In the name of Jesus I renounce the spirit of loneliness. In the name of Jesus I renounce the spirit of suffering and pain. In the name of Jesus I renounce the lie that I am unloved and unwamted. In the name of Jesus I claim the truth that I am wanted. That I am chosen. That I am loved.
I try to pray for our priests in particular our community priest before mass asking God to utilize them to speak to us and give us the ears to listen so those words can reach our heart and we can carry them with us and put them to work to give Glory to God 💕🙏 I used to feel the same and when I started doing this everything seemed much clear 🫶
Some priests have the gift of public speaking while others are great organizations etc. I've known priests who gave wonderful homilies but struggled with one to one with a parishioner. For me their greatest gift is saying Mass.
knowing that if we are repentant and listened to the word of God and personally taken seriously every word and prayer we hear and respond to and we know we are about to receiveJesus Body and Blood in The Eucharist should keep us wide awake. If you get a chance read Edward Sri’s book -A Biblical Walk Through The Mass. It is very helpful. 🙏❤️
I am not Catholic but I am a Christ-follower and I just want to say how much this message from Father Mike spoke to my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I discovered his Bible Reading Thru the Year on Spotify which has been such a blessing to me. I have recently begun listening to some of his messages such as this one. I so appreciate his heart of integrity and faithfulness to share the redemptive love of our Saviour. I can so relate to this message as I was one who strayed and doubted the love of my earthly father as well as my Heavenly Father. God, in His great love and mercy, gave me the gift of experiencing not only His love, grace and forgiveness but also of receiving the gift of love verbalized by my earthly father the evening before the day he went to be with Jesus in Paradise. Love and forgiveness are the greatest gifts bestowed upon us. May I give these gifts as they have been given to me. 🙏🏼❤️
I think the Mass Explained is one of his best talks. I use it for teaching, but I could see a non Catholic use this to understand why we believe in Christ and his sacrifice in the way we do. Type in Mass Explained Seek, and it should show up.
Fr. Mike's witness talk about the prodigal son is key for all the exploited children who leave home or have family issues. Youth need to know we care. But more importantly that they have rights . They can and should be protected. Please lord protect children that are abused. Give them courage to stand up for themselves. Amen.
Fr. Mike, people with disability are capable of contributing to our world. They do not bring money but they teach us how to love, be silent, compassionate, and accept who we are as humans as ( limited) instead of being obsessed with being superficial and invulnerable. In my view they are prophets and they contribute conversions and transformations of ordinary people, particularly Christians. Finally they are image of God as each of us.
I need to be healed, and I need my daughters to know that I love them no matter what. Please pray for me and for my daughters. Pray that God heals us enough to reunite in heaven and , if it is God's will, that we reunite on earth. Please Lord, give me back my daughters.
I will pray for you. Please pray for me. My now 30 yr old daughter and her husband disowned me, her mother, and her father. Refuses to allow us to have a relationship with them or our precious Granddaughter. Sounds like over politics, faith, disagreements over Covid, etc. Awful. Very painful. Heartbreaking.
I'm just a silly Protestant. I love this man. And what a message for the Christian who looks side-eyed at the celebrity or the undesirable politician or even person in our own town who turns to faith after a life of horribleness. We should receive and welcome quickly, enthusiastically, and lovingly.
No denomination is Silly when following Christ! Even disciples had their different ways of trying to follow and honor him and they were all the same for Jesus, he loves us all. We are all brothers in Christ
Praying for you Fr.Mike! Never seen you cry for the “ Prodigal Son.” It relates so much to me 😔 God never leaves me he always waits for us! And you’re the holy reason why I am embracing joy in the gospels and never giving up on myself. I lost my great uncle, friend who helped me with deep depression and a friend who I hope and pray does not ghost me because we haven’t talked in 3 years! ❤️🩹 Praying for all of Focus Catholic Group!
I am so unworthy I’ve hurt ones I love I live with regret everyday,I’m truly sorry,I feel God has forgiven me to go and sin no more, i need forgiveness from the ones I’ve hurt so deeply, ….Thank you Father Mike great homily…..
Fr. Mike this session was for me ....I was much in behavior like the elder son.....though I knew it was wrong....I was hurt just like him. Todays talk showed me.....I was resentful and really needed to be held. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for talking to me through your beloved priest.
I had to come back here and write. I can't imagine the miraculous atmosphere that filled the space there but it's probably the most that anyone reached out into cyberspace(real time)as you did here, Fr. Mike. The emotion (like in a one man play) was real. Not put on. The highlight at the end with the renunciation prayer, of the things we take on from the bad spirit, and putting a bit of humor in it, as though it was for yourself. Very humble. I will be able to use this in the future when I need it again. Thank you!!! What an amazing mission you were given. You have been truly blessed!🙏Pray for me! I pray for all priests.💗
The Holy Spirit is strong with you Fr. Mike. Please continue to pray, unceasingly. Satan will try to come and strike you hard. Pray unceasingly. Our current state of affairs in this world proves you need to exist in it, today. Bless you and every Holy Mass you witness to.
Listening to Fr. Mike, the Sisters of Life, and others on this channel, fill me with gratitude as they joyfully point out how much Christ loves us. God bless you all.🙏🏼✝️❤️
Father Mike, you always explain things so that it has immediate purpose and understanding! I am so blessed to be able to listen you, thank you and God bless YOU ❤️
This message shook me to the core. It was as if i was meant to hear this, at a time when my mind was flooded with anxious and negative thoughts. Fr Mike's words hit my heart like bullets. I renounced everything that was holding me back from taking the one step to follow Christ. Having heard this sermon I now look at Jesus as a loving Father, to a prodigal child like me. Many thanks to FOCUS for sharing this video. It has become my heart's desire to attend SEEK one day.
Father Mike; I just lost my last brother. He was the last of three brothers!! I am alone with just one sister left. I am blessed with good health and I hope and pray thatIam on the right path to praise and glorify the Lord in all my actions!! I thank you for your wisdom and commuication for the Lord here on earth!! I am trying to be a good and faithful servant to the Lord while I am still alive!! Please pray for me and my family!! I will pray for you and your service and sacrifice tothe Lord our God!!!
We dont deserve to be Gods children. God in your mercy help me to accept your love and continue to go forward with life. Forgive my child like faith . Give me the eyes to see with an adult heart like your own. Help me let go of the pain . Help me hold fast to the plan you have for my life. In the name of Jesus I renounce the lies of the enemy that im unloved, and claim the truth that God is my Father. Amen
Father Mike schmitz, I am the youngest of nine children. I've been raised by two wonderful parents who taught me the Catholic faith. I am now a mother of 10 children. But unfortunately I've been in physical and abusive married relationship and I am now still married but separated. I raised the children on my own. There are seven that are now adults with children of their own. I was blessed so blessed with my children I was lucky enough to get a set of twin boys . I listen to you each and every one of your talks each and every one of your masses. You are an amazing place. You have many gifts I can fill them. You definitely have spiritual wisdom. I talked to God continuously , I asked him to always be with me with everything I do of course I have many questions but one of the very important questions that I have and I was hoping you could help me. How does a person forgive while the person is being abused I forgive I do but then I I get so confused on how to forgive while I'm being abused mentally.
❤❤❤I would, and did, seek counseling. I ask the Holy Family for guidance 24/7. I have made friends with several priests who are helpful. I also have an experienced professional counselor whom I trust and is very helpful. The more support you have in your corner the better you will feel about yourself. ❤ Prayers for your intentions ❤❤❤
Thank you Father Mike Schmitz for this beautiful teaching of our lord Jesus Christ. My father passed away long time ago, I was still very small he told this story to his children, my father read a Bible and he shared to us , we are all Catholic. This reminded me when I heard you now Father Mike . We his children not perfect also , but Our lord Jesus Christ his love is still with us all , even up to today , our God is so Merciful , kind , caring generous all the time . Love you Father Jesus and my trust is with you alone and alone .❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Father Mike, you are SUCH a good person and phenomenal Priest. I never get tired of your talks. God bless you in answering the call to the Priesthood. I pray for you daily and I pray for more good men like you to answer the call. 🙏🏻✝️:
I will come to you in the silence. I will lift you up from all your fears. You will hear My voice, I claim you as My choice. Be still and know that I am here. ❤
Thank you Father Mike I always wanted to be held by my father my parents divorced while my mother was Pregnant my father wanted to be free to do what ever I felt all my life rejection and resentment from my mother that I was his child She didn’t say it but once when I was grown that she wished she had given me away At 77 I want healed Thank you for this message you gave Finally I’m healed from the pain I’ve carried for so long
I am truly thankful for this message. I am Christian what father Mike said about the one who stayed home and resented it is definitely me. I was just at the point where I honestly couldn’t figure out why and how I could be a believer anymore there’s just so much hurt. This message really helped. I will pray for the being held as I am . The whole message was wonderful.
If only I could feel loved. In my life at 74 I long for love that I never had in this world and for the sadness and loneliness to go away. They’re all intertwined 😢
"The Prodigal Son" is one of my favourite parables since young. I used to read it again and again when I was a kid and even memorised it whenever I felt a sense of unfairness in life. I would pondered and prayed. Now I'm 52 years old, I still love this parable. I still read it whenever I feel I had been treated unfairly. Armed with much more experience in life, I empathise with the elder son instead. Prayers can change many things, circumstances and situations but faith is the most important thing that we must continually pray for one another. Let us offer words of encouragement and kindness whenever we can.
What a talk!!! God bless you Fr. Mike Schmitz now and forever. I’ll be using this talk many many times for so many that are far from Jesus and desperately need His embrace. I’ll listen to it often to remind myself that it is only with Him and through Him that we can find true LOVE and HAPPINESS. THAN YOU SO MUCH 😘😘😘
Thank you Fr. Mike. Your preachings are so so so powerful and it shows your deep connection n bond with God. Praying that you continue to be blessed as a shepherd of the Lord and gather us back into the fold. God bless you always ❤
I thought the exact same thing! I have w daughter with a disability and that is also my current goal in life, make as much money as I can, and ensure she is cared for! She may not contribute what is considered by society as valuable, but her disability and her face, has changed my life. It’s brought me to my knees and because of her, and HIS mercy and grace, I am saved.
Like so many others, I so appreciate you and needed to hear this talk. We have taken different paths but you speak to what I need now at 80 years old. Thank you so much!.
Thank you Lord for loving me. My shortcomings are many yet your love for me is everlasting. Thanks Father Mike your teaching open my spiritual eyes ❤ .
I love this sermon, I cried. I feel as though I am the so who didn’t disobey. Yeah sometimes I do feel like I’m mad for not “enjoying” youth, but then I think of all my hidden blessings I’ve had in life. All the times I’ve been protected from car accidents, potential human threats, situations I avoided where I could be hurt and it literally stops me in my tracks and I thank God He always protected me. Not once in my life have I not obtained an answer to a prayer, sometimes the answer is No, but like a NOOOO. Sometimes my prayer is delayed but it’s always answered. Only then do I realize that there is an abundance of protection and love from Him always above, around and for me. That’s when I’m the most thankful, it’s also humbling. I don’t think I deserve his constant gaze because I’m not perfect. There’s a quote I heard from my favorite rapper to his daughter. “I’m not perfect but I’m trying to love you perfectly” that’s my motto to life to anyone who becomes important to me. God is perfect Jesus who is perfect gave himself for us, in my imperfection I will learn to love the best way I can.
SUCH a good video indeed as they all are. I kept thinking of your family since and how worried you must be that you may have heart issues as it is usually inherited. Magnesium deficiency is the most common cause of heart problems which no one was aware of for years. The most efficient way to take magnesium is to take 1/4 tsp of Magnesium Sulphate or ‘food grade epsom salt’ daily. You can take magnesium tablets but epsom salt is the most efficient and can’t hurt you. AND I am concerned for you Fr. Mike and would not want to lose you
I have been following Father Mike for 2 years now. His homilies are the best I have ever heard. Everytime I hear him speak he just gets better and better. I am convinced he is one of God's appointed apostles sent to us to better understand, listen to His word and convert people to the Catholic Religion. Awesome speech Father Mike. I wouldn't expect anything else. They are all beautiful. You are the greatest.

If our priests talked like this, about things we need to hear - I would be ALL EARS instead of fighting to stay awake. God bless you, Father Mike!

"Mercy is the love that we need the most, but we deserve the least. "
Fr Mike, you a truly a gift to the Catholic faith. Thank you for all you continue to do.
He s a gift to all. He teaches God s love and grace and mercy.

I worked with beautiful disabled men and women for years. How I was blessed?!!
I believe Father's point was that this girl could never do for herself so her dad felt he needed to make sure she was taken care of.
The parable of the prodigal son brought me home to God.
"Because Jesus has died for me so now I can live for him. "
Praying for people who Are Lonely.may God Have Mercy ON Them
I need to be healed, and I need my daughters to know that I love them no matter what. Please pray for me and for my daughters. Pray that God heals us enough to reunite in heaven and , if it is God's will, that we reunite on earth. Please Lord, give me back my daughters.

Thank you Fr. Mike. Your preachings are so so so powerful and it shows your deep connection n bond with God. Praying that you continue to be blessed as a shepherd of the Lord and gather us back into the fold. God bless you always ❤
I thought the exact same thing! I have w daughter with a disability and that is also my current goal in life, make as much money as I can, and ensure she is cared for!
She may not contribute what is considered by society as valuable, but her disability and her face, has changed my life. It’s brought me to my knees and because of her, and HIS mercy and grace, I am saved.

Thank you Fr. Mike. This hit home and hit me hard as one with father wounds.
I love this sermon, I cried. I feel as though I am the so who didn’t disobey. Yeah sometimes I do feel like I’m mad for not “enjoying” youth, but then I think of all my hidden blessings I’ve had in life. All the times I’ve been protected from car accidents, potential human threats, situations I avoided where I could be hurt and it literally stops me in my tracks and I thank God He always protected me.
Not once in my life have I not obtained an answer to a prayer, sometimes the answer is No, but like a NOOOO. Sometimes my prayer is delayed but it’s always answered. Only then do I realize that there is an abundance of protection and love from Him always above, around and for me.
That’s when I’m the most thankful, it’s also humbling. I don’t think I deserve his constant gaze because I’m not perfect.
There’s a quote I heard from my favorite rapper to his daughter. “I’m not perfect but I’m trying to love you perfectly” that’s my motto to life to anyone who becomes important to me. God is perfect Jesus who is perfect gave himself for us, in my imperfection I will learn to love the best way I can.
So good so powerful! Thank you for the prayers father 🙏
AMEN
Listen to you for the the first time fr.
Father Mike, it’s a blessing to hear you preach.. your words touch our hearts and transmit love.. thank you and may God bless you. 🙏🏼
My new favorite priest thank you Father Mike!
i wish i could double like this video
SUCH a good video indeed as they all are. I kept thinking of your family since and how worried you must be that you may have heart issues as it is usually inherited. Magnesium deficiency is the most common cause of heart problems which no one was aware of for years. The most efficient way to take magnesium is to take 1/4 tsp of Magnesium Sulphate or ‘food grade epsom salt’ daily. You can take magnesium tablets but epsom salt is the most efficient and can’t hurt you. AND I am concerned for you Fr. Mike and would not want to lose you
My grandma had scarlet fever she died from a hole in her heart. Father Schmidt you are an awesome person and priest prayers for you and your family
I have been following Father Mike for 2 years now. His homilies are the best I have ever heard. Everytime I hear him speak he just gets better and better. I am convinced he is one of God's appointed apostles sent to us to better understand, listen to His word and convert people to the Catholic Religion. Awesome speech Father Mike. I wouldn't expect anything else. They are all beautiful. You are the greatest.
In the name of Jesus, I claim the spirit of self-control.
This parable brought me to God.
Our kids were there in St Louis. So glad to share this now.
Thank you Father for answering God's call.
Blessings. Your sermons fill me with Holy Spirit. Amen
