At a time in my life where I was at my lowest, struggling through work to just not break down in tears. During my lunch break in a random parking lot I reflecting on my sorrows in the worst way possible. A stranger driving through turned around, came up to my truck and handed me a card and simply said "I'm not sure why but I feel like you need this". He walked off looking awkward and I could tell it wasn't something he wanted to do. But then I looked at the card and it was a picture of the holy spirit as a dove descending from heaven and on the back was the prayer I needed right then.
Some years ago, I saw a frail, homeless, elderly lady on the metro train in L.A. I felt compelled to invite her to join me at the McDonald's at the end of the line. I didn't have much money. She said yes. I got her dinner for her and we started talking. She told me how her rent had been raised and she couldn't afford her apartment, she had no family. At the end of our meal and time together. I asked her what her name was so I could pray for her. She told me her name...it was Barbara (which is my name). God bless her.
Went to get coffee at work and I was in uniform. A guy sitting at the table asked me if I knew his grandpa that retired from the same law enforcement agency. When he said his name I said, I said of course I know him, he helped me get on track to get hired! He told me that his grandfather had a stroke a few days ago. He was okay, but still at the hospital. I left the coffee shop, picked some wild flowers and went to visit him in the hospital. It was amazing and such a blessing for him and me too.
One huge interruption in my life was when my 15 year old son got lymphoma. It turned my life upside down. I had to leave work and live at the hospital to attend to his needs. In the end I found Mother Mary and Jesus had a plan. I asked mother Mary to intercede on my behalf with her son. She did and a peace came over me. My son was cured in 4 months and I’ve been closer to God since. It was not an interruption but divine intervention. The good was worked right through the turmoil. Now I appreciate everything more….especially good health. And all my blessings!
I was driving and my dad made me take a "shortcut" that messed up my whole route and I was really annoyed. On this shortcut however, we saw a baby kitten on the pavement and she looked as if she was going to die. She didn't even flinch when we picked her up and carried her to the vet who said that she is weakened by fleas and worms. We carried her home not expecting her to survive but now she is such a blossomed healthy playful amazing little kitty! She brings my family together and kills us with love and affection. She is TRULY a blessing- and all because of an interruption.
I don't know if I have a really good story of a divine appointment but I did have one a couple months ago and I think it was holy week and I was just reading something about talking to someone about God and who He is. When I was reading it, I felt something in me and I immediately recognize that God was talking to me and for whatever reason, He told me to go and tell my friend about it. I was asking Him like, "Why her?" But I did do it anyway and lo and behold a couple hours later, I got a message saying she was happy that I texted her this because she asked God for a sign if Her is present and here. After seeing that message, I kinda broke down and told God, "How powerful are You?" This is my story of kind of a divine appointment.
Yes the Holy Spirit got your attention. I had a similar experience with an immense amount of love that I can’t explain. Don’t get swayed ! Read the holy Bible , pray in silence and invite the Holy Spirit again. I thought I was happy before but now I know what God’s love is and I don’t ever want to go back to my old way of living. I wish people understood but I know they see a difference
Just had a wonderful Divine interruption two days ago. I was preparing to leave the house for a shopping chore when it started to rain very hard. I was a bit annoyed but decided to wait it out for a bit. Right when the rain stopped I picked up my keys. Just then a truck pulled into the driveway and out stepped a cousin I had not seen in twenty years. He said he was traveling for work and felt the need to detour a few mile to stop and see us. It was the best surprise visit ever. And God sent the rain to keep me there long enough to be home when he got there.
A few weeks ago I was sitting on my bed watching tv. I suddenly had an overwhelming feeling that I should pray for one of my friends. I texted her that I was thinking about her and I love her very much. She texted back me later that night. At that very moment I had texted her she was at her mother's bedside as her mother went to be with our Lord.
I had plans to have a family, kids and small farm. It seems God has said no to that and instead is calling me to give up those things and help others. I'm attempting this by opening a non profit to serve those with mental illness. God is the ultimate interruption.
This probably counts, but when I was in college, I studied abroad in the UK. The university I was at had a Catholic chaplaincy and every week they would have a benediction, a talk from the priest, and then a trip to the pub. I was still trying to figure out my faith and I started talking to this convert who told me something to the effect of "Perhaps God has a reason for us meeting like this" and instantly I suspected "foreshadowing". Long story short that person was instrumental in bringing me back to Catholicism
Id like to share something that happened to me few years ago. I was going through some tough times at my university and family. I was doing really bad at school. I had one of those last chance exams. If I failed this test i would get expelled from school. It was that bad. So I spend a whole year preparing for the other classes and for this specific test. I knew and dominated every single subject on the books. But my family problems came back the night before the test. I was so depressed because of that. I started to think I was going to fail. On the hour before the test I went outside of the university to have a smoke. Right in the middle of the street. A lot of people walking by minding their bussines. And I stared blank into the void. I dont know how much time was it. But an oldman stumbling across the sidewalk came near me. And said to me: "Dont worry everything its gonna be fine young man". And he left. My face was like I could not process what or why he said that to me. But it felt so good, caring and charming. That i could not help but follow him with my eyes as he dissapeared in the streets. That moment i realized i was talking to something else that wasnt human. But not perverse in any kind of way. Totally the opposite. Someone so good and charming.Never seen that man again in my life. Sometimes when Im walking in that street I look both sides trying to find him. Thanks! Wherever you are. I needed that. Hope you are ok. I passed the test and even the professors gave me a weird look because they didnt expect me doing so good in that test. They still look at me weird haha.
Watching CNBC at 7 am a few weeks ago. Major neck pain occurred out of nowhere. Went to see my chiropractor at 8:00am who has walk in. He stopped walk in a year ago, but was doing a bible study with a few other guys in his office. He invited me to stay, now I’m going every week. He also gave me an adjustment. God wanted me there
When I was 19, I was speeding. I’m embarrassed but I was driving in Phoenix going 99 in a 65 and I got pulled over. If it weren’t for the Cop to pull me over who knows what would have happened. Looking back I know God put that cop there for a reason❤️
I once had a major exam coming up that I was preparing for. But just a week before the exam, I got the news that I would have to prepare and submit a couple of assignments and also sit for a test the same week (for which I had no time). I was absolutely devastated because of these interruptions and broke down. At that moment I prayed and I heard a small still voice in my heart, "Faith can move mountains." With all my heart, in the presence of God I said to the mountains, "Move." I felt peace as I surrendered everything to God's will. A couple of days later I learnt that all those interruptions had been postponed. I thank God for bringing me closer to Himself through interruptions :)
there is NO WAY this is the VERY SPECIFIC thing i've been struggling with *today* and trying to be charitable about it and you just post this. no way. im tearing up lol
I was very much goal oriented,enjoying life with whatever I had, totally in the world,but later I started feeling lonely and asked God for a friend, that was the first time I did so and couple of weeks later, I met a guy, whom I met 4years ago and we got back to be friends again and I started getting closer to God. It was a divine appointment.
I started to receive panic attacks in my early young adult years. It was a huge interruption of my life. But I, at the time, was losing hope in all sorts of ways. Basically seeing so many people that I knew going into different directions, I felt that everything I knew was being destroyed, because I had no permanent foundation. My faith was not based on anything solid. Having those anxiety attacks helped me take a step back and really figure out what was most important in life. And I am grateful to God for it.
Sometimes when I get interrupted while doing something important, I've noticed that coming away from and then being able to refocus on that primary task can be a blessing. It gives an opportunity to look at everything again and sometimes I see things that I was so focused on before that I hadn't considered, putting me in a better place than I was in before the interruption.
As a small business owner, I needed to hear this. Your video spoke directly to my current situation, and all I could ask myself is “things are going bad right now but what am I to learn from this”. God always has his plan for us and when we are interrupted I often feel like He is preparing us for something bigger that is coming or has something better in store for us altogether. Bless you for taking the time to make these videos. This word gave me the strength I need to get back up again.
maria marquez Amen sister, He has you💗 Thank you for having been on the frontlines for us during this rough time. The best is yet to come for you! I wish you good health, a solid recovery, & blessings for you and your family ❤️
Nova Capili..thank you for your well wishes 🙏..loved my profession and I asked God even after death..if I can still be a Nurse I'll continue to do my duty with compassion and love ❤ I was one of the first frontliners who got Covid in March of last year
@@GeneralSeptem Could be jew, but that sentence makes no sense. If that Deity gave humans free will then everything that takes place cannot be willed or allowed by "Him"(could be also "Her") because it contradicts gift of free will.
The SCANDALS that we witness, experience, and hear about - they are Divine interruptions and appointments permitted by God for us to glorify him by persevering in virtues like forgiveness, forbearance, praying for sinners, praying for the scandalised, instructing the morally ignorant, counselling the morally doubtful, fraternally correcting sinners, comforting the afflicted, trusting in the Lord's judgment and final justice and not our own.
The thumbnail of this video looks like how a parent looks at their child when they're doing something wrong in public but they don't want to cause a scene. 🤣
About 12 years ago I had some health complications that forced me to spend less time doing the things that I enjoyed doing in life, even stop doing them in some cases. Helping out on the family farm, working overtime, and going out to eat name a few. I am convinced that if it wasn't for that "interruption" in my life, I never would have met my now wife, and be blessed with an amazing marriage and two beautiful daughters. I also sometimes wonder if it was God's way answering my grandmas prayers too.
Father Mike, usually when I'm surfing TH-cam trying to excape from life's secular distractions, suddenly.. your video messages interrupt me 😲.. giving me a renewed sence of focus on my divine path. Blessings from Knock Shrine Ireland, Danny 😉😁
started to listen to see if you had anything to say to the interrupters. (i.e. me) 😬 However ... *maybe* this story counts: returned from a trip and my niece picked me up & brought me back to my car at her house but my car wouldn’t start. after 20 minutes I got it going. I came across an accident (deer vs car) on the way home & couldn’t help but wonder if that would’ve been me if my car started immediately. Another time I had a nudge to visit my uncle at his bakery on the way home. We made plans to meet up the following Sunday, but he died that Friday. Glad i visited when i did.
Thank you, Fr. Mike. Timely message for parents multitasking during this time and the last year. As a father to 3 under 5 I see a lot of interruptions while working from home. It can rob you of your peace and joy. Thank you for this. Thank you to listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. God bless
Strangely enough, I struggle with what I believe, (weather science is truth or God, or both) I tend to sleep in late.. but for some reason always I wake up on Sundays with energy I never have any other day just in time to tune in to live mass... (& I WANT TO) it may not sound to significant to some but to me it’s something that pulls me away from what I do normally or WANT to do and I just... just listen.. and for that one hour I can feel it.. for that one hour that noise of the “WORLD” goes away and in my heart I feel like some newness growing...
For those who don't know how to look something up and instead make a joke about a sick baby: Blue baby syndrome: Blue baby syndrome can refer to a number of conditions that affect oxygen transportation in the blood, resulting in blueness of the skin in babies. Both of these conditions cause cyanosis, or a bluish discoloration of skin or mucous membranes. Normally, oxygenated blood appears red and deoxygenated blood has more of a blue appearance. In babies with low levels of oxygen or mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, the blood can have a blue or purple color, causing cyanosis.
I’m so happy I got to see you at Steubenville last weekend! Thank you so much and I love when you said that Satin calls you by your sin but God calls you by your name. Thank you for literally helping me and my huge group!!!! God bless!! 🙏
Thank u Father Mike 💫 Every single person has a guardian angel. It is a gift from God and it never leaves us for one moment, from our birth to after our death. Our guardian angel will always help us to see every encounter in our life as a divine intervention.
Great message, Fr. Mike! My "divine appointment" came in 2017 during Lent. I was living a lifestyle that most likely kept me separated from God. I had not practiced my faith since 1998. God in essence interrupted my life (for the good) that caused me to re-evaluate my life, make the necessary changes (although it is a daily struggle which I thank God for), and allowed me to return to Him through His Church as a practicing Roman Catholic. I am always happy to share my story if it will help others return to Christ and love Him as I did and do. Thank you.
Staying focused to live a dynamic relationship with God as one's priority; to fulfill the primary obligation towards God's calling in life is a primary task for a Christian.
This video came up at the right time.I was struggling between doing what i thought would be better for me in the long ,versus interrupting my plans to meet the expectations of my family.Seeing this has brought so much peace and perspective to my situation.I now know God us asking me to trust Him more.He truly lives.
After my sister passed away suddenly, I was in a state of grief, really exhausted and despite praying didn’t feel any consolation. Besides the exhaustion from grief, trying to help take care of things, etc, it turned out I was pregnant. My grief turned to gratitude for this new, very unexpected life. My son Raphael is 11 now, and I thank God for the timing that I initially thought was inopportune.
I live in NY and flew to Florida to buy a nice mustang to drive back. I didn't know how to drive stick that well so i had to learn while driving on i95 north. Every state i crossed was a different adventure. Many cars broke down on the side, items scattered all over after an 18 wheeler crashed, rain so thick i can barely see the hood of my car let alone the road passing by 18 wheelers but lightning helped for those brief moments in the night, wild fires and driving through the thick smoke all roads closed but not i95, beautiful stars after i passed the storm. I make to New Jersey and I'm almost home but right when i said to myself flat tire, i get a flat tire on New Jersey Turnpike on a Sunday morning. I grab the jack but no lug wrench, i called the owner he gave me an attitude so i called car service and In case you didn't know in New Jersey they don't work on sunday, no truck service no mechanic shop. I felt stuck and i was mad i screamed at the sky is this the best you can do God? Just then a white Toyota Camry pulled over parrallel from me but across the turnpike. A black man gets out of his car and to the trunk. I run to him for help. I asked is everything alright? He told me he was making sure he has all the presents to give to the church. I told him my car broke down and don't have a wrench. He pulled out a wrench and said i don't think it will fit on an American car. It turns out the lug wrench he had was for American cars and not Japanese. I asked if i could use it I'll be very quick. He was patient while checking his watch and said i have to go i don't want to be late for church, you keep the wrench as a gift. After i fixed the tire while driving back home i was very emotional. The drive was a great experience, many obstacles that got in my way but couldn't stop me and right when i almost make it to the finish line i was interrupted by a flat tire and lost my cool only to cross paths with an old black man on his way to give presents to people he loves. I learned a lot from that experience and have never felt so humble and humiliated. I made it back in 17 hours no rest only stopped for gas and quick bite to eat.
Covid!!! When this crazy time began, I started to pray like when I was about to receive my first communion (40 years ago) I believe this was and still is my divine appointment. I'm happy it wasn't too late for me to redirect my attention where always had to be God bless you father Mike. I love what you do for us, I love listening to your family's stories, I'm reading the Bible with you everyday Always in my prayers, everyone See you....I mean, watch you tomorrow father Mike 🙏 👋😃 Blessings
Driving then saw a elderly man pass in a long older black car . He had pure white hair and small shaped glasses . He reminded me of my Grandfather . So now at Lorado and highway 87 stopped for a red light . Later the light turned green . My van was filled a cloudy like presence . Knowing in my head saying Don't Go . So I waited for a few seconds . A very Large Sandtruck came barreling past me . The man in the Hugh truck stared at me . My Angels saved that day . Alive because of my Angels protection .Thank You Jesus !
It has been a long time since I have watched ascension presents and I remember it being such a good influence I now know that my time away searching for other answers from people who ultimately are also looking for the same answers I am was a divine appointment I had God bless you all
Have you considered adding closed captions to your videos? It helps the deaf, hard of hearing, and non-native English speakers, as well as allows for more accurate translations into other languages.
My divine appointment named was Mike (good name eh?). I was driving across a mountain pass when the pass suddenly closed for rock blasting. I found myself along with hundreds of other passengers drivers stuck for at least an hour during a late summers evening. Mike's truck was a few cars ahead mine and he was standing with the hood up and the tell tale line of smoke that bespoke an overheated vehicle. I could tell from his body language and the way he spoke into his phone he was not prepared for this situation. As my car had a tendency to overheat also, I had coolant in my trunk. I was an early twenties female and he a mid fifties male, social convention would have this situation reversed. But I thought, what the heck, he needs something, and I can help. I brought the coolant up to him and said, hey do you need some help? The look of absolute relief in his eyes said everything. He thanked me profusely and tried to pay me for the coolant (I told him to just pay it forward). We put the coolant into his truck and he told me a bit about his life. Turns out he was on his way to join his hospitalized wife who was about to get the news on whether the treatments had worked and whether she would have months or years to spend with him. We talked for the whole time the traffic sat there. He told me about his life, and I had the Supreme privilege of telling him about Christ's love. When it started moving I gave him two miraculous medals, we both went back to our respective cars and drove out of each other's lives. I still think about him occasionally and hope he is doing well.
I hate getting interrupted when I'm praying especially in church. People tap me on the shoulder while I'm either standing at the beginning of mass saying the 'I confess', or kneeling, and they want me to move aside so they can get into the pew.... While I am actually talking to God.!!!😳🤷
Sometimes we need to move to the center of the pew to start with so others are able to find a seat. I've always found that interruptions at Mass mean that there is an exclamation point being put on that part of the Mass. I thank God for this exclamation points.
I don't like that either but I try to use it as a reminder to focus more on what is going on on the altar than what is going on around me. I try to always sit in the front, a lot less distractions. God bless us all.
So we live next door to a govt housing duplex and a new family moved in. For certain reasons I honestly didnt really like the idea of having this new family as neighbors. Anywho the other day these kids gave my mom a baby bird they had found. It was little fledging, from previous experience I automatically assumed it would die. I looked information on what to feed it and was a bit annoyed I had to help feed and clean him if he was probably going to die. & having to leave work at certain times (I dislike) just to feed the bird. Well this baby bird is eating, and learning how to fly. Seeing his expressions and watching him grow is what gives my mom a lot of happiness. Of course I'm also happy but this baby bird really has made my mom happy. Which I am forever greatful
I work at a Drs here in rainy England. We have a beautiful court yard where i like to go at lunch to say my Rosary. I feel after the wave of stress that morning brings it always helps me go back from lunch more refreshed and with a loving heart… However last week half way around my Rosary a Nurse (who has barely spoken 3 words to me before) comes to the court yard and begins to talk with me. It is easy at this point to roll my eyes and think ‘well this doesn’t fit in with my prayers and is very distracting’. But as the conversation goes on the Nurse begins to really open up.. i find out how stressed she is both work and home and she clearly needs someone to talk to. At this point i put my Rosary away safe in the knowledge that A: i can say it later and B: God clearly wanted me to listen to this poor stressed nurse instead. We are all where we i suppose to be guys.. even when we cant always see why 🙏
I fell real ill recently and began to worry because I knew that it was my stress taking over my mind and body. I wondered why I had to feel if again after going through therapy years ago. Then I realized that it was God reminding me what I could go back to when I don’t implement a daily prayer or meditation.
I have a 15 year old son. Two weeks ago I got a call from school. I had to pick him up because a drop of savia from a tree had fallen just into his right eye. He was in utter pain. He screamed all the way to the ER, scaring my three year old girl real bad. After they told him that in 2 hours the pain would go away, he screamed all the way back home (20 minutes each way). Throughout this time, I was praying Hail Mary after Hail Mary in silence. I knew the Lord had something very good in mind. I knew He was next to us, though I could not feel Him. I started thanking him for whatever He was doing. Juan Martín was better 2 hours later but he still remembers that day, the screaming and the pain and he speaks about it. It gives me the perfect opportunity to discuss with him and his brother (they are both receiving confirmation on Nov 18 - please pray) about the mysterious ways the Lord is present and loving and working. Thank you from Argentina father Mike. I often download, chop and translate your lectures. I am praying for you.
I needed to hear Fr. Mike's video. The one thing that drives me crazy is to be interrupted when I'm focusing or concentrating on something. And the interruption is usually something I consider very unimportant. I usually don't say anything about it, but once in a while I do grunt or hit my hand on the desk. Or say to myself, "Geez!" or some such thing. I need to realize that God is there in the moment and is calling my attention elsewhere.
I always enjoy listening to how you convey your message. It might be the most serios topic but there is always Joy in your voice. GOD Bless you Father. 🙏
I love this. Good interruptions are also part of the journey with Jesus. Expanding the definition of interruptions to include good ones. I needed that. Ministry is so full of interruptions and some are needed and good.
I excelled at school throughout my educational years; the only thing that gave me purpose was to soar high in academics. Little did I know that mental torments kept piling up as I grew older and that I was also struggling from the secrets of childhood molestation and problems in the family. My life changed when God called me to turn my life around. I responded to Him by diving into the divine interruption. In 2015 (17 years old at that time), I stopped college and fell into clinical depression and eventually bipolar disorder, even going to a psychiatric ward in 2017 and being literally restrained by ropes due to a manic episode (that was the most desperate moment in my life). But, thanks to God's faithfulness, I still managed to hold on to the smallest faith that I had even at times when I thought to end my life. I thought then to myself during these darkest nights of the soul that even if I prayed, God still seemed to not respond. My college education was on-and-off. On my third time trying to continue my education in 2018, we had a project in Theology class to make a "God's Love Letter" video. This was the last class activity I did before I stopped schooling again and hurt myself for being too weak in handling my depressive episodes. For me, that moment was the last straw. I decided to quit school, but posted this video project in my inactive TH-cam channel, just to save it in the internet and clean up files in my computer. I forgot all about this until earlier this year, when views of this same video went soaring up. Now, it's already about 300K+ views with numerous people being inspired by it. This channel (Saved Sheep Studios) also has around 4.3K subscribers from the moment of this writing. I cry daily in thanksgiving to God for allowing me to realize that with time and patience, He does make a way. He saved me from the sins of my past and following Him is now my life's purpose. He is making all things new. I will continue to magnify His works, knowing that it is less of me and more of Him. From being a major in college relating to fish (BS Fisheries), God called me now to become a fisher of men, allowing me to make inspirational videos for our brothers and sisters in Christ. God's miracle occurred on the 7th year since I responded to His divine appointment. Praise the Lord for His works! I will never forget His love for me. May God bless us all.
Interesting that God presented this video to me this day. I needed to hear this today. Praise be to God that I was able to listen and act on what God wanted me to do today. All glory to God!
Quick question now Father Mike; do you think you could ever do a video on repairing broken marriages? I live in Hartford, CT. now where my husband and I belong to a Retrouvaille Group, and we KNOW one of your videos would be an EXCELLENT presentation for the group.
I know you are doing a good job because I feel like Jesus is talking directly to me through you. You are a perfect instrument of God’s word to my heart. Thank you for your dedication and gift from the LORD Jesus Christ. You have my attention and I’m grateful!!! Praise Jesus!!!!
I never used the bible to pray except for Psalms. I didn't understand it, old testament, and it was frustrating. I used the Catholic prayers, there are millions of them, and they are great. There are hundreds for any occasion, any joy, any tragedy.
9 times out of 10, when I was forced to slow down in traffic and I got frustrated, I found there was usually a random police speed check, or a speeding camera up the road.
This seems somewhat to what st. Josemaria called "human industries": those distractions you program to elevate your heart to the Lord, such as that type of car you see in the street, or you remind yourself that everytime a plane passes over you is God calling you, etc.
"Every single person, even if they don't believe in God, the primary task of their life whether they know it or not is to live in that dynamic relationship with the Trinity that transforms this life and then transforms their eternity" Fr. Mike. Father-Son-Holy Ghost is the Christian version of the older Sat-Chit-Ananda or Being-Knowing-Bliss. That is why you cannot know the Father (Christianity) except through the Son. All living things are subject to the Trinity, even if you are agnostic or atheist, even if you live in 1000 BCE. Trinitarian knowledge is divine understanding and is outside of time.
This isn’t a divine appointment, but recently I really wanted to go to the pool because I never do but whenever I got there it was closed for some odd reason. I was so angry that I couldn’t have this one thing that didn’t sound like too much to ask for and ended up talking to God about it and how in the moment I had so much anger while talking to him (like a friend. Not directed towards him but expressing how frustrated I was about the situation). I still don’t know why God kept me from my “task” nothing tragic happened that I’ve heard of happened after that maybe God was trying to keep me from
At a time in my life where I was at my lowest, struggling through work to just not break down in tears. During my lunch break in a random parking lot I reflecting on my sorrows in the worst way possible. A stranger driving through turned around, came up to my truck and handed me a card and simply said "I'm not sure why but I feel like you need this". He walked off looking awkward and I could tell it wasn't something he wanted to do. But then I looked at the card and it was a picture of the holy spirit as a dove descending from heaven and on the back was the prayer I needed right then.
Some years ago, I saw a frail, homeless, elderly lady on the metro train in L.A. I felt compelled to invite her to join me at the McDonald's at the end of the line. I didn't have much money. She said yes. I got her dinner for her and we started talking. She told me how her rent had been raised and she couldn't afford her apartment, she had no family. At the end of our meal and time together. I asked her what her name was so I could pray for her. She told me her name...it was Barbara (which is my name). God bless her.
More prayers for this lady 🙏
I trust Jesus looked after her & all her needs.
You served the Lord on that occasion. Bless you.🙏
Went to get coffee at work and I was in uniform. A guy sitting at the table asked me if I knew his grandpa that retired from the same law enforcement agency. When he said his name I said, I said of course I know him, he helped me get on track to get hired! He told me that his grandfather had a stroke a few days ago. He was okay, but still at the hospital. I left the coffee shop, picked some wild flowers and went to visit him in the hospital. It was amazing and such a blessing for him and me too.
One huge interruption in my life was when my 15 year old son got lymphoma. It turned my life upside down. I had to leave work and live at the hospital to attend to his needs. In the end I found Mother Mary and Jesus had a plan. I asked mother Mary to intercede on my behalf with her son. She did and a peace came over me. My son was cured in 4 months and I’ve been closer to God since. It was not an interruption but divine intervention. The good was worked right through the turmoil. Now I appreciate everything more….especially good health. And all my blessings!
❤️🙏🏼
I was driving and my dad made me take a "shortcut" that messed up my whole route and I was really annoyed. On this shortcut however, we saw a baby kitten on the pavement and she looked as if she was going to die. She didn't even flinch when we picked her up and carried her to the vet who said that she is weakened by fleas and worms. We carried her home not expecting her to survive but now she is such a blossomed healthy playful amazing little kitty! She brings my family together and kills us with love and affection. She is TRULY a blessing- and all because of an interruption.
God bless u for sharing that with us. I loved this story!!!

I don't know if I have a really good story of a divine appointment but I did have one a couple months ago and I think it was holy week and I was just reading something about talking to someone about God and who He is. When I was reading it, I felt something in me and I immediately recognize that God was talking to me and for whatever reason, He told me to go and tell my friend about it. I was asking Him like, "Why her?" But I did do it anyway and lo and behold a couple hours later, I got a message saying she was happy that I texted her this because she asked God for a sign if Her is present and here. After seeing that message, I kinda broke down and told God, "How powerful are You?" This is my story of kind of a divine appointment.
Wow! Super cool! Thank you for being that obedient messenger! Blessed be the Lord!😳😁❤
kind of? looks like it was divine and you know it, it's just hard for us to get our head around it sometimes
Your soul is his. Never lose it.
Yes the Holy Spirit got your attention. I had a similar experience with an immense amount of love that I can’t explain. Don’t get swayed ! Read the holy Bible , pray in silence and invite the Holy Spirit again. I thought I was happy before but now I know what God’s love is and I don’t ever want to go back to my old way of living. I wish people understood but I know they see a difference
Just had a wonderful Divine interruption two days ago. I was preparing to leave the house for a shopping chore when it started to rain very hard. I was a bit annoyed but decided to wait it out for a bit. Right when the rain stopped I picked up my keys. Just then a truck pulled into the driveway and out stepped a cousin I had not seen in twenty years. He said he was traveling for work and felt the need to detour a few mile to stop and see us. It was the best surprise visit ever. And God sent the rain to keep me there long enough to be home when he got there.
A few weeks ago I was sitting on my bed watching tv. I suddenly had an overwhelming feeling that I should pray for one of my friends. I texted her that I was thinking about her and I love her very much. She texted back me later that night. At that very moment I had texted her she was at her mother's bedside as her mother went to be with our Lord.
I had plans to have a family, kids and small farm. It seems God has said no to that and instead is calling me to give up those things and help others. I'm attempting this by opening a non profit to serve those with mental illness.
God is the ultimate interruption.
This probably counts, but when I was in college, I studied abroad in the UK. The university I was at had a Catholic chaplaincy and every week they would have a benediction, a talk from the priest, and then a trip to the pub. I was still trying to figure out my faith and I started talking to this convert who told me something to the effect of "Perhaps God has a reason for us meeting like this" and instantly I suspected "foreshadowing". Long story short that person was instrumental in bringing me back to Catholicism
That is so beautiful! I have friends who have drifted away from their faith. Do you know how I could help like that person helped you?
I think about this a lot too. I think the best "strategy" is to, first, pray for them, and wait if they come to you for help
@@TheBlackopsDS You're right. Prayer is powerful! I'll do that. Thank youuuuu
Id like to share something that happened to me few years ago. I was going through some tough times at my university and family. I was doing really bad at school. I had one of those last chance exams. If I failed this test i would get expelled from school. It was that bad. So I spend a whole year preparing for the other classes and for this specific test. I knew and dominated every single subject on the books. But my family problems came back the night before the test. I was so depressed because of that. I started to think I was going to fail. On the hour before the test I went outside of the university to have a smoke. Right in the middle of the street. A lot of people walking by minding their bussines. And I stared blank into the void. I dont know how much time was it. But an oldman stumbling across the sidewalk came near me. And said to me: "Dont worry everything its gonna be fine young man". And he left. My face was like I could not process what or why he said that to me. But it felt so good, caring and charming. That i could not help but follow him with my eyes as he dissapeared in the streets. That moment i realized i was talking to something else that wasnt human. But not perverse in any kind of way. Totally the opposite. Someone so good and charming.Never seen that man again in my life. Sometimes when Im walking in that street I look both sides trying to find him. Thanks! Wherever you are. I needed that. Hope you are ok. I passed the test and even the professors gave me a weird look because they didnt expect me doing so good in that test. They still look at me weird haha.
Angels sometimes disguised themselves as humans, there’s a verse abt it somewhere in the Bible. Or it was a divine apportionment :)
@@riyascorner9198 book of Tobit as Fr. Mike memtioned. With Raphael disguising himself as Tobias' wingman :)
Watching CNBC at 7 am a few weeks ago. Major neck pain occurred out of nowhere. Went to see my chiropractor at 8:00am who has walk in. He stopped walk in a year ago, but was doing a bible study with a few other guys in his office. He invited me to stay, now I’m going every week. He also gave me an adjustment. God wanted me there
Sounds like a “Divine Adjustment.” 😄😄
I'm CONSTANTLY interrupted - at work, at home, while watching this video...
🤣🤣🤣...checkmate lol
When I was 19, I was speeding. I’m embarrassed but I was driving in Phoenix going 99 in a 65 and I got pulled over. If it weren’t for the Cop to pull me over who knows what would have happened. Looking back I know God put that cop there for a reason❤️
I once had a major exam coming up that I was preparing for. But just a week before the exam, I got the news that I would have to prepare and submit a couple of assignments and also sit for a test the same week (for which I had no time).
I was absolutely devastated because of these interruptions and broke down. At that moment I prayed and I heard a small still voice in my heart,
"Faith can move mountains."
With all my heart, in the presence of God I said to the mountains, "Move." I felt peace as I surrendered everything to God's will.
A couple of days later I learnt that all those interruptions had been postponed.
I thank God for bringing me closer to Himself through interruptions :)
there is NO WAY this is the VERY SPECIFIC thing i've been struggling with *today* and trying to be charitable about it and you just post this. no way. im tearing up lol
I was very much goal oriented,enjoying life with whatever I had, totally in the world,but later I started feeling lonely and asked God for a friend, that was the first time I did so and couple of weeks later, I met a guy, whom I met 4years ago and we got back to be friends again and I started getting closer to God. It was a divine appointment.
I started to receive panic attacks in my early young adult years. It was a huge interruption of my life. But I, at the time, was losing hope in all sorts of ways. Basically seeing so many people that I knew going into different directions, I felt that everything I knew was being destroyed, because I had no permanent foundation. My faith was not based on anything solid. Having those anxiety attacks helped me take a step back and really figure out what was most important in life. And I am grateful to God for it.
Sometimes when I get interrupted while doing something important, I've noticed that coming away from and then being able to refocus on that primary task can be a blessing. It gives an opportunity to look at everything again and sometimes I see things that I was so focused on before that I hadn't considered, putting me in a better place than I was in before the interruption.
I try to remind myself daily to stay focused on the LORD/Holy Trinity!!!
✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
As a small business owner, I needed to hear this. Your video spoke directly to my current situation, and all I could ask myself is “things are going bad right now but what am I to learn from this”.
God always has his plan for us and when we are interrupted I often feel like He is preparing us for something bigger that is coming or has something better in store for us altogether.
Bless you for taking the time to make these videos. This word gave me the strength I need to get back up again.
Same here..as a healthcare worker who got sick of Covid and out of work because of it..I know God has a perfect plan for me..Thy will be done Lord

I was interrupted today so I could learn the value of interruptions. Thank you, Father Mike. God bless you for helping to teach me wisdom.
Divine Providence: Everything, everything, that takes place is either directly willed by God or allowed by Him.

@@GeneralSeptem Could be jew, but that sentence makes no sense. If that Deity gave humans free will then everything that takes place cannot be willed or allowed by "Him"(could be also "Her") because it contradicts gift of free will.

I get the reference because I’m a listener of the Bible in a Year, and I’ve now heard about the book of Tobet.
Thank you, Father Mike.
The SCANDALS that we witness, experience, and hear about - they are Divine interruptions and appointments permitted by God for us to glorify him by persevering in virtues like forgiveness, forbearance, praying for sinners, praying for the scandalised, instructing the morally ignorant, counselling the morally doubtful, fraternally correcting sinners, comforting the afflicted, trusting in the Lord's judgment and final justice and not our own.
The thumbnail of this video looks like how a parent looks at their child when they're doing something wrong in public but they don't want to cause a scene. 🤣
Greetings, I saw you on Fr. Gregory Pine’s stream earlier.
@@CybermanKing Hello!
This video interrupted my scrolling... guess i’m alright with it 😎
About 12 years ago I had some health complications that forced me to spend less time doing the things that I enjoyed doing in life, even stop doing them in some cases. Helping out on the family farm, working overtime, and going out to eat name a few. I am convinced that if it wasn't for that "interruption" in my life, I never would have met my now wife, and be blessed with an amazing marriage and two beautiful daughters. I also sometimes wonder if it was God's way answering my grandmas prayers too.
Thank goodness you're a priest! That is one mean mug thumbnail! God bless you!
Father Mike, usually when I'm surfing TH-cam trying to excape from life's secular distractions, suddenly.. your video messages interrupt me 😲.. giving me a renewed sence of focus on my divine path. Blessings from Knock Shrine Ireland, Danny 😉😁
started to listen to see if you had anything to say to the interrupters. (i.e. me) 😬 However ... *maybe* this story counts: returned from a trip and my niece picked me up & brought me back to my car at her house but my car wouldn’t start. after 20 minutes I got it going. I came across an accident (deer vs car) on the way home & couldn’t help but wonder if that would’ve been me if my car started immediately.
Another time I had a nudge to visit my uncle at his bakery on the way home. We made plans to meet up the following Sunday, but he died that Friday. Glad i visited when i did.
This should be good! I am so good at interrupting myself lol
Thank you, Fr. Mike. Timely message for parents multitasking during this time and the last year. As a father to 3 under 5 I see a lot of interruptions while working from home. It can rob you of your peace and joy. Thank you for this. Thank you to listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. God bless
We back in a lock down and school closed. Looting in south africa. Bringing all down on our knees.
Strangely enough, I struggle with what I believe, (weather science is truth or God, or both) I tend to sleep in late.. but for some reason always I wake up on Sundays with energy I never have any other day just in time to tune in to live mass... (& I WANT TO) it may not sound to significant to some but to me it’s something that pulls me away from what I do normally or WANT to do and I just... just listen.. and for that one hour I can feel it.. for that one hour that noise of the “WORLD” goes away and in my heart I feel like some newness growing...
So many people don’t desire going to the wedding feast. The Mass is the precursor. The wedding feast is eternity.
Saint Raphael is actually my patron saint
Hey guys please pray for my cousin she has a blue baby
I will pray for your cousin, brother.
For those who don't know how to look something up and instead make a joke about a sick baby:
Blue baby syndrome:
Blue baby syndrome can refer to a number of conditions that affect oxygen transportation in the blood, resulting in blueness of the skin in babies. Both of these conditions cause cyanosis, or a bluish discoloration of skin or mucous membranes. Normally, oxygenated blood appears red and deoxygenated blood has more of a blue appearance. In babies with low levels of oxygen or mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, the blood can have a blue or purple color, causing cyanosis.
@@capecodder04 thanks for clarifying God bless you 🙏🏼❤️✝️
I’m so happy I got to see you at Steubenville last weekend! Thank you so much and I love when you said that Satin calls you by your sin but God calls you by your name. Thank you for literally helping me and my huge group!!!! God bless!! 🙏
Thank u Father Mike 💫
Every single person has a guardian angel.
It is a gift from God and it never
leaves us for one moment, from our birth to after our death.
Our guardian angel will always help us to see every encounter in our life as a divine intervention.
Great message, Fr. Mike! My "divine appointment" came in 2017 during Lent. I was living a lifestyle that most likely kept me separated from God. I had not practiced my faith since 1998. God in essence interrupted my life (for the good) that caused me to re-evaluate my life, make the necessary changes (although it is a daily struggle which I thank God for), and allowed me to return to Him through His Church as a practicing Roman Catholic. I am always happy to share my story if it will help others return to Christ and love Him as I did and do. Thank you.
Staying focused to live a dynamic relationship with God as one's priority; to fulfill the primary obligation towards God's calling in life is a primary task for a Christian.
This video came up at the right time.I was struggling between doing what i thought would be better for me in the long ,versus interrupting my plans to meet the expectations of my family.Seeing this has brought so much peace and perspective to my situation.I now know God us asking me to trust Him more.He truly lives.
After my sister passed away suddenly, I was in a state of grief, really exhausted and despite praying didn’t feel any consolation. Besides the exhaustion from grief, trying to help take care of things, etc, it turned out I was pregnant. My grief turned to gratitude for this new, very unexpected life. My son Raphael is 11 now, and I thank God for the timing that I initially thought was inopportune.
Best thing about these videos is that the new ones keep coming on regular basis! ❤️
I live in NY and flew to Florida to buy a nice mustang to drive back. I didn't know how to drive stick that well so i had to learn while driving on i95 north. Every state i crossed was a different adventure. Many cars broke down on the side, items scattered all over after an 18 wheeler crashed, rain so thick i can barely see the hood of my car let alone the road passing by 18 wheelers but lightning helped for those brief moments in the night, wild fires and driving through the thick smoke all roads closed but not i95, beautiful stars after i passed the storm. I make to New Jersey and I'm almost home but right when i said to myself flat tire, i get a flat tire on New Jersey Turnpike on a Sunday morning. I grab the jack but no lug wrench, i called the owner he gave me an attitude so i called car service and In case you didn't know in New Jersey they don't work on sunday, no truck service no mechanic shop. I felt stuck and i was mad i screamed at the sky is this the best you can do God? Just then a white Toyota Camry pulled over parrallel from me but across the turnpike. A black man gets out of his car and to the trunk. I run to him for help. I asked is everything alright? He told me he was making sure he has all the presents to give to the church. I told him my car broke down and don't have a wrench. He pulled out a wrench and said i don't think it will fit on an American car. It turns out the lug wrench he had was for American cars and not Japanese. I asked if i could use it I'll be very quick. He was patient while checking his watch and said i have to go i don't want to be late for church, you keep the wrench as a gift. After i fixed the tire while driving back home i was very emotional. The drive was a great experience, many obstacles that got in my way but couldn't stop me and right when i almost make it to the finish line i was interrupted by a flat tire and lost my cool only to cross paths with an old black man on his way to give presents to people he loves. I learned a lot from that experience and have never felt so humble and humiliated. I made it back in 17 hours no rest only stopped for gas and quick bite to eat.
Covid!!! When this crazy time began, I started to pray like when I was about to receive my first communion
(40 years ago) I believe this was and still is my divine appointment. I'm happy it wasn't too late for me to redirect my attention where always had to be
God bless you father Mike.
I love what you do for us, I love listening to your family's stories, I'm reading the Bible with you everyday
Always in my prayers, everyone
See you....I mean, watch you tomorrow father Mike 🙏 👋😃
Blessings
Amazing! And St Raphael - patron saint of Divine Appointments - pray for us.
Driving then saw a elderly man pass in a long older black car . He had pure white hair and small shaped glasses . He reminded me of my Grandfather . So now at Lorado and highway 87 stopped for a red light . Later the light turned green . My van was filled a cloudy like presence . Knowing in my head saying Don't Go . So I waited for a few seconds . A very Large Sandtruck came barreling past me . The man in the Hugh truck stared at me . My Angels saved that day . Alive because of my Angels protection .Thank You Jesus !
It has been a long time since I have watched ascension presents and I remember it being such a good influence
I now know that my time away searching for other answers from people who ultimately are also looking for the same answers I am was a divine appointment I had
God bless you all
Jewish Catholic Roy Schoeman says the Shma (sp?) can also be translated "Obey, O Israel, the Lord your God alone."
Have you considered adding closed captions to your videos? It helps the deaf, hard of hearing, and non-native English speakers, as well as allows for more accurate translations into other languages.
My divine appointment named was Mike (good name eh?). I was driving across a mountain pass when the pass suddenly closed for rock blasting. I found myself along with hundreds of other passengers drivers stuck for at least an hour during a late summers evening. Mike's truck was a few cars ahead mine and he was standing with the hood up and the tell tale line of smoke that bespoke an overheated vehicle. I could tell from his body language and the way he spoke into his phone he was not prepared for this situation. As my car had a tendency to overheat also, I had coolant in my trunk. I was an early twenties female and he a mid fifties male, social convention would have this situation reversed. But I thought, what the heck, he needs something, and I can help. I brought the coolant up to him and said, hey do you need some help? The look of absolute relief in his eyes said everything. He thanked me profusely and tried to pay me for the coolant (I told him to just pay it forward). We put the coolant into his truck and he told me a bit about his life. Turns out he was on his way to join his hospitalized wife who was about to get the news on whether the treatments had worked and whether she would have months or years to spend with him. We talked for the whole time the traffic sat there. He told me about his life, and I had the Supreme privilege of telling him about Christ's love. When it started moving I gave him two miraculous medals, we both went back to our respective cars and drove out of each other's lives. I still think about him occasionally and hope he is doing well.
Thanks for sharing -here and there ;)
I hate getting interrupted when I'm praying especially in church. People tap me on the shoulder while I'm either standing at the beginning of mass saying the 'I confess', or kneeling, and they want me to move aside so they can get into the pew.... While I am actually talking to God.!!!😳🤷
I feel you!!!!!
Sometimes we need to move to the center of the pew to start with so others are able to find a seat. I've always found that interruptions at Mass mean that there is an exclamation point being put on that part of the Mass. I thank God for this exclamation points.
I don't like that either but I try to use it as a reminder to focus more on what is going on on the altar than what is going on around me. I try to always sit in the front, a lot less distractions. God bless us all.
I get interrupted or distracted when I pray. I wish I could stay focused. 😔🙏
So we live next door to a govt housing duplex and a new family moved in. For certain reasons I honestly didnt really like the idea of having this new family as neighbors. Anywho the other day these kids gave my mom a baby bird they had found. It was little fledging, from previous experience I automatically assumed it would die. I looked information on what to feed it and was a bit annoyed I had to help feed and clean him if he was probably going to die. & having to leave work at certain times (I dislike) just to feed the bird.
Well this baby bird is eating, and learning how to fly. Seeing his expressions and watching him grow is what gives my mom a lot of happiness. Of course I'm also happy but this baby bird really has made my mom happy. Which I am forever greatful
Well! Thank you Father for the interruption ✝️
God Bless you Father!😁❤
I work at a Drs here in rainy England. We have a beautiful court yard where i like to go at lunch to say my Rosary. I feel after the wave of stress that morning brings it always helps me go back from lunch more refreshed and with a loving heart…
However last week half way around my Rosary a Nurse (who has barely spoken 3 words to me before) comes to the court yard and begins to talk with me. It is easy at this point to roll my eyes and think ‘well this doesn’t fit in with my prayers and is very distracting’. But as the conversation goes on the Nurse begins to really open up.. i find out how stressed she is both work and home and she clearly needs someone to talk to. At this point i put my Rosary away safe in the knowledge that A: i can say it later and B: God clearly wanted me to listen to this poor stressed nurse instead. We are all where we i suppose to be guys.. even when we cant always see why 🙏
I fell real ill recently and began to worry because I knew that it was my stress taking over my mind and body. I wondered why I had to feel if again after going through therapy years ago. Then I realized that it was God reminding me what I could go back to when I don’t implement a daily prayer or meditation.
I have a 15 year old son. Two weeks ago I got a call from school. I had to pick him up because a drop of savia from a tree had fallen just into his right eye. He was in utter pain. He screamed all the way to the ER, scaring my three year old girl real bad. After they told him that in 2 hours the pain would go away, he screamed all the way back home (20 minutes each way). Throughout this time, I was praying Hail Mary after Hail Mary in silence. I knew the Lord had something very good in mind. I knew He was next to us, though I could not feel Him. I started thanking him for whatever He was doing.
Juan Martín was better 2 hours later but he still remembers that day, the screaming and the pain and he speaks about it. It gives me the perfect opportunity to discuss with him and his brother (they are both receiving confirmation on Nov 18 - please pray) about the mysterious ways the Lord is present and loving and working.
Thank you from Argentina father Mike. I often download, chop and translate your lectures. I am praying for you.
Devine appointments happen all the time!
I needed to hear Fr. Mike's video. The one thing that drives me crazy is to be interrupted when I'm focusing or concentrating on something. And the interruption is usually something I consider very unimportant. I usually don't say anything about it, but once in a while I do grunt or hit my hand on the desk. Or say to myself, "Geez!" or some such thing. I need to realize that God is there in the moment and is calling my attention elsewhere.
I have 5 kids, 3 are girls so do i get interrupted? Na never 🤣
I love your mindset and the patience you have for slow drivers on the freeway. Truly inspiring me lol
Thanks, Fr Mike. This is an important video, folks. Listen, y'all!
"Lord, whatever & whenever I am. In this time of interruption, you are here" +
I always enjoy listening to how you convey your message. It might be the most serios topic but there is always Joy in your voice. GOD Bless you Father. 🙏
I love this. Good interruptions are also part of the journey with Jesus. Expanding the definition of interruptions to include good ones. I needed that. Ministry is so full of interruptions and some are needed and good.
Thank You Father Mike. God Bless You!
Thank you 🙏 Fr Mike.
I excelled at school throughout my educational years; the only thing that gave me purpose was to soar high in academics. Little did I know that mental torments kept piling up as I grew older and that I was also struggling from the secrets of childhood molestation and problems in the family.
My life changed when God called me to turn my life around. I responded to Him by diving into the divine interruption. In 2015 (17 years old at that time), I stopped college and fell into clinical depression and eventually bipolar disorder, even going to a psychiatric ward in 2017 and being literally restrained by ropes due to a manic episode (that was the most desperate moment in my life). But, thanks to God's faithfulness, I still managed to hold on to the smallest faith that I had even at times when I thought to end my life. I thought then to myself during these darkest nights of the soul that even if I prayed, God still seemed to not respond.
My college education was on-and-off. On my third time trying to continue my education in 2018, we had a project in Theology class to make a "God's Love Letter" video. This was the last class activity I did before I stopped schooling again and hurt myself for being too weak in handling my depressive episodes. For me, that moment was the last straw. I decided to quit school, but posted this video project in my inactive TH-cam channel, just to save it in the internet and clean up files in my computer.
I forgot all about this until earlier this year, when views of this same video went soaring up. Now, it's already about 300K+ views with numerous people being inspired by it. This channel (Saved Sheep Studios) also has around 4.3K subscribers from the moment of this writing. I cry daily in thanksgiving to God for allowing me to realize that with time and patience, He does make a way. He saved me from the sins of my past and following Him is now my life's purpose. He is making all things new. I will continue to magnify His works, knowing that it is less of me and more of Him.
From being a major in college relating to fish (BS Fisheries), God called me now to become a fisher of men, allowing me to make inspirational videos for our brothers and sisters in Christ. God's miracle occurred on the 7th year since I responded to His divine appointment. Praise the Lord for His works! I will never forget His love for me. May God bless us all.
Thanks for sharing your testimony
@@Love-jf7rs God bless you, my friend in Christ!
How true. It's a daily struggle.
Interesting that God presented this video to me this day.
I needed to hear this today.

All glory to God!
Quick question now Father Mike; do you think you could ever do a video on repairing broken marriages? I live in Hartford, CT. now where my husband and I belong to a Retrouvaille Group, and we KNOW one of your videos would be an EXCELLENT presentation for the group.
Father is there a reason why my previous post was deleted? I don't see it here.
I know you are doing a good job because I feel like Jesus is talking directly to me through you. You are a perfect instrument of God’s word to my heart. Thank you for your dedication and gift from the LORD Jesus Christ. You have my attention and I’m grateful!!! Praise Jesus!!!!
Great video, Father! Right on time for me.
I never used the bible to pray except for Psalms. I didn't understand it, old testament, and it was frustrating. I used the Catholic prayers, there are millions of them, and they are great. There are hundreds for any occasion, any joy, any tragedy.
Hi Christian! Have you started listening to Bible A Year Reading by Fr Mike? That may help you. God Bless
Bible Proverbs has wisdom in it to help guide.
Divine interruptions. i am in the DC area the whole place was shaking while i was trying to watch Your video. There's a thunderstorm going on here LOL
9 times out of 10, when I was forced to slow down in traffic and I got frustrated, I found there was usually a random police speed check, or a speeding camera up the road.
This seems somewhat to what st. Josemaria called "human industries": those distractions you program to elevate your heart to the Lord, such as that type of car you see in the street, or you remind yourself that everytime a plane passes over you is God calling you, etc.
"Every single person, even if they don't believe in God, the primary task of their life whether they know it or not is to live in that dynamic relationship with the Trinity that transforms this life and then transforms their eternity" Fr. Mike. Father-Son-Holy Ghost is the Christian version of the older Sat-Chit-Ananda or Being-Knowing-Bliss. That is why you cannot know the Father (Christianity) except through the Son. All living things are subject to the Trinity, even if you are agnostic or atheist, even if you live in 1000 BCE. Trinitarian knowledge is divine understanding and is outside of time.
I LOLed at C3PO :)
Wise words, thank you.
Thank You Father Mike
This isn’t a divine appointment, but recently I really wanted to go to the pool because I never do but whenever I got there it was closed for some odd reason. I was so angry that I couldn’t have this one thing that didn’t sound like too much to ask for and ended up talking to God about it and how in the moment I had so much anger while talking to him (like a friend. Not directed towards him but expressing how frustrated I was about the situation). I still don’t know why God kept me from my “task” nothing tragic happened that I’ve heard of happened after that maybe God was trying to keep me from
Hello padre am the interruption well I was . GOD BLESS YOU sir
Thank you father God bless

I really like Fr. Mike and his messages, but am I the only one that slows down the video to .75 speed? I can’t keep up with him full speed…
I see it the other way around, Fr. Mike's fast speaking forces me to stay focused on his messages, leaving no room for any distraction. 😊
