"humble trust", "shameless persistence" " prayer changes us" God who is already good does not want to do the good without you."
Building the shed analogy was PERFECT!!!!👍
When we go to Eucharistic Adoration, we go to pray in public, to share a common bond. Has anyone else ever Adored the beauty of sitting in front of The Eucharistic Presence of the Lord in a public way with priests and nuns and friends or family and just been Thankful? That's what I get out of your excitement and exuberant Love here.
Hi Fr.Mike! I am a Catholic from South Korea. This homily fits exactly for my situation nowadays. Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏
“Keep clinging to Him in prayer”!!! 💖
You built a shed in a week!! It took me three years to finish painting my kitchen. And now its time that I have to do it again.
God has always heard me; he always helps me - because I keep nagging & complaining. God will always fix you. My prayer & praise from the heart is always acceptable to God and He delights in all our prayers. ♥️. We love God for who He is. But the Our Father is perfect.
Thank you. I feel the relationship with my Father for the first time. Jesus yes but Father and friend is something I just realized I have had all along. Thank you for this wonderful affirmation.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you, Father Mike.
NEVER have I herd an explanation of the Lord’s Prayer with such depth of meaning, including the psychological realization of “whom you are praying to’”
Thank you, Fr. Mike!🌟
Amen ❤ 🙏 ❤ 🙏
Father Mike, I just want to give a huge thanks to you. Your videos are a huge reason why I went from a nihilistic atheist to an (almost) daily mass catholic. Thank you so much!
Wow, that's an amazing witness. 💗🙏💗
God is so good to me and you. May Jesus Christ change us to be good person. Amen.
Thank you. I pray that this message blesses the ears and hearts of those who are in need.
Abba. I lost my father 28 years ago and my mother recently. So I look to God as my parent.
Prayers up for peace and comfort.🙏🏼💕
Amazing. May God bless you. Amen.
The God, the Lord whom I know is very loving, and He has never set any standards about praying. So relax and talk or pray to Him as often as we could each day.
Thank you, Fr. Mike! I've been praying and fasting for three years for my daughter ever since she told us she thinks she's not straight (she basically came to this conclusion because of a you tuber at age 12 which is clear as day to me but she doesn't see it and is clinging to this idea even though it makes zero sense if you met her...). I've been feeling a bit warn out in my prayer for her lately. Thanks for the encouragement to shamelessly persist! I am so incredibly grateful for the incredible gift of her life, she is such a delight! Jesus Christ, King of Mercy, I TRUST in THEE!!!
This Pastor breaks it down perfectly.
I pray 70 our fathers, 70 Hail Mary, I pray to Michael the ark angel, I pray to my angel, I pray to my Saint Martin,I pray to my father, lord,Jesus Christ, God Jahova.I pray that he sends the holy spirit in 2 my heart, soul n mind 2 encourage, protect, enlighten & guide me n to show me his will every day of my life. I pray 4 myself, my son, my family, & all the people in my life. I pray 4 the good the bad, the evil, I pray 4 my enemies, I pray 4 the homeless, the depressed, 4 the people with cancer, the kids with cancer, the kids that r being trafficked, the parents that r being abused, the people on drugs, the lonely, the mental illnesses, the lost souls, the good cop’s, the bad cop’s, the teachers, doctors, nurses, preachers, father’s, arch bishops, n the pope. I pray 4 Ukrainian n Russ’s, I pray 4 peace, love,kindness, hope n faith in this big beautiful world of ours. N I stoped praying 4 so much rain, n I pray every single day. N I read the Bible n spiritual books throughout the day. God bless us all…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am amazed at the wisdom the Catholic Church has and freely gives to us. Thank you
😀
Thank you.
I really needed to hear this, Father. I’m so bad about thinking my prayer isn’t good enough for God to a point where I focus more on the precision of my words than just speaking with Him.
Fr. Mike, this sermon is SO important for all parents like me. It's so difficult to be just while merciful to our kids, so not to spoil them while making sure they build good character in God's eyes.
Thank YOU Father Mike for delivering such an amazing message through the Gospels. Thanks for having such a passion for Our Lord that your able to be passionate about your message
Amen. Truth
Amen 🙏
God bless you Father Mike ; have a great week.
Amen
Lord teach us to pray like you 🙏🏼🥰
Fr. Mike thank you so much for this sermon. It absolutely was meant for me. In prayer there must always be patience and persistence.
Those are the points I want to remember. Thank you Fr.Mike. Great homily!
Perfect timing for me.
Another fabulous homily. It does raise an important question though doesn't it... Let's take a look at the world we currently live in: rampant divorce, fornication, adultery, abortion, perversion of God's natural laws, murder etc. etc. This evil has been going on a long time and the question must now surely be, how long will God allow this all to continue before he acts? We have been warned and warned and warned: Fatima, Akita, Garabandal, Medjugorje. When the "illumination of conscience" comes to the world will the world open its eyes or just continue as it is? At Akita Our Lady warned of a chastisement that would spare neither priests nor faithful, leaving the living envying the dead - imagine that! The fate of Sodom and Gomorrah is on its way to this generation...
Father Mike, God is working and blessing through you, sir. This message is exactly what I've been needing. Thank you. God bless you and yours.
I wish there was something more than just a like button beautiful homily Fr.Shmitz!
Fr. Mike's reward in heaven will indeed be great. From whom has been given many gifts, much will be expected. What a blessing this message is to us all. Spread the good news.
love you Father Mike bless up and be well. 🙏🏻💨💯
Thank You Father Mike,From NEW MEXICO, E QUE DIOS TE BENDEGA 🙏🏼💙🙏🏼
Also the courage I lack alone
Good one ☝️
Good Evening.......🫖🍵 its 4:06 pm in California just wanted to say Hello and all praises to God is important. Peace be with you sincerely........💓🌹⚡
Another wonderful message. ❤️
Thank you! Listen only the homily is perfect
🙏🙏🙏😃😃
Greetings Father Mike,
Thanks for Great Sunday Homily which resonates with message that "Our Lord Jesus Christ is THE TRUE HERO in all aspects in everyone's life"
Thoughts :
Our Family 's Elder is always be Our Lord Jesus Christ in every aspects.
My Sincerest Prayers with Everyone to All for recovery from Physical and Emotional Trauma throughout the World before Lord Jesus Christ.
With respect with Prayers,
RanjithJoseph (R.J)

You're either in harmony with the spirit , or you're not. Takes a bit of refining, but well worth getting into the zone and staying there. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10.
Thanlkyou
God bless u
Thank you Father Mike. This was a great supplement to attending Mass this week and hearing your perspective. God bless 🙏
Thank you Father , Is it OK to pray separately to Jesus's, our Father God also the holy Spirit? Giving thanks every thing including the strength I do not have on my own.
Very nice👍☦
Please allow me to add to what you are saying, Fr. Mike. When you say we are to become like him, I would like to emphasize that this is not merely in imitation but actual sharing in his divine life.
By the way, I attempted to express to you something fascinating that I recently read, which I thought you also might find interesting. The idea, which I had never read before, is that Mary would not have been able to say no -- in regard to choice, which I often hear you talk about -- in regard to the Incarnation, not because she is not free, but rather because she has true freedom (namely, she is divinized). Isn't that fascinating?😊
Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your homily. Peace of the Lord.
Fr. Mike can you please speak on the restrictions that have been placed on Traditional Latin Mass. I believe this is wrong!
❤️
God is for both Justice and Mercy. Unfortunately most people think God is just about Mercy in which they forget that there is consequences to their actions.
I'm odd about this when someone dies people automatically assume that their loved one is in Heaven and they believe that they are an angel or playing golf in Heaven. I'm not like this at all rather I'm concerned for the person's soul which is why I pray for them. I even got yelled at for pointing out that the souls of people are not or never could become an angel or that Heaven is nothing like this world or having the pleasures/comforts of this world literally the saints are in a celestial paradise joined together with God which this joy goes beyond our comprehension in this world. This is also why the souls in Hell suffer as the things that brought them pleasures/comforts in this world are forever gone to them. You can't take these things with you when you die.
The only righteous person in Sodom was Lot. His wife and two daughters weren't righteous.
Your neighbor Fr. Richard Heilman has been canceled by his Bishop. Fr. Mike, Please offer Masses for him. Please...
But can we really call God "dad"? I would love to but gosh, to address Him informally makes me nervous.
I felt the same way for a long time. But now I would rather assent to the interpretation of this priest then my own ideas.Not easy.
Father, I attended your mass yesterday and heard this sermon. I am so confused as to why my praise might not be acceptable to God. Doesn’t God welcome all praise?
People get finicky about how they make petitions because they want what they want, and they don't understand how God wants only to give us what is good and what we need. They haven't really considered whether their request is the best thing they should ask for, or whether getting it would follow God's plan for them. Thus, if the answer is "no" or "not now," they get upset and think that maybe they didn't "pray right" since their request didn't "cause" God to answer it. But actually, we probably should reexamine what we asked for, and return humbly to thank Him for caring for us the way any good parent would, i.e., for our best interests.
Bu what's wrong with offering thanks any way you feel it? We know that God cares about our hearts. So long as we're not in mortal sin, what's the big deal? He can hear us anyway, right?
Do you write? Writing is good for speaking
Since this is your most recent full video, it seemed prudent to post my question here.
What teaching is there on intersex people, who by medical condition have bodies whose sex is ambiguous? If the church cannot engage with them appropriately they will be snatched up into secular gender absurdity.
About Adriàn Ortega Rojas, Vocational for The Priesthood in The Work of The Church, talk about I send my regards and greetings to Father Mike Schmitz, I agree with Father Mike Schmitz at speaking about Prayer, Prayer is the meal of The Soul, Prayer is So Important, Jesuschrist teaches to pray with The Our Father to arrive to God Almighty Father, sincerely Adriàn Ortega Rojas, Vocational for The Priesthood in The Work of The Church of Mother Trinity of The Holy Mother Church of God Almighty Father
When did Christ reach to the heavens and pray, "Father, replicate me as a clone of you so that I become you and take possession of your highest place and position as the Creator; God the Father"?
This would be helpful to know for a thing I'm writing.
As far as I'm aware, Christ was GIVEN full authority and power and will relinquish it back an the appointed time: 1 Corinthians 15:24, Greek, '...He shall hand over the Kingdom to God the Father ...when He shall annull all dominion all authority and power'.
My point is Christ did not have to change who He was and nor do we have to change who we are.
Changing how we love changes us, it changes our prayer life, it changes our abilities, it changes how we go about our day and night. It's something that comes with the territory. Thus, the objective should not be to change ppl, but to change how they love.
Side note:
Sodom and Gomorrah were about Molech sex cult activities, not monogamous homosexual relationships.
God bless you! 😀😀😀
@@rhwinner God bless you, too, thank you.
Especially in homosexual relationships, people have to change how they love.
You mention about not being sure if you do a novena correctly. I do. I see God and the others as being very Legalistic and if it's not just right they will reject it. God has a temper. Remember the three taps when God asked for two? Make a mistake and you wasted your time. Unfortunately i have been handed many a scorpion.
Gratias tibi Pater{InPersonaChristi} Schmitz; +++

The worst thought in the bible is that God is a Just Judge. That is not a comforting thought.
Your comfort is not the highest good. 😀
We give you thanks almighty God for yourself, father mike, ascension presents, biay podcast, and all your blessings you live and reign forever and ever amen
❤️
Amen
What incredible insight! Thank you Fr. Mike.
We are so glad you enjoyed the video, Ralph!
