Our broken spirits and our contrite hearts is what we have to offer on the altar at every mass. Bring our brokenness to Lord Jesus every day and ask for his Grace and mercy.
Bless us lord to be humble to be meek and poor in spirit. Without you Lord, we are nothing, we can do noting and we are nothing. Please bless us with the grace to repent and return to you right now. Amen

Thank you Fr.Warner for giving us a detailed explanation of the historical background, the political situation, the social conditions, while explaining every verse.
I truly appreciate the trouble taken by you to leave no stone unturned to provide spiritual guidance. You have given priority to proclaiming the Word of God although you were ill.
God bless you and protect you always 🙏 Fr.Warner May the Precious Blood flowing from the Sacred Wounds of Jesus cover you and protect you always 🙏

[lindabotelho]

My takeaway for today- The Lord is Merciful and He wants to be Our Saviour. But when we refuse He becomes Our Judge.
Thanks a million for praying for the sick, the lonely and especially those who need to come back to Goa.
God bless you 🙏 Fr.Warner

Thanks Fr. Heart-touching teaching. Thanks specially for your final words, on Jesus being either our Saviour or Judge, depending upon our attitude, on praying for the sick, and for repentance of those who reject God. Can't tell you how deeply your teaching stirs me everyday. I pray for you daily. May you find peace and acceptance.

Dear Fr Warner, Jeremiah under God's instruction shatters a clay jar to symbolise the irreversible effects of sin. This teaches us that some people's lives are so broken by sin that it would be difficult for them to be repaired. Still today God offers mercy to those who repent & lead righteous lives. Liked your words 'God wants to be our Saviour but when we say no, He becomes our judge. Thank you for your treasurable teaching, & blessing prayers for all who do not believe in God, the sick & the aged. God bless you always. 🙏 💕

Thank you Fr Warner for explaining Jeremiah Chapter 19 so clearly about the earthenware jar.
God Bless. 🙏💕🇨🇦

Thank you for your manner of speaking to us - like family, like long lost common sense and human decency. Your words are appreciated and help make the day endurable and patience grow

Thank you Fr Warner
Your bible study gives history, good explanations, causes me to examine my life, to surrender some more to the Lord and to share the blessing of your teaching and Gods's power of intervention in my life. Thank you for offering up you illness and pain as you continue to be obedient to Almighty God. I pray that you will always see His Hand on you life. God bless you Father🙏

[rohinilewis]

So true, Fr. God wants to be our saviour and how, so often because of our free will, we make him our judge. 🙏

[kalpanasangma]

First time learning from you the proper explanation of the chapters of the Bible.Following without fail.Thank you father, I too am stubborn, arrogant before God now I realised it before too late.God gives me strength to follow His teachings wisely.

[theresasoon]

[pg]

Loved the way you rightfully said in the concluding lines God wants to be our Saviour but wen we don't he becomes Our Judge everyday is a learning to straighten our lives according to God's Will..have a blessed day Fr

God bless you Father Warne😊r😊😊😊

[sandrajacob]

Fr. pray for me & give me the power to remember. Heal my watering eyes.

I am not well versed with the Chapter of Isaiah...but I do get reading from it during prayer and today this verses came to me and it was so similar to what we are studying here. Actually my reading was Chapter 30 Verse 20, 21.After reading that my eyes fell upon on the left side readings Verse 8 -14 and it is exactly like what we are studying right now in Jeremiah. How terrible the way King Ahaz and King Manessah sacrificed their children😢..to top it up having rooftop shrines for their fake idols.God judges first those who are closest to Him...God can be our Saviour or our Judge...true words Father Warner.And God has given us free will to choose ...it's up to us to choose life or death...light or darkness ...God or Satan...heaven or hell....Salvation or eternal damnation😢😢. I am late ..will catch up by Sunday.Thank you Father for the finest explanations❤

[marydecruz]

Dear Fr. Warner I look forward to your enriching Teachings because I'm absolutely ignorant of the OT. God to me is All Goodness and does not have in His vocabulary all the wrath mentioned in these Scriptures - simply a way of describing the misery we bring upon ourselves! God is All-Knowing and He knows perfectly well what the Babalonians are going to do in the future and permits it (free will) and in His Goodness warns us, pleading with us to Repent. Right up to our present day we too have our idol worship, corruption, etc.
Thank you again Fr. Warner for your enlightening Teachings which help us to be more deeply aware of the signs of our times and accordingly be prophetic - seek guidance of the Holy Spirit and follow Jesus Christ without compromises
Love and prayers for your good health

[lindarodrigues]

Thank you Father...a strong teaching though very well explained.... Yes I do pray for the people I know are away from the church.

Dear Fr. Warner, as i listened again todays reflection while i was travelling back home, i had a sense how unfaithful and stubborn i was with God, that there was desire to fall on on my kness and ask for forgiveness and mercy. I also pray those close to me also experience repentant heart.
