    I love the way Fr uses novels and movies to explain the gospel. It has made me watch secular movies and search for bible principles in them. And i have taught my teenage son to do same. God continue to direct you Fr Mike

    Cradle Catholic here. The words of my conversion, “God I know what you want, but I’m going to do what I want”. Watched a video 4-5 years ago with father Mike saying the same words. It’s like God reached right through me. I imagine that’s what Pentecost was like. That night, I chose God. Quit pornography, masturbation and fornication that night cold turkey. Weekly mass, started praying the rosary, grew in devotion to our Lady. If you asked me pre second conversion what I wanted, I’d say more money, bigger house, cars, women. If you ask me now, I want to be a saint. Deo Gratias

    One of the best homilies from the great Fr Mike. I was frozen in time listening to him this morning.

    I put my faith and trust in Christ! My greatest happiness comes from following him our Lord and Savior. So I’m patiently waiting for his return! As a single mother things tend to be difficult on me. My husband passed years ago so I’m alone. I’m overwhelmed because both of my children are autistic. I’m struggling trying to support them and myself. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I’m so discouraged I feel so alone in this world. Every month is a battle, to not end up on the streets with my children. I want to give up because the devil has sent many to attack me simply for sharing my testimony. I have been put down and mocked, harassed for simply asking for prayers! Prayers are all I need. I’m so discouraged but God gives me strength to keep going. I have faith God will provide. He HAS THIS FAR. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Please pray for me and my children.

    "It's the ending that says what kind of story it was." Thank you for another insightful, beautiful homily, Fr Mike. I will do my best to choose God so that my life ends as an enduring love story.

    Thank you Father Mike for showing us how much God loves us and how, with Him, we can 'write' our own life story as a love story.

    Dear Father Mike, you have answered exactly what I had questions for in the right time. I have just started to read The Notebook couple days before your homily. That story exudes God from itself, and helped me understand so many aspects of life. The Holy Spirit spoke through you! My prayers are with you always! God Bless You!

    yes, I also love BBC pride and prejudice, but because of the perfect actors and extremely detailed fashion only, the story itself is almost unbearably sentimental. But, I someone would be able to make a sermon on some Feynman's books or on incomparable Chaos by Gleick, it can be interesting :D

    I share your homilies with many Catholic and non-Catholic friends. What I miss in the new production, and I like the shorter version with the Homily, but I wish you would at least put the gospel reading along with it so that the ones that I send it to know that you’re speaking is based somewhat off of that scriptural reading.

    If you look at the repeating cycle present , past and through culture and history, media, the stepparent. Do you think Joseph treated his biological kids and Jesus the same? The cycle goes back to Osiris and isis horus and set. I broke this cycle every way i could get at it. But what if the Judas was Joseph.

    oh no, love stories - I hate them - they are so boring :D. I love hamlet though :D (And the best film hamlet is that with incredible Helena Bonham Carter - I love her interpretation - and some pretty average Mel Gibson)

    In Christ needs to be added to the statement something other than God. For example, the end of semester should be in Christ if it’s not who’s using your files and your free will that God gave us and Satan tries to use by using them. Is it Christ or Satan using your frail files, I hope you’re not eating green apples from the tree of knowledge. How do I know this only by the grace of God who I see is Christ incarnate …
