What does it really mean to deny yourself and take up your cross?
One of the most stirring images for me has always been seeing photos of long lines outside of recruiting stations whenever war had broken out. These brave men understood the grave threat of the enemy and were willing to lay down their lives to keep us safe and free. They denied themselves and took up their cross.
And there is that COURAGEOUS RESOLVE. They had absolutely no desire to think twice about their decision. It was a dire need! It was the right thing to do! Where do I sign up? I’M GOING IN!
THIS is our time! THIS is our battle! We are GOD’S CHAMPIONS!
Let’s deny ourselves and pick up that cross and GET IN THE GAME!

The seven promises given to St Bridget of Sweden for those who devote themselves to her Seven Sorrows.
1. I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries.
3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work.
4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother.
7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Thank you, Father. A very nice meditation for us to continue coming back to whenever we need a bit of guidance.
A large part of U.S. military recruitment is driven by the interests of politicians and corporations that prioritize financial gain over the safety and well-being of the American people. These decision-makers often push for foreign conflicts, not out of genuine national security concerns or humanitarian needs, but to benefit industries tied to defense spending, such as weapons manufacturers and private military contractors. The soldiers recruited become pawns in a larger strategy of domination, securing resources, and maintaining geopolitical power. This approach ignores the human cost, treating the lives of both American service members and civilians in conflict zones as expendable. Instead of fostering peace or protecting real national interests, it perpetuates instability and enriches those in power while ordinary people pay the price.
You're being emotional and nostalgic over something that is inherently evil. I'm not referring to defending the country when it's genuinely under threat, but to being the aggressor—sending people overseas like lambs to the slaughter. Christ, on the other hand, loves His sheep and gives His life for them, unlike these war-hungry politicians who sacrifice others for their own gain.
May God bless and protect you and your holy vocation, dear Father; all who hear you, by the grace of God; and our nation. May God bless, protect and renew America as one nation under the True God. Deo gratias. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
Thank you Father Heilman. May God bless and protect you 🙏 ❤
Love your talks Fr. Heilman.

Arguing God’s word is sinful:
In 2 Timothy 2:15-16, we are instructed to study and show ourselves approved unto God—but we are to shun profane and useless babbling, for it will increase more ungodliness. We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all else will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). Debating God’s word to carnal minds will get you absolutely nowhere (Romans 8:7). God will never reveal His mind to a deliberate stranger; neither will He hear the prayers of a deliberate stranger (John 9:31, Proverbs 28:9). Those who truly want to get to know God and His son will seek Him and His righteousness first, not the opinions of others. Amen.
Thank you, Father. We need these pep talks. I'm going in!!!! LONG LIVE CHRIST THE KING!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Father thank you so much for this mornings pep talk. Last night we attended a candle light service for one of the high school football players that our son coaches. He was killed in a car accident. Also the lady that hit them died. 5 players were in the car and the student driving ran the stop sign. Two boys of the five were hospitalized. One is in critical condition with brain trauma. He may be paralyzed. The driver needs much love and prayers. That now is my mission of prayer. Our son is bearing a heavy cross. Please pray. Thank you
God Bless you too Fr. Heilman. Much needed talk this morning.
And how many more lives could have been saved if America had stayed out of the wars.
Not the first, eighter the second not was the interrest of America
Those was the interrest of the money and power hungers,just like all war around the time of the history
Im Hungarian we was defend Europe with our German allies,our country,against the Bolshevik devil,who destroyed faith ,moral,peace and everything,with the help of America.
Jesus Christ has always proclaimed peace"Peace be with you"
But the power and money makers always voted in favor of wars,both in past and present/Tora,and talmud/.
Now this lie is called "the name of democracy"
America's enemy is its own lie,in the present
What a pathetic,and sad things this is
America never will learn from history
And who woll payed the price?
Not the rich and billionaires,but the childrens,and innocents https://youtu.be/3Y1Z1y2PSNw?si=deFC4C9sAyOXjVJo
Today, we are experiencing the result, the seeds of which were sown in the bloody years of the Second World War, such as the thoughts of István Gerencsér, the deputy propaganda director of the city of Zalaegerszeg, on March 7, 1945, in the hour of the final battle, about the hypocritical humanisms – exchanging the names of the historical characters and the historical situation – they could have seen the light of day even yesterday.Just as the real war criminals, Churchill, Stalin and the other citizens of the world always hid behind world-improving and democratizing ideas, so today the butchers in Gaza, the background figures of full-fledged globalism, representing godless liberalism and multicultism, are doing the same, gray, spiritually and humanly. dozens of insignificant politicians, the "LGBTQ activists", or many others, whom perhaps even twenty pages would not be
Thank you, Father Heilman!
Thank you Father for this introduction to battle because that’s exactly what it is! We need to stay strong and not give in to the world. The demon attacks are coming one on top of another. Bless you and all at Grace Force! 🥰
Let us model the essence of Christ as simply a relational principle in which two entities work together and resolve their differences and fuse into a higher order entity.
Evil is evil i don't vote eny evil!!!
Thank you Father for these inspiring words! ❤️🙏✝️ God bless you
The great warning movie is coming to theaters on October 17 2024
Amen father ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God bless you
Thank you for the pep talk Father Rick. Speaking for myself I say it helps.
God bless you Father, for courageously, preaching Christ truth! I am outraged that our Church leaders have failed us. The majority of our bishops and cardinals should be ashamed of themselves. We have good courageous priests, holy men, who correctly preach the truth, helping to lead us to salvation. And yet our Church leaders not only stay silent and actively work to shut them up, but they also say things that are directly contrary to our own catechism. There will be a reckoning. They should be looking to their souls rather than their comfort.
🙏✝️🥰❤️🤗
AMEN! Thank you, Father. Blessings.
I'm going in too!!! God bless you Father!!!!!
God bless you, Father. I really needed these talks. May God with His angels and saints protect and strengthen us all.
Dear Father Hellman, I am very grateful to you for your time and clerical leadership in encouragement and helping us to seek greater courage and spiritual strength. Yes, it is a challenge in this world that is rampant with satan to move forward and become a true apostle in carrying the cross and staying with our Lord. Thank you again and may Christ continue to bless you every moment of each and every day.
Bless you Fr. Heilman.
Thank you for this Father, I needed to hear this. Praying for the grace to carry it out in my life
✨💪🏼✝️🛡️✨ … ✨❤️✨ … ✨🙏🏼✨
It sounds like you want to get violent and subvert democracy to me. Your rhetoric is warmongering. You should be careful.
Blessings
Wow that's a great talk Fr Richard ☺️ thank you I needed to hear it 🙏🌹🙏
Thank you, Father for listening to The Holy Spirit – and for your example of active Christianity for us
Thank you Father, I am so blessed to have found your channel, we need more holy men of courage like you. Thank you for leading us in the fight!
Your guidance is always so valuable. Thank you, father Heilman.
All in Father! ❤🙏🙏
