Me too. Our church is dead and lukewarm. I don't want to even go there anymore. I'm hungry for God...and our priests are serving first what is good for them God seems to be on the side. I feel like being among dead not joyful people who are happy to pray and worship
@@miriambochenek9083 Amen. Here too. I keep searching for "the place" where there is the true voice of God spoken instead of those so eager to convince us to bend to Satan's desires in the name of "tolerance, acceptance and coexistence". So I will keep attending THIS church, rather than exposing my eyes and ears to harmful compromise. God Bless you!
Wow!! Just WOW!! I was sitting in my dad's chair, missing him so much - he passed away on Father's day - feeling sorry for myself. And your words put the fire in my heart that there is so much more God has planned for me. Just because His plan for me to care for my dad the last several years and walk with him home to our eternal life is complete, there is another plan for me. I just need to spend more time in prayer asking for His guidance and once again prepare to sacrifice not only my body but my whole life once again for the glory of His Kingdom here on earth. Fr. Michael, you are and have been such a huge support for me in my journey. God bless you.
@@mariace4848 I am considering becoming Catholic. My son and daughter in law converted to Catholicism about 8 years ago. I am Christian but have not attended church regularly for about 6 years. I live in upstate South Caroline.
Get involved in R C iA. Just get there and listen.God will take over if you want to embrace catholicism. ĹDont worry you will always learn some good yjust the same. BE NOT. AFRAID.
I sincerely hope that your parishioners know what gift you are!! I'm from Minnesota and look forward to hearing your words everyday!!! God bless you Father!!!!
I will never give up on my boys. They are the image and likeness of God . …right now, they are choosing all kinds of ways of the flesh. I pray for their souls daily, and offer so much sacrifice for their conversion. Thank you for your strong, faithful delivery of God’s word.
God bless you, Father Mike, for your courage. Too many priests today are afraid to speak out and truly guide their parishioners in the ways of holiness. They all need to listen to you and learn from you. Thank you!
I was attacked today with impure thoughts on the Feast of the Nativity of Our Mother. So happy this was the first video to come up on my feed. I'm a new father to a beautiful 8 month old baby boy and I know the evil one wants to destroy my family. The term Church Militant has now found it's meaning within my spirit.
I write blog posts based on each chapter in the book, Thomas Kempis' "Imitation of Christ". Your homily this past week showed me to look for encouragement in the face of adversity. I deleted a post that was negative (moaning and griping) and am re-writing the post based on encouragement... how adversity can be beneficial to our faith. Thank you Father.
Father Mike your words are so encouraging. I think we all want the easy way out of all of our problems. But we all must realize that we must have crosses just like Jesus to reach heaven. Thank you Father for explaining this in words that we understand. God bless and protect you always!
Listened to Fr Mike today, nine months after he gave this homily and it is so very relevant to what I needed to hear today! May God richly bless you Fr Mike, just are you are a blessing to others. Staying true to the Word of God is the only safe path and the only SAFE PATH is the path of obedience. 🙏♥
You are an awesome priest. So many Catholics today are not as blessed with the word of God in there church. Thank you Father Michael you truly feed your flock and many more. 🙏
Thank you so much for your inspiring homily Father. I'm grateful for the encouraging words to live a holy life pleasing to God .We need to hear that Thank you for caring
If You want to follow Jesus,if You love Jesus with all your heart and soul TAKE THE CROSS there' s no other way to Heaven,to be in Kingdom of God🙏✝️🙏✝️♥️
Father, thank you for this voice of truth. The other voice is so strong and we're so susceptible to deceptions from all sides in these times. So thank you again for your clarity in simple terms.
Amen. Be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Receiving the holy eucharist, listening to God's word at mass and reading His holy word, and praying, all this leads to the renewal of our minds. Thank you Father for sharing God's way on how to live this life
Amen 🙏 May God raise up good shepherds in our churches, countries and our homes! Just what I needed to hear today! Ty Fr Mike for always pointing always us to God & His loving truth. God bless you
I so look forward to your homilies as they give me inspiration & are so needed in today’s world where we have so much conflict and confusing voices out here! Thank you again for speaking the Truth of the Gospel.. 🙏🙏🙏
Today Is The Feast Of Saint Gregory The Great Pope And Doctor: Saint Gregory was born at Rome in the Year 540. He rose through various public offices to the Prefecture which He Renounced. He entered the Monastic Life and once Ordained Deacon he discharged the duties of legate at Constantinople. On September 3rd 590 He was Elected Pope and proved to be a Good Shepherd He Instituted Liturgical Reforms and Organized Missions that sent Missionaries throughout England helping the Poor and strengthening the Faith. He wrote Extensively on Moral and Theological Subjects. He Died in the Year 604. Saint Gregory The Great Pope And Doctor Pray For Us.
Amen! Speak the Truth! I was reflecting as Fr O'Conner speaks, that Catholic doctrine has always been formed, even 'evolved' (not changed) but as understanding of some nuances increases, by dogmatic Councils. All the world's bishops, with the Pope, and bishops often have expert theologians as advisors - 'periti' I believe they are called. But now, this "innovation" of a "synod", without involving all the bishops. Worse, it is not even a sincere synod comprising real experts. It is a synod whereby the heretics are deliberately handpicked - like James Martin in USA, or the most rebellous liberal of the German bishops. And in turn, these heretic clergy have invited laity - ostensibly to "listen to the voice of the people" - but again, it is the rebels, the activists who are chosen, while the conservatives, the traditionalists, the orthodox are not welcome and not invited. And thus, we will see a REPLAY of Aaron and "the voice of the people". In at least 2 situations now, first the "voice of the people" created the Golden Calf, and secondly the "voice of the people" chose Barabbas. So it is not correct that if you get all the laity together, they will have the voice of the Holy Spirit. Why, when all are baptised? I think it's because the laity are also easily fooled both by the culture, and by the Devil, who is more cunning than any human. If he can fool Peter, he can fool average Joe and Jane. Just look at the world today. And thus, in best light, Bergoglio pushing the Synod is a naive fool. But I don't think he is a naive fool; plus the Germans already show where it is headed for, and alarm bells should be ringing in anyone with half a brain cell awake. Which means that all this is deliberate. Houston, we have a problem - Judas II has evolved more cunning.
I'm from Washington state. You appeared in my recommended videos, and I rarely hear homilies this good up here in this corner. Thank you for being such a wonderful homilist.
Fr.Mike,I love watching your homily today.i watch Mass everyday from Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church.i always watch Sunday after I get home from my church,St.Ambrose,Kalamazoo,Michigan. You are so inspiring! I pray for all of you.God Bless !
Listening from Medjugorje...even on pilgrimage I wont deny myself your homilies :) Praying for you and all our Priests. You're a great gift to the Church Fr O Connor.
IFIN WE GIVE UP ON ONE WE WILL GIVE UP ON ALLLL N THEN WHOM CAN BE SECURE IN LOVE N CARE N TRUST N BELIEF IN YOU EVER. ONCE YOU GIVE UP N GIVE IN .... EASY IS THE WIDE PATH THAT LEAD TO DESTRUCTION OF YOU. 🙏🌹☀️🔥❤️🕊️💯💖✝️ 17:40
Love every Sermon. The truth is hard to hear , but even Harder to say . Especially now . Some may call you an extremist, even in our own Church . So many want to just be inclusive. Thank You Father for being a true voice of the Holy Spirit. May you be Blessed among Men for the ministry of truth .
Thank you for your courage and clarity. Sermons should always be like this. Passionate, compassionate and tying the readings to specific circumstances you and your parishioners are dealing with.
I love it, I've never thought about it this way. when we are wishing for difficulties to go away is the voice of satan, instead we need to carry our cross/ difficulties KNOWING that God will be glorified when we face them and win with his help. (hallowed be they name when your will is done through us)
