I’m a single dad with two year old twin girls. I listen to this vid every Sunday when I take my girls on the long slog to church (using public transport!). No matter how busy and lonely life can get, the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ always sustains me ❤
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. God Bless you and your children. May our Mother Mary grant you peace and well-being underneath her mantle.
I'm not a dad. Unfortunately, my wife and I are infertile. Also, she has had a rare neurological condition for several years. I work full time and I am her caregiver. So, this really hits the spot. Thank you so much.
I’m sure if brother Frad read this, he’d be thankful he made this video for the sake that one father and his family are deeper in the life of Christ. Really blessed to read your comment and I hope you encounter Christ more fully in Prayer, Word, and Sacraments.
New dad here. Can really relate, especially with me studying to pass my occupational therapy board exam. Please pray for me brothers, and I will pray for all of you. We may all be tired and even struggling, but if we stick it out then one day we will reach that sweet and blessed country where can finally rest. God love you all.
I walked my youngest daughter down the isle one week ago. I often sit just as depicted with my candles on and my statues of the Blessed Mother, St. Michael, and of course our dear Lord. Hang in there young dads. Call upon His name and rest assured He is with you... no matter what.
Young dad here (2 year old and 2 month old) wishing that fatherhood was less "hanging in there" but that's honestly what it feels like 90% of the time. My toddler won't listen to me when I use a kinder "more patient" voice, and yelling at him both upsets him and exhausts me. Explaining to him why helps a little but have to do it over and over and over it's like what it tell him gets wiped out every 5-10min. Any advice or is it really just "hang in there" until their brain develops a better understanding of there are certain things I can't or shouldn't do?

You do realize Jesus was Jewish and his message was for other Jewish followers, not gentiles. You're not only using desert myth as your counter argument, but you're following another group's religion that wasn't meant for you. Also the term "messiah" means anointed king. It's a title that is given to rulers who helped the Jews. For example Alexander the great, cyrus the great, and king David

@Mark Todd Sorry I forgot this comment. I know what this argument is leading to. It's the "he asked his apostles to go to different nations" , no he didn't. The apostles weren't even looking for gentiles the gentiles came to them instead. They were fascinated by Jewish culture and god fearing this surprised the apostles like paul
@Mark Todd 1: see just like said you brought up the cliche hearsay argument. Again apostles weren't looking for gentiles the gentiles came to them because they were curious of Judaism. 2: "final words" , from what I heard this was after his death? I called this hearsay because theres no written records of his life or him saying these things. 3: the old testament prophecies was more about the state of isreal than a messiah figure. The term "son of god" is a common title back then for those who had a special relationship with god for example Angels, pious men, king David, Solomon, and isreal itself. 4: there's a lot of things mondern Christian gentiles gotten wrong from the old testament and Judaism. For example the "war on heaven" is not a thing in the old text. Demons or Shedim (the correct term) are supposed to be decedents of the evil serpent that tricked adam and eve. Also the war in heaven could have been inspired by old pagan religions like norse or Greek mythology. The fallen angel concept could have come from the book of enoch when the watchers lusted after human women and even taught humans things that only Angels and god knows like makeup, weapons, etc.
@@happymate8943 I will end this discussion right here and now, any more words from Happy Mate will just be attempts at missinterpreting the actions of God; perhaps not on bad intention, but as St. Peter once said, talking about Paul. 2 Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction Let us refer back to Jesus's words on Luke 4:25-27: I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[a] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed-only Naaman the Syrian.” Conclusion: For one to be worthy of salvation, it is not needed to be Jew, Gentile, Black, White, it is only needed to be just and humble above all else. Period.

I'm not a dad, but a college student working toward his career. I hope one day I can be a father and raise a good family with strong values. For some reason, I stumbled upon this, and it hit me in the soul; its almost like a preview of the meaningful, rewarding struggle I hope to have one day. Thanks to all the dads out there who stand by their family.
In 43 now, three children , my youngest is 3, she's beautiful. May God guide you to choose wisely your wife, wisdom will be needed with this, so pick well, a Christian girl with good values, trust me, it's for the best, women of the world are not good for men who follow Jesus, it becomes difficult. Therefore choose wisely so the future can be bright. Always look to God and His word for guidance
Hi all, I'm 30 single father of three.. Reading through the comments and seeing all of the words of encouragement has brought me to tears. Thank you. 🙏

Watching this man think and take deep sighs just reminds me of how much men shoulder their burdens alone for the sake of their family and others. Made me kinda emotional and reminds me to have more respect for good men. This is such beautiful music too!

I've started a nightly ritual - after my sons are asleep but before I go there myself, I drink a beer and I pray. I drink the beer to celebrate the end of a day and to help drift off to sleep. I pray in thanksgiving for the day I was given and in preparation for the day ahead, that I might wake to see it and be who God has called me to be in that day. This music helps me focus quite a bit in my nightly prayer. Thank you for all that you do, and may God continue to bless you.
@@dungeonmaster6292 Yup, but I didn't say I "needed" one - it is part of the ritual I chose, and I chose it for multiple reasons. But you didn't ask "why the beer?", you said "no beer". Instead of admonishing the drink choice, why not be thankful that a fellow brother in Christ is trying to strengthen is relationship with our Lord in prayer?
Just wanted to say thank you. My family and I are currently caring for my grandma in hospice after she had several strokes. She is not responsive, but we believe she can still hear. As we say our goodbyes, we have been playing this particular music to soothe her (and ourselves). It's so hard to say goodbye to someone we love so dearly and who has been such a central part of our lives. She is the reason I am Catholic, thanks to her unceasing faith and her example as a devout woman of God. Thank you for providing a small comfort in the sea of turmoil. There is beauty to be found even as we face death.
We said goodbye to our Mom who was also in hospice a few years ago. Offering prayers for your grandma's peaceful journey to Our Lord and for your comfort. I feel that the reverence and beauty of this music brings blessings. God bless you and your loved ones! 🙏🕊️🌹
@@rosswade3602 I'm glad you are on the tail end of your time, but I have a little over a year. I am only 2 months in. I pray for a speedy and safe end to your mission and safe return home to your bride and children.
I'm very grateful for your work. I'm dad of two (3 and 6). i have two jobs, where I have to focus. Your lofi keeps me quiet and doesn't disturb. I have head full of thoughts, my wife suffers from cancer. It's not easy, but when I listen to "sleepy dad" I feel that, somehow subconsciously, I pray. Many thanks! Deo gratias!
This is my favorite one proper catholic Lofi, and any parent/person who cares for others can easily relate. Though I like it that you focused on the Dads first. Thanks from a Mom/grandma 🌻
I think dads are often overlooked and underappreciated. To all the men who quietly serve, sacrifice, and pray for their families -- thank you. God sees and knows.
This is awesome. And a beautiful visual for me to pray with! I hope God has a husband like this in my future! Please Lord, I'd love a tired, holy dad for my children, haha such an odd prayer request!
Thank you so much for this! I can't get enough of this channel. BTW no one mention that Christ has supplied this tired dad with an endless cup of coffee!
Stuck across the world from the family for a bit. Thanks for the streams to help me chill and reset. Prayers for my wife and kiddos, holding down the fort until i can get home.
I'm going to miss the live chat. What a great time. I can't wait for the next mix to come out lol. Edit: It's crazy how far a person can come in just three months. Re-listening to this stream I'm reminded of the place I was in when this was livestreamed and where I am now in comparison. Thank you to everyone who was giving advice in the chat. In this time I've gone from someone who was struggling with agnosticism but wanted to believe so badly to now being in RCIA and set to be baptized and confirmed on Easter. I went from a skeptic to a daily mass attending, rosary praying, eucharist adoring, devout and passionate believer. Praise God, for it's only through his gifts that I've received this new faith.
To all the dads out there, I want to say “Peace be with you”. I am a tired, lost and demotivated dad. I pray that the Lord forgives me for my weaknesses and sins. I want to go home to God and be done with this world.
I'm glad you ended up doing lofi with a Gregorian chant spin on it, it what was I expecting/hoping for. It's what will make catholic lofi stand apart, more importantly, how is it "Catholic" lofi if it doesn't have a bit of our Catholic Traditional embedded into it?
The way this evokes the mundane and the divine together is splendid. It's like the Lofi is every day things and the Chant is transcendent worship, coming together to create a sense of praising God in the midst of daily life. Simply beautiful!
My wife and I are infertile, but we've been foster parents for about a year. I know there are so many people who have it harder, but this has definitely been me lately... ✝️ Thank you so much for these amazing meditations!
In case someone wonders about the lyrics/original chants, here's the ones I managed to find: From Requiem Mass 0:00 - no clue, I wish I knew 10:23 - Kyrie Eleison 14:12 - Dies Irae; version: Solesmes 18:05 - Lux Aeterna - Communion hymn for Requiem Masses 22:19 - Sanctus; 26:32 - Domine Jesu Christe (Mass for the Dead, Offertory) 30:56 - Agnus Dei 35:30 - ? 40:00 - Introito for Requiem Mass - Requiem Aeternam I 43:43 - ? 47:34 - Dies Irae once again, but the last half now. 51:05 - 55:49 - Preface from Ordo Missae It's really incomplete, I'll keep editing once I find more chants.
@@petal9547 Kyrie Eleison is the name of the prayer: it's greek and stands for "Lord, unchain us/set us free" (though the prayer is usually translated as Have Mercy on Us). It's a really old prayer, and several melodies have been created, the early ones are called gregorian chants. So they were written mostly by groups/anonimous monks, we can't pinpoint an author for most of them. Instead, the melodies are differentiated by use, meaning, the kind of Mass they were composed to. We have the Orbis Factor (for sundays most of the year), de Angelis, for II Class Solemnities, and it goes on. All of the chants contemplated hete that I could recognize come from the Requiem Mass, or Mass for the Dead, so I put this before the list in order not to reapeat it everytime; I think this is the easiest way to locate the chants when searching on the Internet, just adding requiem.
@@annakareninacamara6580 Thank you for your elaborated answer, I appreciate it. I really liked how the instruments suited the prayer on that one. I found the Requiem Mass Kyrie Eleison but without the instruments playing on top of it. It's beautiful anyways.
El Señor tenía tres amigos íntimos, Pedro, Santiago y Juan, y en herencia les dejó lo que más quería: A Juan le dejó a Su Madre A Pedro le dejó la Iglesia Y a Santiago… ¡Le dejó ESPAÑA!
Please make more of these! Not much comforts me more than feeling such a deep, spiritual self reflection. This is ABSOLUTELY the cherry on top for doing so, and to boot, it creates a wonderful study atmosphere, should I need to study.
Amazing! Making catholic culture available and attractive for the youth is a great work! I`ll keep yoou in my prayers. Stand strong and may God bless you, brother.
Tired mom who listened to the Rosary album during labor...nursing my 4 week old daughter listening to this after sending my husband to bed early. He has been working so hard to take the load off my shoulders during the day with our other 3. He needs more time with our Lord, just like this dad.
I'm not a sleepy father, nor am I a parent, I'm just a regular Catholic girl who's just tryna do her homework. This playlist really calms me, since I love lofi and gregorian chants, Godbless everyone and have a blessed day, night or afternoon' ❤️
This picture shows me a side of my dad I didn't realize was possible even though I grew up in a Catholic home. I'm 34 now, and I strive to be like this, even though I am not a father myself.
First year college student living abroad here, this is kinda how I imagine my dad looking nowadays, I miss him so much! I still feel guilty for leaving my parents in a difficult situation with my astranged 15 year old sister. They don't know but I'm thinking about them everyday and praying for them as often as I can.
Gregorian music is indeed wonderful. The lyrics are often verses taken straight from the Bible (especially Psalms), and thus can be admired by Christians of all stripes.
Convinced Protestant here. I'm a new father working 2+ jobs. This really hits the late night work vibes and leads me directly into evening prayer. Thank you.
I got home from a shift at work an hour or two before my kids got home from school yesterday and this popped up while I was scrolling my mind completely cleared and I don't think I'd felt that relaxed or peaceful in a long long time.
Now isn't this something nice to see rather than a kid, a real guy with some age and ribbons of reality, just trying to figure it all out on his chair and all he has to do that is his thoughts and mind.
i didn't even know Matt Fradd was behind this! This makes me love it even more. As a sleepy Catholic Dad working hard to provide for his family this warms my heart. May we all gain strength from our Father in Heaven and allow us to gain inspiration from St Joseph - Amen.
I’ve recently been trying to get more into writing and these videos are perfect for keeping me focused! 🥰 I listened through the other lofis at least five times by now and can’t wait to do the same with this one.
Why had YT demonitized the channel? "Religion intollerance", isn't this the way they call it? Count on with my prayers brother. I'll try to support the best I can. Hail Holy Queen.

We all should

Hang in there tired dad. Your sacrifices are seen by Our Lord Jesus. God bless you and yours.

I've started a nightly ritual - after my sons are asleep but before I go there myself, I drink a beer and I pray. I drink the beer to celebrate the end of a day and to help drift off to sleep. I pray in thanksgiving for the day I was given and in preparation for the day ahead, that I might wake to see it and be who God has called me to be in that day. This music helps me focus quite a bit in my nightly prayer. Thank you for all that you do, and may God continue to bless you.
That’s wonderful. I smoke weed and do something similar.
@@jetttangelbut gering high is not the same as drinking a beer. Drinking a beer doesn’t get one drunk.
you don't need a beer
@@dungeonmaster6292 Yup, but I didn't say I "needed" one - it is part of the ritual I chose, and I chose it for multiple reasons. But you didn't ask "why the beer?", you said "no beer". Instead of admonishing the drink choice, why not be thankful that a fellow brother in Christ is trying to strengthen is relationship with our Lord in prayer?
@@DJWidget the beer is verboten
Just wanted to say thank you. My family and I are currently caring for my grandma in hospice after she had several strokes. She is not responsive, but we believe she can still hear. As we say our goodbyes, we have been playing this particular music to soothe her (and ourselves). It's so hard to say goodbye to someone we love so dearly and who has been such a central part of our lives. She is the reason I am Catholic, thanks to her unceasing faith and her example as a devout woman of God.
Thank you for providing a small comfort in the sea of turmoil. There is beauty to be found even as we face death.
We said goodbye to our Mom who was also in hospice a few years ago. Offering prayers for your grandma's peaceful journey to Our Lord and for your comfort. I feel that the reverence and beauty of this music brings blessings. God bless you and your loved ones! 🙏🕊️🌹
This is my very favorite comment ~ ❤️🙏🏻🌹 ~ and they are all so wonderful ~

As a dad who struggles with faith and feelings of inadequacy, I've found a lot of peace and inspiration from this video. Thank you.
God Bless you Jess.
RIght there with you buddy. Never traveling alone.
Feeling of inadequacy - it sounds so familiar to me. God bless you.
God bless you. You are amazing.
Sometimes it is merely doing small things well over and over, my friend.
Praying with you.
This music just made my newborn stop crying and go to sleep. God bless you Matt!
Absolutely stunning. And since I’m a father of three who is away from his kids for military reasons, I needed this.
God bless you Isaac. Thank you and your precious family for the sacrifices you make.
God be intimately close with this brother of mine and his gift... His family.
Same here brother. 4 more months in Korea until I get on back to my wife and kids. I hope you're home soon yourself.
@@rosswade3602 I'm glad you are on the tail end of your time, but I have a little over a year. I am only 2 months in. I pray for a speedy and safe end to your mission and safe return home to your bride and children.
@@rosswade3602 Sorry for the intrusion and laziness, but... What's wrong with Korea?
As a sleepy dad myself... I can confirm the validity of this mix.
Now got to bed.
I'm very grateful for your work. I'm dad of two (3 and 6). i have two jobs, where I have to focus. Your lofi keeps me quiet and doesn't disturb. I have head full of thoughts, my wife suffers from cancer. It's not easy, but when I listen to "sleepy dad" I feel that, somehow subconsciously, I pray. Many thanks! Deo gratias!
May the LORD be with you, Piotr Patejuk...
❤️
🙏🙏 for you and your family
Prayers for strength to you and your wife. God bless yall
God bless
Piotr, trzymaj się Bracie!
Happy Father's Day to all the sleepy dads out there listening to this!! Prayers for you and your family.
As a perpetually sleepy dad, the accompanying animation speaks to me on a deep level.
I'm melting inside. And that's proper catholic lofi! Thanks and may God bless you!
Studying for finals. I'm not a father but I feel I can relate so much rn.
This is my favorite one proper catholic Lofi, and any parent/person who cares for others can easily relate. Though I like it that you focused on the Dads first. Thanks from a Mom/grandma 🌻
I think dads are often overlooked and underappreciated. To all the men who quietly serve, sacrifice, and pray for their families -- thank you. God sees and knows.
Great job!
More Gregorian chant mixes in the future please!!!
I concur! -mel
No way - someone actually made a gregorian chant lofi!?!? I've been hunting for this everywhere!!! Awesome sauce
In a world full of madness, pain, loss, and depravity; Christ is now my only source of true peace.
This is awesome. And a beautiful visual for me to pray with! I hope God has a husband like this in my future! Please Lord, I'd love a tired, holy dad for my children, haha such an odd prayer request!
Not an odd prayer, a tender heartfelt prayer! May the Lord grant you such a man.
It is not odd at all! I have the same request.
Same here! I pray that God and St Raphael send a good, Catholic family man our way. ❤️🙏
@@OceanaK1 Amen!
Women with faith are so rare nowadays...Im so glad I married one.
I will pray for you🙏
As a father, this hits close to home. Reminds me of the times I try to pray and I just end up being half-asleep. Beautiful music.
Right there with you Jake. I know exactly what you mean.
Thank you so much for this! I can't get enough of this channel. BTW no one mention that Christ has supplied this tired dad with an endless cup of coffee!
🙂
Hannukah 2 electric boogaloo
there's always just enough for the next sip xD
Stuck across the world from the family for a bit. Thanks for the streams to help me chill and reset.
Prayers for my wife and kiddos, holding down the fort until i can get home.
This is beyond great. This tired dad is moved to tears at this soul-lifting music.
I'm going to miss the live chat. What a great time. I can't wait for the next mix to come out lol.
Edit: It's crazy how far a person can come in just three months. Re-listening to this stream I'm reminded of the place I was in when this was livestreamed and where I am now in comparison. Thank you to everyone who was giving advice in the chat. In this time I've gone from someone who was struggling with agnosticism but wanted to believe so badly to now being in RCIA and set to be baptized and confirmed on Easter. I went from a skeptic to a daily mass attending, rosary praying, eucharist adoring, devout and passionate believer. Praise God, for it's only through his gifts that I've received this new faith.
Twas great!
Go on locals
Praise God, welcome to the family!😍🙏
Your post was really nostalgic. I went through something similar years ago.
How are you holding up so far?
@@alonsoACR baptized and confirmed 👍 now just gotta stay consistent and not grow lukewarm in the faith
To all the dads, moms, aunts, uncles, and other parental figures: God bless you. You've got this. Our Lord and Our Lady will preserve you.
Not yet a dad, but that's literally me sometimes just staring at the picture of Christ. No adrenaline, just peace to regain masculine strength.
Amen.
Amen
Amen
You'll be a good dad bro. Continue on
This looks just like my husband, who is a wonderful dad. Thanks for this beautiful content!
To all the dads out there, I want to say “Peace be with you”. I am a tired, lost and demotivated dad. I pray that the Lord forgives me for my weaknesses and sins. I want to go home to God and be done with this world.
I’ll pray for you. My fiancé is experiencing something similar.
How are you now? I hope you managed to get through it. ❤️
As a husband and father of 3 who’s up before they are in the morning this is the perfect music.
Up at 0520 all week. I say a quiet goodbye to em and head off to break my balls for 10 hours of construction. For those we love we will sacrifice.
Wow - it was very touching reading the comments. Thank you for this beautiful music and all the wholesome comments.
I'm glad you ended up doing lofi with a Gregorian chant spin on it, it what was I expecting/hoping for.
It's what will make catholic lofi stand apart, more importantly, how is it "Catholic" lofi if it doesn't have a bit of our Catholic Traditional embedded into it?
The way this evokes the mundane and the divine together is splendid. It's like the Lofi is every day things and the Chant is transcendent worship, coming together to create a sense of praising God in the midst of daily life. Simply beautiful!
This suddenly became my favorite lofi channel on CZcams.
ameeeen!
My daughter (second kid) was born last week so this was timely, thanks
Congratulations! What a blessing. May God bless you and your family.
Congratulations!! ^-^
Congratulations! :D
Thanks everyone :)
@@nickelbers48 congratulations!. I hope God bless your family.
My wife and I are infertile, but we've been foster parents for about a year.
I know there are so many people who have it harder, but this has definitely been me lately... ✝️
Thank you so much for these amazing meditations!
God bless you and your family!
In case someone wonders about the lyrics/original chants, here's the ones I managed to find:
From Requiem Mass
0:00 - no clue, I wish I knew
10:23 - Kyrie Eleison
14:12 - Dies Irae; version: Solesmes
18:05 - Lux Aeterna - Communion hymn for Requiem Masses
22:19 - Sanctus;
26:32 - Domine Jesu Christe (Mass for the Dead, Offertory)
30:56 - Agnus Dei
35:30 - ?
40:00 - Introito for Requiem Mass - Requiem Aeternam I
43:43 - ?
47:34 - Dies Irae once again, but the last half now.
51:05 -
55:49 - Preface from Ordo Missae
It's really incomplete, I'll keep editing once I find more chants.
Thank you! I wish quality posts like this would be at the top.
@@user-zo2ge3oe8d glad to help!
10:23 - Kyrie Eleison , is the name of the author but not of the song? anybody knows it?
@@petal9547 Kyrie Eleison is the name of the prayer: it's greek and stands for "Lord, unchain us/set us free" (though the prayer is usually translated as Have Mercy on Us).
It's a really old prayer, and several melodies have been created, the early ones are called gregorian chants. So they were written mostly by groups/anonimous monks, we can't pinpoint an author for most of them.
Instead, the melodies are differentiated by use, meaning, the kind of Mass they were composed to. We have the Orbis Factor (for sundays most of the year), de Angelis, for II Class Solemnities, and it goes on. All of the chants contemplated hete that I could recognize come from the Requiem Mass, or Mass for the Dead, so I put this before the list in order not to reapeat it everytime; I think this is the easiest way to locate the chants when searching on the Internet, just adding requiem.
@@annakareninacamara6580 Thank you for your elaborated answer, I appreciate it. I really liked how the instruments suited the prayer on that one. I found the Requiem Mass Kyrie Eleison but without the instruments playing on top of it. It's beautiful anyways.
Thank you for this. At 37 I have a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old and I can definitely relate.
So thankful to be a father. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ
As a gregorian chant fan and an anime fan this is amazing please make more god
Bless y'all : 3
LORD BLESS 🙌 🙏
Oh how excited I am for this!
May God bless all of us men with increasingly Godly wives, with wonderful children and enduring faith.
Wowww definitely need more Gregorian lofi in my life lol this is so awesome
Maravillosa música. Saludos desde España, tierra de la Santísima Virgen María ¡Gloria a Dios!
El Señor tenía tres amigos íntimos, Pedro, Santiago y Juan, y en herencia les dejó lo que más quería:
A Juan le dejó a Su Madre
A Pedro le dejó la Iglesia
Y a Santiago… ¡Le dejó ESPAÑA!
Please make more of these! Not much comforts me more than feeling such a deep, spiritual self reflection. This is ABSOLUTELY the cherry on top for doing so, and to boot, it creates a wonderful study atmosphere, should I need to study.
I study to this because it is so relaxing. It reminds me to revert my gaze to God.
This is the greatest thing I've ever listened to
Amazing! Making catholic culture available and attractive for the youth is a great work! I`ll keep yoou in my prayers. Stand strong and may God bless you, brother.
Tired mom who listened to the Rosary album during labor...nursing my 4 week old daughter listening to this after sending my husband to bed early. He has been working so hard to take the load off my shoulders during the day with our other 3. He needs more time with our Lord, just like this dad.
Praise the Lord. Alleluia. AMEN. Ave Maria
I'm not a sleepy father, nor am I a parent, I'm just a regular Catholic girl who's just tryna do her homework. This playlist really calms me, since I love lofi and gregorian chants, Godbless everyone and have a blessed day, night or afternoon' ❤️
I hope your homework went well! Godbless you.
Father of 4 girls here, this is perfect :D
Sanctus starting at about 22:19 made me need to stop working and start praying. Amazing work guys!
This picture shows me a side of my dad I didn't realize was possible even though I grew up in a Catholic home. I'm 34 now, and I strive to be like this, even though I am not a father myself.
This is my favorite one so far. The chant is great and blends really well.
Just noticed how the candles move with the sigh, awesome attention to detail!!!!
Thank you for making dads real and seen. This helps make me feel like somehow our culture can start to turn around and heal.
To all dads and men of faith and character, thank you and bless you
First year college student living abroad here, this is kinda how I imagine my dad looking nowadays, I miss him so much! I still feel guilty for leaving my parents in a difficult situation with my astranged 15 year old sister. They don't know but I'm thinking about them everyday and praying for them as often as I can.
I am going through a separation and have been praying but feel on the verge of a panic attack thank u for this
I'm a very sleepy dad trying to get some software written. This is just what I needed, thank you.
This is just wonderful.
From a Protestant Pastor 😌🙏🏻
Gregorian music is indeed wonderful. The lyrics are often verses taken straight from the Bible (especially Psalms), and thus can be admired by Christians of all stripes.
Repent and embrace the True Church. Amen!
@@TURBOSRP I'm already in it! 🙌🏻
@@brotherjames1623 No, you're not. You're in a heretical church founded by a corrupt schismatic man that made a nun break her vows.
This music was the theme for my 2023... thank you. May our father in heaven bless the people behind this channel.
This is my favorite catholic lofi album yet. I especially appreciate the art. Thank you for making this happen!
This is my favorite so far! Being a Dad of 4 this piece is helpful in relaxation and contemplation of Gods mercy.
Convinced Protestant here. I'm a new father working 2+ jobs. This really hits the late night work vibes and leads me directly into evening prayer. Thank you.
I will add that I have just enrolled in college again for my doctorate. This is my constant, late-night companion. Much appreciated.
Lofi Gregorian chant is my new favorite thing in the world.
Pushed play instantly! Just from the title alone, I feel like this was made just for me. Thank you!
The first 10 minutes and 21 seconds of this is incredible. I wept listening to it the first time I did. Incredible.
I got home from a shift at work an hour or two before my kids got home from school yesterday and this popped up while I was scrolling my mind completely cleared and I don't think I'd felt that relaxed or peaceful in a long long time.
As a woman with the soul of a grumpy dad, thank you for this
Now isn't this something nice to see rather than a kid, a real guy with some age and ribbons of reality, just trying to figure it all out on his chair and all he has to do that is his thoughts and mind.
Simply amazing! Love Gregorian lofi
Very well done.
Being an involved Dad is far away my greatest accomplishment in this earthly life. Thank you God, for all of my blessings.
i didn't even know Matt Fradd was behind this! This makes me love it even more. As a sleepy Catholic Dad working hard to provide for his family this warms my heart. May we all gain strength from our Father in Heaven and allow us to gain inspiration from St Joseph - Amen.
I’ve recently been trying to get more into writing and these videos are perfect for keeping me focused! 🥰
I listened through the other lofis at least five times by now and can’t wait to do the same with this one.
CZcams has demonetized us (for no good reason). Please support us so we can keep making calming content → www.patreon.com/CatholicLofi
Cant afford it but thanks for making these anyhow
Why were you demonetized?
YES
The demons hate what you’re doing. May this produce more good fruit than any CZcams monetization ever could. 🙏
Why had YT demonitized the channel? "Religion intollerance", isn't this the way they call it?
Count on with my prayers brother. I'll try to support the best I can.
Hail Holy Queen.
I put this on for my students....relaxes them...never had a complaint
