Fr. Donald Calloway: "The Virgin Mary: The Masterpiece of God" | SEEK2019

I just seen this dude say mass & speak and he let me be his altar server for the morning mass I am a recovering alcoholic addict & this dude has been an inspiration to me. He let me serve as his altar server at the Basilica in South Buffalo and I received communion from him too I hope to follow his example and go into the priesthood or a deacon. Meeting and hearing his story inspires me and shows me that with God ALL things are possible!

I was at this talk and I remember when Fr. Calloway began speaking I was overwhelmed by the strong smell of roses. I turned and asked my friend “can you smell that?” And she said “smell what?” I know Mary was there that day.

Father please pray for my son who is fighting the evil spirits of drug addiction,in Jesus’s holy name and precious blood✝️🙏

My wife died 4 years ago after a courageous fight with cancer. Feeling despair after 45 years of being with her I was ready to give up hope. Desperate I returned back to the church and found Mary, who gave me the hope and faith to continue. I am never alone as I have her in my life.

I witnessed miracles over the years as well. Several years ago, I was a skeptic and in a dark place myself, no where to turn to. I showed up to church reluctantly , and Some people at church told me to go to Mary statue in LB to pray. I showed up and no one was there, we were there praying to rosary and I didnt know how to pray I read along the rosary book, while in the 3rd/4th decade, a wind blew by and the roses scent came up while there were no flowers there, and we are right in the beach front area. So I kept sniffing to see what's so strange and the ocean wind was so strong but the roses smell kept coming. I kept thinking it's so strange, and I came back another day, and it happened again. Since after that, God gave me the faith to believe bc of his mercy. I strongly believed that was through intercession of our Mary that changed me. Ever since, I witnessed many more miracles and healing after. And that's my testimony for our Mother Mary intercession. Praise to you Lord, and Thank you mother Mary!

I am a cradle catholic. I used to think that I needed to pray to Jesus and if I went to Virgen Mary it would not be right. As a single parent I've had tremendous struggles. So I would kneel before the Blessed Sacrament to pray. One day I knelt before my Lord in a tremendous struggle. As soon as I knelt I heard inside of me very clearly the words,Go to my Mother! So I did and I do! Father your talk is right on! To Jesus through Mama Mary.

I've been wondering whether I was not becoming too dependent on Mary to the point of worshipping her but my mind is at peace now because you said we should keep loving her cos "you will never love her more than Jesus".

Please pray for my daughter who neglects her spiritual life. Thank you and God may bless you.

Father Don.. I believe in ALL that you said about our Blessed Mother. She has helped me in MANY WAYS especially in my stage 4 Big C. I prayed ALL MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY for 9 days . It was a miracle that even the doctors who assisted in my CT scan prior to my operation were surprised.

This man is on FIRE with love for the sweet Immaculata. Bless you Fr. Don. We need more priests bursting with love for HER.

Perfection........ OMG my soul is lifted when this priest talks. He maybe a priest from heaven. A heavenly gifted priest.

I am a protestant and I know "MARY".She is my mother. "JESUS " gave me his mother to me. I can ask my mother a question. She gives me an answer within two to three days!

The first time I prayed the rosary was with 6 Nuns at my Dads funeral. It was unreal. I felt my body tingling

Heaven has a sense of humor! Our Mother is smiling down on you, Father Calloway!

Thank you, Fr. Calloway. I am a living witness to living under Mama Mary’s Mantle when I prayed “Mama Mary, please put your mantle over us, …,” and then I prayed one Hail Mary ever so slowly. And we were safe. I wasn’t afraid anymore. This was in 1976 during a night attack by the NPA, communist party subservients against the town mayor. Thank you Mama Mary🙏🏼❤️🕊💕✨

A mention of Her brings tears to my eyes too. Aaahhh my mum!!

What a powerful speaker - those 10 years of education he received at the hands of the seminary directors and higher education facilities shine through every word. His talks are magical, stimulating and possibly addictive. He is someone I would love to sit down with and engage in a meaningful discussion on Catholicism and its teachings. I am a cradle Catholic and as a writer so very inquisitive. Perhaps some day we can meet. God bless you Father.

FATHER CALLOWAY IS A TRUE BLESSING - THANK YOU FOR TELLING US ABOUT OUR BLESSED MOTHER IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WAY!!!

I'm listening to this talk for the second time and it feels just like how it did the first time. My love and awe for Mama Mary deepens every time I listen to this talk. God bless you abundantly Father!

Fr. Donald Calloway's past before he came into the Catholic faith was amazing. Who else but God can make a person with a troubled past speaks so eloquently for God, the Father and the blessed mother. I am in total awe.
