I left Islam and I am preparing myself to become Catholic, I am so thankful that the Church preserves such beautiful traditions. I have been watching Fr. Mike in YT . Thank you for your channel 🙏
What do you think it makes you feel drawn to Catholic Church?
@@davidtiradogomez5485 After searching/reading and reflecting about the most ancient recorded practice of early christian communities, I came to this point where I found that the Catholic Church tradition does not fall far from what were early christian beliefs. Islam has beautiful teachings but I believe in Jesus Christ as my saviour, and that is something that is not acceptable in Islam. It took me over 3 years to gather courage to decide that I wanted leave Islam. It is not easy. It is a journey of seeking and searching the truth. Iam not here to offend anyone, everyone has their own spiritual path. Thank you.

Blessed are you, Ana Maria, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by Jesus’ Father in heaven and Holy Spirit. I have a deep respect for my “brothers” the islams, so I wonder when those days will be when they and Israel recognize that Jesus is the Son of God. Greeting from USA.
@@davidtiradogomez5485 🙏 Thank you. May God bless you 🙏God works in mistery. The day will come when Jesus returns.
This reminds me of the priest at my old church in California. He shared that he was engaged to be married when he was younger. Then one day, he went to a retreat and something happened to him (like that of Fr. Mike) and decided to answer God's call to priesthood. When he went back home, he called his fiancee and told her that they needed to talk, she agreed because she also had something important to tell him. When they met, he was nervous and crying and told her about his decision. She reacted the same way too.. Why?? Because while she was away, she had her own discernment and moment with God that made her decide to become a nun. So they called off the engagement and pursued holy lives through the sacrament of holy order.
Lo mismo paso con el padre Javier Olviera de Argentina Él sacerdote y ella Monja .
Perdón olivera
All of us are called to pursue holy lives. That’s why Jesus came to free us from sin.
Beautiful
That's amazing
As a muslim, I have tremendous respect for priests and nuns. I never forget this Padre Fortin who was the chaplan at the grad school I attended. There were a handful of Muslim students and all of them male. He became sort of like an 'Imam' for me and on my way to prayer room (he gave us the catholic chapel to use from Monday to Friday ) he would stop me to chat and ensure I was doing okay. He was worried I felt alone because I was the only Muslim female. We would about our spiritual journeys and the challenges that it entails. Later, I learned he passed away from a heart attack. As well, it seems there is an immediate unspoken connection between Muslim women and nuns. It is probabaly due to clothing, but there is almost always a 'hello'-spoken or unspoken between us. May God bless your service to your community.
You are right, remember that just like other things, Our prophet Muhammad took most of the things from either Jews or Christians. The way Muslim women dress was also taken from the Christian women at that time.
Beautifully said :)
@Venera.....A beautiful and uplifting read. Thanks.
You are invited to be a Catholic 💗😁
Younis-our beloved prophet did not 'take' from Christians and Jews, rather there are similarities because Muhammad (saws) is considered the last messenger completing the last part of the same message sent to what we now call Christians and Jews.
Nancy, that is so sweet; thank you :)
However, Islam is my everything and can't really see myself considering another religion.
Funny thing, I have asked myself would I have become a nun if I were catholic haha.
In God's peace!
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m nearly 60 and was not a practicing catholic for years… never really was actually, just did it out of fear of my parents finding out I wasn’t at mass. I’ve been listening to the bible on a year and it got me going. About 5 weeks now, so I’m not up for sainthood yet 😀 the next step is confession.. I’d guess 45 years
God bless you, Eoin. I’ll pray for you ❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕯✨🕯
God never stops calling us home! Welcome home!
Same here, never really believed, only did it cus I had to. Father Mike was a huge factor that led me back to God, along with Jordan Peterson. And it's been good. But also hard. I was lost and I didn't realize how lost I was til I started pursuing God.
Its been a rough uphill battle and everytime I feel like I'm just dangling over the edge about to fall, Hes there sustaining me.
A ride it has been and there's still a long way to go but genuinely, I'm grateful for His love and mercy
Praying for you, I saw a little of my story in yours. Keep at it, and may God cover you in the blood of the lamb.
Blessings to you on your spiritual journey 🌼🙏
Father Mike is such a great blessing! Makes the faith so understandable and easier to act upon in my life. His unassuming manner makes him so relatable! God bless you Father Mike and your ministry!
I’m not Catholic, I’m Lutheran, but I enjoy his videos. He seems to make topics more relatable.
@@mattneff1262 but like Lutherans, he ignores Exodus 20:8-11, sadly. the Command with God's seal in It. the One which starts with _'Remember'_ is most forgotten =(
Father Mike never gets old or boring! She was a very good woman that understood what he had to do in his life! We’re lucky to have Father Mike as a priest and she moved on to her calling! God bless them both! 🙏❤️✝️
A university chaplain I know is a spiritual 'dad' to students, not just a spiritual father. A priest for 53 years and a young-looking 77.
You are not an extra of another person’s life. So awesome.
BOOM 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
He is so awesome i found him through the Bible in a Year ! He is a special man God Bless you Father Mike 💙🙏🏼
Some of them are married behind the scenes and it was for rare cases.
I found Fr Mike in 2020 due to Covid. I truly believe God lead me to him. He has helped me reflect so much more on my own personal turmoil and has guided both my husband and I throughout our difficult times. Fr Mike is truly a blessing 🙏🏼
me too.
Event201video Planneddemic brah
Fr. Mike is a rock star., talks so fast, you have to keep up, but he's the real deal.
I need to use closed captioning because of hearing loss, but it helps me to keep up with Father Mike, too!! 🤣
he needs to slow down when he is speaking.
His ex seems like a very wise woman.
God works on those things😊
Wow, Megyn and Father Mike. Two of my all time favorites. What a great episode.
Loved this episode! I have been watching Fr Mike on TH-cam for a few years on Ascension Presents, & listening to Bible in a Year podcast He is incredible, he has such a beautiful humble way of teaching . Thank you Megyn for having him on your show!
Him and Father Mark Goring, teaching the truth, true gospel l in a simple way! Not twisting it, like many woke priests are doing.
Ah, definitely twisted
I'm a protestant, but I love Fr. Mike! He's a really good Bible teacher.
I love this priest I'm enjoying this interview immensely.
I enjoy Fr. Mike he is on fire for God. Thank you for having him on.
Praise God that He called Fr. Mike Schmitz to be one of priests for he is leading so many souls to salvation. May the Good Lord continue to bless Fr. Schmitz.
We love you and are so grateful to you, Father Mike. Thank you for saying yes to God.
That girlfriend was clearly devoted to the Lord, trusts him completely... amazing, very rare. ❤
My Mom's side of the family were all born and raised in St. Cloud, Minnesota. All of us cradle Catholics. I love Father Mike!!
Can I ask. What is your ethnic background?
German or Irish?
Megyn saying Father Mike is attractive was kinda funny 😂
He's a holy man, chill lol
LOL! God knows how to pick ‘em 🤣
He's adorable. Very engaging. It's ok he's easy on the eyes and ears.
Yeah, I was self conscious when she said that. I felt really cautious about that. He handled it in a wholesome way. No disrespect to Meghan.
@@jayniekinser7259 That’s not the first time he’s heard that, for sure. He’s learned how to deal with those comments.
He’s a handsome man!
I could sit and listen to this man for hours. He is so inspiring and calming, at the same time.
Wow. What great discernment for this young woman ! Such Grace. Thank You both
That’s our Fr. Mike. We are so very blessed by Him. Great interview. 🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful confirms my thoughts that Fr Mike is truly a man of God❤
Please have him on regularly! I'm mesmerized by him! Cant stop listening.
Father Mike is available on other youtube channels, namely "Ascension Presents" and "Ascension on Sunday" where he says Mass every week, ALWAYS prayerfully, more slowly, and gives an always- enriching homily!
@@patgarcia2010
Thank you for the info.
Fr. Mike’s Bible in a Year podcast is the best!
Yeah that’s a good idea!!! Have him more often!!
He’s in ascension presents & the hallow app
I LOVE Father Mike! He helped change my life for the better through his Bible in a year podcast. I would never have understood what I was reading without his help. He makes it easier to understand and enjoyable. This is why I am able to apply the teachings into my current life. I'm so grateful. I look forward to that 20 minutes each day. ❤️🙏
Thanks so much for the interview with Father Mike. I am following with him through The Bible in a Year. I’m a year late but all the days are still available on TH-cam. Loving the way he explains each days readings. A big thanks to Father Mike too! 😊
I started last year and now I’m on day 105. It’s awesome
Hi Megan. Also just found Fr. Mike. Love his simplicity and his ability to make a listener ""want more"". Thank you so much for this.
Father Mike , you are a blessing that happened in this era. Proud of you.
There are several of youngish priests on TH-cam who have had this experience. Fr. Chris Alar is another one. I think it's a good development. In my generation, boys often were persuaded into the seminary at a young age. Right about the same time Fr. Mike had his awakening. They never experienced loving and being loved and how to manage the carnal desires that come with that. A man who has gone thru it with a good woman and been victorious in his maintenance of chastity has a better understanding of the whole of human experience and can better serve the people under his care. He's not simply repeating learned rules.
Wow! Beautiful Testimony❤️❤️🙏🏻
I love when she says "forgive me lord" trust me sister you are not the only one praying for forgiveness constantly for the same reason 🙏
I say that when I have tender thoughts about caring for a lady. I am an autistic celibate.
@@pauljordan4452" autistics celibate", how are those two connected?
@@pauljordan4452 can you tell me more?
😭
Fr. Mike "Golly, wow" Schmitz. Praying for you, Father -- we love you.
A religious or a priest in a family is such a blessing beyond words… ✝️🛐🙏🏼💟 most don’t understand that, but for me it’s like winning the lottery and more…
So true. My 26year old (only son) graduated last December as a dentist. Throughout his whole life, I tried asking him to be a Priest. He’d just laugh it off. One day, I heard that mothers whose sons become Priests would all go to heaven (I know, I know..) so I told my son about this. And he said; “Mama, you’ve got to do this on your own.” He a good, practicing Catholic though. That’s good enough for me. God bless you, Delia.
@@Love_Divine same as my only son… I prayed to God even before he was born- if boy call him to priesthood, girl to religious life. 29 years after, a college degree from Loyola, a masters from DePaul, commissioned in a military, I’m not even sure if he still attends mass… 🙏🏼 well, there’s nothing I can do but pray for him. 🤷🏻♀️
Whoever married that lady got a keeper for sure. Like the Padre said God works on both ends
Great interview! His Bible in a year is really good!
Father Mike looks like he could be related to Mike Rowe. Looks and the way they talked. I thought I would not really care for this particular episode but it went so fast and ended wanting to hear more .You were very brave to discuss your negative confession experience.
I thought the same thing lol
He sure does!!
Me too!!
Great story. He is perfectly suited to his priestly life. May God bless him. Similar to discerning who you want to marry. You fall in love but then suddenly it is just not the right fit. Many prayers and tears with breaking up. But then everyone ends up with the partner God had in mind all the time.
Well this is perfect except not everyone ends up with the right one, but it is true that He does lead us.
You know what? I was refused the priesthood at 25. I am an autistic celibate because I am used to seeing long marriages and most females I know don't know how to behave like their mothers. Please God, now at 39, there is the right female for me,
Such a beautiful moment of Grace
Awesome! Thanks for having Father Mike on your show!
I'm kinda confused with this one. He got a Tattoo also. And almost married ? Now Priest. 😲
Plz explain becuz I'm Catholic and that's not okay for priest to do
🙏
He has an episode on tattoos. I personally don’t like them. Sometimes they don’t know what they’re vocation is. I know of many priest who almost got married. They are not always on the right track as young adults. It is a calling they later discover and except.
@@freedom4063 The New Testament says sin is in the inside- not the outside. It’s about the interior- not exterior.
His tattoo issue is between him and Jesus.
Priests are required to have an attraction to females as they become the groom and the church their bride. Marriage has to be an attractive option for them for a true calling. Discernment continues until a vow or promise is made.
Also- there are validly ordained married men in the priesthood... in both the Western and Eastern Catholic Church.
He really is so good looking
Well he almost got cast in a superhero movie
Love Fr. Mike! Thank you for having him on.
Father Mike is such a heaven sent blessing to the lives of many and I'm definitely one of those. Thank you for being such a reminder and educator on our roots through the catechism of the Catholic church. Not just transferring information but transforming lives ❤️
I'm on day 280 of my Bible in a Year. Do it y'all, God is calling our people to Himself stronger than ever. Cause it's not the healthy that need a doctor after all. 👀
Amen
It's so good I'm in my second time around. Looking forward to the "Catechism In A Year" next year.
Fr Mike Truly A Very Humble Son Of God Been Following The Reading Of The Bible Everyday ❤Thank You Lord Amen JMJ ❤
Fr. Mark thanks for always calling out right, right and wrong, wrong. I found church situation very confusing, and it's unfortunately also very difficult to get clarity. A lot of priests and Catholics are trying to be "politically correct" that at a certain point in time I was very confused about my faith.. Thanks for priests like you who are always courageous
Yes. It’s spreading to other churches some too. But the wise are standing strong.
Father Mike is a genuinely decent human being Special person
Love Father Mike Schmitz, God bless you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You never know who God chooses. One moment is all he needs.
That is an amazing testimony. You were meant for God alone. God bless you Fr Mike. 🙏
Amazing Testimony...
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Father Mike is amazing! He has also made Bible in a Year understandable. His joy is infectious. Very incredible man.
Great story Father Mike……..God Bless you for your ministry……
God called him to give up natural fatherhood to become a spiritual dad to so many.
Wow! How beautiful of you to say.
It’s hard to say anything negative about devoting yourself to others. I’m sure some will.
I just finished Bible In A Year with blessed Father Mike today!!! God Bless You, Father; I cried when I finished (a few times along the way)... I'm going to start all over AND take your Catechism in a year, and I'm so excited! Thank you, Father for bringing God's Word to so many!
Wow what a great testimony Father for both of you!
So, Father John, before the seminary, proposed to his girlfriend. She flatly told him "No, God wants you to be a priest." He is such a GOOD priest. But it must have been the happiest sad day in his life!
I love Fr. Mike. Im listening to Bible in a year with him and he makes it so interesting. I have learned so much. At the end of each podcast he always says he's praying for the listeners and hopes we are praying for him too. I always say God bless you Fr. Mike at the end.
What a beautiful Soul. God bless him & Beth.🙏
Praise the Lord
I am broken hearted and his story helped me accept the reality of the situation.
Unknown to you, you have helped me.
Thank you both for this episode.
I pray you find lasting peace and joy, @annabel braganza
Please slow down it's hard to grasp message!
Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your journey to the priesthood. God really blessed us choosing you and we are so blessed you accept His call. Thank you.
God bless
This was wonderful! I love how that seemingly devastating situation for his fiance turned out to b a blessing for them both! What faith! God is good!
Megyn, he is a spectacular priest & I thank you for having these episodes with him❤️🌎
Love Father Mike. So smart, kind, explains catechism so easily for me to understand. He helps me get closer to my Lord.
My priest is married, he as an amazing wife and kids. They are a faithful catholic family, and my pastor is the son of a Catholic priest ordained in Croatia. Both my pastor and his dad are amazing priests!
How did that happen?
Probably from Eastern Catholic Churches or convert to Catholicism.These are mostly married Priest comes from.
Megyn, I love your conversations with Fr. Mike! Keep him in your interview pipeline. In this greatly troubled world, he continues to give us hope.
Hi Fr Mike! I’m on day 270 of the podcast!!!
ill never forget the day i turned to the catholic church....i was an alcoholic and woke up after a week long drinking bender literally in the gutter looking at St. Matthews cathedral upside down and while i turned to get up a man put his hand out to me and said "let me help you up buddy, i know someone i think you should meet" he took me to mass that day and it just so happens the priest talked about Jesus healing the invalid man at the pool of Bethesda from John ch. 5 and that whole message spoke to me better than 6 years of therapy ever did! I became baptized that next year
Praise God!
Even St. Francis of Assisi did not become a priest of the Holy Eucharist because it is so high
God bless you Fr and thank you 🙏🙏🙏
God bless father Mike. Continue to be strong so you won’t fail to the snares of the devil.
Priests in the Bible were married. This is just another error within the Catholic church. Priests should be married. Know the scriptures.
@@mariadominguez116 how can you tell if the religion where you are is the right one??? All of them claim the same so how can you tell you are in the right one and is not one of the others ????
Pray and ask God to show you. Follow His peace.
Fr Mike's "Bible in a Year" presented by "Ascension Presents" is a game changer.
Now the masses who couldn't navigate the Holy Bible have it done for them..all they have to do is listen and discern from this affable and learned, holy and charasmatic priest.
I just hope and pray that he doesn't burn out and rests appropriately.
God Bless him, Scott Hahn and the team
This beautiful story brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing, Father Mike. Megyn, thank you for asking the question!
I totally misread the title - "How Father Mike Schmitz Almost Got Married with Megyn Kelly?" I'm thinking, this is going to be an awkward interview 😂. Thank you for sharing Fr. Mike. Very excited for CIAY. Doing BIAY this year and feeling so blessed.
I love this! God sent revelations of his calling and Father Mike answered even though it was very hard! I pray that God calls many that are not sure and questioning faith and purpose!❤❤❤❤
Goosebumps! Did you talk about his acting?
I love how lightly he wears his good looks. I’ve seen it both here and in other interviews. It isn’t news to him that people find him attractive, but he’s gracious about it and quickly moves the conversation along.
Megyn paying a subtle compliment to Father Mike. 😉 Go Father Mike!!
Subtle? I heard a compliment, but it wasn’t subtle! Completely understandable, though.
I just learned from him --- when he said that his girlfriend only wanted for him what God wanted for him. And what God wanted for her, too. I understand now and I do believe God loves us and has a plan for each of us individually. We matter to him. ❤️
❤
Great interview!
Wow! I loved this. God bless you both🙏
He’s the best looking Priest I have ever seen.💙
Thank you Father Mike for becoming a priest. I wish we had more Father Mike’s🙏🐸💕
I think the process was validated by having had a marvelous relationship beforehand.
Happy to see Father Mike here! God bless you Megyn :)
Love Fr Schmitz. I've been listening to his Catechism in a year. It's wonderful.
I am not Catholic, am Christian. I love the way Fr Mike explains everything. I love his enthusiasm.
Catholics are Christians
@@lois2997
Yes, I know. But not all Christians are Catholic.
I love Father Mike! And I really hope Kelly got something out of the interview..
What do you mean by that?
Praying for you Megan and family. May God give you the strength go for the annulment healing process.❤
I downloaded the Hallow App, and it is great listening to Father Mike!
Wow, great interview. As a person of faith, I get it. Thank you for this interview.
He’s fabulous!!!
God bless and protect you Father 🙏🏻✝️♥️ You are such a blessing to so many . Thank you for responding to the call of God ❤️❤️🙏🏻
This was so beautiful. I've followed Fr. Mike for years and have never heard him tell this exact part of him becoming a priest. I pray for our amazing priests and think often that the calling to become one is directly from God and quite a mystery to this world.
Love Fr. Mike!
I’ve been a big Fr. Mike fan for several years since first watching him on youtube. Then during the beer bug lockdown he started having a live online mass, his “virtual front pew” as he called it. Every single mass and homily are so heartfelt and 100 per cent his all is given for the Holy Trinity.
Same. He became my pastor when all the other churches were shut down. Three years later and I still don’t want to give him up.
Thank you for the interview with Father Mike, Megan. I really enjoyed it. He is an awesome priest. ❤
Fr. Mike is the bomb! Thank you for having him on!
