00:00:00.000 You know, it's not just a dream or a beautiful thing for us to consider to do to be holy to God
00:00:06.900 and to fight the good fight, but in fact, it's absolutely necessary.
00:00:20.240 Hello, my friends. It brings me great joy to bring back to you Father Clay Hunt. You'll remember
00:00:26.240 Father Hunt because he shines. He's also known as the cowboy priest or the pistol packing priest or
00:00:33.160 probably a whole bunch of other titles that I don't know, but what I know Father Clay for is for
00:00:40.340 his love. It shines out really beautifully. If you were with us last time, you found out about his
00:00:46.320 prison ministry, which has been so successful and brought so many people back to the Lord.
00:00:50.520 You got to listen to this because it shines forth the love of Christ, and that's what I really love.
00:00:55.200 Everywhere Father goes, he brings Christ, and he does that in a very neat way. He does that in a way
00:01:02.860 that really sticks out in some ways, although he's a very different guy, very much like Bishop Strickland
00:01:09.000 does because the Lord's sort of on his heart and bubbles over, and that's what you get from folks who
00:01:15.480 try and basically live out the life of Christ in their life so that Christ shines, and I think that's
00:01:20.820 what people recognize. Stay tuned for this episode.

00:01:55.420 Father, so good to be with you once again. Good to see you, sir. Father, if you could start us off
00:02:01.040 at the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:02:09.860 Thank you so much, Father. So, we want to do a few things with you. One, catch up a little bit. Tell us,
00:02:16.680 you know, what you've been up to these past, it's been, what, five months or so. What are you doing
00:02:22.820 right now? Well, when people ask me what I've been doing, I tell them in truth what I have been
00:02:28.580 doing. And as a cowboy, we've been looking for the lost sheep. And so, that's what we do pretty much
00:02:36.180 all the time. Whenever I tell people that, they say, well, you don't have far to look. They're
00:02:42.120 everywhere. And that's actually true as well. We evangelize, we bear witness to the Christ,
00:02:49.300 He who alone is the light, the light that has come into the darkness. And we make it our business
00:02:56.560 to continue to negotiate, to bring souls to our Lord. Now, Father, you smile a lot, and you're pretty
00:03:04.860 joyful. So, we're in the midst of some really weird times. Politically, in the world, there's wars
00:03:12.760 going on. America's hugely unsettled as we're transitioning from the Biden presidency into
00:03:20.040 the American presidency. But that all pales in comparison to what's going on in the church,
00:03:25.560 right from Rome on down to even the local diocese here. We're in San Antonio, where we just had
00:03:32.080 the Sanctus Ranch retreat. And so, the church is a huge mess, and yet you're full of joy.
00:03:39.900 I think people will want to know, where does that come from? Because it's not looking real pretty.
00:03:45.580 Praise the Lord, sir. Our joy, as you know, is in the Lord alone. And what sustains me,
00:03:53.960 even in the midst of these times of tremendous affliction, is precisely that. We just celebrated
00:04:01.500 the birth of our Lord, and we are celebrating the birth of our Lord. And the purpose of His coming,
00:04:11.580 the purpose of His being born unto us, is precisely the church and the sacramental life of Holy Mother
00:04:22.480 Church. And the summit of that is the Holy Eucharist. And I, myself, as a priest of the Lord,
00:04:32.340 I celebrated the Holy Mass every single day. I'll be, I'm approaching, I guess it's about one week
00:04:40.100 until my anniversary of ordination to the Holy Priesthood. And that'll be 16 years, they say.
00:04:48.120 Sweet 16, well, it's been rough, but I wouldn't change it for the world. And what sustains me
00:04:56.540 is precisely the daily celebration of the Eucharist, the daily reception of the Eucharist.
00:05:06.140 The Lord was the Lord was the one who said, when you eat my flesh and drink my blood, I live in you,
00:05:14.820 and you live in me. And so therefore, we're able to, to endure, or we have what is supernatural
00:05:24.200 that, that lifts up our spirits and gives us the strength, the fortitude, the grace,
00:05:34.720 and even the joy, you know, to, to push forward one day at a time. And that's precisely what,
00:05:44.060 what we do. No, no joke. This past four years has been, you know, unbelievable. We, we are able to
00:05:56.940 perceive with our senses, you know, the oppression of all these happenings. This has been
00:06:08.240 a terrible scourge to God's people, to the people here in the United States of America and to the whole 1.00
00:06:17.420 world. And so, uh, you know, it's easy for people to lose their joy. It's easy for people to,
00:06:26.020 to lose their hope and to give up. I mean, you see people turn to other things like drugs,
00:06:34.420 uh, things to try to escape. We have tremendous loss of life, you know, to, uh, fentanyl and,
00:06:42.760 and, and other, other people lose their lives for different drug use and, uh, but those things
00:06:53.180 are never going to be the one to give us joy. That's why you see the sadness on the people.
00:06:59.900 And it's true from the beginning and it continues to be true that the only thing that will truly give
00:07:08.220 us these things that we desire and long for to be happy is the sacramental life of Holy Mother Church.
00:07:18.380 That's the, the fountain for us of, of joy, of hope, and even to, to the fullest of things and that's
00:07:29.740 to love. That's the only way we're able to, to possess these things and to,
00:07:35.120 to live these things to other people. So that's what we do. You were able to, uh,
00:07:44.680 to meet, I believe, a young man. He's, uh, he's an amazing young man just coming into the fullness
00:07:50.840 of manhood, strong young fellow. He's my godson. His name is Elijah. And, uh, one of his talents is,
00:07:59.380 he has, he has many talents, but he makes rosaries and, uh, he sells them and, and, uh, he's done that
00:08:07.500 for years. And as a gift to me, he made this rosary, which is in truth a powerful rosary and
00:08:14.500 to pray it. That's, that's the greatest power. But I also say in case, just in case I need to,
00:08:23.860 we can whip on the devil with it. And we pray the, we pray that's, you know, again to,
00:08:32.960 I want, I want to tell your listeners, uh, we thank, we thank you, sir, for your efforts,
00:08:38.440 uh, to bring the light of the gospel to the world. And, uh, as we were discussing last night,
00:08:47.240 you know, to re-Christianize, you know, what were the words that we used? The motto that
00:08:55.240 we were saying, uh, this institution to institute and to bring Christ anew into, into the world,
00:09:07.840 you know, to society. That's to bring a culture of Christ anew. And those things, uh, you know,
00:09:16.740 require that we do our participation. So we have to pray. We have to pray every day.
00:09:23.940 And oftentimes people will ask me, you know, well, what should I pray? I'm struggling in this way. I,
00:09:30.940 I tell them oftentimes, you know, the most powerful prayer after the Holy Mass is the rosary.
00:09:36.780 We should pray the rosary daily and even multiple rosaries a day. And, uh, these things are what
00:09:44.780 God, sustain us and bring grace and strength from on high for us to be able to handle the daily life.
00:09:56.060 And that's why I encourage you people to, to, to not be wearied of, of these things we know to the
00:10:05.620 Lord. Discipline of prayer, sacrifice at times. You know, we were just talking to someone, uh,
00:10:15.860 about the brown scapular, you know, and I said, well, sometimes it irritates me, you know,
00:10:21.400 that's, you know, that's a natural thing. Uh, you know, it gets sullied, it might irritate us a little
00:10:28.920 bit, but as you said, uh, that's a perfect opportunity to offer up a little sacrifice.
00:10:36.060 And that's exactly true. The little things, you know, I was staying last night and thinking about,
00:10:41.400 um, St. Teresa, the little flower, her way, the little way. I mean, these aren't just for,
00:10:50.060 you know, to impress us. They're actually tremendously efficacious.
00:10:56.420 That we need to know how to sacrifice, how to fast, how to offer these little sufferings of the
00:11:03.720 daily life as a living sacrifice to God. A lot of times people are lost to, to the reality that
00:11:14.820 from the priesthood of our baptism, that's precisely, uh, what we're capable to do.
00:11:23.440 Hmm. So we, we are the, like Christ, the victim, and in the priesthood of our baptism,
00:11:33.560 like Christ, we're able to offer this living sacrifice to God. People have lost that in large
00:11:40.980 part. I mean, obviously there's, there are holy people. Probably most of the people that you have
00:11:46.340 listening are, are in fact, uh, holy people, but we need to reconnect to these Christian values,
00:11:57.080 Christian ways, and, and to live it in our daily life.
00:12:00.800 One of the things that, uh, it's a Polish tradition, I think, but at Christmas, um, in the lead up to
00:12:08.040 Christmas, the parents would get their little kids to put in a piece of straw for every good action that
00:12:16.400 they did. So in the church crib that's being prepared for the baby Jesus, he's not in there yet,
00:12:22.000 on the way up to Christmas, they would get the little kids to count all the good actions they did,
00:12:29.380 the extra little things, like, I helped mommy with the dishes, or, you know, I didn't hit my brother
00:12:35.820 back when he hit me, or I gave up my chocolate bar, and they're not to tell the parents this.
00:12:42.240 When they get to mass on Sunday, or whatever day they go, they are to take little pieces of straw,
00:12:48.400 and one per thing they did, and put it into the lining of the manger, the little manger,
00:12:54.680 to make it more comfortable for baby Jesus. I thought it was a beautiful practice, because
00:12:59.300 it was, it got the kids to understand their prayers, works, joys, sacrifices, and sufferings
00:13:06.280 help in terms of making baby Jesus comfortable. When I read this book that I spoke on last night,
00:13:13.320 it was, um, similar in that you would take all of your, everything in your day, and that's your
00:13:24.180 offering, and you'd offer it at the holy sacrifice of the mass. When the priest is offering the bread
00:13:29.660 and wine, and changing it into the body and blood, we're making it the offertory, which is, I guess,
00:13:34.940 the part where you're supposed to do that. You're offering yourself, but particularly all those things
00:13:40.540 that you did on purpose to offer, and then you have something to offer, which I thought really
00:13:47.960 beautiful. De Montfort would sort of take that a step further and go, we'll give it to our lady, 1.00
00:13:53.120 and she'll offer it for you, but so it's the same concept. But it is something that, are we thinking
00:13:58.540 about, do I have a little gift for Jesus? At every moment you can probably do that, but the practice
00:14:04.920 is beautiful, the, the mindset is beautiful, where you're trying, hey, Jesus, it's weird to say, needs
00:14:12.820 something of me, but you can say that in a way, obviously God doesn't need anything per se, but
00:14:18.800 he wants us to give something. That's why St. Paul said, you know, I make up in my body what's
00:14:26.520 lacking in the sufferings of Christ. That sounds insane. There's nothing lacking in the sufferings
00:14:30.700 of Christ, except that he wants it to be such that we can help in the salvation of the world,
00:14:38.760 which is incredible. That's absolutely true, my friend, and that is the highest order of, of our,
00:14:47.380 the Eucharist, the, the pinnacle of our faith, the source and summit of our faith. What's amazing is
00:14:55.660 it is, it is very true that we offer, that we place into, uh, the sacrifice, uh, our own offering
00:15:06.220 to God from the priesthood of our baptism. And the amazing reality is that he blesses it, makes it holy
00:15:16.320 and gives back to us. We call the Holy Exchange when we receive the Holy Communion. And this is,
00:15:25.300 this is the absolute pinnacle and, uh, and the very heart of, of our Christian faith. And that's
00:15:32.940 why I tell people all the time, I know, I know that not everyone is able to go to the Holy Mass.
00:15:38.760 You know, it's, you know, it's a priest. We make it happen. You know, we're, we're, uh, you know,
00:15:47.380 the priest is the direct, uh, mediator between God and man in offering the, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
00:15:57.120 So it's, it's not as easy for a lay person to say and to make that commitment, I, I attend Mass daily.
00:16:04.580 But in fact, it is possible. And, uh, it is, uh, you know, it, it's possible to, for a lay person
00:16:16.480 to do that. And I say, that's the greatest wisdom. I mean, obviously we have to go to the Sunday Mass.
00:16:22.660 That's the mandate of the Lord. That's the third commandment. But to, to go to the daily Mass,
00:16:30.120 I say is the greatest wisdom that a person could possess. For wisdom itself comes to us,
00:16:38.820 the Lord. And I encourage you to, if you're going to make a New Year's resolution, and if it is
00:16:44.400 possible, even if you have to stretch yourself, go to the daily Mass.
00:16:50.580 Pope Pius XI said, men must look for the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ. And he urged
00:16:59.980 that the faithful give public honor to Christ the King so that individuals and states would submit
00:17:05.020 once more to the rule of their savior. And that is why LifeSite News is raising up the image of Christ
00:17:11.420 the King across the United States. And you can help us reach millions more. Please pledge your support

00:17:24.400 I read that book once about, it was called One More Mass, I believe it was a little booklet,
00:17:30.180 but it was, there's basically like a story of a soul coming back to share, from purgatory,
00:17:37.900 coming to share with someone, you know, if I could come back to earth and experience one more Mass,
00:17:45.260 I would, I would come back for a whole lifetime of suffering, the most severe suffering for just
00:17:51.640 one more Mass. How about that? And when I heard that, I thought, well, that makes no sense to ever
00:17:58.520 skip a daily Mass, if you can at all do it. And I'm, um, knowing that makes you want to do it all the
00:18:07.360 more, but it also can lead you to sin when you're grumpy, when you don't get there, which is probably
00:18:12.760 my problem. And I complain, I complain to our Lord first, because that's a lot more healthy.
00:18:18.460 Um, I complain to my family or something that doesn't go well, because then it's all about
00:18:23.160 blame. But complaining to the Lord about it is fun, because I, you see, you tell him, okay,
00:18:28.140 I really wanted to go, what was that? But there is this spiritual Holy Communion. You know what,
00:18:32.780 Father? Probably there's a lot of people don't know about spiritual Holy Communion. Why don't you
00:18:36.560 tell us? You know, sometimes we're not able to make it to the Holy Mass for one reason or another.
00:18:43.940 I was just speaking to some folks that right after the Holy Christmas and, and before the New Year,
00:18:51.760 going into the New Year, they were making some travels and they were in bad weather.
00:18:57.020 And it became impossible for them to make it to the Holy Mass as they were way up in the mountains.
00:19:03.800 They got stuck and they weren't able to make it to the Holy Mass, which they're very faithful to go
00:19:10.200 to the Sunday Mass. And so they were disappointed in that. And they said, well, we watched, we watched
00:19:18.100 the Mass online as, as we could, you know, and we made a spiritual communion. And then there's other
00:19:25.640 times there's, there's circumstances where persons are not able to, to take the Holy Communion for
00:19:33.780 one reason or another in their life, you know, because of certain situations or circumstances
00:19:41.280 in their life. They're not able to go to confession and they're not able to take the Holy Communion.
00:19:47.020 But in fact, they are able to, with solicitude, assist in the Holy Mass to fulfill the third commandment
00:19:56.900 and to make their prayer to God. And as the Lord to open the way and even to, to petition the Lord
00:20:07.480 for a spiritual grace of communion, even though there are these other realities, and, and the Lord who knows
00:20:17.700 the mind and the heart is the giver of grace. He's the only one. He alone is the Lord. And so it's possible
00:20:28.360 for us to, to make spiritual communions even daily. If, for example, work or other responsibilities,
00:20:38.240 a lot of times elderly, you know, that's a tough thing. The men that I love, my, my parishioners,
00:20:45.820 the prisoners, you know, they're not able to, to go to Mass daily. And they're lucky if they have
00:20:53.440 Mass, you know, even, even for great periods of time, they might, they might go without having
00:21:00.300 the Holy Mass, without having the Holy Sacraments. But it, I tell them, you know, you're able to pray,
00:21:08.780 you're able to make this cell that you live in against your own will, but you can make it into a
00:21:16.520 little monastery of faith to God. You know, you can ask the Lord to come to you. And obviously,
00:21:24.300 who, he who mandated us to visit the one in prison would certainly visit the one in prison himself.
00:21:32.480 The Lord. And, and, and there are, there are holy men, you know, who are incarcerated,
00:21:39.260 holy women who understand that, who grasp it, who live it. And just as you say, they,
00:21:46.120 they make these kind of, that's their spirituality to God. And we all have that opportunity.
00:21:52.380 Joan Andrews Bell, who is an old friend, and she's a pro-life activist, and she's been jailed
00:21:58.960 over and over again. She did something really neat this time when she went into jail. And it was
00:22:06.520 striking to a lot of people because it was so strange sounding to the world. She asked that people
00:22:13.960 not write her because she wanted to go into her jail as if a hermitage, and just offer her being
00:22:27.380 there. Now, when they're inside, they minister from the inside to the other prisoners and everything
00:22:32.620 else. So it's very much, but they are intentionally being, they're, they know they're called to do the
00:22:39.520 pro-life witness. They know it's going to get them arrested. And she's been in jail for years and
00:22:44.140 years and years. Her husband, Chrissy, that must be tough. But anyway, they do this. And it's
00:22:52.520 beautiful. But her whole thing was to turn her prison cell into a monastery and be in, as a hermit,
00:23:00.040 with our Lord incarcerated. You know, these are the unbelievable things that we're talking about,
00:23:07.920 you know. And that's why, you know, it's not just a dream or a beautiful thing for us to consider to
00:23:16.000 do, to be holy to God and to fight the good fight. But in fact, it's absolutely necessary. Just anger
00:23:23.800 should, you know, take possession of us, that we would be motivated and moved to action. You know,
00:23:30.720 we thank God that President Trump was elected and that we have another chance. I see so many people
00:23:39.240 relieved all over the place with an anticipation of better days that lie ahead. But these things that
00:23:49.100 have taken place, you know, have taken place unbelievable, you know, with pro-life. Pro-life
00:23:53.700 people who pray and do everything they can to, for the baby in the womb to be able to survive, to
00:24:05.060 make changes to these abominations that are taking place all over the place. And in this, I don't,
00:24:12.180 I never called Joe Biden president. I called him the resident. You know, he was just occupied
00:24:19.060 buying the White House. And in fact, he never, he never was the president. They stole the election
00:24:25.400 in 2020. And that guy is terrible. He who proclaims himself to be a faithful Catholic. And then he's
00:24:36.240 complicit with putting these faithful Catholics, true faithful Catholics, in prison for nothing more than 1.00
00:24:45.080 praying. And praying the rosary in front of one of these abortion mills and making effort to save and
00:24:52.000 to advocate for the lives of these little ones. But we have to do such things. We have to be bold
00:24:59.740 and to, to make action. You know, there was recently these terrorist attacks in New Orleans and
00:25:08.080 Las Vegas and there will be, there will be many more. I told to the people I have on the YouTube,
00:25:17.540 which, please God, I would love to see Elon Musk buy YouTube, you know, to put an end to this
00:25:25.680 censorship that they do. YouTube is terrible. They're one of the worst ones.
00:25:31.060 But I use that platform to, to make the little cowboy priest videos, you know, where I give teachings and
00:25:39.740 pray with and encourage you good people. I told them on there, you, you, you hear people asking,
00:25:49.380 how could God allow this? You know, what happened in New Orleans or what happened in Minnesota or wherever,
00:25:59.900 you know, wherever there's these violences? And I told them,
00:26:04.320 how is it possible for you to ask such questions when we have freely allowed for the shedding of blood
00:26:15.880 of the innocent to the tune of 4,000 babies a day? And you can ask the Lord, why did you allow this
00:26:25.320 to happen to happen to us? It's not that the, the Lord desires that for us, but we bring it upon
00:26:31.220 ourselves. How was it? I just saw the image of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, saint, and she was the one who
00:26:39.260 said, any nation who has for themselves as the law of the land abortion, they will be the one to destroy 0.96
00:26:46.380 themselves. Any nation or people who kills their own children will never survive. And that's absolutely true.
00:26:56.320 And we see the fruits of these things upon us. And that's why we have to make it our business. In fact, to make
00:27:04.440 effort to be holy, we recognize our imperfections. We are sinners. But we have to know truth and to strive to
00:27:16.560 truth's ideal and to repent and to try to be better. These things are necessary. And that's why I wanted to,
00:27:25.060 to say to you guys, as we come into this new year, it's a holy year, you know, a year of jubilee, a
00:27:35.660 significant year, that, that you resolve yourself anew to be faithful to the three commandments that are
00:27:43.800 the highest order to God. Don't put yourself to make the original sin, to put your own understanding
00:27:54.020 above that and before that of the Lord. For he alone is the Lord. Don't, don't presume yourself to be
00:28:02.360 more than you are to make understandings and decisions of what's right and wrong. That's to God alone.
00:28:11.660 Stand to keep holy his name. Go to the holy mass on Sunday. For young people and for older people who
00:28:18.780 still have your parents, honor them. That's sometimes a difficult thing to do, but we have
00:28:24.020 to do that. We don't have the freedom to, to put people down, to abuse other people, to abuse our own
00:28:31.960 persons. We don't have the, the freedom to hurt our, the temple of the Holy Spirit with these things of
00:28:40.220 the world. False images to, to glory, drugs, these kind of things. We don't, we don't have the freedom
00:28:48.840 to do that. We don't have the freedom to take upon ourselves what is beyond us. I can't stand it
00:28:56.020 whenever I see how prevalent it is that young people cohabitate before they're married. You know,
00:29:03.640 if you love each other, that's wonderful. You don't have the freedom to live together before you're
00:29:08.600 married. And parents, you don't have the freedom to make concessions to your children to that. We 0.83
00:29:14.780 don't have the freedom to, to abuse the tremendous gift of our sexuality and to lose its fullness of
00:29:23.720 glory, to be, become unresponsive to God. We don't have the freedom to take what's not ours. That is
00:29:32.300 one of the greatest defenses of this Biden administration. These, these past four years,
00:29:40.080 I've seen the tremendous fleecing of the possessions, the monies, the, the wealth of God's people here
00:29:52.880 in the United States of America and throwing it to, to anyone else in the world. This is a tremendous
00:30:02.220 thievery, a theft on the highest level. You know, I've, I've been on the border where I've seen for
00:30:09.360 four years, them shipping illegal aliens all over the country, 20 chartered buses a day from one single
00:30:21.280 port, from one single sector on the border daily. They would line up those taxpayer funded buses and load
00:30:31.960 them up 20 buses a day from one single place all over the country. Not to mention the night flights from, from
00:30:45.100 airports and bases. I mean, these are tremendous offenses. Not to amend, not to mention what has happened in the
00:30:54.920 Ukraine. One of the worst fellows, one of the worst actors in the whole world is Zelensky. And through the Biden 1.00
00:31:04.760 crime family, the Biden administration, they have given countless amounts of money and thrown it all over the place.
00:31:15.060 Yes, we desire to be generous. Yes, we desire to welcome those who are downtrodden, but it has to be in the
00:31:26.100 way that it has always been or the way it is supposed to be. And that isn't by rule of law and order. And when you
00:31:35.880 hear people talking, you hear a lot of people pontificating about social justice issues. They know neither
00:31:43.060 anything to God nor do they have love and care for the poor. That's true. All you got to do is look.
00:31:51.700 And that's why I hope you open your eyes for this new year and that you continue to push toward light
00:31:59.200 itself. That's our Lord Jesus Christ, who knew how to be in relation to powers of this world and who loved
00:32:07.420 in authenticity, the poorest of the poor. That is what it means to live. And I hope we push for that 0.92
00:32:15.900 better than we have been in this new year of 2025. Would you give us your blessing in conclusion for 2025?
00:32:25.020 I do want to tell you guys that we love you very much. Never lose hope. Never quit pushing
00:32:30.860 forward and try to incorporate these things into your own life to a greater degree, to the degree
00:32:39.580 that is possible for this new year. The Lord be with you. And through the intercession of the holy
00:32:46.700 holy bishop to God, St. John Henry Newman. And we praise to the Lord that in fact there is such thing
00:32:57.580 as holy bishops. Through the intercession of that great man and all the holy ones who have gone before us,
00:33:07.180 even just yesterday, or in these days, another American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton. May almighty God bless to
00:33:18.060 each of you and to all your family. And may this be a good year, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:33:28.060 Amen. Thank you so much, Father. Yes, sir. Great to be with you as always. We look forward to see you down the road.
00:33:33.100 Keep up the good work, my friend. Thank you. And God bless all of you. And we'll see you next time.
