In a polarized world and in a polarized church, God asks us to be Saints. Thank you for this powerful talk!

The idea of the Church taking on the infirmities of the world in parallel to Christ is probably one of the best analogies for what the Church is intended for - not utopia, but rather the mystical body of Christ, immune to the ailments of the world.

Thank you, Monsigner, for your words and true teaching. Your words are needed so badly. God Bless you 🙏

Possibly the most inspiring and hopeful video I’ve seen about where the Church is today. Thank you, Monsignor

[innocentanderson]

[raphaelpali]

Monsignor Shea!!! I hear the voice of a lover of Christ here. This sounds like a litany of Praise to God our redeemer!!!!

[maillemacanaugh]

This was really hope filled and beautiful. I’ll try to keep it in mind when I start feeling bogged down but the extremes.

[carolhensen]

Not bored, interesting history, oh do I need a redeemer, I embrace Jesus everyday to cleanse me of my selfishness, each day is a new blessing……Thank you Msgr…I pray for you and all Priests doing God’s work…….God Bless

[sheasheagirl]

I pray to be a Saint every day, and to you, my brothers and sisters, I will pray for you, too.

[ceciliaserrano]

Thank you Msgr James❤ you summarized the history of the Church and connected it to our present n future destiny of becoming a saint, to respond to the call of loving the Church, our family as we love Jesus the head🙏 Praise be Jesus Christ🙏

[JPGoertz]

Exceptional. Really. I learnt a lot about the nature of the Church as the Body of Christ, which suffers and bears the wounds until the end of time... Thank you and God bless you, Father Shea and FOCUS!

[LLandMeTV]

“I can help you be happier “ 😂🤣😂🤣 I love this pastor

[atlas]

Wow, incredible talk. I pray this spreads far and wide. Your message about not falling into utopian thinking when it comes to the Church or in our personal lives resonated deeply with me, and was a salve for the many times I’ve given into that very temptation. Thank you!

[carinacristianoheart]

I can help you to be happier! Love it! Understanding the history counts! Utopia based on lie that we ride over trouble to dis utopia 18:00! Such a wonderful heart felt and much needed teaching! Every single age, the church takes it in, all of it! As Jesus did … Christianity isn’t a utopia solution! Called to live in this time. Thank you for a phenomenal call to be Saints! Experience the incredible love of Jesus. ♥️🙏✝️‼️

[frsandeepmenezes]

A beautiful and wholesome teaching on the Church! You made me fall in love with the Church again

[ErnstServil]

He is so bright and wise! I have not been to church for so long.
