Young clerics like Fr. Mark Mary give me hope for the Church & our young people. God bless you for the sacrifice of your life, your love of the faithful, & your courage to speak out.🙏❤️

Fr Mark Mary is awesome. This is the first time I’ve watched him speak to a live audience. He’s great! But the best part to me, was his story in the beginning. What a story, what a show of authenticity.

Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and forever shall be. Amen.

Fr. Mark-Mary, thank you for being so real here. You are growing so much spiritually and I'm so happy and proud of you.😭 It's a very very heavy burden that you and your fellow priests have to carry every day, and we, the laity, appreciate your sacrifices so much. I don't know if music works for you when faced with stressful situations but I have an instrumental piece (mostly guitar or piano) ready in my mind that I "play" whenever I'm stressed out. My choice of music is from "Final Fantasy" and "Legend of Zelda" video games these days. Of course I also pray and ask for God's guidance. God bless.🙏🙏

Proverbs 16:19
It is better to be humble with the poor
than to share plunder with the proud.

Saint Matthew 9:13
Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Saint Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.

[Publius-]

Oh my Jesus. Forgive us our sins. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.

Saint John 12:25-27
Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.
“I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
