Every time I watch this video, I laugh. Fr. Jim's joy and playfulness is just so contagious. I think he communicates more about hope and joy and how much God loves us with his jokes and laughter than most priests do with their solemn homilies. I am so lucky to have a guy like this in my life ... to remind me to keep on laughing. Enjoy the show!

Sadly UNFORGIVENESS brings upon people the illnesses of the mind! If they were to forgive the people who hurt them they would not have all this depression, bi-polar- & etc.... other mental illness. Jesus said not to go to bed angry at anyone --- BUT they are many bad people out there to hurt us but Unforgiveness helps us get over the hump. Humor is quite necessary in our Society & nice to see one --- Together in all the right places!
laughing is the ONLY way i have been able to convince peojple thati am christian and to get them to listen, most often repeatedly and with growing numbers becoming brothers and sisters in christ with me
I love to laugh - when I'm not too busy being Depressed - and even then sometimes I can still laugh.
I want to respond to Ed. Go check out some AA meetings and you will hear lots of laughter. I do believe "there is a time for everything under heaven" as it says in Ecclastiasis (spell?). There is a time for mourning and crying. And hopefully for healing. And forgiving. And Joy. And Serenity. May you experience them all, Ed.
the only i'm joyful is when I listen to holy music
Paul: I agree that holding onto resentment and anger does cause a lot of distress and that forgiveness would go a long way in helping many people live happier, more tranquil lives. But to assert that "unforgiveness" is the root cause of many mental illnesses is a little much.
