St Thomas Aquinas Prayer Before Communion/ After Mass
Almighty and everlasting God, behold I come to the Sacrament of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: I come as one infirm to the physician of life, as one unclean to the fountain of mercy, as one blind to the light of everlasting brightness, as one poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore I implore the abundance of Thy measureless bounty that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to heal my infirmity, wash my uncleanness, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty and clothe my nakedness, that I may receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, with such reverence and humility, with such sorrow and devotion, with such purity and faith, with such purpose and intention as may be profitable to my soul’s salvation. Grant unto me, I pray, the grace of receiving not only the Sacrament of our Lord’s Body and Blood, but also the grace and power of the Sacrament. O most gracious God, grant me so to receive the Body of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which He took from the Virgin Mary, as to merit to be incorporated into His mystical Body, and to be numbered amongst His members. O most loving Father, give me grace to behold forever Thy beloved Son with His face at last unveiled, whom I now purpose to receive under the sacramental veil here below.
Amen.
St Thomas Aquinas Prayer Before Communion/ After Mass
St Thomas Aquinas Prayer After Communion/After Mass
I give thanks to Thee, O Lord, most holy, Father almighty, eternal God, that Thou hast vouchsafed, for no merit of mine own, but out of Thy pure mercy, to appease the hunger of my soul with the precious body and blood of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Humbly I implore Thee, let not this holy communion be to me an increase of guilt unto my punishment, but an availing plea unto pardon and salvation. Let it be to me the armour of faith and the shield of good will. May it root out from my heart all vice; may it utterly subdue my evil passions and all my unruly desires. May it perfect me in charity and patience; in humility and obedience; and in all other virtues. May it be my sure defence against the snares laid for me by my enemies, visible and invisible. May it restrain and quiet all my evil impulses, and make me ever cleave to Thee Who art the one true God. May I owe to it a happy ending of my life. And do Thou, O heavenly Father, vouchsafe one day to call me, a sinner, to that ineffable banquet, where Thou, together with Thy Son and the Holy Ghost, art to Thy saints true and unfailing light, fullness of content, joy for evermore, gladness without alloy, consummate and everlasting happiness. Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen. - Zábava
Outline/Timestamps. Hopefully not too much of my voice in the descriptions

4:40 - Outline of video, debate (available for Patreon) as prompt, St Thomas on the Eucharist, "study history deep and and honest will become Catholic"
8:07 - Fr Mann conversion story (briefly)
9:11 - return to "deep in history" idea, Eucharist in early Church time, Christianity's radical claims
12:35 - St Thomas and the feast of Corpus Christi tradition
14:18 - St Thomas Homily excerpt about the Eucharist
17:04 - St Thomas' Prayer to prepare for Mass
21:09 - story about about Fr Jacques Philippe, praying out of our poverty, analogy for Pride (lengthy section, very good)
24:49 - Matt ascends to the seventh mansion ;)
26:35 - Define and discuss Mental Prayer, temptation to "accomplish" prayer instead of sit in vulnerability
31:15 - intermission to acknowledge the commenters
31:45 - St Thomas' prayer reminds Matt of Revelation Chapter 3, the desire of having it "all figured out" on social media, brokenness as a prerequisite for repentance
38:22 - practical application, putting up walls makes it difficult to love well, Matt and Cameron
39:57 - Fr Mann, priestly example, "tone of mercy" from the Church to encourage parishioners to be confident in coming to Confession
43:45 - Clarity vs Charity around Pope Francis, desire for stability, need for nuance
49:05 - danger of "reacting" by swinging the pendulum to the opposite extreem; first mention of "Lifeteen" style music, need to agree where we're in common rather than prioritize rejecting the errors/excesses of other people; importance of personal holiness
54:57 - ease of falling into arrogance when we criticize out of anger
57:05 - "Holy Mother" Church acts like a mother: providing options so all may have a path they relate to most when pursuing Jesus; and it is OK for you not to be enthusiastic about all of them
58:31 - comments turn towards a desire for reverence, as Fr Mann urges caution in imposing ritual on people not yet ready for it; "lifeteen" discussion begins with some pros/cons
1:04:17 - Begin conversation prompted by Commenters; first, Importance of Tradition and Clarity, recognizing that cultural expression can be different
1:05:54 - second, allowance for diversity of practice in the uniformity of belief; Fr Mann describes how faith allows people to question, and question doesn't mean dissent
1:08:39 - third, plurality of practice in faith *outside* of the Mass setting, not as appropriate within Mass; fourth commenter agrees about need for reverence, Fr Mann shares benefits he's seen from the Lifeteen style
1:15:55 - fifth, development of appreciation for liturgical reverence is ok
1:17:30 - Fr Mann discusses how the prayer of St Thomas asks for particular dispositions, don't be afraid of stating what you lack

1:22:33 - Commenter questions begin, and my task ends
This is so helpful,thank you for taking the time!
Absolute beast
@@hunterstrauss6591 THANK YOU! ... mind writing to assistant@mattfradd.com if you want a job :)
Haha! I thought of the same thing at 24:49 Matt was really getting into it lol. I think we all felt that way tho; I was definitely having my pride being exposed
Fr. Mann is a very good Priest. Spiritual Pride is one of the dangers we Catholics need to protect ourselves from.
To be in full Communion with my Lord, I pray as though Christ is my son, then as I walk down the aisle I am His bride and He is my spouse. Then I am overwhelmed by the forgiveness and love of my Father.
Wow. I've been a protestant for over 20 years, and just recently discovering the truths and beauty of the Catholic faith. This discussion was such a blessing! I'd second Adam in that a video on rosaries and icons would be helpful. Thank you Matt and Father Ryan!
Matt you are spot on! We do not need division between Catholics. We should be united especially during these trying times. ❤️
This is so powerful and thoughtful. I enjoyed this conversation so much, it indeed drove me to self-reflection. Thank you so much for this conversation, God bless!
That is so key: if you want to know what a Catholic believes and thinks, (about 1 hour 24 min. point), read from a Catholic (not from a Protestant).
Exactly what i needed to hear today 👌👍thabks matt :)
I highly appreciate the honesty and intention to understand and wrestle with the questions many are facing, while also being willing to pushback against them.
If anyone wants to post a comment with time stamps to the different topics we discussed ... would love to pin it :)
working on it :P This was an amazing conversation, and you two covered a lot of ground!
@mattfradd Can you post the homily of Thomas Aquinas? Prayers before and after Communion are fairly easy to find.
Hey Matt that discussion on pride definitely has to be put in short clip form!
On Tradition in Church: Aquinas in Summa Contra Gentiles talks about hypostasis and how eastern and western Church are divided not because of understanding something, which they understood the same but the hung on different word usage. This is great warning for us to focus on who Christ really is, not what we call Him.
Big league Matt!
Digging the beard Matt 🙌🏼
Matt, this video looks super high quality 😲 It looks very similar to the quality of Capturing Christianity’s channel (clarity, lighting). Good show mate. 👍🏼
🙏🕊👼🏼 Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas
There is a difference between worship and rejoicing. Mass is for direct, intense, focused worship . Youth programs, extra curricular fun at the church and car music is praise and rejoicing with thanksgiving.
I incorporate both worship and rejoicing during Mass and during youth programs.
Also: thank you Ryan Casey for your question (around 1 hour, 27 minutes).
hi Matt :-)
Sounds like the theme of C.S/ Lewis' last book, a novel, Til We Have Faces.(30:18
You are live
Hello @Matt Fradd- have You heard about st Veronica Giuliani? Polish catholic tv Tv Trwam had last night film my friend said : Life of st Veronica Giuliani- awakening of the giant”- or similar- she said that the movie was Amazing !!!!! I ve never heard of her but looking forward to digging into the subject
What do you think about Thomas Aquinas and alchemy
I have a question about binding Spirit s
Matt, any chance of getting the text of that sermon @14:18? Or the title of the book you got it from?
Hi there Matt Frad, I’m a young practicing Roman Catholic who has lived spiritual warfare first hand. I want to help people come to the Lord, and I guess that’s a form of ministry right ? How can I start my own ministry in union with the the Catholic Church? What do I need to know to get started? Any help is appreciated, thanks !(:
Write to Jesse Romero
Hi Matt. Was the Eucharistic excerpt by Aquinas out of his Summa Theologica? If so, what section / page? VERY new to this work, as I thought it to be above my head LOL. Apologies if you mentioned this and I missed it.
Third Part- Question 73. The sacrament of the Eucharist
NewAdvent dot Org
Aquinas also wrote many other works that one should immerse themselves in.
Then there is Bonaventure
Great chat but perhaps the title is a bit misleading since not much in the video is actually about St. Thomas on the Eucharist...
Are there any books on the Eucharist that either of you could suggest?
Jesus and The Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by Brant Pitre. His work is amazing
Ahoy.
Heloo
I often am put in a position to help people afflicted with demons. What can you advise. What can I do when I sense someone is afflicted especially a loved one
Pray rosaries for them, and pray rosaries for them, and approach them about the Lord
With Love of course,
Some humble suggestions.
Before seeing the person :
1. Be as holy as possible, the mere presence of a holy person communicates the grace of God, Eucharistic adoration is very useful for this purpose.
2. Consecrate yourself to St. Michael the Archangel and make a habit of praying Pope Leo XIII's exorcism prayer.
3. Join the exorcism prayer group of Fr. Ripperger, if you're somewhat holy.
While seeing the person :
1. Have some credibility in their eyes, show that you're not uneducated in psychology.
2. Tell them that you want to prayer for them just for good mesure, just in case, no "big deal," using Pope Leo XIII prayer.
3. Bring them to holy places, have them interact with holy things without noticing (ex. holy water, etc).
Final solution (no pun intended lol) : Invite them to church, use all the excuses in the world but make them go with you.
Pray for them and especially encourage them to partake of the Sacrament of Reconciliation; exorcist priests advise that the Sacrament if actually more powerful than an exorcism. Be very careful about laying any hands on them; consult a good, solid priest first.
when my grandparents were on the Healing and Deliverance team, they supported the exorcist and prayed for God to be present, but were supposed to let only the exorcist directly confront the demon of a possessed person. It's good practice that way. I'm not an expert.
At 57:02, "The beautiful thing about the Catholic Church is you can receive in the mouth or hand."" ....The beautiful thing about the Church didn't exist until the 70s and is absent in the Eastern churches? That cannot be true.
Respectfully, I think you are missing the point. I think his point was that our sanctification is more important than rubrics. If we focus and argue over these various minor details like whether you receive by mouth or by hand, we are more worried about being right than we are being transformed. In that sense, I think he is right.
Careful what you say brother ... Praying the Rosary is NEVER a cop out ... it is both mental and rote. And just maybe the most important prayer you pray everyday ...
Around 57:00, you're right that some Traddies are nutty elitists.
But the whole in/out groups thing... let's remember, the criminal establishment within the hierarchy was the one out-grouping us. Not the other way around.
At my wedding I sent the priest at the parish I grew up with, a packet of everything I wanted at the Mass - and he said fine. When I show up for the rehearsal (he obviously didn't read it) and he started screaming at the top of his lungs at my and my fiancée. Tantruming about everything. In all our wedding pictures where he's in the shot, he's scowling at the camera.
Now, I'm not saying some platitudinous thing about how some N.O. priests are fanatics.
What I'm saying -and this is the takeaway - is that all this fear about rude and elitist unwelcoming trades is wildly misplaced. Most TLM goers have a similar story. It is just projection to pretend that TLM lovers are more guilty than the establishment. The establishment is more guilty of everything you're complaining about than the dozens of vocal online trads.
Yes our Lord is whole and present in each and every fragment therefore if you go to a nervous or do math and other people are receiving in the hand and particles drop on the floor and you step on those particles you are stepping on our Lord so there is no way that I can ever receive communion in an n o mass ever again
Simone Get or however you spell it was Jewish. She however flirted with Catholicism but I am not sure if she became a Catholic in the end though.
Simone Weil, she was a precocious intellectual Jew, she became a follower of Jesus, though remained unbaptised, I believe. She died in her early thirties. She wrote some mystic texts, and was also a revolutionary. In fact, she almost destroyed her already very frail health on several occasions by insisting on sharing in the brutal working conditions in factories etc
@@MeisterBeefington I do not know why I wrote get but yeah this. She was a bit of a @~?£ however.
Matt are you well? Your nose looks very red. Have you recovered fully from covid?
That’s just how my face looks. But thanks.
Idk about this guy. He said the churches should have been shut down? During a pandemic. When the people needed God the most
No we did not need to shut down father and I think that you need to look at St Charles borromeo and how he dealt with the plague during his time as a bishop.
Wow... You have no idea. I prayed for this today....
Listen, I go to a N.O. mass close to home, as we have no TLM near us, and after listening to Dr. Taylor Marshall probably a year ago, I felt like I almost completely lost the faith because FEAR that salvation was not possible due to attending an N.O. mass is continuously being indirectly taught through words that are not carefully spoken. I was literally losing hope and what kept me pushing through those temptations was 1) confession 2) the rosary and prayer and 3) HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, because he can SAVE satanists, so why can he not work through N.O. masses? I spend hours daily praying and contemplating and continuously working to grow in Holiness because I deeply desire it, and I am a piece of work. Lol.y point is, because of many traditional Catholics not being careful with judgements and claims, I could have left the faith -- but by the grace of God, it is stronger than ever - still attending my N.O. mass.
Dr. Taylor Marshall came up again today and I watched cautiously, but I truly relived that fear. I prayed and God delivered... You. Thank you. This is so important.
00:01 The slurping and breathing heavily into the mic is, a bit disgusting on a couple levels. Otherwise, loving it
Come on, ASMR, man!
Haha your smooth baritone Aussie tones are all the asmr I need! Also loving the apostle beard! Got a ways to go to catch up to Akin!!😜
Dear Matt, please don't insert comments into the video, it is so distracting. We cannot listen and read at the same time. Whoever wants to can see listeners' comments in the chat box.
