Thank you Ken for your honesty. It has really opened up my mind to self reflect. I listen to your KZread channel every day and so appreciate you and Janelle. With your help I’m working on being a better Catholic. Thank you.

What a unique priest and a great saint! Saint John Vianney pray for us 🙏🏻 Thank you for your message.. God bless you and your beautiful family

Dearest saint in the making Ken; I now that I will never be anyway near being a saint but I most certainly would like to take this journey with you.

What a message! Wonderful Right now I'm thinking of who I can share this with...I'm so excited to hear this. I live with one of my daughters and her family. She's not a very good Catholic (to my sorrow) she is an E&C Catholic and perhaps 1 or 2x per year. I share a room with my granddaughter, she sees me praying, she's been joining me at night with some prayers. Her favorite is Chaplet of Divine Mercy that your children say. Thank you God bless you and your family. 🙏❤💙🙏

Thank you for sharing your humble and honest reflection. Very helpful for me and the ministry I am in. Satan is so sneaky but you have exposed him. Bless you.

I learn something every single time I listen to this program. I am so thankful you are an honest person who struggles with things that sometimes we feel alone in. Please pray for me as I pray for you. God bless you and your beautiful family

Ken thank you for this teaching today. Amazing to hear about the ripple effects not only of sin but of the graces in Confession. Did not know about that one. Wow! St. Jean Vianney - pray for us. On your personal sharing, I want to say that is one of the reasons I listen to you and Janelle - I love your honesty and openness. Its real and that’s why it is so impactful and inspiring. Thank you for your humility and vulnerability today. Self knowledge is imperative in growing in holiness and no doubt you have inspired many now (myself included) to start or continue to look within and offer all to Jesus for sanctification. Bless you and your family.

Awesome to listen to! I am in the journey with you! Did not realize about the effect of confession on the church! Also did not realize doing my chores responsibilities everyday helps other people. Thank you!

Thank you for this inspiring reflection. Watching from the Philippines. Praise God for your beautiful family! :)

That’s why I don’t stop watching your videos. Your honesty, your practicality, your willingness to share your humanity and your family with us. Prayers for you your family and your ministry. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ken, the Lord loves you, Janelle loves you, and my wife & I love you. Thank you for your honesty and your call for us to join you in our struggles.

God Bless you and your beautiful family ~ I love your openness ~ your humble 💕 hearts.

Thank You 🙏🏽 4 Sharing I CONFESS 2JESUS DAILY & GIVE MY OWN PENANCE AS WARRANTED…HARSH AT TIMES 😭 Would B HONORED ❤ 2 JOIN YOU‼️ Stay Blessed Always 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️‼️

I am thankful to the Lord for having you and Janelle as His instruments to provide hope, love and light to me ( and to a lot of others). Thanks for doing His will. I pray to our Lady and ask Her to take you in her arms as she had baby Jesus. 🙏🏼

Very powerful, Ken! Love your knowledge and honesty!

Thank you for your humble and honest sharing Ken. Jesus loves you and I know you love Him too. It's your contrite heart that hesitates to admit this in the Light of His unimaginable love. May God continue to bless you and your ministry 🙂

Very touching piece! It's easy to get caught up in the accolades of serving Jesus. As a Cathecetical leader and faith formation teacher, I've experienced your exact feelings. I find myself asking for grace to serve for the glory of God. Along with these feelings, come moments of fear that I could lead children astray with inaccurate information. The weight of the incredible responsibility of teaching children about the faith can get heavy at times. I believe the devil does try to rattle me through these feelings.😬 Keep up the good work! You are touching many souls.

Yes the devil does do this but no worries. If the devil is attacking that means you are his enemy and you are doing God’s Will. So smile and ask Jesus to work and teach, love etc through you and just go with the flow with confidence in Him!

Ken this was one of the best talk's I've heard from you. In the light of hard things that are going on in the Catholic church it gave me some hope, that our will to confess can bring good for the whole Church. And this is what we need in the time of hardship. Thank you for your ministry. Blessings from Slovenia

You are so welcome. Thank you very much for watching and for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas.

My dear brother in Christ. I feel the love of Christ radiate through you. Introspection is a great gift from the Holy Spirit so remember the evil one will infiltrate. For me I always think the playground of the mind is where the evil one thrives while Jesus lives in the heart. Getting from the mind to he heart is my constant battle. Your vulnerability is a blessing to us all. Feel my hug. M

I’m all in with you and Janelle on this journey. We are all human therefore we all have feelings of failing to love Christ from time to time and doing things with mixed feelings. None of us are saints yet. Sometimes i feel like the old saying fake it till you make it comes into play. I’ve learned to accept that and i take it as my mustard seed. It will grow if I do things anyway. I always come around from the dry spells or selfish motivations that need to get in check by utilizing the Sacraments He gave us. That is also why Christ gave us Confession. I love this sacrament. We are all jsut trying and we all need to help each other on this road. I know Janelle and you help me so I Thank you for helping me on the journey. We just all need to keep praying for each other. Let me assure you, your ministry is a gift and if you doubt your reasonings sometimes that is okay because God makes good out of all circumstances. God bless you and your family.

Praying for you, Ken. You are not alone in this battle. God loves you too much that He has to show you those parts of you that He needs you to bring to Him. You have a beautiful ministry. You and Janelle, are an inspiration to many of us. Keep running that good race. Never give up. We are all in this together in Jesus Christ, Our Beloved. ❤🙏😌

A Huge Thank you to Ken and Janelle for helping us to prepare Our Souls to receive Our Lord this Christmas. Also let's pray for all Souls in purgatory.

Thank you for sharing, Ken! Your insight and openness is so helpful for me!!

Thanks for watching. God bless Laura.

Thank you for opening your heart so powerfully and emotionally. You brought tears to my eyes. In serving, we must always be careful that we do things for the right reasons. But correctly you stated, we must continue to serve and pray that we know ourselves and our motives. In secular things, in my job, I often say, "fake it to make it" when tasked with something that I'm unsure that I can manage. I guess in our spiritual life, in our mission to bring others to the faith, the same thing applies, we must just keep on with our prayers and our service to our Lord and Savior and continue to evaluate our heart and our motives.

Thanks for the encouragement to frequent confession. That sacrament is a great grace.

Wow!!! This is so enlightening and encouraging. Thank you so much. God bless you!

I am so in love with this ministry and the amazing family in charge. A saint never gives up no matter what is thrown at them. Ken, u are a beautiful saint-in-the-making and ur honesty shows us a true heart of gold. Never stop trying for good and for God. God Bless u all in so many ways and God Bless the whole world.

Wow, Ken. You were certainly meant to share your personal encounter with Our dear Lord Jesus! I know exactly what you are saying and have felt and known that my motives and intentions were not pure. In the second Sorrowful Mystery- I pray for purity in my thoughts, words, deeds, and intentions. Thank you for all that you do for all of us. What a powerful reflection today. May God Abundantly Bless you and Janelle and your beautiful children❣️

I have felt very similar in my feelings at times about my love for the Lord. But it is still love. love is a choice. And you choose to love and try for him everyday Ken. He is the good father and he would be pleased that we would even reflect this way. We would love if our own children shared this feeling with us not question if they were good or loving children. We think this way because we want to please him and love him the right away. Such a beautiful suffering. Only God is perfect love. I am literally saying this to you as a fellow Catholic and an outsider who never told this to myself. I thank the Holy Spirit for speaking to both of us at this moment. Much love to you and your family Ken. God bless. 🙏🏼

When I became ill, every Saturday I would go up to our small church and go to confession before Mass. Some days I would be to sick to stay. Getting diagnosed with a chronic illness has scared me. This morning, I was looking for your rosary and a speaker came up about St. Padre Pio. He heard many confessions too. One lady kept coming in and saying the same sin. Padre Pio got up and slammed the door. I learned that day, you cannot confess a sin and not change your ways. I am not saying I do this, but I feel when I don’t attend Sunday Mass, I should have that door slammed in my face. The priest has told me that it is ok to be anxious and fearful when you don’t feel good. As long as your sickness is not a spreader. Also in the message Padre Pio said, “when you die, Jesus is going to meet you and ask you if you want to be with him. This gladdened my heart, but I know my work here on earth is not finished. I need to do my part while I am still alive and make sure the confessional door is not being slammed.

Thank you Ken.....praying for you and your family.....you spoke to my heart....or should I say the Jesus in you spoke to the Jesus in me. God bless!

Incredible insight, Ken. I believe that all of us are on a journey to be pure in our motivations, no matter what we do. I, like you want to continue that quest for purity in my actions. The tools of the sacraments certainly assist us. Don't be too hard on yourself; on an individual basis, you are bringing me up higher. Thank you for for sharing your thoughts and work. My prayers are with you.

Thank you so much bro ken...sharing your feeling of what you have confess...i am servant serving in our church ...pray for me too...

Beautiful Ken! The Lord enlightened me of that myself and I am 67 years old. So every day when praying the Rosary I add the intention, Lord place a right motive, a Holy motive, an UNSELFISH motive within me, doing everything and working always for You Lord! You are young and what a blessing for you to receive this enlightenment at such a young age! You are truly blessed Ken! I look forward to your reflections tomorrow. Love them! God bless!

Thank you so much Ken! We are on this journey with you and Janelle! I pray every day to be purified and without confessions it would not be possible. We praise you Jesus and thank for all your blessings and Mercies ❤️‍🔥🙏✝️✝️✝️

Thank you so much for sharing. God is so good. He works in beautiful ways to show us how much HE loves us. You and yanelle have helped me grow in my faith with your humble and sincere hearts. Thank you for this message of hope and love❤️🙏❤️

Ken, thank you so much for sharing this! I have recently started posting my reflections upon dialy mass readings on whatsapp status, because I realised how we as catholics really need to work on reading and meditating the Word of God, and I find myself asking the same question. Why am I doing this? The first motive was right, but after a while I started to seek for the feedback. I was constantly checking views and new messages to see if my reflection had any impact on others, and I figured I was doing it for my satisfaction more then I was doing it for the glory of God. Moreover, my job suffered because of the time given to this task. But, as you said, this is the process of cleaning our motives and we should be patient with ourselves just as God is patient with us and use the sacrament of confession to start over again every time we fail. God bless you and thank you again!

So part way through this ,I paused , quickly changed, and just made it to our 9 am mass!!! Thank you. After mass , I hit play and I feel that this next confession might be my first in spiritual truth. Thank you again.

I can imagine Jesus watching this with such love for you His faithful servant. He loves you with all of His heart, He sees your efforts, kindness, goodness and humanity.

Thank you for your honesty. I think many of us feel like you do and often question ourselves. I needed to hear your explanation on confession. I loved it. God Bless you and your family. ❤️✝️🙏🏼😊

I’m jumping in there with you Ken. The Holy Spirit is showing us in his Divine Will all over the world with his grace. Thank you for helping us grow in the Divine Will of the Lord, Jesus, Mary, and Luisa Piccarreta as well as Janelle and your beautiful children, Amen! 💖

Thank you for sharing

Ken, You usually tell of situations that I've struggled with too. Probably all of your listeners experience the same things. Don't be too hard on yourself. You seem to be a good man. We all like to do good things. We can always second-guess ourselves. I believe our Lord forgives any time.

Very thought provoking meditations today. Be assured that you are helping and motivating many people and your work is highly appreciated! Praying for you and thank you for all your efforts 🙏 God. bless you and your family 🙏

Thank you to both of you always wonderful and insightful God bless

Loves yr reflection on St John Vianney. HV a book about him where I learnt about him. Much of what you said... Tku for the insight of doing well what we must.. our duties.. Not the easiest. Ha ha what kind of tune the devil's were singing 🤣 The attacks increased B4 a great sinner would come to confession.. wow. Missed Janelle Tku for making yourself sooo vulnerable. Our motives...yes often so subtly hidden. All I HV to do is be good at being me. Wow. N Love Jesus in my present circumstances n do the basic thing. Do my duties with excellece.

I admire your raw honesty and courage for reflecting on your past weaknesses. I really look forward to these reflections and find myself motivated to want to follow your example. We need to ask for the Holy Spirit to be activated within us. God bless you and your family!

I just listened to 12 minutes and 48 seconds of bits of information and inspiration that I've never heard. You touched me; you touched my soul. This just might be the single most important (to me) talk that I've heard on Catholic Minute. Thank you. God bless you and Janelle and your children!

Thank GOD and you for another good Catholic Orthodox video, Ken! It was enlightening to hear all that you said about Fr. John Vianney - the Cure` de Ars. What you said about the real widespread evil effects of any mortal sin, no matter what, I have always experiencially known (the hard way) and believed for years - in other words that mean the same thing: all mortal/grave matter sin - no matter how private, no matter how hidden, no matter how 'by one's self - is a "victimless sin". First of all, the evil done against Almighty GOD, then the evil done against one's own soul - and maybe against one's own body ... the same being true if the sin is committed with another person - against that person's soul and (depending on the type of sin) body. That same serious sin then has second, third, and fourth order evil effects in the Church (es), the human founded churches, and in the world - usually against the innocent and less fortunate people! May GOD richly bless and protect you, Janelle, and your family!

What a great message, and thank you both for your time and ministry it has inspired me and my journey with Jesus!

Thank you so much this is what I’ve been struggling with with myself. You gave me hope I was becoming discouraged. God bless you

Awh Ken i am so touched and you humble me....i find my self many times throughout the day thinking to myself am i doing Gods will ..am i being selfish asking God for help or forgiveness..... Me being selfish or not sharing my faith with others...My Lord is guiding me and showing me things that he wants me to help grow is church.....not easy....

Thank you Ken, I struggle at times as well with how I serve my Lord. My desires verses the reality of what I am able to do. I didn't realize that being faithful to my circumstances helped others, thank you. Please know that we pray for you and Janelle daily, we are all on this journey together ❤️

Thank you for this Ken! What a pep talk!🙌 Gives a great and powerful new meaning to my daily duties. Such a humble sharing of yourself. My ministry has not at all been like yours but I'm grateful for experiencing those same time of humbling heart and soul searches in the past 10 years. I have so much love and respect for you, Janelle and your beautiful family. Again, thank you❣️🙏🤲💕💖💝

God Bless you both

You two are so amazing and by your work , life giving. Thank you for drawing me closer to my Father Son and Holy Spirit. What a blessing you are to me. I really appreciate your speaking Truth . Know you are always in my prayers that God’s Will continues to be shared . God bless you and your beautiful little family. 🙏

Wow... what a humbling reflection...Thank you so much for everything and opening up sharing with us your own reflection/testimony. It’s priceless. I’m reminded of a phrase I once heard being said at a Bible study, she mentioned her prayer would be “Lord, expose me to me”. I found it to be so valuable in order to check our heart. God bless you! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your honesty. I often the same concern; sometimes it paralyses me…, but when I hear someone like you (who does so much) Share the same concern…I feel comforted. God bless you and your family and thank you. 🙏

I also struggle with impure motives. Let's pray together indeed.

Wow! thank you for sharing…you have me thinking what I need to do….God Bless..

Wow! This talk was so helpful to me. It gave me so much hope. I sometimes feel so disgusted with my lack of holiness and my failures to help others. I will start to enjoy the duties of the moment in a different way.. I thank God for your ministry Ken and Janelle but mostly for your pure honesty.

St. John Vianney one of the greatest priests saint.

Do you love Jesus? Yes! Are you perfect? No, you are human! Don't let Satan into your thoughts and mind! He is a liar and will fill you with doubts and guilt. Keep looking up from where all our blessings flow! God bless you & Janelle. St. Michael, defend us in this battle! 🙏. Jesus I love you! All I have is Thine. Yours I am and Yours I will remain. Do with me what you will. 🙏

This was truly inspiring.

Thanks for your honesty, Ken. I also find it hard to say to Jesus 'Jesus you know that I love you'. I would have to say 'yes' but I need to fall in love with you more. Not easy when we are used to human relationships and we can't actually see, touch or audibly hear Jesus as if He was in front of us. So, maybe we actually shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. But I wish I could love Jesus more....like He was right in front of me.

Thank you! You truly helped me 🙂♥

Very inspiring 🙏🙏🙏before i went to confession few days ago, that verses suddenly appeared in my mind too "do you love me?" and "I said yes Lord, you know that i love you!" but after that i felt like i needed to do reflection on the words that i had said, Thank-you! Your videos had reminded me, God bless your soul and family 🙏🕊🕊🕊

Before you speak...THINK T is it True? H is it Hurtful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind? My granddaughter ♡ brought this home from school, I promised her ♡ I'd post it. Thank you, Ken, &J, for THINKing before you speak; you both are such a blessing to us! ♡

Thank you so much Ken. God bless you for this openness. I have similar motivations. It looks like everything I do is not pure. Even going to confession is some way but I go all the same and will keep going until my motives are purified. God bless you and help us do better.

Ken, I know that was difficult to share; but the very fact that you might question your motivations, made me look deep into my heart and see some of those same troubling things. To act as an example for my husband and children almost feels like boasting. Even though I pray in the solace of my bedroom, they know what I’m doing; and I wonder what message I am really sending. I need to work on this. Thank you for enlightening me. 🙏🏻✝️

Beautifully said, thank you.

Ken you and Janelle are wonderful you both have helped me a lot.Ken if you only knew the ripple fact that you have on others I think you would be shocked. And yes the devil does attack us and puts doubt in us just keep up the good work that’s how I know when I’m doing something right.

Yes, I understand what you are saying, because I have the same problem. I don't know if I rally love God, and I tell Him that. yes I also have impure motives as well, then I ask God to help me to like Him at least.

Thank You . He is my patron saint. My name is Vianney Elengikal

Ironically I have not gotten sleep since my last confession. And I have been struggling with the love of God. I don’t know if I got anything done as I was mainly question. So I might have to get another one? I don’t know. But this vid hit every mark. I doubt it means I’ll get sleep. There is some good. From the confession I mean. Thank god for it since my last physical confession was 2020.

Saint Vianney appeared and told me my confession.

Inspired, and clear guidance. Thank you so much.

🔥 so many mixed emotions for all of us. I will absolutely be right by your side trying every minute, every hour to listen to God’s voice in my heart. Give me the grace good Lord to die to myself in all things of this world. Thy Will be done! ❤

If the demons were singing, it was probably lewd pub songs or what would become pop songs inspired by them (you ever read those lyrics?).
