Sometimes I feel like you are speaking to me Father Mike, your homilies hit home every time. I had to go to mass overseas and listen to a language I don't even speak . I followed along with structure to receive the Eucharist, a mass with so much energy and singing like I have never experienced before,. Even though I didn't speak the language, the energy was enough, and your Homily connected that experience today. Thank You.
HEYYYYYYYYI AM HAVING THE EXACTLY SAME EXPERIENCE! Wuoooo! Since I moved to China last year, my faith has strengthen so much with the combination of mass in Chinese, catholic community here, Fr. Mike's homilies and me listening to so many other Catholic TH-cam channels ❤❤❤ God bless the value of the unknown and unfamiliar, it's a high driven force to get closer and deeper in our faith ❤
@@danielperinger5612 sim.... mas eu também ouço sempre que posso as homilias dos Padres Paulo Ricardo, José Eduardo e Adriano Zandoná, são também muito edificantes
Father, what you said about some people who are very self conscious people being depressed, is so true. I know 2 ladies like that. I am going to share your homily with them. Thank you Father Mike.
Your longing to help your friends through faith is beautiful. Just a word of caution, depression comes from so many areas but maybe encouragement to see it's about God's love for them more than what they can do for Him. It's ok to hurt and even to feel overwhelmed by it, mother theresa experienced depression. It can be good to just be ok to be held in His arms
@@michaelynazzopardi2705Yes. I just learned mine has a genetic impetus. The moral aspect of how we deal with it is very real, but the cause itself is not always in our control.
Thank you, Fr. I have always had resistance of having people get closer to me because I was afraid they would see my flaws. Now I understand that I must risk being admired in order to be loved. Thank you. ♥️
There is so much in your homilies...This is another one of the valuable and best homilies...To love the person in front of me I keep at it...I live in a small community and this l am so inspired to do. Fr.Mike...Thankyou. Indeed you are an inspiration and a blessing. Prayers for you.🙏
Thanks Fr Mike. I have been led to understand that the true root of selfish ambition is pride. Daily praying the Humility Litany and heartfelt confession of the sin of pride are the antidote to selfish ambition.
Glory!!! After so much struggles I now own a new house with an influx of $330,000.00 every month God has kept to his words,my family is happy again everything is finally falling into place. God bless America 🇺🇸
After I raised up to 825k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my 10yrs old son's brain surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
When I am doing something creative artistically for spiritual enrichment as an offering to others, I am not doing it for admiration. And when the ambitious task or project takes a long time or involves difficulty I need encouragement. I don't need admiration, I need to know that others identify and see the value of the effort and can encourage it's completion. I believe that artwork is most often done to share, not possess. When the Holy Spirit inspires a creative artistic project that others will see, I feel so driven to manifest those images and thoughts, that I can't not do it! It becomes a prayer. And sometimes it is good to pray together, being encouraged to continue.
Another great homily Father Mike! Thank you for always inspiring me with your way of speaking so that I can understand and hope to do good by your words. Very interesting examples too. Thank you!
This is the Spirit of our country. It takes great intelligence you are 100 per cent right ambition selfishness is self centered whereas as when you are ambitious and create services that can be shared with others that's what is great. Father Mike have a Blessed week ahead.
We are called for ambition, but free from self protection, free from self preoccupation, and free from selfish ambition; because only then we can be free to be great.
It would be wonderful if BiAY were translated into Slovene! And if you came to have a couple talks here if you were ever in Europe, that would be even more amazing! Thank you Father, for being open to the Lords movements in your heart to do great things. I pray for you. 😊
Father Mike can you pray for my friend that just passed away today I pray 🙏🏼 for his soul to make it into heaven . He did nothing wrong . I pray 🙏🏼 for him . Please father god keep him in your prayers please 🙏🏼 amen 🙏🏼
I have been following your full mass for a couple of weeks because I can't attend church for health reasons. I always get so much out of your homilies. I also do appreciate that there is a prayer for those of us to say that can't receive Holy Communion. I continue with my Bible in a Year. You are truly a blessing!
@@Christisking864 thank you but I'm divorced so I can't receive communion. I asked my parish for flexibility on confession times as they do it once a week before mass and unfortunately they aren't flexible. I confess directly to God.
@@Christisking864 yes, my parish didn't answer me so I asked another Parish but as a Catholic I know I have to be granted an annulment to receive Communion again
@@wendygricken3369divorce does not stop you from being free to receive communion. If you need to, go to confession and open yourself to Jesus healing you
Don't give up. Pray to Mother Mary for her intercession and healing. Your trial is strengthening you and your children. Trust in God. He is with you and your children. Let Him work it out. Jesus, I trust in You. Jesus I surrender to You.
Dear fr. Mike, Thank you again for your wonderful homily. ❤ You mentioned Joseph Bo (or sth like that). Is that the English name Americans gave to Friderik Irenej Baraga, a Slovenian missionary? I'm Slovenian and we admire this man very much. He was proclaimed beatified cca a decade ago. Interesting name though😂
@@myckl287 I'm sick of Christians and the way they behave towards me. I was blowing off steam and mocking them. That's all. I actually believe in God. I just have heterodox views and don't like being slandered and intimidated.
@myckl287 I was blowing off steam at Christians who have been extremely rude to me. I actually believe in God. I am simply terrified by the behavior of Christians and have heterodox views and was frustrated. My dignity was severely and brutally violated first. Shouldn't respond. But each person has their breaking point, as John McCain wrote. I am stewing in my filth despite having done the right thing on account of indescribably indecent and disrespectful behavior.
@@myckl287 I have an uncle who is a professed atheist. He was playing a game of beanbags on the same team as his cousin's wife, who claims to be devoutly religious. She tried to cheat, and he called her on it. This illustrates the clear principle for me: one truly confesses God with the heart and not with the lips. Actually, I was mocking people who confess God with the lips and not with the heart.
Hello, Father! My name is Ashlyn. I've been having a really hard time with being afraid and feeling helpless against demons. I get scared and I feel as though I can do absolutely nothing. So, please, if you have any idea what can help please help me to understand more.
Father Mike I had a question is there a difference between the ascension catechism and the regular catechism ? I just got one from the book store over the weekend. It’s not ascension’s
No they've been there before, you see lots of people in typical jobs that then go arrest other people for a petty fee, what fuels them is all the people that owe money, We're Jewish, our debts get wiped.
Different path🥋 2045 Well, ultimately if our inability to provide adequate woman's health to our parishioners, their death, would be the same as the loss of an unborn, since when think critically, pregnant women are children as well, or someone's daughter -debate club A+B->
"So not trying to be rude or disrespectful and especially not unloving but are you listening to the Pope with the one world religion.... All religions lead to the same path, is this what you believe and teach as well? The only way to heaven is through the Father Jesus Christ our resurrected King yashua!!!!John 3:16❤ and God is saying one last call his return is very near❤❤❤
If u go hiking or walk at a trail u follow a path right. It doesn’t directly take u home - place of residence but it paves a way to eventually head up home. U go around trail or complete it but it leads u to ur car, bike or a route heading home. Our Pope said path NOT other way. Jesus is the way truth life - our means to make it Home. Pope is saying & reminding us maybe that good works, even if atheists or non Christian, leads to a possibility of Home. But u see, Jesus is the key - IF HE SEES U FIT - Christian or not - IT IS HIS CALL TO GRANT ANYONE HOME. If u are true Christian - pray for the Pope - quit misinterpreting the bible. Better yet seek proper guidance. I say a priest like Fr Mike. The Pope is helping us see clearly ONLY IF we open the eyes of our souls & listen clearly w our hearts.
Thanks
