Jesus went through every humiliation, pain and death with Mary standing at the foot of the cross 🙏♥️🩸🔥🕊📿📿📿. I look to Jesus and Mary and I learn to be humble to Him (when I am humble to Him, then I can accept to forgive others and humble to Him) . Jesus make my heart humble and meek as Your Heart, Amen (if anyone wants to follow me let him/her carry His cross and follow me 🙏🌹🩸🔥🕊📿📿📿

Please God help me become more humble. I wish to connect my growth in humility with your suffering on the Cross for me. Thank you for dying for me and forgiving my sins. Amen.

Ken & Janelle, may God bless you all always. My family & I need all the prayers possible. We have lost everything (mostly everything) and now face financial debt. It's definitely a big slap on the face and a wake-up call towards humility. I'm having a hard time giving thanks to God for this experience, but I know I must. I believe my mind is trapped in the (WHY & HOW). I got my family and myself in this situation. I'm sure many more people find themselves in a similar situation. Be assured that as I'm praying for my family, we are also praying for those out there, too. God Bless

This is so true that you are not the only one going through these. Even right now as I'm writing, I am in so much pain and I'm crying. My dad just had an accident on the road days ago, he has fractures now from broken ribs then my mother and I don't have a job. I am currently incapable due to my illness, then my aunt, the sister of my mom humiliated both me and my mom about having no job. My mother is getting older and can't easily apply. Life is so hard lately in ALL areas and aspects. As if death is around the corner. I want to fast and pray in the Spirit but mentally been tormented daily. Thanks to this video I remembered the days I've been humiliated by many people. Humiliation is leading me to self condemnation. And it's so nice to die and be dead because what for and at the same time I don't want to let go of hope.

​@@estherbelleza7125I understand how you feel, pain and sorrow guide us through life and how we respond is extremely important. Please make the effort to pray, I know how truly hard it is my darling but it is the key to transform your life. It's like exercise for the soul, and God says the closer you draw to me the closer I draw to you. God allows suffering in our lives especially when he is trying to draw us closer. Every morning on waking I say a Glory Be....... Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful Immaculate heart of Mary and with her tears I offer you all my prayers works joys and sufferings of this day. ( I pray this because God can get good out of everything, every tear can become a pearl. This way nothing is ever wasted.) Then I pray Most blessed and Holy Mother and Holy St Joseph I consecrate myself and my family and all that we own to your Holy family, that you will protect and lead us all to the Sacred Heart of thy Divine Son Jesus and through him to Our Eternal Father in Paradise forever and ever Amen. Then Angel of God my guardian dear to whom God's love commits me here ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide Amen. Please continue to help me throughout this day and Thankyou for all the help you are always giving me. You can also ask your Guardian Angel to attend and offer a Holy Mass on your behalf for your family, this will bring extra GRACES to your family. Later on during the day I pray the 7 Sorrows of Mary the Queen of Sorrows, one of the promises is Peace in our families if prayed daily which it does bring. God also says I have many graces to give but no one asks me for them. Prayer makes us stronger and makes it much easier when we get knocked down in life to keep getting back up. Truly everyday I have to make myself pray and it is very hard, but how much better I feel after each time because I am honouring God and thanking him for the many blessings he keeps giving me. Like food, shelter, clothing, family. Holy Love to you and your loved ones. Jesus Mary Joseph ( 7 year indulgence, say at any time, bless yourself saying In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen 300 day indulgence) offer indulgence for Holy Souls in purgatory. ❤❤❤

Mario, I experienced the same…..lost everything including our own home. I was able to pay off our debts but we had nothing left. I was 38 years old with a wife and four kids and we had nothing! I had my teaching job but basically had to start again from zero. The key was surrendering to God and entrusting Him with our future. To the Lord nothing is impossible. TRUST HIM! Im 78 now and we own our own home and have a modest pension that meets our needs comfortably. God bless you Mario.

In a world of unkind and bullying people, it can be easy to be exploited and taken advantage of. To desire to be humiliated and scorned just seems to go against our human grain. I guess I have a lot of work ahead of me.

I love the fact that the two of you admit to your audience that you need work in many of the areas that you discuss. It's honest and refreshing. Have a blessed weekend. ❤✝

I love this topic of humility. Sometimes I feel I hold on too much to mine, because I like the reminder and it keeps me humble. I remember the first time I realized that all of my humiliatingly experiences actually saved me from further sin. I'm so grateful for Gods mercy....

Here’s to savoring each notion of humility- teach me Jesus to be more like you - humble with no reservations . Amen

Your videos are directing me to what it means to live a holy life. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share these Lenten reflections. May Jesus be praised forever. ❤

You are so welcome! Thanks for journeying with us!

Humility is to become a Christ like. Inorder to be humble is to be humuliated. Thank you Ken & jannelle. God bless you & your family

Blessed first Friday and first Saturday

I opened up my Pieta prayer book this morning and saw the the prayer for humility. In someways, praying for humility scares me, because I am sensitive and don’t want to have hurt feelings.- then I listened to your Lenten message today and of course today’s message was on Humility❣️ Thank you Ken and Jenelle, and thank you Lord for Your confirmation❤

I love the gravy story! 🤣😂. Your dad is a saint, a satisfied saint. 😁. I love that you and Janelle share your humanness with us. Thank you!

HUMILITY MOST DIFFICULT OF THE VIRTUES BUT THE MOST NEEDED & REQUIRED IN ORDER TO BE MORE LIKE THE SAINTS. FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE US THE NECESSARY GRACES TO ATTAIN HUMILITY. NEVER OUR WILL BUT ALWAYS YOUR TIME & WILL BE DONE. 🙏🙏🙏

I am nothing and ask The Holy Trinity to fill my nothingness. This is a prayer I believe was given to me by my Holy Guardian Angel. My mother always instilled in us that “Humility is GOOD FOR THE SOUL!” Praise God for humiliations if they draw us closer to Him!

There is no trinity in the bible. You believe in heresy.....

This was excellent in the many things to consider about humility. I really thought I was humble person until my friend introduced me to the humility prayer 8 or so years ago. It sure opened my eyes. I still don't particularly like attention drawn to myself. I'm finding out though, if the attention comes from me speaking or doing something that's for God's greater honor and glory so be it. Especially if others disagree with me. I don't mean in any kind of haughty rude way either. I need to keep myself in check. Reminding myself that I am nothing without the grace of God. Looking at others through the eyes of Jesus. I'm going to listen again because this truly is power packed. Thank you both, and have s most blessed weekend.🙏💕💞💝 Oh my! Upon second listening I hear when more. All of the quotes from the Saints. 💝🙌 Humility is definitely a slow growing virtue. I'm terminated reminded of a recent upset with my daughter and her family. Without details I will share that it's been a very painful lesson in humility for me. I'm finally at a place after 7 months of grieving while surrendering of being grateful for this hard lesson. My daughter has contacted me and wants to join us for Easter. Praise God!

Fr Chad told that ask your guardian angel to humiliate you. Everyday pray the litany of humility. Its a new insight to learn that if we want to be humble be ready to get humiliated

Wow, what a powerful lesson today! I ask God to keep me humble and quiet in my humiliations! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Loved this message and your openness and honesty in your own lives. The statement “humility is the acknowledgment of truth” really hit home with me. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

So hard these days when self-agrandizement is taught so much.

Thank you Ken and janelle, truly enlightening and helping me to see my resistance, but also encouraging, GOD BLESS yous ,too 🙏 📿🫠🐸🙏

Now that I remember all the humiliation I have experience during my teens it doesn't really make me humble at all, it made me so angry & it affected my self-esteem.

True about patience too😮 once when confessing impatience and how I keep praying and failing , Father reminded me that the only way we’ll know we have the virtue is to be tried and respond with love🤦‍♀️ I have a lot of work to do😘

I want to be the humblest person, now!!!

These truths are very difficult to survive.

The content of these videos are so valuable to me and so much needed to help us grow in holiness. Thank you both for sharing with us where you too still have some work to do ☺️. I hope I may say it's comforting to know that I'm not alone struggling with this. God bless you and your children. Wishing you all a lovely weekend

This is a powerful meditation. Thank you for helping me realize my wrong attitude.

Blessings! 💜🙏🏻💜

Thank you... this is very helpful..God bless your whole family.. greetings from japanw

For some reason, I, don't know, I have had you guys in mind for some days now, and then now I just discovered that we are using the same book for our meditations. 😊😊🙏🙏🙏 God is good. I just signed up to receive the weekday meditation videos. 👍👍👍

Welcome aboard!

I just love these videos they feel like you looked at my life and talk about things I need to hear! Thank you for taking time out of your busy season of life to follow this vocation!!

Thanks .Enjoy your weekend

I need any talk about humility. Never thought about humiliation as being , not just a little part, but now see it is a big part. Won’t even start on how I have humiliated self, but will behave humorously or justly embarrassed when others, at times many others, are observing my behavior. Sometimes, I say “And the Oscar goes to…..well, me.”

Humiliations are PAINFUL

Beautiful, and much to reflect on. Sound and set up is awesome also. ❤️‍🔥

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2) The 2 greatest virtues I desire most! 🙏🙏🙏

Living humility, living in truth, according to Father Mike

Thank you - There’s so much I could say….but won’t. Love walking with you both during lent. God Bless You🙏✝️

Thank you Ken and Jenelle be Humble as Jesus did through His Passion and Death! ✝️📖💜💜🙏

I love the Litany of Humility and I learned it from your morning prayer. I find it so consoling daily. The monthly morning prayer is very powerful, it's helped me in my faith immensely.

....it is better to serve.

🙏

🙏🏻🙌🏻🕊🌹

"God had no part in our sin." Well, let's put it that way: He allowed it especially with regards to generational curses whcih are being passed down.

😇

I love humility and humiliations. In fact I think I am way more humble and have experienced far greater humiliations than any of you. In fact I would in all humility consider myself an expert in humiliation! How am I going so far Ken? I’d be very happy if you rated me between 1 and 100 with 100 being the most humble. I promise I won’t get proud if you rated me at 115! God bless you both!

Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., was a Discalced Carmelite priest and is the author of Divine Intimacy (the book our Lenten reflection are based upon).

While I agree with the general idea of accepting humiliations, which I think is too vaguely defined here, I think there are dangerous ideas in this message. You take some words from Catherine of Sienna, saying if they were wrong then it doesn't matter. There are situations in life where if someone is wrong in what their saying about you it could effect everything around you very negatively. Say for example, you get fired for no good reason, because someone makes up a false, "humiliating" lie about what you did. It is appropriate to address the lie, while still wanting the humiliation that came with it. Say that someone says that you are schizophrenic when you say you know someone raped you. That's pretty humiliating, but shouldn't be accepted solely on the basis it's humiliating, because it's a dangerous lie to allow a rapist to be roaming about your community. So it needs to be more clear, what the person is being defensive about. If their being defensive about a dangerous lie, then this is appropriate. If their being defensive about a potential character flaw then accepting that humiliation is better. But it doesn't seem clear here to me, what your definition of humiliation is or what the person may be getting defensive about. Again, that being said, I still completely agree that if your humiliated over specifically a moral character trait then there's no reason to be defensive, one should accept humility here.
