If you had told me a year ago that I would be looking forward this much to a homily every week like this I would have never believed it! I am so grateful for these Holy moments! 🙏🙏🙏
Dear Father Mike, I met Fr. Walter once he returned home. He gave us a retreat and I had my heart and all my attention on him and his words. After about the third day of retreat Fr. Walter said; "There is someone in this Chapel who is glued to my words and it's YOU (he pointed to me) and I want to have supper with you". That supper was one that I will never forget.. Thank you for using his book for this talks. Wonderful!
I want to accept God's will in the reality of situations. To follow Christ in my own family has been very painful. I am not sorry, because He is the way the truth and the life. It cost me my home, my job, my marriage, as my own spouse did not want a Catholic wife. Please pray for me to be given strength to accept the heart pains of sadness that sometimes desire to hold me hostage and tempt me to be discouraged. I believe God is faithful and full of compassion. He promises to never leave or forsake me and anyone who is reading this who may be suffering for their faith. I will pray for you!❤ May this Lenten homily remind all of us, that God's desire is for us not against us. Thank your Father Schmidt!😊
I do agree with you left my home honey over 20 years ago..lost family and friends..feel lonely at times .if it wasn't for my faith i wouldn't be here today..God bless you dear sister in Jesus christ ❤
When we want to do God's will, it is easier said than done because we Never know what lies ahead, and reality could be very raw. It robs us our joy, dignity at time, and there is plenty of sorrow, heartaches, pain, etc..., but in the midst of it all, we learn to see a different aspect of life, of humanity, and most of all, the true meaning of love. There is no greater sacrifice than to sacrifice with God, the One who is always sacrificing with us and keeping us company throughout the journey. Tears will flow, but we will be enlightened to realize that the life with God is always very enriching, and He will keep us entertained eternally.
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes so loved this-- all the way to the end❤😁❤😁❤😁❤😁❤😁❤😁❤💯💯TRUTH Reality really bites!! That last part-- i loved it very MUUUUUCH.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Thank u so veryyyyy much Fr.Mike for that consoling words!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️God bless u ✝️💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙
Because if we don't learn. to accept the reality of our situations as part. of God's will, we are going to be missing out on God. We are going to miss out on this life, this incredible, beauitful life that is beyond anything we ever expected or dreamed of.
And also, we turn into impatient narcissistic selfish jerks. Acceptance is too wise. So is knowing when it's out part to do the work to change our situation. Many want easy, lazy faith.
Amen. Yes to Christ Jesus ❣️ My Lord and my God. Thank you so much Fr. Mike and Sundays with Ascension. As always, I am praying for all of you. God Bless 🙏🏻
I am 65. I grew up one hour north of Shenandoah, PA where Father Mike states the Jesuit priest Walter Ciszek was from in the Diocese of Allentown. I attended Catholic elementary school and a Jesuit university in northeast PA. I also later lived in Allentown three years. It was not until today that I ever heard of Father Ciszek! To hear Father Mike say his book is second only to the Bible in how it influenced his own life Is so incredible. I am so grateful for today's sermon.
Oh Father your words resonate, in sickness, my guilt, everything changed……God opened my eyes like a lightening bolt it’s not about me….praying,praying my rosary, in this first week of Lent as been the start of a cleansing Thank you Father Mike and all the good Shepherds who are praying for us….
Hey y'all, for anybody who enjoys Catholic podcasts, we're a new podcast trying to get off the ground! If you like conversations relating to theology, philosophy, or prayer, give us a listen!
Thank you Father for the book suggestion and your words. Helping others, which we're called to do, can be very difficult. I had a long career in non profits helping vulnerable people. Many have the myth that it is always rewarding, and the truth is that its hard, and sometimes the more you try the worse it gets. If you help others you can't expect gratitude, you just do it because you're committed and not giving up the effort. You have to keep listening and trying to understand, there's no ivory tower from which perfect ways to help flow outward like they do from the Lord. The best approach is like the Lord's, see and love and care as much as you can, and don't rely on your own strength, but His instead.💖
“The Kingdom of God is at hand” ~now~in the reality of His Will for this day. Ask, Offer & Accept. Thanks, Fr Mike , blessing your ministry and faithful perseverance
"Jesus was constantly in touch with reality" ...YES. Our modern culture is totally out of touch with reality, and needs offer up INTERNET for Lent. "Smart" devices. This will be a huge step in returning to reality, in addition to working on the reality of one's wounds, and not just expect the Sacraments to do it all and no work required.
You are right. I used to “plan” what I’ll do for Lent or my spiritual life, but almost none succeeded. Now, I just tell God daily, “i’m your slave/servant, please let me do it your way” and I do feel so much better.
Fr Mike, you are a Blessing to so many. My faith has grown so much with you help. I have done the Bible in a year twice and this year catechism in a year. I listen to the different talks that you do. God Bless you❤
Wow..powerful! This is amazing. I just felt called to read this book years after a friend told me about it. Started it last night and it’s Fr’s Lenten series. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so very much Father Mike! I've said this so many times about you, and that is that God has blessed you so well because; in times when I am feeling in a dark and confusing place; somehow your homilies say something that literally yanks me out. Case in point; I am writing this from Lublin, Poland but I am soon to return to the US due to family circumstances; one being that a brother-in-law of mine is dying... my husband's brother... and as my husband is needed by his family; I am needed there by him. Yet there are so many details in Father Ciszek's book that fit me so incredibly well.... Fr. Ciszek, (pronounced more closely as Chishek btw), is EXACTLY what I need right now....I have been looking for my place in God's life for so long, but so many things feel like it is being blocked... like God is shouting at me but I am not hearing it... I am sure in my heart Father Ciszek's books will help...So again Father Mike; thank you so very much!
Wow! I am just astonished, what a beautiful message Father...we are blessed as Catholics, l needed this message, watching and crying from South Africa..
I have both books. I’ve read both books. I loved “With God in Russia.” I didn’t care for “He Leadeth Me.” I thought about re-reading “With God in Russia” this lent, but I heard that some people were going to read from “He Leadeth Me” during lent this year, so I thought I would give the book a second chance. I’ve read a bit from “He Leadeth Me” so far this lent, and it is weighing heavily on me, not in a good way. It has left me more fearful of the cross, more fearful of what God, in His love, will allow. I’m thinking of setting the book aside and not reading it this lent. Maybe I will pick up “With God in Russia.”
Needed this reality check to support me & supplement what help God's grace has provided to definitely combat disillusionment & discouragement at this season of my life. So providential to place this in Fr. Mike's heart! Thank you & thank you God.
This is a significant book in being able to accept the providence of God in our lives. Where ever we are is where God has lead us to and continues to lead us. If he can trust in God's providence in the horrendous circumstances he was faced with then so can we.❤
Thank you so much Fr. Mike for this sermon and all other you have done. I live in Poland and must admit I haven't heared neither of the mentioned polish priest nor his books. I am inspired to look for information. Your sermon is so powerful and the sentence at the end: "I can not know what I am saying to but with Jesus I know Who I am saying yes to" summarise the homily perfectly. God bless You.
“If I don’t actually learn how to recognize God’s will in the reality of my situation, I’m going to end up missing out on God” 21:16 So Powerful! God was in their midst, but He wasn’t what they expected, so they ended up missing Him and avoided Him. God is in the midst of us in the reality. “It’s not what I said yes, too. I did not say yes to these things!” We’re going to miss out on God’s will and in God. Put aside our expectations
Similar to what just happened to me. Rejected by all with whom I just traveled a long way to see to hopefully share my joy in God. I was crushed and came to tears but eventually accepted it and eventually found that same joy I initially wanted to share on my trip, but ended up finding it in prayerful solitude at a candlelit grotto at night in the rain. It was amazing grace and was God’s will apparently. Keep going everyone! Let God take the wheel.
Thanks father Mike. I needed to hear this but I’m not sure I understand it very well or maybe it’s just my usual go to reaction of what was so bad with what I wanted? Did I want bad things? I thought I wanted to do good so many times when I thought I was doing good I didn’t get any feedback or any kind of reaction to confirm that I did good. So I’d look for some other way to do good. Never hit the right thing. Of course there’s more than to what you said and it makes so much sense. I need to know how to incorporate it into my revised thinking, renewed mind. Definitely something to study. If anyone has an easy way to move the transcript of these sermons, and every thing on RUclips, into a word processing program or notepad or something without the timestamp on it - that really works - please let me know. Gracias
Im not a catholic but I am a Christian I down loaded the hallowed app around the start of lint and followed it through but father Mikes sermons are rockstar material bought the book they do have it on RUclips as an audiobook
"We get into a situation where it's not what we expected and we wanna run, or we wanna ignore it, or medicate it"... he says after me saying a thousand times today I wanna run away. Or maybe even just die for a day. So I don't have to deal with this frustrating reality. Boyyy Fr Mike always telling my life's story lol he never misses. God bless him. Can't wait to hear the remedy in the rest of the homily 😊
A friend from India once said to me, in wonde, "Americans think they have a right to be happy. Nowhere else in the world is that true." And ironically we are all poorer for it.

Hmm… my expectation was that I would never divorce and that I would raise a loving family with Gods help… reality is that my former spouse quit after 17 years, annulment granted and, because of divorce poison and parental alienation, I’m estranged from my 5 kids (4 girls, 1 boy ages 26-16)… faith, which God has given me, is the only way I can live with this reality…
Father Mike I know you do CrossFit. I made this one up for lent. Just wanted to share it with everyone 40 Minutes EMOM Minutes 1&2 - 1000 C2 Bike Minute 3 - 6 Sandbags Over Shoulder (100lbs) Minute 4 - 8 BBJO (24in) Minute 5 - 10 TTB - 40 days in lent - Bike for His journey - Sandbag for Him pick up his cross on His shoulder - BBJO for Him falling and getting up - Ttb Him hanging on the cross

May the Lord keeps guiding you (us) in your path to him.
@@eilianabeltran5223 thank you!!!
There is a time for everything in life. I am so glad for you.
Grew up just South of Allentown, Father Walter is a true superhero legend in Christ! Father Mike ain't bad either.
Dear Father Mike,
I met Fr. Walter once he returned home. He gave us a retreat and I had my heart and all my attention on him and his words. After about the third day of retreat Fr. Walter said; "There is someone in this Chapel who is glued to my words and it's YOU (he pointed to me) and I want to have supper with you". That supper was one that I will never forget.. Thank you for using his book for this talks. Wonderful!
Wow, that's so awesome! His life was almost unreal.

It cost me my home, my job, my marriage, as my own spouse did not want a Catholic wife.

I do agree with you left my home honey over 20 years ago..lost family and friends..feel lonely at times .if it wasn't for my faith i wouldn't be here today..God bless you dear sister in Jesus christ ❤
He wanted something artificial. His loss.
Every Catholic should hear this homily.
Thank you for this. I needed to hear this specially with my kids.
Quote : You may not know what you are saying yes to but you do know who you are saying yes to. ❤Thanks Father for that insight!
God bless you always Fr. Mike for how You bring the word of God to us. 🤗🙏🏾❤️
Thank you god bless father Mike ✝️🙏☺️🇨🇦

Amen. 🙏

Father Mike you've definitely found your calling. Now if only I could find mine...
4th Step: It is I who have made a mess of my life. I have done it and I cannot undo it (AA)
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏Amen❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
What he expected was not what he found. He asked. He offered. Eventually he accepted it as God’s will.

This brings to mind the song ‘Los Caminos de la Vida’ by Los Diablitos.

Father Mike is a great role model! Respect from Australia 💪
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. Kinda starting to anticipate the worst lately.
“The Kingdom of God is at hand” ~now~in the reality of His Will for this day. Ask, Offer & Accept. Thanks, Fr Mike , blessing your ministry and faithful perseverance
Thank you Jesus for always being there for me. ❤❤🙏🏾❤❤
🕯💞💖✨️🙏 Although I thoroughly enjoy every homily, I needed to heat this. So beautiful.
"Jesus was constantly in touch with reality" ...YES. Our modern culture is totally out of touch with reality, and needs offer up INTERNET for Lent. "Smart" devices.

WOW!!! Father Mike excellent homily, so impactful! Thank you so very much! Praying for you! God bless you always! 🥰🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️
Thanks!
THERE IS NO EXPECTATION , WE HAVE EVERYTHING. WHATEVER WE LOST WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE AND WHOEVER IS NOT AROUND WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
Thank you so much!
Yes, my expectations have never worked out the way I planned. God bless.
You are right. I used to “plan” what I’ll do for Lent or my spiritual life, but almost none succeeded. Now, I just tell God daily, “i’m your slave/servant, please let me do it your way” and I do feel so much better.
I’ve also heard expectations are premeditated resentments and expectations are preplanned disappointments.
Thank you Fr Mike
Fr Mike, you are a Blessing to so many. My faith has grown so much with you help. I have done the Bible in a year twice and this year catechism in a year. I listen to the different talks that you do. God Bless you❤
@pa_2600I am on my 4th time. God’s Word is always new:)
Thank you Father Mike!!! Absolutely one of the best homilies I have ever heard. And so true! Let's not miss Him!!!!🙏❤️🙏
I have joind Hallow with the 40 day lent challenge which uses the book.
And yes, you are right expections can lead to disappointment. Be careful
Thank you!
AMDG ♥️
Thank you, Father! For an excellent and meaningful homily. God bless you and your team
I needed this! Thank you, God bless you!
Thank you Fr Mike this totally resonates with my story I accept Life as a gift of Grace ☘️
Wow..powerful! This is amazing. I just felt called to read this book years after a friend told me about it. Started it last night and it’s Fr’s Lenten series. 🙏🏻❤️

This homily really applies to life and marriage. Thank you Father Mike.
Oh man!! This book Im reading on your recommendation and then Lent started and all the hallow challenge is on this book 😊❤ god bless you!!

this was much better than the previous few weeks have been
RCIA classes should show this.
CCD for children at younger ages too.
"Thank you"❤❤❤ ❤f❤❤❤❤❤
Father Mike is supposed to be doing a series on 'He Leadeth Me'. Where is it?
Por favor, alguém escreva um livro com as homilias de padre Mike
Thanks father Mike. I needed to hear this but I’m not sure I understand it very well or maybe it’s just my usual go to reaction of what was so bad with what I wanted? Did I want bad things? I thought I wanted to do good so many times when I thought I was doing good I didn’t get any feedback or any kind of reaction to confirm that I did good. So I’d look for some other way to do good. Never hit the right thing. Of course there’s more than to what you said and it makes so much sense. I need to know how to incorporate it into my revised thinking, renewed mind. Definitely something to study.
If anyone has an easy way to move the transcript of these sermons, and every thing on RUclips, into a word processing program or notepad or something without the timestamp on it - that really works - please let me know. Gracias
As, Offer , Accept. Is hat Walter eventually did. Once he got out of his own way.
Im not a catholic but I am a Christian I down loaded the hallowed app around the start of lint and followed it through but father Mikes sermons are rockstar material bought the book they do have it on RUclips as an audiobook
"We get into a situation where it's not what we expected and we wanna run, or we wanna ignore it, or medicate it"... he says after me saying a thousand times today I wanna run away. Or maybe even just die for a day. So I don't have to deal with this frustrating reality. Boyyy Fr Mike always telling my life's story lol he never misses. God bless him. Can't wait to hear the remedy in the rest of the homily 😊

Well the truth is, that man's life, is not the boys life, this is all coming to surface now,
