    There’s not one talk that Fr. Mike gives that doesn’t bring me to tears. Never have I learned to understand the Bible like I do in listening to him. I’m so grateful for the gift.

    Father Mike, aka dad you made me arise from the weeds and the muck I walk in to remember I have Jesus to pull me up and if it doesn't happen their is a strong vine He will provide for me. Loving Jesus is action . Consider the lilies of the field. God bless everyone as we approach lent we must give our cloak and more God will provide maybe not in this life but iñ eternity Saint Micheal will reach out his hand and lift us up to God.. Thanks Dad. Aka. father Mike love to the kids and the vfp that maybe feeling poorly. God cloak is forever let's make our time on earth earn it ❣️

    "Giving up is marked by losing hope. Surrender is marked by trust." Wow, wow, wow!!! Father Mike, thank you so much! I always enjoy your videos and podcasts, however this one is absolutely inspired! It went right to my heart and went beyond giving me what I needed. It took me to a new place of understanding God and hardship. Thank you Father Mike, thank you!!

    There was a lady who was told by the world: “there isn’t any challenge you can’t overcome, cause you’re a strong person”. Sadly a few years later that lady committed suicide; her personal strength wasn’t enough to overcome the world & she was told a lie.

      I also want to add what my sister and I spoke about this morning after listening to father Mike 3 minute or what ever it is … all of us need to pray for this priest because he is ministering to so many many many and he never gets a day off or to himself. His load is heavy and so many of us reap his graces!!! I am a cradle Catholic from birth and middle aged. I have learned so much and have been able to understand God’s word / scripture because Fr Mike explains things so easily for my mind and heart to grasp!!!! Dear Lord: thank you for creating and blessing the world and all of us for Father Mike. Amen!

    Giving up is addiction..... Ive surrendered and reality is that after a while when there does not appear to be fruit from my trust after years of praying Divine Mercy Chaplets with my heart, giving up feels real.... When there is no reprieve despite our feeble attempts at trust after months and years, I can't help but not trust. I feel lonely and alone, so please keep me in your prayers...... and please, please don't pontificate to me. Just pray for me please

      I agreed with myself & with Jesus to agree to be led thru the dark.
      This helped me. I hope in your surrendered moments some gift-thought comes to you, dantastic. 🙏

    Fr. Mike, thank you for your powerful homily on surrender. It is what I needed to hear. I am hearing a lot on this recently which convinces me that this is what I need to do instead of giving up hope. I am so overwhelmed and frustrated because of all the problems my family have been dealing with simultaneously for more than three years - the problems just keep adding on with many remaining unresolved. That"s why I go back and forth from losing hope to trusting but I think it is not complete trust because I continue to be anxious. I want to totally surrender to God but am really struggling.
    Fr. Mike, how can I to totally surrender when problems continue non-stop and happen simultaneously and I am so drained all the time?

I have to comment because when the war is physically over it is the spouse, each child of those once at war who face daily those demons of war! There are men & women walking this earth that are zombies on the inside & it is not found out until the cheeks been turn! Nonetheless, a lovely good news cast today of truth & grace Father Mike.
