I have become so much more aware of how I have hurt and offended Our Lord throughout my 67 years. I have confessed my sins now and in the past but looking back over my sins I am filled with horror and shame that I could never be sorry enough.. Taking the Lord's name in vain I did often. Usually happens when I am driving. I have become more aware and am making progress.
Wow! Something just hit me and I wasn't even thinking of my mother and father. They have both been dead for many years. My mother was, we thought and still think, the closest person we knew to a saint. My mother didn't love my father for his own sake, my mother loved my father for God's sake. Just today I can clearly understand why she gave all she gave. In addition, I have come to believe that my mother's prayers gave my father the opportunity to be saved before his death. Thank you father Ripperger!
Fr Ripperger's exorcism talks are excellent, but his talks on the spiritual life are life changing. In my opinion, Fr Ripperger and Ven Fulton Sheen are the greatest resources on YouTube because of their ability to explain virtue in an accessible manner without sacrificing the gravity of the subjects.
I also really value the camera work for the video. It's a lot more engaging than the stock photos on Sensuus Fidelium.
Fr Ripperger is one of the most gifted preachers I have had the honour of listening to. I have learnt so much about the Catholic faith from him. All Catholics should be taught this stuff (besides bothering to read the Catechism).
Our daughter is 33 today - she’s one of those 98% living in mortal sin with an atheist man - please pray for Jenna and Patrick to see the light of Christ in their lives before they die and for Patrick to believe 8:28 in God and be baptized Catholic, for them to someday marry in the Catholic Church.
May God bless your immortal soul Fr. Ripperger. It is your videos that brought me back to my Catholic faith 5 years ago. I can't personally thank you enough that I even have a chance at salvation today.
I should add Father Ripperger to my list of speakers to see live. I saw Dr Scott Hahn yesterday he gave a wonderful talk about connecting the new and Old Testaments. The whole event was awesome including mass with the bishop.
I wonder how many cases of anxiety and depression would be cured if we all did this. I suffer both, but listening to this I realize I’ve got to get my faculties under control.
