Thank you, Father Mike. God has given you an amazing platform to spread the Good News. I am a protestant who has been following your Bible in a Year, which has moved my life in so many ways. Praying for you and other faithful followers like you to continue God's work using social media platforms to tell the whole world about Jesus and his salvation plan for all of us.
“You are God, I am not.”
Thank you Fr. Mike! This message hits home! 🙏🏻
Prayers of thanksgiving for Father Mike and all who make this available every week.
Please pray for people who work evening and night time jobs who want to go to Mass in person but need the rest/sleep to function at their work. Please pray also for people who work on Sunday. Thankful to have work, despite my disability. Thankful that we have Mass during the week. Thankful to be Catholic. Thankful for the Virtual front seat and Mass online. Thank you Jesus for beauty and goodness in technology. Happy Advent.
God bless you for the reminder. I am a retired RN who had to work every other weekend.Night shift was especially difficult.
"You are God, I am not"
The very foundation of humility. Beautiful words as always, Fr. Mike. Amen, and God bless you.
Its just so beautiful knowing that there are 100 of millions of people all around the world celebrating the same, mysterious eucharistic miracle every day in the same, holy way, as all christians did from the beginning till our Lord will come. God bless you all from Germany and have a great week!
Father Mike, again thank you! At 86 yrs I am finally understanding! Yes, You are God, I am not!❤
Thank you Fr. Mike. I've been listening to your talks, etc. For years, as I was raising my children who are grown now. These last couple of years have been so difficult, as I fought a breast cancer battle, divorce, and even being arrested for drinking & driving, and a couple other felonies, that I don't even care to talk about, but after a recent felony, it is almost impossible to be able to rent where I live, but on Friday I got a call from a waiting list that I was on for an apartment. I have to turn in the application tomorrow. I don't know who will see this, but I'm asking for someone & anyone to please pray for me. I need this place. To God be the Glory! He has given me new life, and a new heart. I had no idea just how dark, the dark could be, and I never want to return to my former ways. It's so much better living on the brighter side, even when things don't go my way. It is so true, that Jesus'burden is light. I know now, just how much must love me.
I will keep you in my prayers 🙏❤
Praying for you🙏🏼 May Our Blessed Mother intercede and those the heart of the person reviewing your application.
"You are God, I am not." This is so wonderful, praise the Lord! Thank you Ascension, thank you Fr. Mike.
JESUS I TRUST IN YOU
"The pressure to be perfect. You are God, I am not" 🙏❤
Can we take a moment to appreciate Fr. Mike. This was Mass, science, math and astronomy all in one. God Bless.
⭐🙏✝❤
Awesome homily and such wise words to live by. Help me Lord to remember these words every day of my life. Thank you Father Mike for always enlightening my days. God bless you!
For some minutes i forgot i was Listening to a sermon, thought i was in a complex mathematical class & then it hits me, Fr. Mike was trying to explain the wonders of God & the work of his hands.
First time joining Holy mass here, but I'm sure gonna turn regular.
YOU ARE GOD, I AM NOT🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌.... I Humble myself in adoration.
Fr. Mike, thank you for mass. I live in Florida, and I am going through some medical issues. I don't sleep very much, you help me to get through the night. May God bless you and the Newman Center.
Blessings to everyone, Happy Advent. Prayers to all and Fr. Mike. Our God is Good
I attended 8:30 am Mass at my home church in Virginia, and arrived home to listen to most of your homily. What a blessing! Praise God!
I’m 66 and have not missed many masses in my life, so have heard a lot of preaching. This was one of the most skilled fusions of science and faith that I’ve ever heard. Thanks Fr. Mike!
I did the same thing but new York city. All glory be to God 🤎
Same here, Stockton Calif
All Glory to God Amen
Father Mike, you are an amazing priest. I love your homilies. But more than that I love to see the joy on your face when you are saying mass. God Bless You !!
THIS HAS TO B ONE OF FTR MIKE'S ALL TIME BEST HOMILIES.GOD BLESS OUR GOOD PRIESTS, LIKE FTR MIKE. MAY GOD'S PROTECTION B ON HIM AS HE JOURNEYS WITH US ON THIS 🌎

I love all of Fr Mike’s homilies, but this one, to me, is one of the best ones ever! I will never forget to say, “You are God, I am not.” Thank you Fr Mike and God bless you!🙏✝️🙏
Thankful for you
Fr Mike, God bless you
Salvation for my family..who have left the Sacraments.. I don't get to Sunday Mass. Fr Mike's Mass is my saving grace.
Happy Advent everyone! Hope you all have a safe and warm week!
Love the message today. When one thinks of oneself as the main character of the story of life, we try to control everything and stress out when things don't go as per our plans. But when we accept the fact that it's the LORD God the Father that is the main character, then we allow His plans to be fulfilled. We must be more than average because God's plans are to make stars out of everyone! Thank you for your service, Fr. Mike and Team!
🕊🙏🏼♥️
Ty Fr Mike ♥️ your Homily 🕊🔥🕊🔥🕊🔥🕊
Praying 🙏 as special Intention for all and any who may and or will die unexpectedly today: btw: bless, heal and protect ( Roman Catholic) : Heal
Amen. Thank you Father for this message. Please remember in prayers all those who are about to take upcoming exams. 🙏
Hello. I attended the online mass. Father would like to tell that the world is soo big so value the people who make you feel belonged, the Earth is sooo far from the sun so value the warmth we have. The sky has darkness, so value everything we have during this darkness. The world can be big, but Love can make it spaced enough to feel alive and loved.
Praise God for these blessings and knowledge. He also said this "The main Character is God- He is the One to fill our spirits." Praises and Blessings.
Thanks!
Thank you, Fr. Mike.
Thank you, Father. 🙏
Once again, thank you Father Mike and Ascension Press for making these videos available. I pray that I will be able to go to Confession some time during Advent. I was just diagnosed with left lower lobe pneumonia; have never felt so sick in my entire 64 years. But at least I know the reson why I've felt so poorly for the past month. God bless everyone here this first Sunday of Advent.
May you be blessed Fr Mike, for all you are doing and teaching. Prayers for you and the crew. God Bless. Claire.

"It is great to take responsibility but it can wear us down. We might be average…but we are not insignificant. We can refuse the temptation to pretend to be the star when we say and live the words You are God and I am not."

Happy Advent to all. I find it helpful to remember the words of St. Mother Teresa, "God does require us to be successful, He ask us to try." To have goals is wonderful, but do not underestimate to the power in being a person who keeps their promises, is honest, kind and respectful. God bless Fr. Mike and all who make this Mass possible.

Ofrezco esta Santa Misa, por intercesión de nuestra madre Maria Santísima, por las almas del purgatorio, las personas presas y los enfermos. Agradezco todas las bendiciones recibidas por todos. Pido por la paz del mundo, la paz en los corazones, la amistad verdadera y las familias. Amén ❤
A Christmas story! 😊
You are God, I m not....So powerful words....Words of total surrenderness....Thanks Fr Mike. Help me Lord, to be the Average Star...
Thank you, Fr. Mike, for an inspiring homily. How did you know my main character story? Should I try be like the children in Lake Woebegone, all of whom were above average? Or should I cultivate the virtue of humility, hard though that may be? Maybe just remember "You are God, I am not."
Beetlejuice to “ You are God and I am not!” PTL! Amen amen! TY. Fr Mike❤
Amen
Thank you Father Mike ❤
Blessings!

Glad I'm not the only one😮
Happy advent
And your homilies are far from average!
So we should consider ourselves mediocre ? I consider myself to be special. Special, because God has given me a lot of talents, good looks, an affluent family background, etc.
When I special, I feel the responsibility to make others feel they're special too and to reach out to others and help in whatever possible ways can possibly.
Whenever life gets hard and I dobt feel special, I find it hard to he blessing to others..
What am I missing ? What do I need to know ?
Life is going well for me right now but the reason I listen to this is because I'm an over the road trucker. Was just wondering, is that a good enough reason to do this and miss confession? I miss going to confession
Fr Mike the UNIVERSE is a MARVEL. But not compared to my new grandson.
🙏🏼❤️
You are God, I am not. Have mercy on us all. Amen
I repent for the dnr on myself or pdsa will sign that in the hospital to be undone
