  • Joy is the abiding sense of well-being. It is a feeling, but it is also a choice. But we do not choose joy itself. We must choose the source of joy. Love is the source of joy.

    Hi Father Mike, I'm the mom in a home for orphans and at risk kids in Kathmandu, Nepal. They are all college age now, and we have a little home church service each week. I sometimes think the kids would like to hear more than my own interpretations of scripture and my own thoughts, so I look on line for sermons or talks that I can show them from time to time. I stumbled upon this series of sermons and have been showing them to our kids each week. They are really perfect for this age group and they are enjoying them. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that your words are reaching people way on the other side of the globe!

    So, the sin I'm doing,
    Is worse than you not looking when your rejoicing something you didn't see,
    But stand up there make your point that what I'm doing is wrong,
    But could it be fatal that you didn't see what your doing either,
    Your vision is only looking one way.

    The source of Joy is God & the source of sadness is the world. Our Lady had 7 sorrows & is called Our Lady of Dolours. Joy is a Gift from God, a transcendent Gift. I don’t think that all these things are entirely up to us. God shares His Joy with us. Great words Fr Schmitz. I’m not overly concerned with what others say about me, but I concentrate on what God will say.

    Having some humility just don’t think or dwell on ourselves or self pity.
    Just think about ourselves less.🙏🙏🙏God save and bless all of us

    my mother died suddenly when I was a teenager. I couldn't make sense of it so I presumed it was my fault. It must be because I am evil and from then on Ive struggled with a mistrust of all parental figures including God the Father that they love me. I'm getting over it now and learning to trust but it's been 40 years in the wilderness. This homily both chastises and embraces me. Ive so much identified with the older brother in the parable of the prodigal son. There's a lot of pain bringing a life time of grief to the surface and you think it will destroy you, but it is healing. When we cry on Jesus' shoulder or His mother's shoulder; they put an arm around us and what can be better than that.

    And another strange thing - maybe not sinful, but - why sometimes a priests influences its surroundings a lot. the priest practices, let's say, crossfit and everyone around, I don't know why, practices crossfit. the priest eats and drinks or sings and everyone around repeats what is it? :) no person in the world can change me like this. And if this priest likes, eg, alcohol, it can be dangerous.

  • @katerinafarlikova3807
    @katerinafarlikova3807 ปีที่แล้ว

    And another thing is strange in a church - pickup priests as I say. Some priests want to get attention from women - like this strange old interview when a priest sat a little bit to close to a woman and even touched her with his shoulder and talked silly things like wine and beer are not alcoholic beverages. So weird, I could not see God at all, only a man who wanted to be slightly seductive and a woman who didn't mind :D I would at least say - do not touch me - move her chair away - or say - no you are wrong, do not promote alcohol here, this is a nasty thing - but she didn't say anything.
