”
Salvation is NOT giving the Lord anything, it's not giving but it's receiving. There's only one way to be saved, not two or three but one! Salvation is a gift and you're saved by receiving that gift by faith and not giving him anything. Not giving him your heart, many people also think that you can say the sinner's prayer to be saved but that's also wrong.Many people are disagreed with God's Word which clearly says - Ephesians 1:13 - King James Version - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Trust God's Word and don't rely on giving the Lord your heart or praying the sinner's prayer! You hear the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation and you place your trust in Jesus Christ and his finished crosswork by believing it. Any other way, any so-called way of salvation is counterfeit.So you don't ask Jesus into your heart to be saved, you don't give him your heart to be saved, you don't confess your sins to be saved, you don't ask for forgiveness to be saved, you don't turn from your sins to be saved, you don't recite a prayer, say a few our Fathers and some Hail Marys.
You can find the gospel of your salvation in the dispensation of God's grace in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4, by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved, baptized in the Body of Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version).
2 Corinthians 5:19 - King James Version - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Have a blessed day with insight, wisdom and discernment!
And as ambassadors for Christ, we would like to refer you to Truth Time Radio, also on youtube and facebook, they are very pleased to help you better understand your bible and better articulate your faith to others.
As I understand it, it’s got to be a blessed beeswax candle.
They need to be 100% Beeswax
@3172bees this is the comment I was looking for. To me, the candle being blessed is everything, and the beeswax thing seems almost like something frivolous or superstitious.
Fr. Mark is sly as a fox. He is preaching Three Days of Darknrss and warning to get your beeswax candle ready "Without preaching" about it. Way to go, Father. What a good Father!! !
Father Mark , beautiful priest you are. Young and so close to God. I pray God watches over you.❤ Amen
Never did I consider being prepper but look at the trajectory we are on. Things are so off the rails that it can only take Divine intervention for the course correction. Yeah I've got the blessed candles from Fr. Chris Alar. I've got back power, well stocked food supply, etc. We have car and house insurance just in case but once you pay those premiums you never get it back unless your house burns down but if food stores are not needed you can use them. Most Catholics I know are completely ignoring the dangers brewing and bless their hearts if the crap hits the fan I'll be able to help them with my food stores. The more the Catholic community prepares, the more we'll be able to help our brothers and sisters who didn't. Charity
I agree. I wish priests would add this to their homilies. We are blessed that the veil has been lifted from our eyes, but unfortunately many are ignoring what’s going on around them thinking nothing will ever happen to them. May God bless us all. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

Pure beeswax candles need to be more accessible and affordable. As do purple scapulars.
@@matthewjoseph9897
Marie Julie Jahenny, is NOT approved by the Church. We should stick with the scapulars that ARE approved.
As someone who has worked with beeswax before and made candles for a short time, it’s not that easy and affordable. Candle making is work. Buying the wax is expensive and if one is rendering their own wax from bee hives, it’s a lot of work! Cleaning wax is a tedious task. That said there are some religious orders that make candles for a living and sell them in bulk for a lesser price. That’s where I get my candles now that I don’t make them anymore.
@matthewjoseph9897
Nonsense.
It needs to be pure unadulterated wax made only by bees, and the scapular needs to be the exact shade of purple - otherwise, nothing can save us.
@@marytierney794 approved or not, is ok to own beeswax candles and even get them blessed. Worst case you can use them when China hacks our antique power grid
@@AA-gu4mw understood. My concern is that a lot of the items that we have been told that we will need for the Three Days from a practical standpoint are only accessible to the more privileged. I have found that some local candle merchants are perpetually out of stock of their Three Days candles.
Lest we forget the food and toilet paper shortages during the pandemic lockdown thanks to panic buying.

Can I have one?
@@efrenhern1536😂
They must be blessed by a priest or bishop to work during the 3 days of darkness. Read my post today please.
Father, The Lord has given me illumination of conscience about 6 years ago. It is bittersweet because although it is good to see things and ourselves how they are, it is a lot to take in - in our state of mere humanity. It’s also a lonely state because you see things completely different from others around you. But, in this suffering of knowing, we can share in the sufferings of Christ.
I’ve had in the last year or so many small illuminations of conscience but not the real Warning that everyone in the world will experience at the same time. It nevertheless prepares me for the real one, at least a good bit. I find myself remembering many sins, even in my very distant past, many of which I had forgotten about, even some as a tiny child, losing my temper with my siblings etc. Obviously my sins once I grew up became more serious but at least I can show repentance to God before it’s too late. I consider these “tasters” of the Real Warning to be a gift from God, with Him softening the blow so to speak, when it comes the time for the real one.
Regarding the ‘suffering of knowing’ that you mentioned, I feel the same. I do see things differently from most people but though it can be lonely and sometimes feels like a curse/burden to bear, I try to look on it as a blessing instead, and think of it as my particular Cross to bear, which is a privilege, considering that God told us we must take up our own Cross just as Jesus did. 🙏🏻
@@katperson7332 Amen🙏🏼
@@katperson7332same thing happened to me prayed the 15 decade rosary followed by the our lady of sorrows for nine days I recalled sins from 15 years ago I forgot about. It was horrible to recall and felt deep remorse but I’ve returned to confession and mass. It was a deeper conversion back!
I'm from Philippines and we are waiting for the Illumination of Conscience.
Also I tried to have wax candles in preparation for the 3 days of darkness. May God strengthen and miracles would happen on me. Everyday Am suffering for the multiple pain in my joints and nerves due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. I ask for prayers from all of you brothers and sisters. May God grants my prayers.

I read about the three days of darkness in the 70’s. I try to save all the beeswax candles for when this time will come, I keep Holy Water and crucifix and rosaries and other holy things along with the candles in a safe place for when or if I ever need them. It is my security blanket.

Disconnecting from tech for lent 💜
I can maybe do the 3 days that he suggested…I would love to be able to do it for entire Lent. I realize there is so much poison and fear on the internet (both truth and false info), but stress is the poison that hurts the mind and body, because why have knowledge of things we have no control over? I would miss my “holy” podcasts such as this too. Maybe I could limit myself to holy videos and chants.
I did take up Fr Mark’s Three-Day original freedom from technology, and all I can say, is, wow! Easiest way to start- because it won’t be easy-is to start at the Holy Hour of 3:00 on a Sunday afternoon. And to go on into the evening of Sunday-it’s getting easier-Monday comes, and pretty soon you really don’t miss it all. Do give any family members a heads-up who might call not to become alarmed if you don’t answer their calls, texts, etc. May the Holy Spirit be with you.
I would have to cut out all the religious stuff on you tube, some news and taking phone calls. Why would anyone want to give it up? They would just go to TV to make up the time.
@christiandpaul2022 I may just stick to holy content and shut out everything else. Not checking phone so much etc
@@christiandpaul2022 Yes, that includes TV! Let it all go, open your grip on your addiction. “Religious stuff”, and news will all still be there, none of it is worth anything anyway in the scheme of things . Fr Mark will forgive you, and probably would encourage and bless you!
It’s a BLESSED beeswax candle, kind of an important point
This is the comment I was looking for. To me, the candle being blessed is everything, and the beeswax thing seems almost like something frivolous or superstitious.
While I really like your sermons I do not believe in the three days of darkness
I’ve been hearing about this since 1980s
These are private revelations
And as you know, they do not need to be accepted
They could be true, or they may not be true
I stand by the word of God and the words of Christ
This revelation, borders on superstition
This is one and things that Luther rebel against in the medieval church
Faith, in Jesus obedience to God‘s laws and acceptance of his unconditional love and mercy is what we need and believe
Well, I use beeswax candles at my parish, because only the best should be used for our liturgical functions
Keep up the great work, Mark
God is giving you a great gift
I will continue to pray for your words and your ministry
Such an adorable spirit. What a sweet heart of a being.
3 Hail Marys for your intentions, Father 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻 ¡Viva Cristo Rey! ✝️
I pray more priests will be sharing similar homilies with their followers...GOD bless you abundantly, Fr. Mark! 🙏 Be brave & lead your people, as the apostles did!!
Father, forgive me for saying this but, you’re wondering off the mark! Yes, Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. The specific details regarding a warning sign before his return vary among theologians. While there are passages in scripture that describe signs preceding his return ( Matthew 24:29-31), the specific nature of a warning sign before his return is a matter of interpretation. While even approved apparitions offer additional insights, none are binding on Catholics. All the Church guarantees about them is that there is nothing in them that is contrary to Church teaching. The Church's focus remains on the public revelation contained in Scripture and Tradition.
The “Three Days of Darkness”, etc., are not official doctrines of the Church. The faithful are under no obligation to pay them any mind. What a person needs to do is get right with Christ now, get right with God now. Pray, go to mass, partake in the sacraments, Eucharist, Confession, etc. Treat your fellow neighbour as you would yourself. If one is right with God, one has no need to be concerned about their salvation.
No one needs to stock blessed bees-waxed candles. I actually had someone ask me, “Are candles that are only 50% beeswax sufficient?” Really? Our salvation now depends on the percentage of beeswax found in a candle? This fearmongering has got to stop.
This notion of “Three Days of Darkness”, “Beeswax candles” and “houses of refuge” are all over the Internet and Catholic discussion. I have watched a series of three CZcams videos from a priest, Fr. Chris Alar and a Catholic prognosticator, Daniel O’Connor who are proponents of the Three Days of Darkness. Some concerns have arisen about some of the content in these videos.
While they fully acknowledge that Catholics are not obliged to ascent to the belief in the “three days of darkness”, they nevertheless, go on to promote such an event spreading fear and concern.
Fr. Alar even goes one better, he does an impromptu commercial for these “beeswax candles”. One of the things mentioned is the need to store only blessed beeswax candles during the Three Days of Darkness because they are the only things that will give light. In one video, Fr. Alar makes a pitch to sell some. He “guarantees” the candles have “at least 51% beeswax.
In one segment, Fr. Alar mentions that five things must happen before the Second Coming of Christ. One of them is, that the Jewish people will convert to Catholicism. This is a common teaching of the Church. This, in and of itself, should be a clue to Fr. Alar and to the rest of us, that Christ’s return is not imminent.
As for the Illumination of Conscience, the Warning and the Three Days of Darkness, you should not be spreading such prophecies the Church is not in agreement with, even though, the faithful are free to believe in private revelations that do not contradict Church teaching.
This all goes to show that when leaving the faithful to their own devices and “seeing there is nothing wrong with wanting to be prepared in every way.” things can go a tad off-kilter. The use of beeswax candles and seeking out houses of refuge during the supposed "three days of darkness" can be seen as bordering on the occult and superstition for several reasons:
Lack of Church Approval - Private revelations, including the concept of the "three days of darkness," are not considered part of the deposit of faith. The Catholic Church does not officially endorse or promote such events or practices.
Superstitious Beliefs - Superstition involves attributing magical or supernatural powers to certain objects or practices. Believing that beeswax candles or specific houses can protect individuals during the "three days of darkness" may be seen as superstition because it relies on the assumption that these objects possess special powers beyond their natural properties.
Diverting from Church Teachings - Catholic teaching places emphasis on faith in God, trust in His providence, and the importance of sacraments and prayer. Placing excessive focus on the use of specific objects or locations during a particular event can lead to a distortion of Catholic teachings and potentially distract individuals from the true essence of their faith.
Potential Misinterpretation - Private revelations can be misinterpreted or misunderstood, particularly when they are not supported by official Church guidance. Individuals may interpret the "three days of darkness" and associated practices in ways that deviate from authentic Catholic teachings, leading to confusion and potential spiritual harm.
It is essential for Catholics to seek guidance from their “orthodox” local priests, bishops, or other trusted sources within the Church when encountering private revelations or devotions that are not part of the official teachings. Listen to the Church! The Church provides a solid foundation of faith that should be the guiding light for believers, rather than relying on practices that may border on the occult or superstition.
Father Chris Alar in one of his lectures mentioned that there is precedent for the 3 days of darkness, it happened in Egypt some time in the past.
The end will come when the Jews are converted. The church is suffering now in this Pontificate and we must pray that the Jews convert then our mother’s immaculate heart will triumph!
I just gave my grandparents a blessed bees’ wax candle. My grandfather is about to pass and I thought it might give them comfort. He is spiritually prepared, but please pray for him and our family. We are faithful Catholics but some of our family have left the faith. We’re praying they come back. God bless you! 🙏🏼❤️
Invite the fallen away family over for rosary or Divine mercy with ordinary honor of the dying.
Grew up in fear of the three days of darkness. To the point of making sure to have curtains that cover the window. (If you've heard the story you will understand) My grandma handed this down to us. Now have some windows that don't have curtains. Still have my beeswax candles though, haha, just in case. Saint Padre pio said, "it is easier to live without the Sun than the Holy Eucharist." Learned how true that was during covid lockdowns. That is something to really fear.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
We are saving our blessed candles we receive on the blessing of the throats
Thank you Fr Mark
I love your homilies it awakens such reverence in me to pray even harder 👏🙏🏼 God bless you
God bless you Father Goring! You are awesome!
Thank you, Fr. Mark! My Church offers a blessing of candles on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Feb 2nd. I am going to get a beeswax candle 🕯 and bring it Church to be blessed at the Mass. 🕊❤️🔥Viva Cristo Rey!
AKA Candlemas
AMEN Yes ! In Croatia we call that day "Svijećnica" word -svijeća- mean candle and -svijećnica- mean Blessing of candle light and only that candle we using in familly prayers at home. We have rulle that candle allways must be Blessed by our priest before using.
@@antel704 that is beautiful and thank you ❤️
Remember, 100% beeswax candles and they MUST be BLESSED! I have made a number of these candles, myself, getting the beeswax and wicks from Hobby Lobby. Each was blessed by my pastor who I also gave a few to. Yes, they can be a conversation piece, but they will protect your household in the days ahead.
It is blessed beeswax candles are the only thing that will give illumination.
And they need to be 100% Beeswax
Everything you said makes perfect sense. I gave a blessed beeswax candle to all my siblings, Why Not!
Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray as never before - especially the Rosary (daily) for her intentions.
Yes Lord please let me see clearly!!! Confession helps. God shows me the way!
I was just talking to my daughter, the other day, asking if we had any blessed candles in the house, and she replied that somebody else was asking her the same thing at church. Must be the Holy Spirit.
Fr. Mark, please read up on the prophecies on the 3 Days of Darkness & help us prepare, especially on being in a state of grace & the needed blessed candle. Thank you for caring for your flock so well.
Fr. Goring, I'm going to take the 3 Day Disconnect Challenge. Thank you for this wonderful message. God bless you.
Let’s listen to Gods words on this …
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
Genesis 8:22
Please turn from superstition. God saves who He wills.. whether you have beeswax candles or not.
God bless you Fr. Mark❤
By the way this was a great sermon
I like your interpretation of 3 days of darkness
Yes i have a lot of beeswax. Candles!!Jesus has ALWAYS been in my heart, and HIS words reign in my life, ESPECIALLY these three years!! they have saved me. When I faced adversity at a job, I said...Jesus says Forgive Those that Trespass on you.. Say that at a secular work environment NO ONE has the answer!! I have three blessed candles so looking forward to these day's of darkness... Come Holy Spirit!!
My candles are ready, I just keep praying.
Fr. Mark is the best. I'm very impressed.
You're the FIRST priest I've ever heard speak of this! I grew up with this belief and read about the prophecy in an old book years ago. Most people say I'm crazy for having the candles, etc
Same but they might get a rude awakening when it happens God bless you
Amen and brilliant once again
We have old altar candles at home for this reason. They have been blessed as well.
Thank you Fr. Mark. I love the colour of unbleached, beeswax candles best, the gold colour reminds me of the Lord’s grace at work in our hearts and souls. It’s hard to imagine how much worse things can get in our bonkers world, before the illumination of conscience/ three days of darkness happens!
God bless.🕊🙏🏻
Fr Mark Goring I love St Paul he is best St wonderful movie 🎬 I have seen again and again and I was crying the way God voice came thank you fr 🙏 Amen 🙏.
Thank you for the advice Father Mark
Excellent sermon Fr. Mark👍
When I was child whenever was thunderstorm my mother lit a candle /blessed early / and we were an on our knees praying rosary.
The same candle we keep at home and lit it n a last moments of someone who is approaching death.
It has to be blessed I believe and candlemas is coming up Feb 2nd!
I believe blessed anna maria taigi said only Blessed candles will give light. But beeswax candles are wonderful! I have many Blessed beeswax candles and highly recommend them. Just remember to get your candles BLESSED!
Great job, Father. God bless you
This Friday is the day to Bless the Beeswax Candles, it’s CandlesMass Day…
The candles have to be blessed and it is said you will not need a match to light it during the three days of darkness. But the candle must be blessed by a priest or other clergy
🕯️The candle must be blessed only by a priest or higher, because the others don't have consecrated hands.
And they need to be 100% beeswax candles
Beautiful! Thank you Fr. Goring and God bless you always.
It is not a coincidence, nothing is. 🙏❤️
Thank-you, Fr. Mark, we love your homilies. God bless.
Big amen Father Mark Goring...BIG AMEN!
You can also obtain blessed candles during the Easter vigil.
According to Fr. Chad Ripperger, it helps to practise self-denial everyday and also pray to Our Lady of Sorrows who would reveal the sins that have not been confessed properly. It worked for me and I went to confession soon after that (I realized I failed to observe the Holy days of obligations in weekdays and follow the fasting guideline during Lent).
If we are in the state of grace, we shall feel less pain from the sins that we committed. So we should follow Our Lady's advice to go to confession at least once a month.
God bless 🙏
Thank you! We love you Father! You are a wonderful teacher, full of fiery love of God, and your flock. May God bless you Father!

Thank you Fr Mark 🙏 ❤️ may the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
Fr. Mark, you are the voice of God! Praise be God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
"You see what you are of yourself, but do not be frightened at this. If I were to reveal to you the whole misery that you are, you would die of terror. However, be aware of what you are. Because you are such great misery, I have revealed to you the whole ocean of My mercy." (St. Faustina, Diary, 718)
God Bless
Yes! Thanks, Father, for making us aware that we all should have a beeswax candle.
But it must be BLESSED to be of use during the three days of darkness.
Preferably, this would be done on Candlemas Day, but any time is acceptable.
Love and prayers, Father. 💜🙏🏻
