Wonderful homily regarding and encouraging confession!!! Very few priests are that willing to provide continuing formation about the whys of our Faith and Sacraments. Our Lady of the Gulf is one of the parishes that I hope to make a pilgrimage to once the pandemic finally abates. God's Blessings to all of you from Northwest Indiana!
I haven't been to church or confession since my son 33 committed suicide 5 years ago - I need to get back to church and I'm ashamed to go to confession as I have moved to a new area and don't know the priest - I will go back and I hope my sins will be forgiven - I'm 62 and was baptized Catholic about 13 years ago
@Mick King, I am praying for you. Going to confession isn't always easy. I assure you that going after to confession, you'll find the heavy burden lifted off of you. Understand, that you're speaking to God through the priest and there's nothing that you can say that will disturb the priest. This priest is so spot on about confession. I go almost on a monthly basis. I will not let the devil keep me from confession, as he hates it when someone repents of their sins.
There was a Sam Lusco where I live and I was friends with a Clint Lusco. The Holy Spirit directed me to Fr. Mike. I don’t like the preacher at our church. Great guy but his preaching style is very odd.
I’m so pleased to hear you say with pride that you are the “Real Deal”. I’m proud of you because it is SUPREME to be serving Our Lord with your life. Thank you and God Bless you! You’re an inspiration!💕
Fr. MICHAEL I THINK ALL OF THE MICHAELS have a special gift of homilies and talks .It is so wonderful to get touching our souls to be saints All the priests on you tube are so gifted helping millions.
Why do I get more out of me scrutinizing myself with my walk?Than I do from confessing in a booth. To be honest, I think their needs to be a bit more direction from a priest in confession, to get out of it, what is needed to come to a full acknowledgment whether the person needs to confess and bring that gift they offer, or lay their gift of confession down in the private booth, and make amends before returning.
He means you pray to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to bless or heal you with the holy water. I do this almost daily and I am not Catholic! You can receive holy water from any Catholic Church! It’s a blessing!!
Think these are some pertinent Bible verses related to this subject and is provided to those who want a quote from the Bible to support sacrament if confession. My understanding is Jesus created the sacrament of confession when he gave this authority to his disciples. I think the problem with confession is one has to say you will not do the sin anymore. The person wants a divorce, an abortion etc and the act is a sin. The easiest way is to go directly to God to remove the church from the process. Protestants allow this process. John 20. 21Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.” 22When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.” Matthew 16:19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
It's the devil doing this to you. Just remember that God as forgiven you. I deal with this issue, but I remember that I am forgiven and I focus on God.
I heard a Priest say he has many Protestants come to his confessions! You don’t have to be Catholic to go to confession, but I understand you don’t get the absolute if you’re not one.
Do you think you are smarter than this Priest I don’t think so.Let finish that discussion now is lent and we are preparing for Jesus Birthday.Peach among your people we don need your comments,God Bless You.
Think priest should cover Jesus creation of the church more often. Biblical authority for creation and power of the church concerning the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 16 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”…
Stop lying to people. There is no requirement to confess sins to a human priest. Jesus is the high priest. You are putting yourself in the place of Jesus. Going to confession is not grace. The forgiveness of Jesus is grace. The idea that an earthly priest who sins would give someone penance for their sins is heretical. An earthly priest can’t declare someone forgiven. Repent for this sin and stop leading people astray.
Love, love this story. How important and real!!!!!!!
You are the real, real, real thing. I have been blessed to know of you and hear your words.

“The real thing!” That is beautiful!!! Congratulations on an awesome vocation Fr. O’Connor
Thank you Father. Feeding the sheep. Touching hearts. God Bless 🙏
Great homily, Father. Greetings and love to everyone from London, England.🙏✝️
Back at Ya🙏
❤ Thank you Father! ❤
Very good, Father , we need more homilies on confession!
The holy water never left my tiny catholic "mission". The people, catholic and not, would not allow it. Brothers in Christ support each other.
Wow Yes Fr Mike you are the real thing!!!

Not too many people in North America now confessing ,Priests don’t talk about it like today Father Mike .
Thank you so much Father this was an absolutely wonderful. Thank you for being so true to our faith. May God bless you abundantly. 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love this Holy Priest..
My Lord and my God
Divine amnesia!
We confess our sins to our heavenly Father in the name of His Son Jesus. Not to any priest, Jesus is our Priest who gives access to the Father
Would you be able to show the entire mass? It is very uplifting to see the whole mass during the week. Why not on Sundays? Thank you!
I think is better to be present at Mass than see on TV unless you can’t.On TV you can listen additionaly diffrent Priests.
This channel also shows the entire Mass each day live. subscribe to the channel and click the bell foe all notifications

“Touching the water and blessing yourself”? How can one “bless” themself? Chapter and verse?

Wherein scripture are we to confess to a priest Psalm 51 David givea a good example of his confession and scripture says repent and be baptized
yes, but I'm haunted by my past sins even after confession
It's the devil doing this to you. Just remember that God as forgiven you. I deal with this issue, but I remember that I am forgiven and I focus on God.
Go to confession. Why? I am not a Catholic.
I heard a Priest say he has many Protestants come to his confessions! You don’t have to be Catholic to go to confession, but I understand you don’t get the absolute if you’re not one.
Only God has the power to forgive sins not man
Michael we Catholic know that I think you are on the wrong Chanel with your comment.
You said it brother .Beware of the PURPLE AND SCARLET. in the book of revelation 'Chapter 17 Verse 4
