Father Mike, I felt so prepared for Advent this year due to your guidance in prayers. Last night when I went to Mass, after Communion as I was kneeling and praying, I found that tears were just rolling down my face. I realized that it didn’t matter that the guy in the row in front of me was aware of my tears. He let his wife know and both of them kept running around. I’m not sure if it was curiosity or concern. I was with my family so they weren’t sure what to do. The words that kept running through my mind were that “the Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ”. It brought such joy and fulfillment that is still hard to describe. During the night I woke up 4 separate time with those words either being spoken to me or coming out of my mouth. Today, I feel amazing. Just wanted you to know that you have reached another total stranger. Thank you.
I’m favored and blessed beyond limit, our God is indeed a covenant keeping God, 2024 brought my household a miracle of $30,000 every month, God has been more faithful to us Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and church
Even if you dont read this comment Fr Mike, I hope you know just how powerfully God speaks through you to those who listen to this channel. Your humility enables this to happen. I am so deeply grateful for your wonderful teaching every week. May God bless you richly in your continued ministry. 'Thank you' from a UK based member of the Church of England.
This is the truest thing ever. I had a near-death experience a few years ago, and the way that thanks and gratitude just spontaneously erupted from me … it was surprising, but also comforting. I have not feared death since that day, and my life has been full of gratefulness. Thank You Father Mike, and everyone who reads these words. It is an honor to share this life with all your beautiful souls.
Thank you Father Mike! Best and most difficult journey Face to Face. I sorted things i had been hiding. Praise be to God for your Priesthood! Thank you!
This is beautiful. This has been my first Advent season. Fr Mike has truly opened my eyes to seeing Jesus in every moment and growing in grace and perseverance. Fr Mike, God bless, you are truly doing God's work. I will pray for you and will end this in two words: Thank you.
I came to say Thank You to God for the sunrise. I will never run out of thanks to give to the Lord. Thank Lord for all the thanks I have to give to you.
I do not need any material things, I have found peace and joy through Jesus Christ, thank you Father Mike. Pursuing my journey of spending time with my Lord everyday.
I thank the Lord for gently drawing me back to Him in all the ways that have touched and opened my heart to His everlasting love. I thank the Lord for your ministry, Father Mike, for He has allowed me to seek Him more deeply through you and your great love for our Lord. May the Lord always grant you the strength to be the one who is unafraid to speak truth in this world that would deny our Lord. Merry Christmas and God bless you always ❤🎄✝️
Thank you Jesus Thanks to have Farher Mike with the Holy Spirit in him Hopefully he can influence in so many young people that are lost in this world !!!
Merry Christmas. Heavenly Father, direct me in my career, and finances. I have two children with special needs. Life is overwhelming for me, because I am a single parent and I’m constantly faced with financial difficulties. Lord I struggle to provide the basic necessities for my sons. I pray for your divine intervention in my life, please provide for my children’s needs and guide me towards financial stability.💕
I would yell: "hallelujah, my Dear Father!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you - like a child that has been longing for his REAL AND TRUE Father. I LOVE YOU!!!
I'm so sorry Lord. I could never thank you enough. For what you've done for me. I step out each day as your good servant. I let the Spirit guide my hands and words. I have shown two of my friends with whom I am close, to see how I've come to know and love you so. They've taken up your yoke Father. They've come to you because you called to them. I've seen your Love in their eyes Father. Thank you, God. Everything I know, have, and am is because of you. A child of God I forever will remain, please reign in my heart Father.
Tears rolled down my cheeks when you said "Thank you". When you opened the talk asking what I would say, those were the exact words that came to mind. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for touching my soul again and again. You are a blessing to this world, Father.
Merry Christmas Father Mike. I would say 5 Words to Our AWESOME GOD - same 5 words I say everyday: "Thank You. I Love You." GOD BLESS YOU and All your loved ones during this new year of Jubilee and Abundance! 🙏❤️ ✝️ 🌟🎄
Thank you Fr Mike and your team for so diligently making these messages available on RUclips. Thank you for offering those of us who were not exposed to the Catholic faith earlier in life, a chance to experience these beautiful expressions of the mass.
I need to practice being more grateful to God and to others in my life. Thank you for the reminder, Fr. Mike! God bless you Fr. Mike and wishing you have a Blessed and Joyous Christmas. ❤
That’s so amazing, at the beginning of this sermon, when I was encouraged to think about what would I want to tell the Lord when I meet Him, I thought i couldn’t say anything else but thank You! And then the sermon continues, and it’s all about how thankful we should be… I feel it’s so amazing that all I could think of is being thankful. Thankful for my very existence, for the fact that He loves me, even though I don’t feel like I deserve it, even though I’m sad because my life is far from being settled, even though I haven’t been loved as much as I wish I were. But thank You nevertheless, because life is beautiful and worthy of being lived, and the world and the universe is amazing, and our lives are full of joy.
Love this 💗 today and yesterday at mass I felt a compelling gratitude and love for our Lord savior after receiving the Eucharist. God has changed my life in the last few months and I’m eternally grateful ❤ I can’t wait to see what God has for me in the next few months 🙏🏼
very, very powerful Fr Mike, may God bless you. I am so thankful to God for giving me another chance at life, to renew my heart, to grow closer to him. I love Him!
Thank you Father Mike for such a heartfelt, inspiring homily. You are truly sent by the Father to minister to His people. May God bless you abundantly. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful beyond Fr Mike, in fact after receiving all we could say was Thank You Lord.. //////// /////////// Thank u too Fr Mike for leading right thru, Merry Christmas!! 🌲🌲❤💚🌲🌲
God I thank You for giving me the opportunity to test my faith in You. I know You will be at my side in these trials I am facing, which I find so hard to deal with. Bless me with the wisdom I need to handle myself with love & grace, because I was made by You & for You. Amen.
Father Mike, thanks be to God for the wonderful work that you do to help me (and all of us) not onlyy find our path but clear our pathways to God. Your series this Christmas season has enhanced me and when we started little did I know how perfectly timed it would be.... God's timing.... Thank You Father Mike for helping me to understand true thanks and gratefulness. Thank you for anwering God's call on your life to do good works for him. God Bless You.
Thank you, father for your sermon. It brought tears to my eyes as I have tied to teach my people to say just thank you thank you Lord for all you’ve done for us.
Merry Christmas! Thank you God for the gift of your son, Jesus. Your faith shines through in your homilies, Father Mike. Thank you for your emotion which shows me that, in this aspect, you are like me. Otherwise, you are a disciple sent to us by God to increase our faith. You are awesome!

One of the greatest gifts of God is tears during Communion. You should feel very blessed you were given this grace.
The gift of tears! The Holy Spirit was truly moving through you as you were encountering the depth of beauty that is the Eucharist 💛
@@rhwinner that is exactly how I felt. Thank you, I do feel blessed.

Oh really? Please Tell me more about this
This is what Melissa Jonas Richard does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 30k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Melissa Jonas Richard, and I have also had success...
Absolutely I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Melissa Jonas Richard.

I will erupt with joy. We have been holding out for the longest time. Now, our Vindicator is here.
Fr. Mike Schmitz and Bishop Barron can make a true believer in God out of everyone. Merry Christmas from Sweden. 💗
I couldn't agree more
