[888slavic]

Truly God, And his truly man..

Thanks god to giving us People like Grandpa Benedict..

Let's be honest. If you think about it, most people on TV are phoney schmucks. Father Benedict Groeschel is the rare exception. Don't know what he's like off camera but I suspect what you see on tv is what you get. And I think it's safe to say, he has the respect of protestants, Jews, Muslims, and other people of other religions.

Father Benedict Rocks!

Love YOU Father Benedict !

[WStech92]

He talked at my church a few years ago. I have a rosary blessed by him!

[MrOhjok]

I met him on three occasions. A very gifted man, at once holy, at another level, a very regular guy, down to earth. A quick wit with an appreciation for humor. He always left me smiling. He was the essence of a contemplative in action. His was the fulfillment of contemplative prayer. His influence of life and counsel will live on, as enduring as his huge heart.

I remember Father Benedict from back when I was an altar boy at Sacred Heart in Yonkers, many years ago. He left an impresssion on me back then that is still with me today, in 2011. A great man.

praise the Lord!

[jptierno]

If we had more men like Benedict, the cause of Christ would prosper greatly. A true servant, because he chose to follow THE SERVANT... Thank you Father, you have been an inspiration to me. Shalom...

[CatholicDads]

Fr. Benedict, your work and authorship gave me the knowledge and commitment to no longer remain silent, but to speak out in support of the dignity of life. Thank you!

[Cynless22]

Father Benedict is truly a blessing in my life. I personally feel that I am so closed to him even though I have never met him. Praise God for giving us Father Benedict.

[ImGabrielle]

Fr. Groeschel... how much I admire him and how much I've learned from him. He is a wonderful person and a great instrument of Our Lord. God bless you Father!

[armisenugalde]

Awesome. I meet him this summer time... good impression

A TRUE GIFT FROM GOD.......FR Benedict

[Fersomling]

I first heard Fr. Groeschel in 1993 on WEWN, the shortwave radio service of EWTN. He taught me about God, about holiness, about the most important things in life.

I thank God, and I thank Fr. Groeschel.

[NWOpartycrasher]

And call no MAN your FATHER upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

[279cute]

@NWOpartycrasher so do you call your dad in his first name? what does a good father do huh? you are so literal.

[TheGlantzs]

Just saw Fr. B.G. on the Feast of the Holy Innocents in NY at the prayer vigil for life! He and Msgr. Phillip Reilly led over 300 through the heart of Manahattan to an abortion mill. The Blessed Mother was our guide.

[cheesemonkey1990]

I want to be a CFR myself, my Aunt is giving me a book that he wrote about Concecrated life. Fr. Benedict is awesome!

[HectorProtectorv]

DEO GRATIAS!

[TemplarRican]

2 years ago, I shared Easter Mass with Father Groeschel. He didn't have a candle, so I gave him mine. When his candle was brought to him, he told the friar to hand it to me. I like to think that he carried my "light" & I carried his "light".

He is the most influential person in my reversion to Catholicism. It was my dream to meet him & I did. Later that night I got a ride home by Father Apostoli (another great inspiration).

Being in their presence is actually experiencing Sainthood on earth.

[Jesusdolcezza]

Happy Anniversary Father !

You are a blessing to us and I love you .
