The Abortion That Failed: What It's Actually Like To Survive One

I was never supposed to be born. In this video, I share my testimony as an abortion survivor and expose the spiritual warfare surrounding the unborn. From the ancient altars of Moloch to the modern influence of Baphomet, we explore why the enemy targets the most vulnerable and how the Mercy of God and the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe can break even the darkest bonds. If you believe we are in a time of intense spiritual battle, this video is for you. We discuss the reality of spiritual oppression, the power of deliverance, and the victory found in Christ. 0:00 - Intro 0:48 - The Contract: How My Life Was Scheduled for Sacrifice 7:01 -  The Intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe 8:10 - Breaking the Spirit of Moloch: How to Speak for the Unborn 10:10 - Finding Healing in the Church 12:52 - The Spirit of Rejection: Healing the Abortion Wound 14:41 - The Power of Forgiveness: Breaking Generational Curses 15:40 - The Final Account: How God Judges Our Life’s Choices 17:13 - Outro #Catholic #Prolife #testimony

We Grew Up Calling This ‘Catholic’… It’s Not

This isn’t Catholic This video is a serious conversation about Mexican Catholic culture, cultural Catholicism, and the difference between authentic Catholic faith and practices rooted in superstition. Many Catholics grow up surrounded by devotion. Prayer, candles, saints, and deep love for Our Lady of Guadalupe. But at the same time, many are also exposed to beliefs like mal de ojo, limpias, tarot cards, zodiac signs, and other spiritual practices that are not part of Catholic teaching. So where is the line between faith and superstition In this video, I talk about Catholic teaching versus superstition, mal de ojo and evil eye beliefs, tarot cards, astrology and zodiac signs, limpias and folk spiritual practices, and devotion to saints like Saint Anthony of Padua. This is not about attacking Mexican culture. It is about understanding the truth, growing in faith, and recognizing what actually comes from God. If you are Catholic, grew up in Mexican culture, or are trying to understand your faith more deeply, this video is for you. What do you think Have you seen these practices in your own life or family Chapters 0:00 - Intro 0:33 - Vírgen De Guadalupe 2:15 - Mexican Catholic culture and faith 4:15 - Mal de Ojo 7:07 - Faith vs superstition explained 9:19 - Why this confusion matters 11:50 - Outro #catholic #faith #virginmary

He Should Have Died... (Brown Scapular Miracle)

I used to think the Brown Scapular was just a tradition until I experienced what I can only describe as protection I cannot explain away. This is my true story. Today I share two deeply personal Catholic testimonies that I believe reveal the power of Our Lady’s intercession and Brown Scapular miracles in modern life. The first testimony involves a night when my drink was spiked and my safety was at risk. In that moment of vulnerability I believe the Blessed Virgin Mary protected me through the Brown Scapular and called me back to purity, prayer, and obedience as a daughter of God. The second testimony is about my father’s car accident involving his truck, an event that should have been fatal. What followed is a near death experience that I can only understand through faith, prayer, and the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Brown Scapular is a sacramental of the Catholic Church given through Our Lady of Mount Carmel as a sign of consecration, grace, and spiritual protection. This is not superstition. It is a true story and a testimony of God’s mercy working through Mary in real life. If you pray the Rosary, follow Catholic teachings, or are interested in Catholic miracles, Marian devotion, near death experience testimonies, or modern day faith stories, I hope this video strengthens your faith.

Coachella vs. The World's Most Intense Pilgrimage | Lilies Among Thorns

Coachella is one of the biggest festivals in the world but what is it really about? Beyond the music, the fashion, and the lights, there is something people rarely talk about. Why does Coachella feel the way it does and what do people experience after it is over? In this video we look at Coachella from a different perspective and question what modern festival culture is actually shaping in us. Is it just entertainment or something deeper? Is it worth it? Or should we invest our money into holy things? Fr.

(John 6:55)  And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
