Instablaster.
This is so true and beautiful. I really wish I could have heard this in my 20s. Thank you and God Bless you.
Dear Father...your homily was SO full of TRUTH and seasoned with a little humor...it brightened up my day!! It'd not easy to be humble, especially if with an obnoxious person. I always biting my tongue, but it gets easier if you think of our Lords passion, which I do! GOD BLESS
This was awesome. Definitely challenges me to shut up a little. Thanks father. Sometimes we gotta hear simple things that can be challenging.
bonifamanlover U GOT THAT RIGHT
Please pray for this priest. Very good homily!
Outstanding! Please pray for this priest.
Very good lecture. We all seek happiness. Jesus sought our happiness and suffered a great deal. Out of love . We must try to be closer to Christ.
Humility is the soil of all virtues. Virtues lead to happiness . Pride is the soil of all vices. From vices comes sadness. General rule , good to think about.
Nice you reminded me of st bernard clairveux the 12 degrees of humility and pride good point 😄
EXCELLENT exhortation point!
Just meditate on what a terrie sinner you are for a few days and every virtue will be yours. Well, I've been doing this for 40 years now and every year that goes by I commit more and more sins.
I'm glad you all are saints. I'm glad humility made you all perfect. 40 years and it hasn't worked for me.
I was on that side of the fence before. All I could tell you is like I was drinking from the pitchet. My thirst and hunger was not being satisfied so I kept eating and drinking. I was not drinking and eating at the Lord's table, and I felt like I was hamster in wheel. Until I found the man of my dreams,. but was I in his dreams. We both had to get out of the dream world and into God's world. Then reality bit us both the Truth was dining at our table. Hell broke all loose. My husband prayed and I prayed that God bless our marriage. To communicate not dictate to each other. To open your heart to Loving not commanding. While Satan was running through Jesus Christ through the Truth was chasing Satan right out the door. Through taking a humbled peaceful listening with helpful ears help us control how we respond to one another. I am still trying to learn of God's humility especially when the devil came to dinner one night. Don't allow the Devil into your bedroom, or you will be facing a lot of sleepless nights. God Jesus Christ please help all of us including me to learn how to hear one another and speak to each other from your heart Jesus.
Humility makes marriage impossible, at least for a man.
Wonderful homily, Father. Thank you, so much.
Thanx a million Father😇🙏🏻😇
+ We must PRAY to BE saved :
ALL those who PRAY according to OUR LORD will be saved..........
Thank you for this message!
Can He save us from humility?
Absolutely right!! We always have the best opinion about ourselves and people try to put up with our faults as well. Thank you Fr for this homily. It has a profound effect on me. I pray to be a better person by not being pre and post judgmental ti my neighbor. God please forgive me of my sins.
"Be comforted because you have the same effect on them as well." So savage 😂
Thank so much Sensus Fidelium. God bless you more;)!
Shortcuts! This took me 50 years to this far! Now I'm doing personalized notifications.
Best homily ever!!!
I’m with u
I shared this. This is the key to happiness.
CHRIST IS KING
Thanks
this was a great lecture
Excellent sermon
Dr Dietrich Von Handleberd, Dr Alice
I was happy in Christ until a well- meaning priest told me I had too much pride. So I read Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis and Humility of Heart by Cajetan DeBergamo and I went through twenty years of hell. Far from being a little captain that kept the other virtues in line, like DeBergamo claims, I started to commit more a d more sins. I was miserable. I began to insult God, Whom I dearly loved until I started to practice humility in earnest. My work life suffered greatly----good thing I was self-employed at the time or I would have been fired. Finally, after two bankruptcies and years of misery I decided that respect for others, obedience to authority, and keeping one's nose out of other people's business was all the humility that I could do and surely all the humility a reasonable God would expect. Thongs have been much better since.
At the very least an overly humble person can never be an effective leader, wouldn't everybody agree with that?
Ora pro nobis
amen
Good sermon. .but being loving to narcissists and bullies never works.. you get drained out and at the end just stop speaking to them.
Oh you are so right on. Know exactly where you are coming from. Even if you don't say anything, they go on and on and on (like poking you with a finger) and you leave, they follow or get louder. Water would of not worked for me in the beginning, I would of swallowed or spit it out. Lol. Now like you, just stop talking and let them poke. And when they are not looking, you cry.
A very good priest I once knew would say regularly that we must forgive our enemies but that it is not necessary to continue to socialize with them.
I don't think I do anything annoying...
How do you use soap without getting it wet?
He stopped using it, ha ha.
Liz Leary He may have drained the excess water in the drip tray below.

It's not how to use soap with out getting it wet it's how to not leave it wet n a mess

Humility, far from being the key to happiness and the foundation of the spiritual life, is the destroyer of competence, confidence, accomplishment, relationships, leadership, and marriage. When I hear people talking about how wonderful humility is I know I am talking to people who have never tried to have it.
George Penton Competence, confidence, accomplishment are ultimately gifts from God. Being created by God first make all of the above possible. Be humble and thank God--and this homilist. Without God we are nothing.
@@kylakortright702 Nice talk, Kyla, but real life isn't like that.
@@bestofburden Nice talk, Benjamin, but real life isn't like that.
Lifes tough bro, but humility is the opposite of pride. Pride is a deadly sin which kills the soul.
Being humble isnt the opposite of being brave. Infact cowardice is a vice, and its opposite fortitude is a virtue. So a virtuous man can both be humble and stick up for himself without pride.
You've got things very confused, and i hope you manage to pull yourself together my friend
Liquid soap dispenser!!!!!!
I would like to put some common sense in here please. Humility? Happiness? People, what kind of happiness is crawling in your hands and knees and calling yourself a worm and not a man? What kind of happiness comes from telling yourself over and over that you are the worst human being in the history of the human race?
8:03 Be loving and kind to everyone and people will like you? Are you kidding? This is the worst "nice guy" advice ever. That's a recipe for getting walked over and ignored. You can't be worried what other people think about you.
Duke You’re right. When you’re dealing with a family system of fiends who have singled out one person as the scapegoat, you have to walk away and not look back. Being nice will get you utterly destroyed. This homily is extremely poor advise.
Duke your approach is a recipe for loneliness. We are all flawed and are human. We need love compassion and charity to make things work.
Of course sometimes you do need to leave people behind if they don't have any love for you at all or are trying to take you to hell.
Jason Davis Well said!
You don’t need to worry about what others think of you. Put everything into the hands of God. He’ll make you realize who your true friends are s
Duke has a point. If one is fortunate to have grown up in a nice Catholic family, like this speaker probably did, like most prirsts and nuns did, then being sweet and kind and good and turning the other cheek works just fine. But if you grow up with abusive parents you beat you, belittle you, and sexually abuse you, fighting back---often with physical violence---'becomes the only option. Likewise in dealing with bullies at school. Likewise dealing with people who are trying to suse you and exploit you at work. Being sweet Mr. Goody Two Shoes dors not always work.
This speaker says we should all give up something that annoys our family members. The main thing that annoyed my family members was that I was Catholic and they were not. Should I give up my faith just to please my family members?
Ate you people absolutely out of your mind? Do you really think that if you crawl low and call yourself a worm and not a man that God will be pleased by that? Are you His children, or are you slaves in His plantation?
George, what are we compared to God? The great saints and even all the saints realized that fundamental truth: "God is God, I am not." We ARE worms compared to God, who is All-good, All-powerful, All-merciful, and All-knowing. We are not worthy to be called His children because of our many sins, but He still has mercy on us and continues to send His Grace. The saints realized that they could never presume on God's mercy, that is why St. Paul could say he "is the worst sinner." One more thing, we can only be two things in this life, either slaves to God or slaves to sin and the devil. Jesus was a "slave" to His Father's Will, He even says in the Garden, and many times, "Not My Will but Thy Will be done." And He was God!! Humility is simply knowing where we stand before God, it doesn't mean being a pushover. The more humility, the more we realize how we can do absolutely nothing good without God's help. May God Bless you through His Immaculate Mother.
@@matthewtirabassi8597 When you filled out your job application did you tell them that you were a worm and not a man? When you asked your wife to marry you, or when you asked her out on the first date, did you tell her you were a worm and not a man? If Charles Manson wanted to babysit your children would you say, sure, after all I am the chief of sinners and Charles Manson's sins aren't nearly as bad as mine are?
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh George, you may believe whatever you wish. I believe I am a worm, a miserable sinner. I am no saint, but a slave to Jesus through Mary. I wish you all the best, may God Bless you.
@@matthewtirabassi8597 When youbappliedvfor the job you now have, did you tell them that you were a worm and not a man? When you asked your wife to marry you, or when you asked her out for the first time, did you tell her you were a worm and not a man? If Charles Manson wanted to baby sit your children, would you say, sure, after all I'm a worse sinner than he is?
All I'm saying is there has got to be some common sense limits to this humility stuff. What if we said humility is just obedience and let it go at that?
The two favorite lies I have heard about humility are (1) it is the foundation of the spiritual life and (2) humility acts as a little captain that keeps all the other virtues in line. They are my favorites in that they are the most outrageous, ridiculous, and absolutely false claims about humility. Humility the foundation of the spiritual life? Shouldn't faith in Christ be the foundation of the spiritual life?
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh Please, George, how are those lies? Pride is the vice from which all sins stem from. The pride of satan was responsible for his fall, likewise the pride of our first parents led to the fall of the human race. Since humility is the antidote to pride, humility is the greatest virtue. Thus it is the foundation of the spiritual life. Humility also keeps the other virtues in check. Because for example, if you have the virtue of piety, and if pride in your piety begins to creep in, you would no longer have the virtue of piety. That is why you need humility to keep the pride in your piety in check.
I'm not sure if I can answer that question, but in order to have faith in Christ you would first need humility to accept him as Christ our Savior. I'm sorry if this is not the right answer.
Should be sermonising against Usury, Abortion and the 7 deadly sins.....not these existential feelings....hmm
Jimmie Blacksmith you’ll see many of those topics in this channel. But for this homily, I think this is one of the best homilies I’ve ever heard
No need for constant hot button topics. The faith has much more to be taught about than politics
This is POOR advise. You assume a benevolent family system. We’re out here dealing with vicious fiends who single out one child to be the scapegoat. Over time their attacks become deadlier and more perverse. Walk away and don’t look back.
Elaine McMurren I assume you don’t pray for your family
@@cheketertepgugma9382 That certainly is a gratuitous judgmental insult. I grew up in a family like that and I prayed day and night for my family members.
The real world isn't always a Sunday School, people. Sometimes you just have to stand up for yourselves. Maybe the great holy saints, who claimed to think of themselves as worms and not men but who presumed themselves worthy of priesthood or religious life, and whose family backgrounds were idyllic, would self-righteously cluck their tongues at us, but surely the Good Lord Jesus Christ knows our plight and will understand. Notice Jesus didnt turn the other cheek to the money changers in the temple or the scribes and pharisees.
George Penton I don’t see how Jesus’ actions in the temple would be a good example for turning the other cheek. The moneychangers disrespected the house of God. If Jesus would’ve turned the other cheek, the moneychangers would’ve done worse
George Penton not great and holy saints came from idyllic households. Many came from fatherless families
George Penton I understand that Our Lord would’ve have understand Miss Elaine’s plight but to say that the priest’s advice is poor, I think otherwise
