Goodness Father Mike have you been fertilizing the Gods seed inside of my heart and I have felt my heart become so full and yearning to be closer to God then I ever felt possible! I’m converting to the Catholic faith and I just want to say thank you for your dedication and commitment to preaching Gods Word!
I wonder if the young 9 yr old MIke ever knew that he was never destined to be an "individualistic" ego centered winner (which is the state of so many accomplished people) but a mass winner. A mentor who turns scores of listeners into winners; a leader leading into perfect victory; a winner of souls for Christ. A young at heart priest, with the wisdom of the ages, which is shown by the choice you made to live for Christ and not only be a priest but a really dedicated spiritual reflector and impart er. St. Paul will surely be praying for you to continue part of his work of winning souls for Christ.
Am doing the Catechism in a Year and getting so much out of it. This popped up on my phone and really hit home to a 71 year old. We have served at Steubenville Florida for a number of years. Thank you for your enthusiasm, energy and encouragement. Continue to be filled and guided by the Holy Spirit.
I am 65 and I heard more encouragement tonight than I have in a very long time, God bless you Father Mike and thank you for spreading the Holy Spirit not just to your audience there with you but also to us sitting by the PC two years later. God lives and all is well.Henryk
His preaching and talks are simply made in heaven, never get tired of watching and listening to him. What a great priest. God bless the womb that gave birth to you.
I know this was originally presented at a youth conference but I'm so glad that at the age of 40 I happened across it. This is exactly the message I needed to hear today. Thank God for the talents and graces he's given to this young priest! And thank God for guiding me to this presentation!
I just listened to this because my daughter is planning to marry a non-Catholic. She is strongly considering marrying in his Protestant church. She is discussing things with HIS parents. I keep asking her, they need to come over so WE can discuss a plan. I plan to ask her (he might also) to watch this video and a few more I think are relevant. Thank you for taking the time to make these video which are so important to explain beliefs of the Catholic church. God has given you a great gift! So proud that you are not wasting it!!
You may not have been a great swimmer Fr. Mike but you sure know how to teach about God. Always such a great message you give. Thank you and thank God for you.
After 20 yrs of marriage. I'm going through a hard time, feeling unloved and unappreciated because I'm not as pretty, not as smart and not as worth to be loved. It helps to Know thatI I'm worth to be loved in God's eyes.
Using his own story, the story of Zacchaeus and of Jean Valjean (Les Misérables), Father Mike ilustrates that we are worth loving, no matter what. Exceptionally good!!
@Patrick Montgomery Yeah we know but Fr.Mike is trying to show everyone their worth because in today's world, people believe they cannot be loved the way they currently are and yet Jesus has shown us through the Bible and Fr.Mike that an illusion like that is a lie as demonstrated by Jesus's actions
@Patrick Montgomery Well look back at church history and see who came first the Catholics or Protestants. And also if you see really believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, then you'll believe everything that came from him such as the ONE AND TRUE APOSTOLIC ROMAN CATHOLIC(UNIVERSAL)church.
@Patrick Montgomery You need to actually see that even though you believe that it appeared at that time, it was still way long before the Protestants showed up.
Jesus loves us as we are, but he doesn't want us to stay us we are, he wants us to repent, as for forgiveness and follow his Word. "Go and sin no more".
Dear Catholics: Please remember that we adore God , Our Blessed Lord on our knees. I invite you all to receive Our Blessed Lord during Holy Communion Kneeling and in the Tongue. Our Lord is more pure more innocent than a new born baby, yet we treat him like a snack, like a candy. Please i beg you. Receive Him Kneeling and in the Tongue, not standing up as if defying HIM and definitely not in the hand, as this practice is Sacrilegious. God Love You All.
@Patrick Montgomery Stop wasting your time trying to contradict faithful Catholics! And for your information bud, The Catholic Church is the actual real church that Jesus Christ himself instituted and you 'Born Again" Protestants decided to leave it and create your own denominations and false doctrines and heresies.You don't express the true message of love and you hate on everyone and tell them all to repent as if you are perfect.
I love the story That guy stole all the The things he stove from the priest. That reminds me of me . I used to be a thief It's doing food From the stores I was Lay Off At Is my job. I was in another jail For drugs Never convict I should then. Then I Got right with God And I returned to the camp of church . Now I'm a practice in I had to tell about those things and confession I told everything So I'll be ready to take the Holy Communion.
Mike thank you for the guidance . Wells = come back Catholic Church . I had to do all my confessions before taking the Is Holy communion Is going to mass every Sunday. No I'm a practicing Catholic . What is Is not just that alone Other things also Is like ash Is Wednesday mass . Is going to mass on the Good Friday. Is going to mass Easter Sunday. Doing a fast during those times. No meat. I'm slowly understanding What to requirements are Be Practice Catholic .
*Nobody* should be stolen from, at all, ever; it doesn't matter how poor anybody is, you do not steal from them, nor how rich, again, you do not steal from them, no matter your own need- in fact, if you need to steal to survive, Father Mike, or anyone, anyone who needs to steal to feed their families has an inevitable duty to commit suicide, for tis far better to commit suicide than to live as a thief and be able to make it to Heaven by meriting a mortal sin in the process. Honesty is that vital that it is far more holy to ensure that those who would steal to ensure their families survive wind up in Hell for all eternity than to steal to do good!
Frankly, Father Mike; the opinions of those in power, who or whatever they may be, yes including God, are blatantly and forever irrelevant; all that could possibly matter is what we do with our "hand of cards" so to coin a phrase- so the opinions of the entire world, ourselves included, never will come anywhere near mattering. What therefore does matter is objective reality in and of itself, never anyone's petty opinion at all, ever. And absolutely no place is to be afforded for the feelings of anyone with any kind of power; best odds: the complete eradication of all forms of power and all those infected by power, same with authority: the only good authority figure is a *dead* authority figure; for then and only then will anyone truly be safe: when all forms of power and authority have been completely eradicated by the powerless!
Ouch. I usually like listening to Father Mike but it's pretty cruel and abusive to condemn people who abort fetuses with down syndrome - calling them murderers again and again. It is not your place to condemn or judge people in this way and I wish you would stick to your normal encouraging messages. Try to act more Jesus-like please.
So...Jesus would be okay with you aborting a baby God gave you? Jeremiah 1:5 says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you" ESV. Abortion is murder. It is ugly, it is disgusting, it is unthinkable. And it is an unfortunate reality in this country. We have to face reality. We have to stand up to it and say this is evil, this is sin. It doesn't matter how it makes you feel.

@Patrick Montgomery How????? You are!
@Patrick Montgomery Yes it is possible because the CATHOLIC CHURCH IS JESUS' CHURCH AND Fr.MIke is living proof that it is possible
Not many of the TH-cam videos make me cry but this one did. I love you too Jesus.

There are six kids in me fam too! I am the third one! For me it goes boy boy girl girl boy boy.
@Patrick Montgomery stop being a hateful bigot
💯❤
😭😭😇💗💗
He's freaking me out.
Why?
"Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect"? Perhaps this only refers to the "love your enemies" discourse?
I love the story That guy stole all the The things he stove from the priest. That reminds me of me . I used to be a thief It's doing food From the stores I was Lay Off At Is my job.

Which movie is he talking about? And which book?
Same question! Anybody?

What's the name of the play that Father Mike starts to talk about at around 25 minutes? Does anyone know please?
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo!
I would love to hear about the changes you made for clean eating 😊
