@@tony1685 ?
@@tony1685 Yes, I’d like proof 😁
Que Viva!
Thank you for your PRIESTHOOD..you bring Jesus to us..the AWESOME HOLY EUCHARIST
5:45 🤣 We love you Father Mike!
God Bless you Father Mike, my son graduated college last year and shared some of your TH-cam videos with me, so we are both fans. Doctor Hahn, My wife and I converted to Catholicism in 2012 and while we were going through RCIA, we were reading (Rome sweet Home) and it was very much a key coming from a southern Baptist upbringing. God bless you both
God bless you Father Mike,and keep your pure for his name's sake ,Amen.
Ave Maria
Love you Fr Mike, you really have a gift and share it so wonderfully with us. You really connect well with all ages! Thank you God for Fr. Mike!
Thank you 📿🙏🙏 It is such a blessing to have Fr. Mike and Scott Hahn to instruct un in our faith!!!!
Fr Mike, this is Deacon Rick, and I think a timely topic for a future conversation would be your advice to young priests, in light of the struggles some are having in our diocese.
Fr Mike
Thank you for saying yes to Jesus!
We love you from Homer Glen Illinois.
That was so funny about the lack of privacy. I really enjoyed this video.
It always consoles and mystifies me that Fr. was ordained the same year as I. We are well reminded not to compare ourselves to each other in this life. He is certainly glorifying God and building up the Church with his unique talents.
I am sure you are a priest. Touched by your humility I will offer my Prayers during today's Eucharistic adoration with LogosvoicetTv and Divine Retreat Centre Uk on TH-cam for your intentions.
Thank you for your "YES" Father!
Thank you for your ministry, Father Mike. You are truly a father to all. I love hearing you talk, when I view your podcasts. God loves you Father. We all love you.

@@ckeast5588 the only Father to all is God... Not a priest
Yes, thank you Jesus for them both.
Father Mike openly shares his vulnerability and humanness in his videos. That’s why he’s so approachable and personable.
Dr Scott Hahn's voice is so intimidating
💪🏾 God bless all fathers
I have always been comforted by Scott Hahn's clear, gentle and masculine tone.
The Mass is a sacrifice? The Eucharist is a sacrifice?
Father Mike is the BEST!!! (Dad your as old as my car!!!)
Dude looks like Don Draper
You live as a family man, another example of fatherhood. Now, - maybe a man cave for your sanity? You can call it a mental health facility.
The hardest thing must be to be a deep dyed sinner yourself, and at the same time try to convince someone that their sins are forgiven. It is what I call being a hypocrite.
Speaking of the concept of "father". I come from a small Catholic town and I perceived that the parish priest replaced, to a very significant degree, the fathers of the families of my town. The respect and authority that rightfully belonged to these very real fathers of very real families was thereby diminished by the parish priest "Father". It's something that fundamentally weakens Roman Catholic men, especially in contrast to most Protestant men.
It's not the problem of priest "father", but rather problem of lay fathers - maybe some of them didn't take enough effort as spiritual leaders of their families. For example, my father was only nominal catholic and for me this gap was filled by my gradpa (rest in peace his soul), who was exceptionally devoted and righteous man. He was and still is the best example for me 😉 And we (me and my cousins) even called him "father", not granpa 😃
Not the case.
Lack of proper formation and catechetics is the reason for weak Catholic fathers when any.
I'd question the veracity of your statement too though, protestantism being a mere shadow compared to the depth and theology of the church.
If you accept Vatican II and the Novus Ordo then you’re a Modernist.
I love this Priest personality his videos he brought me back to the church
So wonderful hearing from Father Mike about the inside story on priesthood. And thank you Dr Hahn
Ok, rule number 1, should my son become a priest. I am not going to him for confession!
IKR 😆. Talk about awkward 🤣🤣🤣
Good thing we have many other priest for confessions.🤔
@@tony1685 Well ... except for the fact that He told us to go to a priest. So, there is that little tidbit.
@@tony1685 Well, I disagree that everything we do must be clearly labeled and defined in the Bible ... in fact, that's what the pharisees argued, and look how wrong they were.
But, to answer your question, the origins of the sacrament of confession can be traced to John 20:21-23. In this, Christ does two important things to His appointed ministers (i.e., who are clearly priests, since they have been ordered to perform sacrifice). First, He empowers them to forgive sin against God on His behalf; that much is plainly evident from the text. Second, He orders them to do as He has done ... and He has just empowered His appointed ministers to forgive sin. So too, the apostles could empower their ministers to forgive sin. And so it propagates in time until today. I hope that clears it up for you.
I think it would be cool to go to confession with my son should he be a priest. He would know how I really feel about my husband. His dad. From New Zealand 🇳🇿👍😊🙏📿🇳🇿
The session in which Father Mike describes what it is like to be first Father and then a mother (no privacy 🤣🤣🤣) May God bless you!
Any man who has no desire to be married to a woman should never be supernaturally married to the Bride of Christ. Any man who doesn't have a desire to be a father in the natural order should never become a father in the supernatural order.
what do you mean by " Any man who has no desire to be married to a woman should never be supernaturally married to the Bride of Christ. " ...you mean men who hate women ? or... ??
@@palmina77italiana It's not necessarily about men who hate women. The same essentials are necessary in being married to a woman and the supernatural bride of Christ (the Church). So if you lack in one then you also lack in the other.
@@csongorarpad4670 I'm having issues with the whole "supernatural" part....uhm...
@@palmina77italiana In what way? Isn't it pretty straight-forward? I thought the distinction is pretty clear as laid out by OP's and my comment.
The Church (the supernatural bride of Christ) is not a woman, so there you have one clear example in how the relationship between Christ and the Church is not exactly, literally, the same as the relationship between a husband and wife. They're very similar, of course. But they're not literally the same because they're different in some parts (a wife and the Church, I mean.)
One is a person (wife), the other is not a person (Church), so on and so forth...
By that logic Padre Pio should never have become a priest…does not makes sense at all
One day I walked into the sacrasty and called out "Father?". My priest answered with "Daughter?". After we talked, I said "Thanks Dad" jokingly. Now I sometimes call him "Abba". I hope that isn't disrespectful but that is how I actually feel.
Forgot to mention, he is my son's age...lol
Two of my favorite men sharing "Dad," Father, Son & Holy Spirit stories!
Love the fact that they're not wearing masks✊🏾
Fr. Mike is one of our very few priestly priest!
No. There are many
As a father patience is hard when it comes to privacy
How unbelievably strange for a mother and father to have confession of their sins, with their own son, really weird,
I love this conversation.
Hardest/Impossible Things: Obeying Torah and the Jewish Messiah.
Best Things: Receiving Praise from men.
If I was a priest I think the hardest and most reward is woman. Rewarding when they help you, worst part is when they try and tempt you.
The good part is that you have enough strength to self control. In Father Mike's circumstances is that he loves being a Father. I sure hope he doesnt fall into temptation....Oh God.🙏🙏🙏
Before they become priests they already know what they are leaving especially most of them had girls friends
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx yes and 73 % boyfriends if the record for the North American college in Rome is correct nobody can say that a priests lite is normal natural no matter how brainwashed you are
Praying for you fr Mike 🙏 you are a lovely priest Amen 🙏
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
EASY - EVERYONE TAKES CARE OF HIM EASY STREET - !!! BULLLLL
Father Zelonis you expressed humility, and would be much easier to approach you I am sure.
No privacy for parents! 😭😭😭 its true
Thank you Lord for all our/your priests
🥹🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
2 of my favorites chatting together! I love it! Saint Joseph pray for us! Praise God! With love from Boston ✌️
Question in ordination do they anoint your fingers as to say that you and only a priest can hold and distribute the body of Christ?
Their palms are anointed, as part of the ordination rite
🙏 🤲 🕊
It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy.
I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained.
I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them.
Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me.
They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female.
About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place.
I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.
You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! !
500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you.
There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily.
Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you.
Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want.
The rest is up to me and God.
Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed.

hmm. again something suggested about Mr. Schmitz :D I don't know I just begin to think he is a little bit fake with us, like playing a role in some movie, but no one can see his real face. He can't help himself to not try to flirt with women in some way and I don't like it, it isn't fair to them. I stop to listen to him almost completely, although I liked his homilies. maybe I'm a little too proud :D
Dad? No! It’s the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Is the devil playing with Father (not Dad) Mike S?!
Lol, maybe they should sound proof Father Mike's area.
I live in an old farm house so know about sounds going through walls.😂
I'm not a native speaker. Can sb. help me with this: Where does the word/term "Gosh" come/derive from?
Thank you very much.
Revelation 17 : 4 name one other religion other than Catholics that have purple scarlet and decked with gold and precious Stones? If you could name one other I will go look it up thank you
Lol...that was cute when he said he has no privacy! Yep that is a huge aspect of parenthood indeed!
He speaks in bursts of mutterings which makes his speech quite unclear
Please donate generously if you can.
A priest faces even more temptations than a layman.
The ministry of presence...
The cover photo is misleading, don't do that people!
So sweet ♡
Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey....*spits toothpaste and pukes on gag reflex* ...LOL...I can just imagine what it must be like for you to live with a bunch of teenagers coming in and out of the house with lack of privacy...as you said. It's not much different than being married (or common law married) with children...
The Bible clearly states that Jesus is our HIGH PRIEST & call no one Father ! Priests are not needed - we go to the Father through His son ! You do not need a priest to intervene for you - he is NOT a way to the Father - only Jesus !
Father Mike, when one of the students called you, "Dad," he was just testing you to see how you would react to being called "Dad," unless English was his second language. What if he had called you, "Papa?" Then how would you feel? I address the Lord as "Papa" at times because it sounds very loving and very dear to me.
Priests are being ordained to be Apostles of Christ and carry on His ministry. Calling a Priest "Dad" is disrespectful and coming from a teenager or young adult, is immature, they should know better. What would they call the Pope, "Grandpa"?
Respectfully, I recall many youths crying "Viva Papa!" to St. Pope John Paul II. He didn't seem to mind. God is Lord and Father. We are supposed to think of Him as both. Likewise his priests are called to spiritual fatherhood AS ministers of Christ. These things aren't in conflict.
@@OBNOXIOUSBLA13 Calling a Priest "Dad" is bad enough, calling the Pope "Dad" is disgusting! The proper way to address the Pope is "Holy Father" or "Your Holiness"! Youth these days have no respect for anybody and they need to be corrected when they have no clue what they're saying or doing.
I concur and it should be corrected (with charity).
Pure mythology, sorry
#1 Banging teenage boys
The hardest thing about priesthood is telling lies to little children.
I know what that does to a developing brain.
