Fr. Benedict Groeschel

[Ginnablackford]

Wow! I have been spirittually drawn to Father Groeschel and what he is teaching. The movement of my soul toward Father Groeschel is awesome. What love, what passion, what a powerful witness of Jesus Christ. I said to my husband two days ago, that I believe Father Groeschel will be a canonized saint. He is so beautiful to my heart.

Ditto! I saw him for a parish mission at St. Brigids Church in San Diego in late 2001. I got there early just as he was in the vestibule. I went to shake his hand, and he held it SO RESPECTFULLY and looked into my eyes with such saintliness. . . . Ill never forget. Prior to that, I had been a very active, liberal heterodox Catholic, and I was finally hitting the dead end to all of that. The talks I heard from Fr. Benedict that week caused me to embrace orthodoxy.

Awesome!!!!

@Jim5150jvc That's awesome! Hallelujah!

man, your 4:30, uncut style is awesome.

[MarkGauvreau]

Believe it or not, it's because I do not know how to edit videos. I am basically computer illiterate and anything over 4:30 is too long for YouTube. So they're all one long take.

[xleax]

actually there are whole movies posted on YouTube, but I don't know how they do it, cus generally it's 10 min max.

"Your video is limited to 10 minutes and 1024 MB." I guess you come to 1024Mb in 5 minutes..

I agree with you 100% -- I believe Father Groeschel is a living saint as well.

[Fersommling]

I've known of Fr. Groeschel since 1993 when I started listening to WEWN shortwave radio, EWTN's outfit.

I agree. Fr. Benedict is a good and holy priest, a living saint.

This reminds me. Regardless of how you feel about the situation...please pray for Fr Francis Mary Stone. I'm kind of devastated by it. And pray that it doesn't turn away any of his teen audience.  Thanks.

[MarkGauvreau]

Is that the gay priest?

[Frach438]

No the host of Life on the Rock. I can message you a copy of his letter if you like.

[MarkGauvreau]

I googled it. Very sad, but not as devastating as some think. He's one man and the Church remains the Church.

[Frach438]

Well put. I have to stop think like the world if I'm going to be an Oblate.

[MarkGauvreau]

Power and the Glory, Graham Greene. The whiskey priest still administered the Holy Sacraments.

Fr Groeschel is my hero. Grew up in Jersey City like my dad (a former seminarian....Seton Hall). He looks great!  We actually preordered the guide book at a college fair because my daughter's a junior. Sheesh, I still remember holding her in my arms as a newborn!
