OODA, what a wonderful "formula" for living in a broken, ever changing world according to Gods will. "Playing with the nails", Wow! I followed Gods command to move 2,000 to be near my grandchildren. My directions and choices change daily. Some days i am to "be still", some days i am to be like David the defender, and other days i am to be the "shepherd" for these poor "sheep" who have never even been introduced to God's luscious fields. Thanks Fr Mike for putting all this into words and helping me to see why somedays i wait and some days He changes MY plans. God bless you, Fr Mike and Ascension.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9 Catholics don't even match the Bible. The Holy water, Nuns, forced celibacy, etc.
Orient. I’m here - I accept - what would God want from me right now. I have only just recently began to interact with life this way on an intentional basis. It works.

Just finished the Bible in a year, thank you Father Mike, you made it wonderful & made me cry at the end, you really made me feel like you cared, thank you ❣️
I could never live life thinking its a war and everyone is out to get you. ....never harm anything or anyone, help everyone and everything. God is Love. Love everything and you will understand. God is amazing and we wouldn't be here without God, so lets be the best we can be. NEVER HARM ANYTHING OR ANYONE. If you harm anything or anyone you are mentally handicapped. The pathetic devil is mentally handicapped. Don't be like that coward. Be an angel of the Lord. Love Everything. God bless everyone and everything.
Thank you for the reminder to continually thank God and His one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church for teaching us to remain in Him by keeping His commandments.
Maybe, one of the best Homily's I have ever heard. Thank you Fr. Schmitz. I will play this over many times so as not to miss a thing. Inspired by the Word of God. Thank you.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9 Catholics don't even match the Bible. The Holy water, Nuns, forced celibacy, etc.
Father Mike is like a treasure in the field ❤️! I’m so happy he decided to be ordained to be a priest. I can’t believe he came so close to chosing not to do it. I can’t imagine my life without Father Mike’s Homilies. His homilies along with the hallow app single-handedly contributed to my conversion this year. Now I have more joy in my life and I can finally appreciate all the blessings God gives me each day. I am changed and I never want to go back.
I took notes on this. "I trust that you want me here and if you want me to leave you will make it so clear that i will not be confused". Living with a covert narcissist is hard but i nerver think of divorce, so this must be where He wants me to me. I will trust. Thank-you.
When you leave the covert, meet an overt and crawling away barely making out the covert moves into your mom's house and starts gathering examples of exploited vulnerability to take your parental rights. And you find yourself wanting Jesus to be an asteroid or a covert seeking dinosaur.😢.

" As we approached we were so moved to see that they had inscribed on the door in gold the names of the American men and women killed freeing Kuwait. The inscription read: When a man gives you the key to his home, it means that you are the best and most valuable friend to him; and when a man gives you the door of his home , it means that you are one of his family." BARBARA BUSH, A MEMOIR. 🇺🇸🔥
God is so kind. Through this homily, I learned how to communicate with the Lord. For as long as I remember, I always ask what God wants me to do with this life, hoping that He will tell me how I should spend my entire life. Now I realized, each moment, to walk with God, the question is like what Fr Mike said here: God, what do you want me to do now? Thank you Fr Mike.
This is the most impactful and beautiful homily I’ve ever heard. ‘If you want peace prepare for war.’ I have been struggling with my faith recently. As things in my life have been difficult for many years and aren’t changing no matter what I pray for or do to make it better. This homily was a tremendous gift. Thank you. I am going to listen to it often.❤🙏🏽
So perfectly timely! "So good!" (LOL!) Been bingeing Fr. Mike & the A-Team's BIY (on target to finish in 3.5 months)... to-date, over 110 poems (like psalms) have poured out through my pen. "What's my next move, God?" has been a question with the answer: "Call Father Mike when you're done." I guess the board just changed because I'm typing this! BAH! I'm reading WISDOM now! Oh this is just sooooooooo good! "I pray for you, Fr. Mike, please pray for me & God's poem pen." Keep being fantastic in the LORD.
Sounds like working a as a nurse in emergencies and urgencies ....and intuition, anticipating needs.... spiritual and mental bootcamp for life came on the ground in a nursing career - and battling childhood trauma which if you have the gift of understanding, and empathy, that childhood suffering doesn't stay in childhood, but you are a magnet for more abuse everywhere else, including with "church people." Yes yes yes, excellent again Fr Mike. All of it - packaged so well and concise from no peace with out confronting that which obstructs it. Understanding = 'triage' :)
Thanks you very much for this sermon. This couldn't have come at a better time, I definitely have alot to work in my life using the OODA loop method. May God continue to keep you and give you understanding to make videos like this. Much love from Cameroon, Africa❤
Lol it's a good homily for climate change. We can't waste time reminiscing about when it used to snow. We have to deal with the world the way it is now
Options ... People have too complicated lifestyle. You have to go anywhere by car or by plane. We don't use our car at all 😀 we go by train, by bus, by foot. I go to the grocery store by foot with my backpack and I want to continue to do that. This is very simple.
My goodness... Has anyone read The Clergyman's Daughter, by George Orwell? I'm in the middle of it, and the character of Dorothy does OODA pretty well!!! 😅 God Bless 🙏 1yr late 🤭
Hi Father Mike I am Bernadette Narain from South Africa. Father I am a widow and have 5 really wayward children. Addiction and depression and sinful living and I have financial problems big problems I am 63 I don't know what to do with my broken family 💔 lost and broken all of us
Interesting... I'm a wanna-be Catholic whose faux Catholic fiancee turned into Pious Narcspouse (who eventually cheated on me + did a bit worse over time). Studying scripture was my saving grace through this Hell... i meant 17yr marriage. I would sing a church song, taught to me as a kid to help memorize the OT&NT books in order, more than once when he was abusing me. It's all made me realize what a garbage catholic HE was. The church & its doctrines can't always be blamed for crappy practitioners, is what i walked away with... Peace 🕊️ & Solace.
God knows all things, even the secret things of the hearts of men. We can not hide from God, even if we try to hide from ourselves... God knows all things: ROMANS 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. ROMANS 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. MATTHEW 6:20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I heard a person looks suspiciously when he goes by foot and even that not everywhere in towns are sidewalks, like this is normal to drive to your door and not to go to your door, like normal people doing. This is crazy. People have no choice but to use a car, which is highly non-ecological.

I look forward to the church giving up all of its assets, reliquishing all its trust funds and dispensing all its wealth. You was on a roll, then I got the 'you will own nothing and be happy' WEF narrative. Of course that doesnt actually apply to the WEF either. 😏
And there are no options for women in society. Who talks about feminism? I don't see any. Women must have their hair done (and DYED, brr), their nails done, their face done in many ways, to wear stylish clothing and narrow shoes. I never dyed my hair and I cut it myself, I cut my nails with scissors, I wear makeup only if I want (not daily), I refuse to do any other face treatment, than a cream (now my child's cream) and a serum and my hairstyle is called "comb and go". I don't even count a number of backslashes from a society for this revolt. This is so stupid. Just imagine, I have to have fake hair to be accepted. No way.
I was the worst banana grams sore loser. I was that annoying guy who would get pissed that I was losing and then just start spelling words wrong and flipping my w's to make an m or flipping my D's to make a p. Then I started using Spanish words and when I got really mad just random letters.
Thank you Father
Thank you ❤️ ❤❤I love you ❤️ LORD GOD ❤️ Amen ❤️ 🙏🏽 Hallelujah GLORY To GOD Amen ❤️ 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 Thank you LORD ❤️ 😊 🙏🏽
The holy mass and the eucharist have infinite, eternal value in my life.

Yay... the Sacraments! 🎉
Ephesians 6 provides very wise counsel in such matters.
Maybe, one of the best Homily's I have ever heard. Thank you Fr. Schmitz. I will play this over many times so as not to miss a thing. Inspired by the Word of God.

One day at a time (ODAAT)
I took notes on this.
"I trust that you want me here and if you want me to leave you will make it so clear that i will not be confused". Living with a covert narcissist is hard but i nerver think of divorce, so this must be where He wants me to me. I will trust. Thank-you.
When you leave the covert, meet an overt and crawling away barely making out the covert moves into your mom's house and starts gathering examples of exploited vulnerability to take your parental rights. And you find yourself wanting Jesus to be an asteroid or a covert seeking dinosaur.😢.
This is the best explanation of walking in faith I ever heard! It's awesome God bless you Father Mike
Thank you Father Mike for this beautiful homily. God bless you for your work on saving souls for Christ. 💓🙏

Thank you Fr Mike!! Always listen to your homily with a pen and paper after attending Mass.
Jesus, I Trust in You.
May Your Will be done. ☀️🙏🕊

What a great homily. God bless you Fr. You just nail it in our hearts with your strong examples like how Jesus used parables. Amazing
“Jesus lead, I follow”

Another movie review, book report, obscure hero worship … omg: there probably was Seminary education about New Testament!
Listen again with an open heart, and you will find this anchored in Scripture. God bless.
