"Guilty" + Good Friday (Fr. Mike's Homily)

- I am guilty. And I am loved.
When we are falsely accused, we can often be tempted to defend ourselves or justify ourselves. This makes sense, since we want the truth to be known. But we must not fool ourselves into convincing ourselves that we are innocent. Christ came to save sinners. That means, if I am not a sinner-if I am not guilty-then Christ did not come to save me. But I am guilty...and He did come for me. And for you.

Father Mike. I'm a faithful watcher (since before the pandemic!), so I've seen many sermons. This is one of the best: so powerful, empathetic, and true. Thank you!
Since Passover and Easter are drawing near, I will expose the false preachers and religions, especially Catholicism, who wickedly promote and believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and if you are believing this lie then you also know very little about God and scripture.
Because many lack knowledge of scripture they cannot comprehend the important and explicit clues that John related in his gospel in regard to the Crucifixion and the Sabbath. This ignorance of truth certainly applies to the pagan cult known as Catholicism since they are one of the many false religions that claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and this is why many false Christians choose to celebrate what is known today as Good Friday.
Many false preachers are clearly overlooking that the first day of Passover was considered a Sabbath day to the children of Israel since it was a day of holy convocation and no manner of work was to be done. So it was basically no different than the weekly Sabbath that God commanded the children of Israel to observe every Friday evening. You also need to understand that in a particular year when the Passover Sabbath would begin on a Thursday evening, this was then considered a high day Sabbath or a special Sabbath to the children of Israel since they would now have to recognize two Sabbath days in a row.
“‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 23:3 NKJV
Now to prove how the special feasts of God were to be treated no differently then the regular Sabbath and that no work was to be done, all we need to do is read what was related in Leviticus 23. Take notice that in the Leviticus 23:23-25 scriptures below, it clearly relates that a holy convocation also included a sabbath rest.
”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a SABBATH-REST, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”
Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV
“‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ”
Leviticus 23:4-8 NKJV
Now God commanded the Israelites to keep His Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight and the first month of the year on God’s religious calendar is called Nisan or Abib and it begins in the spring and not in the winter as our current new year does. So because scripture relates that Jesus celebrated Passover at His Last Supper with His disciples many are falsely assuming that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 15 and not on Nisan 14 and that His Last Supper had to occur on a Thursday night since He was crucified on the day of Preparation. Now before I go on, I need you to understand that God commanded the Israelites to always celebrate His Passover but there was actually a period when the children of Israel stopped keeping God’s Passover. (See 2 Kings 23:21-23.)
Since the tribes of Israel had stopped keeping the Passover you can read where King Hezekiah and Josiah reinstated the Passover celebration in 2 Chronicles 30 and 35. They now chose to have the people celebrate God’s Passover at the second temple instead of at their homes since they wanted to make sure that the Israelites would stay loyal to God and His commands. So even though they reinstated the Passover celebration they actually were ignoring God’s command since they now started a tradition where many would celebrate God’s Passover at their homes on the beginning of Nisan 14 and then at the second temple in Jerusalem at the end of Nisan 14.
Now because the gospels are relating that Jesus was buried on Preparation day, many false preachers and religions are ignorantly assuming that this meant that the crucifixion had to occur on a Friday, since this is the day that the Jewish people would normally begin their preparation for the weekly Sabbath that began every Friday evening. Further below I will definitely prove where their ignorance of scripture has led false preachers and religions astray but first I want you to understand that the Jewish calendar months are completely different then the Gregorian calendar that we currently use, and that the Jewish day actually ends once it becomes dark and not at midnight as our world is accustomed to.
So in order to start proving why the crucifixion did not occur on a Friday I will begin by revealing how the gospel of John related some very important information that many deceived believers are not comprehending.
First, take notice where John related in 13:1-3 that Jesus celebrated His Last Supper before the Feast of Passover and then understand that John was referencing the Passover celebration that would occur at the temple at twilight on Nisan 14.
“NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,”
John 13:1-3 NKJV
Next, I will reveal a couple of scripture verses where John related that when Jesus was crucified it occurred during a year where the Passover Sabbath was going to occur the day before the weekly Sabbath. This would mean that you would have two Sabbath days occurring back to back and since you now had a special Sabbath occurring on Thursday evening this then meant that no work could be done on either Friday or Saturday. So since the Jewish people could do no work once their Friday began (our Thursday at nightfall), this then meant that the day of Preparation would now fall on a Thursday instead of its normal Friday. Once again, take note that when you had a Feast Day Sabbath occurring the day before the weekly Sabbath this was then called a special Sabbath or a HIGH DAY Sabbath by the Jewish people.
”Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.”
John 19:31 NKJV
”Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.”
John 18:28 NKJV
So notice how John 19:31 related that the Sabbath that was going to occur later that evening was a HIGH DAY SABBATH. This meant that it had to be the Passover Sabbath and not the weekly Sabbath as many false preachers and religions are wrongly teaching. This is also why John 18:28 is relating how the Pharisees did not want to defile themselves on the day that Jesus was crucified since they were desiring to partake in the Passover meal that would occur at the end of that day at the temple. So since John clearly related in scripture that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and he stated that this was the day before a HIGH DAY SABBATH Sabbath then the crucifixion definitely had to occur on a Thursday, otherwise God and scripture would be lying to us.
Lastly, in order to fulfill what Jesus related in the Matthew 12 scripture where He stated that He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth here is a time recap of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection and a complete breakdown of the three days and the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the earth. On Wednesday night as Nisan 14 begins this is when Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples. Then on Thursday morning which was still Nisan 14 Jesus is crucified at 9 in the morning and He dies on the cross at 3 in the afternoon. Jesus is then buried just before sundown on Thursday evening before the Passover Sabbath celebration begins. Jesus then of course rises from the grave early Sunday morning which is now Nisan 17.
Thursday Night #1 - Passover Sabbath Begins
Friday Day #1 - Passover Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Friday Night #2 - Weekly Sabbath Begins
Saturday Day #2 - Weekly Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Saturday Night #3
Sunday Day #3 - Jesus Is Resurrected
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Matthew 12:40 NKJV
So Jesus died on the cross on Thursday Nisan 14 at 3 in the afternoon which was around the time that they began slaughtering the lambs that were needed to celebrate the Passover at the temple and this is why Jesus was known as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins.

So reflective
Lord I am sorry... I am guilty and I am loved... Thank You for Your Selfless Sacrifice, Unconditional Love and Grace ✝️🙏
I am guilty and Loved. That's really deep. Another good one Fr. Mike.
How is it deep?
Thank you Father Mike for your important words. There are so many people who feel that God will never love them, that their sin is so great that God would never look upon them with anything but disgust. And because they think this they are cutting themselves off from the Lord and all if His mercy, grace and forgiveness. Bless you Father for reminding us.
Yes faith gets us back home with God……we don’t get what we really deserve……God’s Amazing Grace!
Excellent homily Father Mike. I am guilty and I am loved. What a price Jesus paid for my guilt and my love. What a gift to us from our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayers for all on this most holy Good Friday.

I needed to hear this message so badly. I was wallowing in self righteous indignation. Then my breath was taken away when Fr. Mike said 'and then I looked at who was on the cross beside me'. I am guilty. Thank you for telling me that so I can accept and embrace Jesus who died for me. Thank you for kicking out the stool of self righteousness from under my feet. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Fr. Mike.

Dear Fr Mike
Praying for you this special day 🙏🙏 the divine mercy novena when we pray for priests. You are remembered wirh great love for touching our lives with your Spirit filled n powerfull homilies via RUclips across the miles, tks be to God for the internet
Yr homily is deep for so many reasons...
Specially for these: Yr mention of Simon of Cyrene, The good thief Dismas n the Saints'
n yr reflection around these points bring out something so deep.
I hv been like Simon so often ... Saying IAM not guilty... I don't deserve this when I deserve it indeed. When I suffer so often IAM not thinking like the Saints...I deserve worse than this...I must remind myself all the time like the good thief that I deserve death .... But must imitate him every time when I fall turning to Jesus n pleading for Gods Mercy n asking the Lord to remember me😢mercifully.
Love n prayers on this Holy Saturday.
P s loved yr Maundy Thursday homily which I started to watch but yet to
Complete. You said something soooo profound when you mentioned at the outset that you celebrated masse for married couples at Cana...n were spot on in yr observation of long time married couples as they exchanged their wows.😢
Love your amazing homily delivered in red colour vestments❤✝️
All priests wear red vestments on Good Friday. Have a blessed Easter (priests will wear white vestments throughout the Easter Season which “ends” on Pentecost Sunday and on that day priests wear red.
I LEFT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH PRIEST

Amém ❤❤❤😊 Thank you Jesus Christ in Virgin Mary amen 🙏🙏🌹🌹 Obrigado Thank you Family José Severo Duarte, Isabel Martins, Elisângela Cristina Duarte, Elaine Cristina Duarte, Henrique José Duarte, Bruna Patrícia Silva Penharol Duarte Noah LIMA Duarte Obrigado Brazil Bady Bassitt ❤️ SP Thank 😊😊😊😊
We are all Barabbas, all of us condemned by our sins and disobedience to God.
Any of us could be Judas getting caught in a mortal sin before we have a chance to repent.
What is "mortal sin?" Sin that leads to death or something? Doesn't all sin and its wages equal death?
@@QigongQi mortal sins are grave matters that people know are wrong but they do them anyway. Grave matters are moral issues that break your relationship with God and usually hurt someone.
Stealing, killing, drug/alcohol addiction, adultery, pornography, etc
Some of them are gray lines/situational … like speeding a few mph over the limit is probably a venial sin … but if your speeding in a crowded school zone and run over a kid and kill them because of that then it’s a grave sin.
@@Davidjune1970
I'm always amazed by those who can't see - or pretend not to see - that some "wrongs" are far greater than others. Some sins minor. Some sins major. Killing by accident is not the same thing as killing in cold blooded murder. Why is this complicated? Even the law makes that distinction without anyone raising an objection.
❤🙏☘️🌹
I am guilty, however, the only One I worry about what He thinks is The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit. I really don't care what other people think of me, good bad or indifferent, It's their problem to think ill of me, Not mine. Other than that I do greatly enjoy your homilies .
woah. this.
Yeah, this!
after all, it's easy to make people nervous these days. I can eat ice cream and banana freely, like a child and they look uncertain. Why so? :) Or hints. People love to insult with hints. But when it's me, I want a direct and full explanation and they are unhappy for some reason. I recommend it to everyone, thisi is fun. Or absolutely everyone I talk to somehow he happens to observe that I have feelings for him, God knows why. Could say anyone why? I say, you can daydream, but far from me, you try something and I spit in your face. I warn people that the minimum distance between me and another person is a one meter, they have nothing to complain about. listening to BTS mic drop, APOP bands are the best in dancing nowadays, really.
I really can't see that we "celebrate" Good Friday. One Catholic Church listed in the bulletin "Celebration of Good Friday". I think it should probably be "Commemoration of Good Friday", or "Good Friday Commemoration". Commemorate means: pay tribute to, pay homage to, honor, memorialize, or keep alive the memory of. Much more appropriate words regarding the death of Jesus Christ. Who celebrates the death of Jesus Christ?
Jeremiah Chapter 7: 18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. 21Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Jeremiah Chapter 44: 15Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, 16As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. 17But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 18But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 19And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Acts Chapter 12 1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Encyclopedia Britannica: "Through her identification with the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus, Inanna-Ishtar, the queen of heaven, still survives in Roman Catholic iconography - e.g., as the Virgin Mary standing on the moon."
Catholic Encyclopedia: "The English term [Easter] ... relates to Estre, a Teutonic goddess of the rising light of day and spring ... Anglo-Saxon, easter, eastron; Old High German, ostra, ostrara, ostrarun; German, Ostern."
The Blessed Mother corrects the error of those pagan cultures, showing that she is the Queen Mother, because in Israel the mother of the king was always the queen, not his wife. We love her for her role in salvation history. Only Jesus is Lord, only God worthy of worship.
Exodus 20:3
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:”
Nehemiah 9:6
“Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.”
Matthew
Chapter 22:
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew
Chapter 7:
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Oh Derek you blaspheme what you don’t understand.
1 Tim 3:15
15 if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
2 Pt 3:16
16 speaking of this * as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
So the Bible says the Church is the foundation of Truth not the Bible unless you don’t believe Paul.
The Bible also says the ignorant and unstable (that’s you Derek) TWIST the Scriptures to your own DESTRUCTION!
Now as a proud Protestant you will simply wave off these verses as you do all the others that don’t fit the (fake gospel) of Derek.
Daniel
Chapter 7:
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Revelation
Chapter 19
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Matthew
Chapter 7:
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
2 Corinthians 5:11
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
