[Music] foreign brought to you from the Eternal Word Television Studios in Birmingham Alabama [Music] she in you the love the compassion of Jesus glorious work of all to praise God [Music] lives in God and God Lives [Music] what a wonderful thing is our church this whole network is built on trust the essence of evangelization is to tell everybody Jesus loves you we are all called to be great Saints don't miss the opportunity [Music] [Applause] hi well it's so good to have family here tonight and

I always enjoy family I've told you that a thousand times huh you know the world today is well we we can't say it's mixed up because it is but things happened that you wouldn't even think about even 20 years ago don't you think huh just weird things weird and and I I've wondered and I have been talking to the Lord why is it today is it because Satan is out there or gaining a lot of souls is because we're not close to God that we are not really following the laws of God the Commandments the what

's wrong with the whole world like eight percent of this country go to mass once a month five percent of that country only five percent of the kids are baptized what's wrong and it's not one country it's a lot of countries I had a lawyer contact me yesterday I guess this is true and he said mother there are a lot of countries in the world I have an elections and some countries if they don't get the right people in will lose their sovereignty say oh boy I'm not sure what that is but it sounds pre

tty big the ability to make your own laws make people obey your laws in your country I thought oh I don't think that's very good he said no it isn't he said would you say a prayer that all the countries in the world there's a lot of them England is one Ireland is another there's countries in South America countries in the east all electing new leaders and we know what we went through don't we huh at least we learned to count took us a while but we learned maybe they don't know how to count eithe

r who knows if we love each other we don't want anybody to go through what we went through you know remind me of those little daisies or little flowers when I was your kid you'd pick them up pick one little leaf at a time and he loves me he loves me now he loves me loves me now he loves me loves me not but what do you got nothing I never figured that one out because after you figured out he did or didn't all you got is a stem in your hand and see we don't want that to happen anywhere anymore so

if you're if your country is having an election for whatever see figure it out you know one time our dear Lord the Pharisees are trying to trick him and they didn't know who he was they knew who he was but they didn't want to know who he was and they didn't want to follow him they want a leader that was on a horse and and could destroy they didn't want a leader that's kind and gentle and loving and forgiving and so they kept priding him on who are you how do you do these things and Jesus said th

e father and I are one I only Drew what I see the father do I only say what I hear the father say well I've been going through that all week and I thought maybe that's what's wrong with all of us we don't know what the father is saying then we don't hear we don't see what he's doing in the world and then we don't imitate that so we're going kind of blind kind of like because God is creator he created jewelry created me he told you the real father you know he's just not a big God up there he know

s you who knows every part of you and the Lord said not a hair Falls from your head that he doesn't know it I don't know what he does with those that don't have any hair but thank you but I bet he counted everyone that fell what was he telling you and I he's telling me I know everything about you and I love you we don't know that I would surmise that 90 now you're going to say how do you know I don't know I don't go around counting things I just feel it here 90 I make don't know gods you say oh

come on there Christian Country Day okay then why are we where we are you tell me all these good things I know they're good I know a lot of people are holy a lot of people strive for holiness so if eight percent of a Nation goes to Mass once a month now you think there's something wrong now I can't prove it but maybe I can and I think it's because we don't see you know if a poor man is blind you can't find fault with him if he doesn't know where the door is can't see can't see but I know blind p

eople physically buying are more streets than people who can see because their hearing is sharpened they know more about things that are real than some of us who see but in general do we see what the father does here's a book it tells you all about it tells you all about the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit we just had Pentecost why is this we don't see to see in order to see danger in order to see signs from the Lord in order to see Beauty in order to see goodness in order to see compassion y

ou have to see God so we have to see God in order to be enlightened as to what to do and and how how to discern what's right or wrong you have to be United to God because God is light and if you're not in God then you can't see you say no what are you talking about you're talking about seeing with your eyes no no no no have you ever again lost driving your car somewhere you turn made the wrong turn yeah women do that a lot [Laughter] the difference is that women will admit it and Men won't that'

s the difference but men get lost too and suddenly just like that you feel I should be here do you ever feel that you ever feel I I think I better turn around I'm in the wrong place nobody told you anything there was no no sign saying hey you're in the wrong place something something you saw not with your physical eyes but you saw this is not the right place for me so you turned around a good thing you did see sometimes you do that with people you say you say uh let me say I want you to meet so

and so you have you're feeling good you're you feel very loving and concerned about your neighbor and and you don't you've never seen this person before all of a sudden this person comes up front and you want to go you want to back up you ever have that ever do that usually back up why you saw something that you couldn't have describe but you know this person may be an acquaintance but will never be a friend but you don't know why but you saw something is that not true you've all had that experi

ence you you and that's discernment and that's from the Holy Spirit watch it how many of us have had that experience and didn't pay attention to it then what we've got in trouble you see you saw something but not with these eyes you start with your heart do you wonder why I ever wonder why some people love some people you ever wonder why this person married that person like where were you you don't understand but they saw something you don't see now you made granto I'd never marry that person wh

en nobody asked you to in the first place but this person saw something you didn't see and that's what they love okay now let's say the world look at the world look around the world now you cannot say the world is wonderful the world is yeah but we're so bored with ourselves that we have become bored with God that's why we wanted to clone that's why we want to create but even when you clone you need something God made to clone with you idiot and without God not a thing now you want to make all t

hese people alike oh Lord who wants that but it wants everybody looking alike I saw a whole 10 pigs they're all clones but they all look like the same Pig you can't even eat a pork chop without wondering if it's a cloned pork chop I want a real pork chop I don't want a clone the pork chop you know why because it's full of fat cloned pigs are immense all you're buying is a bunch of fat who wants that we can't do anything without God you know what those who want to clone are blind you say oh no th

ey see oh no they don't they don't see they don't see the consequences they don't see what they're doing because they don't believe in God well who do you believe in if you don't believe in God well there's only one other person Satan or they wouldn't want to do that then who else is there themselves but you didn't create yourself so if you didn't create yourself you're beholden to someone else that someone else is God but see they don't see that that's wrong to do I think I told you all before

we can be sincerely wrong you know in the past I used to have these it at the airplanes you go on an airplane they used to have a place going here from one airplane and then you go there for another airplane well since you're Joseph and I are going through and we were talking and we went one way and we got on the plane and we got up in the air and the man the captain said good morning ladies and gentlemen we will be in Miami in two hours said to Joseph where did he say we'd be she said to Miami

mother I said we're not going to Miami she said we are now [Laughter] and so I called the stewardess and then she was very nice thinking I wanted something important and she said hello Mother how are you I said just fine I said where is this plane going she said Miami I said my sister and I are going to Miami I can't open the doors you are definitely going to Miami would you like a Coke all right the fridge is going to say bourbon or something you know because she looked at me so pitiful like yo

u need something but we were both sincerely wrong did you ever think of that sincerely wrong I think all the people to do things they shouldn't do are sincere wrong they're sincerely wrong when a world gets to a place where it does not need God or it thinks it doesn't you're wrong God is Father his love his compassion his goodness he sent his own son that part of him a second person of the rest of Trinity to die for you or you wouldn't do that for anybody and you know you look at the apostles we

ll we want Jesus with with them they didn't see what he was trying to do he's about to ascend into heaven he's been with them 40 days a resurrected body eating with them drinking with them being with them for 40 days and just before he ascends into heaven they say master will you now restore the Kingdom of Israel you know I learned as infinite patience infinite patients well he goes up anyway you know bye boys I gave you everything you need see you later well they're just looking up we went thro

ugh this last week you know we're just looking up there wondering what to do now and here come two angels what are you doing here look it up let's see had to wait for the Holy Spirit they didn't see Peter said Thou Art the Christ the son of the Living God but he still didn't see that the kingdom that is here and the kingdom to come is a kingdom of spiritual Kingdom that prepares the soul to meet God and that's why you need prayer that's why you need to pray you know I've often thought we we came

from Ohio we've been here almost 40 years and um I see I have people here I love but I didn't know them in Ohio are there other people in Ohio I love and now we're in Hansville so there's people enhance him the hands that we love did you ever Dawn on you that if you weren't there at that point these wonderful people that you love now you would never love because you never have a chance to see them I have to see I have to know before I can love I have to know who created this world I get a littl

e thing in the mail and it's one of these astronomy things you know where you where these are astronomers see new things all the time and they're getting bigger and bigger and they don't know where it ends and they're going unbelievable speeds away from us and and I'm always amused when they come out with something they never knew before I think it's hilarious these smart men I mean they are they got the smarts but they're saying there is this thing out there and we don't know what it is yet thr

ee cheers for you you're looking at God but you don't know it You Don't See I'll never forget Mrs Michael and I mentioned her a thousand times had bone cancer and every kind of cancer and they had her on a piece of a wool sheep's wool and if she turned around she'd breakable I I want to see her and I said how are you Mrs Michael she said fine thank you I looked at her and I said fine she said yes should I had to sign my daughter to my sister today because I'm dying and I want her to have a home

her face was radiant and I couldn't I couldn't get my eyes off of her because she was so beautiful oh she's emaciated not that kind of beauty it was like you could see God in her and we talked a little bit and I told her we'd pray for her and she'd oh thank you praise God I couldn't get over somebody is physically dying of a very painful death that could smile and say thank you praise God she saw something nobody around her saw in fact the nurses said to me I wish you'd go and see Mrs Michael yo

u'll be surprised so why would I be surprised going to see anybody but I what greatly surprised she saw something I didn't see I saw her pain I saw her total misery I saw her that she couldn't even turn around I saw her at death's door having signed away her only daughter because her husband left her when he heard she had cancer but she still saw something nobody around her could see most people would have been bitter unhappy to say the least revengeful she was I think the most christ-like indiv

idual I've seen because she saw something in that misery and pain nobody else saw otherwise you could have never been content contents a lot of people don't see the action of God and all the things that are happening some people see signs real signs we don't see we don't hear we're very involved in the things of the world you see and and that's why I'm going to say this prayer that this poor man is lawyer who loves his country and but there are other countries all over the world that are on a br

ink of great decisions for God or against God for life or against life I'm going to get some letters mine Noah I know it I can see him flying through the post offices and they're going to say to me mother you're getting involved in politics no I'm getting involved in God I don't give a hoot about politics it's not my business but I am interested in God's ways and God's laws for his sake I want you to see the consequences of all your actions that's why we're going to pray for all the teenagers th

ey don't see they see they're going to go to the ocean they're going to swim they're going to do this so they're going to do that oh you're going to be free that's what you're going to be free of what well now mother you're living in the old ways there is no old way there's only one way you're gonna face God you you just can't talk to yourself out of reality you are responsible for this vacation of yours you go around having affairs and doing strange things because you're going to have fun no yo

urs making that road down very slippery and you're blind because you don't see the danger you don't see any danger that's why today we need to ask our dear Lord is it a gift everything from God is a gift is it a Grace yes but you have to pray for it what would you say if I say to you all you teenagers that God wants you to live a celibate chaste life all summer and the rest of your life until you're married ha ha choose between dreaming a man and an infant being enlightened or blind choose God h

as a right to expect goodness from us and Holiness from us and love from us and compassion from us and forgiveness whatever country you're in no you have to vote if you do vote whatever it is you do pray for your particular country why because what may happen to it tomorrow or the next day or the next week or the next year pray for your country that God will bless it that God will give it light our country was always a Praying country now the law says you can't pray you can't do this you can't d

o that but you can't have an abortion now you see there's something wrong here very wrong we don't see anymore see what I mean by we don't see that this is serious isn't it that you can commit a murder of an innocent child and it's okay you have freedom but you can't say a prayer at a public gathering are we also blind that we don't see what America needs and what the whole world needs is to see to see what is right and what is wrong and how did it get that way sure tonight I'm going to say a pr

ayer to Saint Kevin who is Saint Kevin I have no idea if you're Irish maybe you know who Saint Kevin is I can't pronounce where he's from he's a miracle worker of Glenn dog Glenda log or something like that I don't think where he is now in heaven he cares that I mispronounce his birthplace or whatever but I want to say this prayer first I thought no I can't do that everybody going to think I'm Irish and I'm not I'm Italian but I pray I pray prayed for any other country they think I was from that

country now I'm now I'm an American and I hope that I love the whole world foreign s we are obliged by God to live the men of every race every color every Creed and every nation that's my obligation especially since we're all over the world and reached so many people in different places from the jungles to the desert to the mountains from east to west and north to south we reach it all I must be concerned about the goodness and the love of my brother and sister why because we share the same fat

her that God that breathed the soul into my little face breathe the soul into you he is Our Father and true for every nation in this world those who have freedom and those who do not those who have lost it and those who have given it away those who possess and those who do not possess to those who have more than they need and those who have absolutely nothing for those countries that are starving and those who are well fed to the world which I say this prayer Saint Kevin Shepherds and guardian o

d I woke up feeling like there is no way I can go to this place I I want to be at home with my kids and so I uh stayed home today and I played with him and I stopped at nap time and I said Lord I'm a sinner but can't you please tell me won't you help me make this decision do I fulfill an obligation I made to these people to keep this job and to help my husband with income because we're on a very tight budget or do I stay at home be the stay-at-home Mommy that I feel fulfilled to do and uh take w

hat lumps I take in the financial world and I would like your opinion regarding that you know I want to remake decisions uh we have to we have to judge beforehand is what I'm deciding for the glory of God or from my glory is what I'm deciding for the goods of my family or only my good is a decision I marry I'm thinking of going to harm my neighborhood what is called scandal will I be totally selfish of this if it's God's will it has to have good fruit if it's going to cause heartache arguments y

ou have to put it aside and say Lord you tell me what to do you see God will tell us he's our father he's our brother he's everything to us yeah he's everything to us that he wants to be everything to us we always have to judge any decision we want see that's why we're in the predicament we are in a simple thing like credit cards credit cards what's that got to do with God well if you keep buying and you don't have the money it has a lot to do with God it's a form of stealing oh you say really y

eah if you run up your credit card to say twenty thousand dollars and you make 18 000 a year you get the hit you got the hint well you better get it ahead of time you see somebody because we don't see we don't see a lot of people will buy and buying buying they say well just go bankrupt oh what about the poor guy you owed all that money to and then you start all over again you get another credit card then you buy buy and buy and buy see the will of God the goodness of God goes in every part of o

ur lives every part of our decisions even the credit card that's how we know God's will do I need it is it because I need it or I want it I bet you wouldn't buy one tenth of what you buy if you judge by that term do I need it or is it because I want it well I'll make a bet you're going to be in trouble if you only buy what you want you got to buy what you need and if you can buy it and can't pay for it then you don't need it yeah oh yeah well I like that that's the point my friend you see you go

t the point you don't eat it we have another car hello hi Mother this is Mandy from Oxford Illinois and where are you from Rockford Illinois where Rockford Illinois okay go ahead okay and my question is I receive communion in my hands and my dad gets it on the tongue and I was wondering if it was more respectful to get it on the tongue than the hands oh I we are talking about respect I think on the tongue I can see all the clergy getting apoplexy at this point your father receives on the tongue

you see I think what we have to understand is that uh when we talk about the Eucharist we're talking about more than respect you can have respect and you must have respect for each other you must have respect for the elderly you must have respect for the young we have to have respect for each other that's a part of God's law it says I love you so I respect you how much more you you could never go to England go past the guards to see her majesty Queen Elizabeth and say hi Mom how are you and chew

gum you have to have you have to be just right you you have to have an invitation you have to have everything necessary to show grandioso respect for her majesty how much more how much more the son of God you see we don't see that awesome Majesty because he has hidden himself a little host so you're not afraid so he could come into your very heart and mind and soul and love you and take care of you and let you see right from wrong you cannot have too much respect we genuflect before we now I kn

ow we're all excited well you're going to trip somebody behind you I haven't seen one person tripped yet I'll pick them up myself sweetheart think of what you're doing I am receiving the body blood soul and Divinity of Jesus Son of God I couldn't do this see now you're permitted you're permitted even by the Holy See to do either one I do have a hard time though when I see someone going to chameleon chewing gum and then taking the hostess rate put it in your mouth you mean what are you doing what

do you do you're blind you are blind to who you're receiving you see we receive it on the tongue and both is permitted as I say and many people receive communion on the hand very respectfully but then we find hosts under pews in books on the floor I saw a man take it and put it in his shirt I don't understand that let's see I have a hard time with it it's permitted if you're asking me I am the wrong one dad I have to advise that you receive our dear Lord on your tongue thank him they thank you

Jesus I love you thank you for coming to poor sinful me I love you respectfully and lovingly that's that's what he wants I think your heart has to decide for you how you receive our dear Lord some people genuflect some people bow some recognition of who you are receiving so we don't have time for things like this time went so fast isn't it huh we only got two minutes I love you God loves you and we have to love each other see but we cannot live just being ourselves or hateful or revengeful or un

forgiving or lacking and compassionate we must begin we have to change we have to ask Jesus to change us two new creatures a new world new hearts a new love a new kindness you can do it he can do it well I've got 45 seconds and don't forget you figure out how we go through this month and I'll let you know how we're going through this month we're going to do this Network worldwide together for Jesus that's our gift to the world love kindness and goodness and don't forget pray for our teenagers as

they go on their vacations may they also change come one with Jesus well I'll see you again tomorrow night bye now [Applause] [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music]
