    I really think Fr Mike is Flash, he was just here couple of hours ago in Palm Beach to do a talk rallying up the men. And now first thing in the morning, we see him dropping a homily for the world to see. God Bless you Fr Mike!

      He got his own pvt jet now ? Fr mike is great I was excited to see his articles in the mass supplement im subscribed to "The Word Among Us"
      Fr Mike tackles such topics that the protestants would just rather run like hell

    In the hospital right now with my 18 month old, Anna Sophia, for a blood infection. My husband and l were supposed to go to confession yesterday, then she became sick again. Please pray for my daughter and for this spiritual warfare to cease so we can receive the sacraments. Every time my husband and I have tried mass it seems that something with either work, health, or the children comes up. We just want Jesus and health please lord..

      @spinstercatlady we're maybe an hour out from our usual church, the closest one to us only sends Eucharistic ministers. We've been able to receive the host from them before during our daughter's birth and last hospital visit, but the only difference now is we haven't been to reconciliation.

    I got to hear this at the Catholic men’s conference in Palm beach Florida.
    Life changing.
    The men’s Catholic rally with father Mike Schmitz had me in tears of joy more than a few times. Hearing 1300 men of faith belt out Ave Maria in baritone sent chills up my spine
    Father Mike threw some serious heat regarding the diminishing role of men and what the lord wants our role to be. Authority and responsibility. Competence and respect. In regards to AA my job is to stay sober and to show the young guy how to do that mid to last leg of the race called life. We are not here to be mediocre. Imagine how lucky we are that our God could not imagine this universe without us in it and so we are here. David had no idea when he was a shepherd and slaying lions and pulling prey out of bears mouths that he was training to save Israel and slay Goliath. But God did. Amen

    I watch Fr. Mike's homily's nearly every Sunday, and today's homily has had the greatest impact on me of all of them. I have always believed that God loves me the way I am, but even I do not always love me the way I am. Fr. Mike's addition to "God loves me" of "and he loves me too much to let me stay that way" opened my eyes to the fact that God is always working to change my sinful ways and to show me His mercy. May God Bless Fr. Mike.

    I am a cradle Catholic and my last 14 years before retitirement in a P/T in my church in an administrative position and as I listened to Fr Mike and I have to admit that I do not "believe" that God loves me as I am. The last few years in the church were difficult and continue to be, and I have considered that I need work. But .... But... after listening, I haave to accept that I have to pray as someone already loved. That seems far too hard.

    Then, this helps us also to respect the inherent value of others, even those who are against us. God bless.

    Yes, I looked up the five second rule before. It is a bummer the 5-second rule is total BS. Now if I'm eating a Dove or Magnum bar. I put it in a bowl. We can't imagine the depths of God's love! Thank you, Fr. Mike, for this homily. Here on earth, we have so many people whose love is conditional or transactional. It's hard to believe he has conquered us. That truth has finally sunk in to me. I am so grateful to still be here after cancer. Amen!

    God help me and give me strenght. Im currently returning to work after a 7 months parental leave to take care of my now 11 old son. Just before starting to go back to work (which i dreaded and makes me so sad/anxious/emotional), we returned from a wonderful 7 days vacation to clear my head before the huge challenge that is to go back to work for me….on our arrival our 7 year old cat suddenly died of a heart attack (it was the most traumatic incident ive seen in my life, i cant stop thinking about it). This huge curveball really smashed the little strenght motivation i had to push through and force myself to go back to work. I am currently pushing through this first day of work and it is so hard. I hope i gets easier, i feel so weak.

    Very good Father, Gods love is the most important thing for us to know. I've seen people reject God either because He didn't prevent something bad from happening or He doesn't love me because I'm so terrible He wouldn't even look at me. Both of these are tragic, and speaking about Gods love is the best way to shepherd people to Jesus. Thank you.💖

    Jesus said “my sheep hear my voice” (John 10:27):
    To those who have received God’s Holy Spirit, the porter is open to them and they will follow Jesus’ every word-word for word (John 10:3). But the voice of a stranger they will _not_ follow; instead they will flee from these false prophets because the words they speak are not of God but are of the devil and his servants (John 10:5). We are to flee away from anyone who teaches that “Jesus is God,” “God has a mother,” or “Jesus was never created,” etc. It is God’s word who says who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the SON of God? (1 John 5:5). Only they will overcome-Jesus is NOT God; only the Father is the one true God (John 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6).
