What a beautiful homily. It is such a pleasure to listen to Fr. Michael. In my parish we have 2 priest from other countries, so hard to understand their homilies. Sometimes I feel like I have to go to another Mass, because I didn't get anything out of it. Other parishioners feel the same way. Very sad.
Hi Father Mike! I have listened to this sermon several times, this morning I have taken time to comment! Oh, So Powerful!! I saved it this time to listen daily! It brings me Joy & makes me smile every time, as though I’m hearing it for the first time…when you said you think you have too much Joy!😊 Too much Joy? Never! Prayer, Petition & Thanksgiving🙏🏽. I thank you for being you Fr Mike & listening to Our Heavenly Father’s call to Priesthood…Your Purpose!🙏🏽 Oh, what we would be missing had you not, or, should I say, we wouldn’t know what we would be missing! May God continue to Bless you Big, which in turn will be a Blessing to us all!🙏🏽
Father Mike I sent this to my son and daughter in law who are not catholic, but are suffering in their family dynamics. She has depression and anxiety, my granddaughter is acting out. Well after they listened to you, they asked me if this is what my church is like? I told them yes, every priest is different, but yes. They said , we'd like to come with you!!!! Thank you, Father Mike!! God is good!! Amen
That was very touching! Brought tears to eyes, yet Joy to my heart for you & them! 🙏🏽. Fr Mike…his Purpose!🙏🏽. May God continue to Bless you & your Family!
I wish you could have your own tv show ( I rarely watch tv.) You can never have too much joy in your life. I love what you say to all of us. Your prescription should be filled for all. May God continue to bless your ministry❣️🙏🏻
Pray For World Peace Everyday Especially for Our Brothers and Sisters in Israel & Ukraine Pray The Rosary and The Divine Mercy Chaplet Pray Without Ceasing! Thank You Rev. Mike O'Connor for Your Excellent Homily & God Bless.
You nailed it Fr., the GREAT DEPRESSION😢 They led to emptiness through the 'net, and other vices. The net is forced easily and early to yhe babies to be hooked on the vice of distraction.
Thank you Father Mike, Jesus is in your heart and mind, which is why you speak with wisdom. How I would like to see the priests near me speak like this, instead of just nice word's that mean nothing. You go in empty and you come out empty. I go for communion, as do others, but we don't get fed with truth. I'm getting old now and impatient for priests to be spirit filled priests, what use are they if they just say nice word's. Anyone can do that, and I ask, Why are they priests!! Please pray for my adult children, the enemy has had his way to long and it break's my heart. Why are priests afraid to say.. unless you are born of the Spirit you will not see God, or have the life you could have. I will never leave my faith, the church.. but I wish someone would wake up our priests and Bishops. God bless your priesthood from the UK
This YT channel should have WAY more subscribers and likes, your homilies are so helpful and fruitful!!! TY so much and may God Bless you always Father Michael!!!
Thank you Father Mike. I feel so many times, the homilies at my parish are so bland, no substance. Your homilies never disappoint. So rich in faith and substance. Bless you Father Mike
I felt the exact same way thanks be to God we recently were sent a good priest who takes the time to give good homilies like Father Michael's. The other lukewarm priest I just avoid his mass times! I pray that God sends your parish a good faithful priest soon---In Jesus's Name, I pray AMEN.
No wonder everything is a mess. Thank you Father Mike. We all need this message. I see the progression through the years and how society has become more and more as you described. I never thought things could get this bad. I am so thankful that we have a God that loves us. Salve Maria 🙏
AMEN. AMEN.....!!! Sooooo very true Dather Mike O'Connor. I am surrounded by such people.... it is so sad and definitely do not want to hear the truth when I tried to tell them or talk to them about Christ THE KING of kings. Greetings to you from the District Of Columbia.... famously known as Washington / Washington, DC. Viva Cristo Rey.
Our family is Catholic, but our daughters attend a non-denominational Christian school. Sadly, the local Catholic school options do not teach "Biblical World View." Sure, they have religion class and attend Mass on occasion but it seemed compartmentalized. This school focuses exactly on biblical world view. We do catechize our kids on the Catholic faith at home to fill in the lack of Catholic doctrine there. But they learn how God is present in every school subject, every aspect of life, and they are certainly memorizing tons of scripture! My prayer is that someday, Catholic schools will wake up and do this!
Fr. Mike, what a beautiful and powerful homily. Thank you for answering God’s call to become a priest. May God protect you from all harm!
We need this man- Fr Mike O'Connor, to be a bishop. That's my prayer.
Amen Fr Mike..our lives have a purpose. Most needed homily..it's so beautiful

You cerrainly were called. Is there no end to your talent to show us the way
They have no JOY because they do not know JESUS.
Everyone's life has purpose.
You forget to tell about the cross!
Beautiful homily Father Mike God bless you❤
