Thanks Terry, I must watch this before Mass and confession tomorrow. Anything Padre Pio says is top of my list.
Alas, 'tis only a photo of the good Padre. It's actually a talk by Fr. Ripperger, accenting the utmost need for humility and reverence!. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Thank you, Mario. I’m only halfway through this and already I’m going to make my next reception of Holy Communion with renewed reverence. This reminds me of a conference I attended many years ago when the priest was asked which was a better way to receive, hands or tongue. Father responded by saying that we’d figure that out after crawling in on our bellies towards the altar.
Often times when I listen to Father Ripperger I am filled with a Holy Fear and pray to God that He will not be too hard on me for my ignorance as a layperson. I hope He will not be too hard on us all.
Yes listening to Fr Ripperger is equivalent to getting hit over the head with a brick. He speaks with such clarity and authority that is rare in the Church these days - I have to say he is a most compelling speaker. He talks the talk and walks the walk.
