- So much of life is doing our duty. Doing what we are supposed to do. And yet, there are times when this means that we only “go through the motions”. There is a chance for us to do more however…we can choose to grow.
So often, we can spend our lives simply going through the motions, doing our duty, and nothing more is a recipe for discouragement. But when we realize that God has a worthy goal for us all of our tasks take on incredible significance.

Lord please bless me with humility, love, and an understanding heart.
Thank you so much for your passion and ministry. You are a blessing.
Thank you father Mike!!
Such a great homily! I'm excited for this new series! Much truth here
We are always in need of The Holy Spirit to helps us not to get stuck in the motions.
Crucial information nowadays, given the overwhelming stimulation that we are exposed to.
Great homily.. God Bless .
Thank you Father. Your homilies are always beautiful! I can’t wait for the series
This is so powerful I will need to repeat this homily several times until it is absorbed.
Thank you for the comforting words about Queen Elizabeth. I recognized her devotion above her wants manny years ago. This was awesome. Thank you. I needed it. We all needed this.
This is yet another wonderful reflection.

Thank you, Father Mike. God bless you!
I feel like I am just going through the motions now. Thank you Fr. Mike for this homily.
Sounds like you want more.
Thank you Father! 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
Amen🙏
The reason that the works done by Queen Elizabeth II were "remarkable" because she was able to reinvent her life of duty that touched and felt by many. When Mr. Miyagi was showing Daniel how to paint and to wax, he was showing him the mechanism of how to do things. We can do the same motions and incorporate our deep breathing into the emotions, and if we could turn the qi or energy to flow throughout out bodies from head to toes and vice versa, then we really are successful in mastering the techniques. The same goes to our faith and our relationship with God, if we keep praying and developing our relationship with God, and we are able to feel God's love, then it would be so much more fun and passionate.
Father I wish you would speak on R*** there’s some people who who go through this and get lost and feel like giving up because of what happened to them, some of the people who go through this once had a strong faith in God but now feel like their damned, that this was their fault, that their soul is lost. But also they are scared to come out and talk about it because our world has shown no mercy to those who are brave enough to talk or come forward about what happened to them. These people need some words of encouragement and reassurance. If there is a way for you to help please do!
Very nice
Sadly, Faith in this life gives me no joy. I do it because I believe in the life to come.
I will pray for you.
@@seans.131 Thanks, and you also.
Senseless Acts of Duty
My english is not good enough to understand what "go through the motions" is suppose to mean, can someone gimme a hand?
to do something
1. without making much effort to do it well
2. without passion
in this example, it means to do something without spiritual investment
Mindlessly going about your tasks or life without effort or attention (unconscious or habitual without thought or attention)
@@lawrencegatti8283, or without good will, maybe? I'm not sure if it's valid in this context fr. Mike brought.
@@PeterBaverso, without intention, so to speak?
I’m a guitar teacher, you should hit me up 🤙
OMG I WISH I KNEW PRAYERS YEARS AGO. I've had some insane friends. One of them was raised Catholic. If he were still alive I would pray over him just to be on his nerves 😂 I'm sure he could see me doing it too. Was always surprised that I'm not actually evil. Just obnoxious 🤪
Oh man. I can't live that long. Need to start smoking 😭
Why does everything have to happen out here. This is why it takes hours to get a few minutes away 😑 HOLLYWOOD DREAMS 🤮
