It blows my mind how powerful this homily is. For the past six weeks i've been struggling is with the fact of being between protestant and catholic churches. I thought by learning everything from different churches that we could bring our is spiritual family together. So I started seriously studying the bible and the catechism with college level notes. In doing that I realized that I wasn't showing my true face to God. Then I understood why my ideas were actually Gnosticism and how catholicism is the only way and the one true church. And now my life and the bible is opening up in ways I never thought possible. I give my life completely to the catholic faith now. And i'm ready to wrestle with God like jacob did. I'm so blessed that god would have so much mercy and grace for me even though I have no reason to deserve it. I am unworthy and he still uses a welp like me.
May God continue to bless you on your journey. Although most faith traditions have some elements of truth, there is only one that has everything. That's the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus, Himself. He is still with us today in the Holy Eucharist. If we're truly looking for the truth, we'll find it in the Catholic Church.
Am so happy to hear that from you dear, you know it gives me joy 🤩 that am able to put a smile 😃 on the faces of people and heart. May the Good lord continue to bless you and keep you and your family in Good health always, where are you watching from?
I’m so blown away right now on a random Thursday in my student union. Remained that God can meet you anywhere just as you are. His reference to literature reminded me of Plato’s cave. The difference between Plato’s Cave (BC) and Christ (AD) is that now, instead of chasing the light out of the cave, the light (Christ) comes to YOU inside the cave and unchains you. and for the sake of that light’s magnificence, it leads you out of the cave and into a reality too bright for our flesh to bear: eternal life with Him.
What a strong homily!!! Once More!!! No words I have to thank enough our Lord for using Father Michael to pass on to us SO MUCH TO MEDITATE AND REFLECT ABOUT! GOD LOOK AFTER YOU ALWAYS !!!
No way...I picked up Till We Have Faces recently. Right before clicking this video I was feeling overwhelmed; I am a new revert and have been feeling a fear of "what if God isn't real." I prayed "I believe help my unbelief" and then put this video on as background noise. Our Lord is so Good and meets us where we are. Thank you, Fr.
Fr. Mike's homily on the Third Sunday of Advent is truly enlightening! The concept of ‘Face to Face’ reminds us of the intimate relationship we are called to have with Christ. Thank you for this powerful message. 🙏
"Just start." I just ended terms with my on and off LDR situationship a few hours ago. After I sent him a long message saying my apologies for my shortcomings and offering him to reconcile if we will put God in the center of our relationship, he replied that we should not make things harder and just move on. I was so sad that I am the only one who wanted to reconcile so I went to RUclips and found Fr. Mike's homily for Gaudete Sunday. While watching, I realize that the narrative I'm telling myself, him, and God is that I'm deeply sorry for being human and wanting to be loved, but God's narrative may be that I should just show up during these difficult times of longing and he will fill me with His love. Lord Jesus Christ, heal both of us and others who are going through tough times. May we be reminded that one day we will see you face to face.
I've been through similar situations, and it's tough. I'm sorry you're going through that, but God answers our prayers if we make Him the Lord of our lives as you have. He removed someone that you weren't meant to marry. No offense intended I know it's still very fresh and tender, but God will provide a lamb for Abraham, and so God will provide you with a spouse on His terms. God be with you, wait on the Lord. Stay strong.
For the most part of the year, I have listened to fr Mike's sermon and It really has impacted my journey as a catholic. I am grateful for all your teachings fr Mike. I pray that God will continue to bless you and all other priests, especially my elder brother rev fr Emmanuel Ezulofor with his wisdom and more understanding of his words Amen. Merry Christmas to you all ❤
Father Mike, you are an inspiration. Your homilies fill me with hope, love and humility. By listening to you, I hope I can show my face to the Lord and that he is happy with what he sees. Happy Birthday!
Thank you Father Mike. You are such a gift to all of us. Thank you for answering God's call to be a priest. We are all blessed for it. !!!!Happy birthday!!!! ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday Fr.Mike. Thank you for teach me to be honest to God and to learn from HIM what true love is and how we should share God's love and blesses to others. May's your love to God's and Mother Mary always be protected and save lots of lost souls.
When praying to God every day, I try to speak honestly from the heart. However, there are days when my words are not completely honest because I am not ready. I am grateful for your message today. Thank you, Father Mike.
Fr Mike! God bless you. We are desperate need of more Priests like you. Please continue to preach raw truth. We need it so bad. Know how much you are loved and appreciated.
This is definitely a great homily Father Mike, on so many levels. I'll be thinking of this in the coming days and peeling the layers like an onion, delving into it deeper, and will likely watch it again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Holy Spirit is working through you, to open our eyes
Happybelated birthday wishes Fr. Mike. May the Good Lord who called you ontinue blessing you with a the spiritual blessings so that you continue serving him. 🙏
A Wonderful Life is an amazing movie and has really changed my life! It really makes you TRULY look at your life and count your blessing and see how truly blessed you are!
Happy Birthday, Father Mike! Thank you for your truly inspiring homilies. I look forward to them every Sunday. Even when I attend Mass elsewhere, I always come back to listen to your homilies. I deeply appreciate the effort and heart you pour into preparing them for us each week. I’m also really enjoying, ‘Face to Face’, on the app. You have a way of making us see things in a completely new light, awakening our awareness. Your words never fail to nudge my conscience or bring back truths I once knew and felt but had forgotten. Please know that I’m keeping you in my prayers. God bless you! ✨🩵✨🙏🏻✨🎁🍰🎉
Am so happy to hear that from you dear, you know it gives me joy 🤩 that am able to put a smile 😃 on the faces of people and heart. May the Good lord continue to bless you and keep you and your family in Good health always, where are you watching from?
Happy birthday Fr Mike! Thank you for using your God given talents for the betterment of all us who wish to live more like Christ. You’re a wonderful & amazing human being. God bless you always. 🙏🏼
Oh gosh, that sure gets me thinking. This will be in my heart, and I will ponder what is in the center of my soul. "Standing before God as I am NOT as I think I am. " Thank you!
Through your homily today, the Lord spoke to my heart. He knew that all you said, was everything I needed to hear. Thank you, Fr Mike for being an instrument for the Lord to do so much good in the lives of many.
Amén! Your homily describes exactly how I've been feeling sometimes. I want to be truthful to my Heavenly Father, but I'm afraid I'm not even close. Today's readings have the key, so I can start being a better child of God. I should REJOICE as GOD ❤ me with all my imperfections (even the ones I don't want to acknowledge or aware of them), but I must also be the face of Christ for others by doing my job the righteous way.
For the first time ever the prodigal son story is explained to a quite godly sense. I always see injustice toward the good son 🥹🥹🥹, now I see God’s love ❤🔥Love you Father Mike! 💗 Il y a Dieu en toi!👌🏿
Am so happy to hear that from you Sweet mother, you know it gives me joy 🤩 that am able to put a smile 😃 on the faces of people and heart. May the Good lord continue to bless you and keep you and your family in Good health always, where are you watching from?
I have the opposite problem. It angers me that people don’t know me or try to. But Americans don’t know how to know each other. So I’m trying to know others and hopefully they learn how to do it as Christ teaches me how to know them.
Great homily Father Mike, going to Mass is the best thing I have done today, when one is alone after Mass, later in the gloom of our day I can tune you in on you tube, listen to your message of Hope and pray for Joy, Thank you , many of our great Priests on You Tube, i pray for all Priests,with gratefulness. Peace and Love…to you Father Mike

That was powerful and profound. I'm honest with the Lord and He knows all about it, but keeps me waiting for reasons only He understands. I trust Him and His timing, but that doesn't mean certain things don't still hurt. Don't know what I'd do without Jesus, except cease to exist or breathe. 'Till We Have Faces' is one of the few C.S. Lewis books I haven't read yet. I feel like I don't even need to read it now after how well you told the story and pulled out the nuances and most important aspects.
Fr Mike, what a powerful homily. It is so thought-provoking. We are so fortunate to have you and to be able to listen to your words, which ( I believe) are Holy Spirit inspired. May God continue to bless you. Thank you so much for your wisdom. And a very happy birthday to you.
Praise to you Lord Jesus ❤I also loved what you said about te older son in the parable of the prodigal son which I realized last week as I read,he valued his friends more than his father
Not even maybe less pride involved, or more service to help those who want to celebrate advent too, but infirmity won’t allow? When I hear how satisfied you are, I realize I am thankful to be wishing I’d done more at every chance.
I highly recommend everyone to read book Your Life Your Game by Keezano. I’ve read it, and it truly changed my life. It beautifully shows how connecting with God and your inner self can lead to spiritual growth and financial success. A must-read. God bless, Amen🙏💟

I’m getting to live this adventure in real life. It’s depressing to find out how much my pain from surgery is making me want to just be comfortable when it might be my last Christmas.
So good! As always, thank you for such a great Homily, Fr. Mike. I so look forward to hearing these each Sunday. Finished BIY last December, finishing CIY on 12/31. Planning on continuing next year with another round. May God bless and keep you and yours. Enjoy the rest of Advent and a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

My mother and grandmother both passed away in 2023 one in March and the other in April. So, waking up dead at first appears great to see them again but knowing that I'm not worthied to see the light is curious to see what his reaction would be what he created has changed so much lol
I so enjoy ur homilies :) however, this one left me puzzled. I need to relisten to same🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. Rosemarie Your Rose colored vestment is different this year! Ty for the Gift of Your Priesthood in Christ Jesus ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉. Rosemarie 😊
Wow l loved it so much l posted it on my fb pg to share! Your homilies are all amazing. This one can be universal to whatever walk of life, faith, journey one is at. As you stated prior “love one where they are at” this ties in to this homily. Be honest with yourself and as you say “just start”. Priceless ❤

This may be where faith starts. The narrative I was telling myself, him, and God is that I'm sorry for being human and wanting to be loved, but God's narrative may be that I should show up in these times of difficulties of longing so I can see His love.

We shouldn’t want anything but peace, love and our Heavenly Father in our lives
Happiest Birthday Father God Bless you in Abundance.
If I could send one message to everyone I know, that they would truly hear.... it would be this one. This rattled me in the best of ways.
That was powerful and profound. I'm honest with the Lord and He knows all about it, but keeps me waiting for reasons only He understands. I trust Him and His timing, but that doesn't mean certain things don't still hurt. Don't know what I'd do without Jesus, except cease to exist or breathe.
'Till We Have Faces' is one of the few C.S. Lewis books I haven't read yet. I feel like I don't even need to read it now after how well you told the story and pulled out the nuances and most important aspects.
Thanks for your unconditional love and support. I really appreciate. May God bless you and always have faith in God, how often do you read your Bible?
Magnificent!
Thank you, Father. God bless!
Happy. Birthday! So grateful to the Lord for you, your family, your students and your ministry.
This is a amazing. So raw.
Fr Mike, what a powerful homily. It is so thought-provoking. We are so fortunate to have you and to be able to listen to your words, which ( I believe) are Holy Spirit inspired. May God continue to bless you. Thank you so much for your wisdom. And a very happy birthday to you.
FR MIKE HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
Recollecting thoughts for prayer unity. A desire to be with the love of God. Alleluia.
Now you have me thinking about my story...thank you Fr Mike.
Praise to you Lord Jesus ❤I also loved what you said about te older son in the parable of the prodigal son which I realized last week as I read,he valued his friends more than his father
I would love to wake up in the Presence of God in 2024. Also, if I knew I was going, I would not do Advent any differently.
Not even maybe less pride involved, or more service to help those who want to celebrate advent too, but infirmity won’t allow? When I hear how satisfied you are, I realize I am thankful to be wishing I’d done more at every chance.
I highly recommend everyone to read book Your Life Your Game by Keezano. I’ve read it, and it truly changed my life. It beautifully shows how connecting with God and your inner self can lead to spiritual growth and financial success. A must-read. God bless, Amen🙏💟

We have to stand before God with the true story."

Awesome homily
As you’ve been talking about this topic recently, “Till we have faces” kept coming to mind. I need to reread this book!
6:04 and thank my god for that - as a 30YO I’m crazy but no way on earth a 7 YO me in a perfect life “imagined” my contact with him
My mother and grandmother both passed away in 2023 one in March and the other in April. So, waking up dead at first appears great to see them again but knowing that I'm not worthied to see the light is curious to see what his reaction would be what he created has changed so much lol
I so enjoy ur homilies :) however, this one left me puzzled. I need to relisten to same🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. Rosemarie
Your Rose colored vestment is different this year! Ty for the Gift of Your Priesthood in Christ Jesus ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉. Rosemarie 😊
Wow l loved it so much l posted it on my fb pg to share! Your homilies are all amazing. This one can be universal to whatever walk of life, faith, journey one is at. As you stated prior “love one where they are at” this ties in to this homily. Be honest with yourself and as you say “just start”. Priceless ❤
"Just start." I just ended terms with my on and off LDR situationship a few hours ago. After I sent him a long message apologizing for my shortcomings and offered him to reconcile if we will put God first in our relationship, he replied that we should not make things harder and just move on. After watching Fr. Mike's homily, I realize his reply was synonymous to "just start" or something like "let's do the bare minimum to move on from something that is not working anymore." This may be where faith starts. The narrative I was telling myself, him, and God is that I'm sorry for being human and wanting to be loved, but God's narrative may be that I should show up in these times of difficulties of longing so I can see His love. Lord Jesus Christ, heal both of us and others who are going through tough times. May we be reminded of being in Face to Face with you one day.
Amen!
Amen

Rejoice and Again I say Rejoice.
Well this is the best place for him he ran to the table first.
