Once I read a phrase that said: "Only the disciplined are truly free, the undisciplined are slaves of moods, apetites and passions" and is sooo true!
Very true! This keeps getting reinforced through the generations especially todays generation, everyone's looking for a routine, exercise a focus and a discipline because without those things they are realising there is an absolute disconnect. You start to feel overwhelmed instead of in control and alert.
But there's no God just imbalances and bad habits

This man is deep. He taught me that gluttony isn't just out of control eating
@Bold One shut your filthy mouth
@ Bold One...Do you not have a father? Do you not celebrate father's day? Did Paul not refer to himself as a spiritual father?
Drinking as well.
Overconsumption of tremendous amounts of food or drink.
Jesus is coming just now
@@eduardog8201 be polite and gentle
I used to binge on food and i was obesse, I can't hold my hunger and need food constantly each an hour. I eat like crazy.
after 2 years of miserable life, I try to fasting, and I feel like I was reborn again!
I no longer craving on large amount of food, I can suppress my hunger and control my appetite.
Now my BMI is healthy, praise to the Lord 🙏
I would like to ask for a prayer chain I suffered a massive stroke last year, my prayer is for a total restoration
I just saw your prayer request now. Sending prayers your way. I hope you were able to recover. God bless you and your loved ones.
Sending prayers May God heal you ❤️
I hope you were healed. Lord give total healing to Ryan from this stroke and let him live a life free from illness so he can better serve you.
Be healed in Jesus name

I’m verrrrry guilty of gluttony...
I watched this video, and immediately deleted my snapchat.
*high fives*
Harris Johnson cheers man
Had to do this with Facebook. It was taking all of my time.
Mary Cole Hahahaha
Harris Johnson amen to that I just did the same. Had to think hard if I really wanted to or not and I just couldn’t think of the last time I had a meaningful conversation on snapchat that couldn’t have just been had over text or something, aka snapchat brought no added value to my life
I had an addition to beer. But I'm sober today by the Grace of God. And thanks to the fellowship of AA.
Father!! HOW did you know that I needed this message today? Literally googling gluttony and temperance and didn't find anything clear or that was relevant to our current culture. Thank you and god bless. I'll pray for you today.
Same here, you have no idea! It's strange. It's like seeing Fr. Mike's friendly face and seeing him discuss this makes me realize I'm being a bit hard on myself and to view it more scientifically, if that makes any sense. More confidence in God's grace, but with the conscientiousness to change what really needs to be changed nonetheless.
Guilt is supposed to just alert you and direct you to where you're supposed to go. Beyond a certain point I think it's satan trying to torture you and bring you to despair. God does not want that for your soul!
That’s God guiding you to watch this video
Why are you calling him Father? Only one deserves that Title, THAT IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, CALLING ANOTHER MAN "FATHER" IS ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY AND GOD WILL JUDGE IF YOU DON'T REPENT FROM IT, the pope is an example of this, you Catholics call him "the holy father" and eventually he's going to call himself "God", read your Bible's people and have your eyes opened to the truth! Revelation 13:6 - And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven
Tiffany Zoe since you googled gluttony, RUclips reviewed your search history and added this video to your recommend list based off your searches and watched videos.... no hate, I also have faith but this was just RUclips doing their job haha.
@@Chris-fe1kx Nah man, it was GOD....
Dang, Father... you have a way of explaining things that makes me super uncomfortable in the best way, like the conscience-poking way. I need to think about this more.
Don't call him father. There is only one father.
+Jesse Stassi My dad Ron?
Father?
You all need to feed yourselves spritualy from WORD not videos of someone who calles himself father?! It's blasphemy to Lord and against Bible. Same as christening of babies and worshiping/praying to saints which is all Catholics do!
Matthew 23:9
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven"
That's how you know if someone preaches the gospel correctly.
I am struggling deeply with gluttony. Everytime I am stressed or sad I turn to food and eat away my emotions. I sure struggle with both emotional eating and overeating. I know it's wrong and I have been condemned by the Holy Spirit but I don't know how else to deal with my strong negative emotions. Please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏 I do not want my life to be ruined by this foolish sin. Lord have mercy upon me 😞
You are mistaken, you are not condemned by the Holy Spirit, but convicted, the Lord will help us overcome!
Toluwanimi Alli Amen. Thank you 🙏
I wrote this a few hours ago, and it helps me now. God plans for me
How are you now ?
Toluwanimi Alli I am doing better these days. I'm not struggling so much and I have a better relationship with food now. Confessing this sin helped me a lot and also I learnt not to judge myself so harshly.
Thank you to you and everyone who prayed for me 🙏 God is always good.
I am addicted to gluttony. I eat to comfort myself, I use screens constantly. It's terrible. I've been trying for years to stop. I'm wasting my healthiest and prettiest years (25 yo girl here), and I hate it! My childhood was pretty bad and I think that's why I do it. To comfort myself from the pain of my past.
you’re 27 now. any updates?
@@salome3354 Blast from the past. Thanks for bringing me back to this. I'm way better for many reasons, a big one being therapy. But my screen addiction is majorly reduced after I spent 7 months with a flip phone, and since then a conscious effort to be mindful of my screen time. My overeating has gotten a lot better just with time, patience, and not forcing myself to do things but taking gentle, easy, baby steps. Cutting added sugar almost out of my diet has helped even more. I guess what I've most found for me personally is when I try to change all at once or force it, I pendulum swing back in the other direction. A lot of slow, gentle change and self-love has really made me happy. And getting a little older has freed me from worrying about being pretty, which feels almost childish now. I like my body more now than ever, and barely wear makeup. It's nice. I'm in a good place. It's taken me a good 7-8 years of really working on myself, and even though it was often hard I am so glad I persevered. Thanks again, stranger. This was nice to revisit.
can we not I am so, so happy for you. Keep it up (you have about 60 or so more years to go all things being equal :-) You have my very best wishes for a long, healthy and prosperous life.
@@salome3354 You as well, sending you all the good wishes.
@@gandalfs-pants thank you for sharing and praying for you on your journey. May we all heal from our past and love as we are loved.
This could not have been uploaded at a better time for me!
1. I had quit Facebook (something I was HEAVILY addicted to) two years ago, but had been contemplating going back on. I kept trying to answer the "why do I feel as though I need this again?" and coming up blank, stood undecided. You just gave me my answer--I don't, so I won't.
2. I have been withdrawing myself from over consuming food&beverage in general. I had stopped drinking coffee last summer, worked out, reduced portions, etc. and lost 20 pounds....only to gain it all back this past winter. I knew I needed to lose the weight(and some), but I never completely saw it from a spiritual standpoint. Thank you for pointing out that by saying no now, I'm saying yes to something for God in the process. I'm allowing God to take control of more of my life(because I am human, and forget that in certain areas).
Thank you for not only applying this to food(as most have done), but also overconsumption of things many struggle with.
Blessings to you, Father!
I did the same with FB. I will pray for you that we can avoid this temptation.
My mother always says that gluttony is a sin that comes with instant punishment (stomacsickness)
I just finished my lunch and was satisfied. Out of gluttony...I went to search for junk food I had bought last week. thankfully someone had thrown it away, so I returned sheepishly to my desk LOL.
The crazy thing is that as I was walking to search for it , I literally was asking myself “why are you doing this? You don’t want this “. I was avoiding myself and avoiding the conversation I know I need to have with God about discipline , prayer ...so many things he has put on my heart that I have drowned out with eating and TV and googling. As I walked back to my desk, I actually prayed to Jesus to help me gain control because I have been out of control lately...no discipline whatsoever !
Coming across this video at this time has strengthened my resolve. I am so convicted right now ! Any patron saints for overcoming gluttony??
Thank you Father, your videos are truly a blessing.
Your comment really spoke to me
Ive never looked at it like that. Im on a weight loss journey and sometimes I feel im missing out on pleasure. But the reason I started this was to free myself from food addiction.....which made miserable. Dont feel too bad about the nachos....they are designed to be addicting and hyper palatable. There is always a healthy and delicious alternative to your favourite junk food!
I have lost at least 63 lb on Weigh Down. It is a scripture based weight loss program, but not Catholic. You eat what you crave in a portion of 1/3 of what you used to eat, but only after your stomach growls. Eating what you crave is necessary for the program to work. After I lose another 29 lbs. I will be free of the addiction and be able to perhaps find alternatives, but eating 1/3 the food in a day is already eating far less bad foods. But I also need to add the good foods when I am able to eat small portions when I am truly hungry and will not still eat the bad foods on top of that because I can not control my cravings.
Nachos are a delectable delight!
Fr. Mike break down the other Capital Sins please.
second!
I'm definitely guilty of gluttony when it comes to your videos, Fr. Mike. They're like Doritos...you can't watch just one...😳
Sharon Stegeman hahaha haha 😂 you crazy.
100% correct
Same!
Same here!
I don't think that watching a Pastor is Gluttony. Besides, not enough People watch them. =)
There is a lot of truth in this. Some kids( and adults) with ADHD find delayed gratification almost impossible.
I just had a lunch where I ate so much I couldn't walk without my stomach hurting.... very timely!
This happened to me the other day now the holy spirit is working with me to be free of food addiction
Awesome video! I admit I was a little reluctant to watch this because I have trouble controlling my food intake, but you explain things with such kindness and clarity. It is so true that I stop enjoying food when I eat until I'm stuffed, it always made me frustrated. Now I'm motivated to develop better eating habits! Thank you Father!
I'm not Christian but I could listen to you talk for hours you explain everything in a very simple and entertaining way! :)
Is it gluttonous to watch 6 hours of Fr Mike videos because they’re so good
Father, I'm a 64 year old Roman Catholic, baptised as a baby, communion, confirmation, yada ect. But I stopped going to church and forgot about my faith until about age 27. For some mystic reason that I won't bore everybody here, I came back to our faith in a very bombastic way. I went to prayer groups and read books about St. Thomas Aquinas. I lived the life of a Roman Catholic until about 10 years ago, when my family became diverse, kids left the home nest, and my wife and I stopped communicating.
My point is that I never really left my faith, but I didn't stay true to is as well. I find your RUclips video's are bringing me back to my faith. I don't know If I'll ever be the same young man I was, full of Godful joy, but you are a fresh beginning for me and a place for me to start again. I'm so glad you are here for us.
MY second POINT: I get the feeling that my local church priest's are getting burned out. I also think that the differences from Pope Francis from our prior Pope Bennidict, is confusing many people. One of my local churches is advertising that they accept all people. (That is good). But they give communion to the Gay. lesbian, bisexual group, trans-sexual minority, which gives me a great problem.
I understand that we are all sinners and deserve "forgiveness" if we ask for it. I am a sinner and commit the same sins all the time. I must go to confession because of my weakness. But at least I acknowledge my "conduct" as a sin. I try to refrain from doing it, but It seems like Gluttony, as you have explained very well, has gotten the better of me.
My issue is that one of my churches gives communion to people who do not acknowledge their conduct is a sin. In other words, they are not asking for foregiveness because they do not believe their conduct is sinful. The part that disturbs me is that the Church continues to allow communion to this group, despite the fact that they will not acknowledge their conduct as Sinfull.
In other words, it is one thing to look at bad things on the internet, admit they are bad things, and ask for forgiveness. But it is another thing to say: I continue to have sex, outside the sacrement of marriage with a same sex partner, I refuse to admit it's a sin, and I expect the church to continue to allow me and my same sex partner to have communion.
It has always been a sin in the Catholic Church to have sex outside of the Man/woman marrital relationship. But this Fransciscan R.C. Church allows this conduct, doesn't do try to stop it, and allows communion without forgiveness. It appears this R.C. Church is accepting the modern belief that same sex, non marital sex, is not a sin. It allows communion without the need for confession.
I personally deprive myself of communion when I go off the beaten path and maybe commit the sin of watching something on the internet forbidden by the Church. Isn't this hipocracy? If gay people love the lord and want to receive communion, shouldn't they at least have to admit that their conduct is contrary to Catholic teachings? If they ask for forgiveness and truly try to avoid the sin of sex, outside of man/woman marriage, I would have no problem with them receiving the sacrements. But if they take the position that their conduct is "not a sin' to begin with, does the Church have the right to give communion to them? Are the priests committing a sin for aiding and abetting in assisting in their sins?
I'm too old to care about what others think about me by asking these questions. But its been an issue with me for many years. I wish you would do a video about this. I'm sure I'm going to be accused of being the "sinner" here for being intolerant, but I'm going by the Church's history and rules of what is and is not sinful. I'm not making up the list of sins, I'm just acknowledging what the Church has always said is wrong.
Sincerely, DPA
BTW, Please forgive my typos. I'm sure there are many.
I´ll try to keep this quote in my mind and heart: I´m saying no to this good thing, so I can say yes to freedom and joy
I've always thought of gluttony in terms of food - never applied it to other parts of my life. Thanks for this explanation! God bless.
Thank you sir. I'm not Catholic but I really need to hear more like this. I've had binge eating disorder badly for almost 20 years and nothing so practical or inspirational has come from the sources i usually tap into.
same
That Dorito example is a really good way of grasping the idea that saying no - following the rules God lays down - leads to joy. It really helped me get the concept and the link to happiness.
“Learning to say NO to myself!” In my “old” age, I’ve got better at saying “no” to others, but weaker about saying it to myself! I’m Hangry a lot, And “Hired” (hungry/tired?) too. 😢 bless u Fr!!
Fr Mike, you always go straight to the heart of the matter, bravo! I would love to hear your homilies. Never stop, please.
God Bless Father Mike! His channel is so timely and always makes perfect sense!
I really needed to hear this mesage today. God bless you Father Mike.
"Say yes to Freedom and Joy" I loved it when Father Mike said this at the end because it highlights what alot of humans WANT - the freedom TO sin because it's enjoyable to indulge (lust, gluttony, etc.) And he's saying what humans NEED - the freedom FROM sin. Being a slave to something is inherently not joyful!!!
Dang it Father Mike, I really needed that just now. Thank You.
I have struggled with food addiction for over 40 years. Food was what I turned to for any emotion I could not control or understand. I asked God countless times to take this burden, this cross from me and nothing ever changed. Then God showed me sacrifice and fasting and gave me the wisdom to see that I was the one binding myself in these chains. It is a daily struggle but by the grace of God and temperance, I am on the road to freedom. Thanks be to God🙏 Great video Father.
Thank you Fr Mike. Say no to something to so that I can say yes to freedom and yes to joy! It makes perfect sense
Father Mike you are such a doll. You have a beautiful insightful spirit.Thanks for being you.
Mind-blown. So it's more than just about food. Gotta keep this in mind with tv and music. Thank you, Father Mike. God bless you.
Father Mike, thank you so much for all these videos! I'm getting confirmed this Sunday, and your Chosen series has changed my life. I was going through a hard time earlier this year, but when I watched your videos I was brought closer to the Lord. You're such an amazing priest and person, and I hope you never stop making videos!
OH MY WORD. THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. BLESS THIS MAN. Bro keep postin!
Thank you father for your words of wisdom on gluttony. I've been struggling with gluttony for a while but this really helps. And I just learned a new word, intemperance. God Bless.
Fr. You have a special way of explaining things.
Thanks.
Thank you. You are such a guiding light in overwhelming times.
Father Mike you’re amazing disciple of God and God truly use you as an instrument to give us the great message, thank you.😊🙏🏻
I clicked away from this to yet another stationery haul video, and the penny dropped. It's amazing how many different forms gluttony can take! Thank you Father for yet another helpful video. I look forward to these every week! '
God bless!
I shared this on FB. Thank you for helping me understand gluttony in a different way. I confess of this sin a lot. Thankfully God is the God of second and third and, well, endless chances. 😊
I've been feeling like such a bad person because of my obsessiveness. Truly wearing on me, breaking me down, this guilt. Thank you for this video.
Brilliantly explained! Thanks Father Mike! So glad you do what you do!
Makes complete sense! Thank you Father Mike! God bless you!
THANK YOUUU
I have an addiction to my phone and food and realized that I need to start exercising temperance in order to be more free
Very Excellent video Father Mike. Thank you for making and sharing it. Bless you!
So enlightening. Thank you, Father
Thank you, Father. Yet again, great inspiring words.
Thank you so much father Mike. You make me enjoy much more my religion which I love even more. 💙 God Bless U 🙌
Thank you Father this really has helped me tonight. Thank you for everything you do. God bless you. Much love.
Wonderful video, father.
Thank-you father Mike, God Bless you!
Fr. Mike we are very blessed with a priest who touched very deeply into our conscience and fight for us to stay on track to heaven!
Fr. If possible could have a talk about Holy Matrimony and explain where is in the Bible, my husband refuse to believe in Jesus he likes meditation and something like "self realization " I would like to help him, Thank you Fr. Mike
May God bless you always.
Thank you father Mike.....i was actually not able to enjoy life, you have helped me understand how to be free and enjoy the gift of life that "God" gave us.😊😊
Love your videos man. As a protestant, I'm learning so much from you and find you very approachable when it comes to Catholic theology.
God bless you, Fr Mike, thank you for bring God's Word to me.
Gluttony towards doing absolutely nothing.
just looking at this mans face make me feel at peace . he has the grace of God.
THANK YOU FATHER! I needed this!
That is the first truly convincing reason I have heard for all the rules and I thank you because it is something that was bothering me and making me feel conflicted about the church.
Thank you, as always! You're amazing!
I needed this. I will watch this over and over until it finally sinks in!!!!
The best way to avoid yourselves from overeating snacks is to NOT buy them. When you lack control in the kitchen, create control in the grocery store. This is not weakness, it is about finding your where your strength is.
I cut out almost all snacks buy only allowing myself to buy one bag of chips or 1 chocolate bar a week. It worked for me and maybe it will work for others too :).
Father Mike I just find your channel, I was looking up videos on the gluttony spirit & I've come across your video & what a great timing I am currently overcoming the gluttony spirit, we all pay a price in this world for whatever we do or done, we all have to pay a price one way or another for being rebellious its its like it's a punishment I'd say, sometimes its a punishment by mankind & sometimes its a punishment naturally by god, I had to pay the price for being gluttonous which leads me to be obese & having health problems, that's the price I had to pay, now I am healing taking good care of my health, eating healthier, making better decisions, working out, and knowing my limits, I'm overcoming the spirit & the sin for being gluttonous.💪🙌
Thank you!!! Good bless you brother Mike!!
Man, this is all very very true. Thanks dude!
I love you Fr.Mike!
This video popped up in my newsfeed just exactly when I need it. I'm a stress eater and turn to junk food whenever I'm sad or depressed and sometimes reject something (food mainly) just because it's not upto whatever I was expecting. I'm also heavily addicted to the phone and I just knew I need to stop somewhere and think about these addictions. Just then, this video appeared! Praise the Lord! Also bleed Fr. Mike for all his work 🙏🏼
Teach me father mike! I can't say no to myself right now!
I need your guidance and love deep inside me
Thank you father. you are the best!
This just popped up in my feed, I needed to see this video, the comments have helped me too, Thank You God ❤️
Thank you God for allowing the Vatican Bank to wash money for the Mafia. The Mafia is not a mass murder institution - they are a fun loving bunch of holy men, who love little cute children, like the priests' famous affection of Roman Catholic children, eh?
Well. I need to go to confession. Yikes!
Mary Hirose Me too. All those binge watching sessions...
Mary Hirose same I weigh almost 200 pounds and eat
No u don't for 1 to claim you can forgive someone is a form of blasphemy and also it isn't a son of you don't know its a sin
@@Alexander-vm2ox AMEN BROTHER I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO NOTICED THIS, THE BIBLE READS
Mark 2:7
“Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?”
Hahaha me too.
Thank you so much for this enlightening video Fr. Mike. I didn't know the criteria for this sin and so well explained as always.
Well done good sir. No to a bad thing and yes to freedom.
It is exactly 3 am an I can't stop watching your videos. 😳
This guy could charm the pants off of a choirboy!
Wow love the indepth explanation and spirituality associated with this description. Thank you.
Thank you Father. You make it so clear.
I feel like, fasting and cleansing yourself and this topic of gluttony are extremely related; in the sense of fasting is a way of forcing yourself and placing yourself in control of a certain matter where you want to not be "enslaved" by it and more of a free person and enforcing that statement that you are free, which father Mike mentions are the end.
I got the notification of this upload the moment I was considering devouring another plate of pasta. God just knows man
Father Mike, I love nearly all of your video's, but this is an especially good one.
I say NO to eating sometimes, because even though I get hungry, I know that maintaining my correct athletic weight, I am able to get around more easily, climb steps, run, etc., and It's a joyful thing. then I have a meal, and I have more energy to go play sports.
I'm a snacker,and giving up snacks during Lent is hard. But I am appreciating food much more, I find. I also binge tv shows,and I had not considered this to be gluttony, so I thank you, Father, for pointing this out, and I will cease this also. Once again, Father Mike, you get right to the heart of the matter. Bless you.
thanks Father Mike 💚💛❤️
This was so eye-opening. There's so much more to my eating problems than just eating. I struggle to ONLY eat when I feel hunger, that is probably my biggest issue. When I'm bored all I want to do is eat something.
Thank you Father.
Wow. Well said. Thanks for breaking it down for us. God bless you.
Thank you Father!!
Thank you father Mike
Thank you for this Father Mike
I am not a Catholic, but as a believer, I appreciate your videos, and your willingness to take a biblical stance on subjects that are not always “OK” to talk about these days. This is one of them that I personally struggle with, and it’s hard to find support to kick it when everyone is offended by the idea that obesity is not a healthy body type. Thank you for standing up and explaining not only the Word, but also the reason that it is beneficial to us.
I work from home, can decide my own hours, now live by myself, and due to Covid don't go out much. So for me the temptation is to eat too late at night + TV. I do not have a weight problem, but I am 'older' and eating too soon before bed often bothers my stomach. Listening to Father Mike, and realizing others also have this "WHEN" problem gives me a little strength. Father Michael videos help me think straight ! Thank you !
Even though I'm a born again Christian this makes a lot of sense
A born again Christian? If you joined the Roman Catholic Church the sky is the limit! The Vatican Bank washes money for the mob and the priests raped two hundred thousand children and covered it up. Being a protestant is dull dull dull. Being a Roman Catholic means your parish will lose it's church to sex lawsuits, which is really really exciting. Think about it - a life of dullness or a life of crime?
Thank you Father Mike for your video. I appreciate this when I need some inner strength. I am skipping one meal today to control the weight, I am too about food and I think today was a sign to stop overeating. I was a glutton-literally and now the weight has damaged my bones. I gained weight today so I am fasting, not a punishment IMO but to protect who I want to be. Able to move well. My bones are far too weak to withstand an extra ounce. I I accept I was too greedy but I wont destroy my health. I was around influences telling me to eat fattening unhealthy food. I tried to spend this day taking care of my body rather than harming it.
Excellent!!!!
God bless
Mrs.O
Words of Wisdom Fr. Mike - thank you :)
thank you so much,father!
I commited gluttony today and yesterday. It messed me up and now I understand what I did and am feeling better now, thanks 😁✝️
