    Dear Fr Mike,
    Your homily hit close to home for me today. I just finished visiting with my elderly mom who lives alone, and is feeling very alone during this season. I too always feel that I am not able to do anything more to help her, because my schedule is too full. With your homily, I am making a new commitment today to love more those that I am closest too, especially my mom who deserves more of me…
    Know that I will be praying for you and your mother during this Advent season.
    May every listener to your Homily and this Liturgy, and reader of this message, grow to better know what it means that “Jesus is coming” and how to prepare our hearts for Him this Christmas!

      I too live alone, with my son across the country. It is hard for me to even entertain the idea of flying out to see him. Which breaks my heart. A thought: have you examined your schedule, to see where some things are not truly that important to make more time for her?

In my own life, I've felt regret or the pulls from so many people and things and how it is important to love and be PRESENT. I am praying for you and your momma so much Fr. Mike. God protect you and Bless you today and always!! Amen! Happy first Sunday of Advent :)

    I am thankful for another day in which I have the chance to learn how to love and better. Looking back I know how selfish I’ve been when I had worldliness at the center of my heart instead of God. Any day could have been my last like with an accident and I am just glad it wasn’t earlier. It’s time once again to be aware more than usual, almost like with Lent’s ashes.

    I have been attending this virtual mass even though I didn’t need to. I went back to mass at my local parish and I was very glad I did. Very few masks, we are singing again and although no wine at communion. It was uplifting to receive communion again. Thanks to father’s homily last week. My local priest also had an inspiring homily about advent. 3 tips, go to mass, go to reconciliation and pray. I think Father Mike would approve. I’m praying for Father Mike. I hope he calls his mom everyday. He won’t regret those conversations. 🙏

    When it comes to love or to give, think small tasks, i.e., the world will be a better place if we were there. So, the act of picking some small trash, or to give someone a helping hand, or just to let go off things that make us mad, or just donating our time to make someone smile, etc... are all good because of love.

    Aw, Fr. Mike, I think about you and your mom almost every day and I pray that y'all have lots of quality time together as she undergoes treatment for her cancer. I know what that's like, my dad had over three years of chemo for colon cancer until he passed away in 2011. I miss him daily and always wish I could have one or two more days with him. I look forward to seeing him in heaven when I pass away!

    I like listening to these. Thank you for posting them. I’m enjoying learning about this aspect of the Body. Thought after today- I would recommend The Life You’ve Always wanted by J Ortberg for “resting” meant in the way we may need as human beings. I’d also recommend Dr. Dharius Daniels “Putting People in Their Place”. I want to Love everyone, but see the need to prioritize. I like the idea of at least for Advent Season, saying “yes” to those I’m committed to loving. I want to ask God to show me really who these people are and strategically meet their “Love Tank” needs. I also want to recommit to praying for them. Nice homily and as usual, very thought provoking.

    Shinedown has a song called “How Did You Love?” I thought of it immediately when listening to Father’s homily.
    Lyrics:
    You can have a sound of the thousand voices calling your name
    You can have the light of the world blind you, bath you in grace
    But I don't see so easily what you hold in your hands
    'Cause castles crumble, kingdoms fall and turn into sand
    You can be an angel of mercy or give in to hate
    You can try to buy it just like it every other careless mistake
    How do you justify I'm mystified by the ways of your heart
    With a million lies the truth will rise to tear you apart
    Woah
    No one gets out alive, every day is do or die
    The one thing you leave behind
    Is how did you love, how did you love?
    It's not what you believe those prayers will make you bleed
    But while you're on your knees
    How did you love, how did you love, how did you love?
    Nothing ever feels the quite same when you are what you dreamed
    And you will never look at anything the same when you see what I see
    How we forget ourselves, lose our way from the cradle to the grave
    You can't replicate or duplicate, gotta find your own way
    No one gets out alive, every day is do or die
    The one thing you leave behind
    Is how did you love, how did you love?
    It's not what you believe those prayers will make you bleed
    But while you're on your knees
    How did you love, how did you love, how did you love?
    This ain't no cross to bury
    We are the judge and jury, we are the judge and jury
    No one gets out alive, every day is do or die
    The one thing you leave behind
    Is how did you love, how did you love?
    It's not what you believe those prayers will make you bleed
    But while you're on your knees
    How did you love, how did you love?
    This ain't no cross to bury
    We are the judge and jury
    This ain't no cross to bury
    We are the judge and jury
    How did you love, how did you love?
    How did you love, how did you love?
    How did you love, how did you love?
    How did you love, how did you love?

    I’m a little ashamed to admit this, but I first knew the Latin hymn that Father Mike always sings at the end of mass because it is sung in the Broadway musical “Evita” and not from an actual mass.

    • @bajone02
      @bajone02 3 года назад +1

      @Barbara Rudy No need to be ashamed. We didn't grow up learning the Latin prayers. But you can now if you want. I am proud to say I finally memorized the Salve Regina version Fr. Mike sings so faithfully - inspired by him and the Dominicans I heard singing it also after mass on my campus where I work. I probably listened to it about 20 times on my Echo. It finds John Michael Talbot singing the same tune so you can clearly hear the pronunciations. St. Bernadette, pray for us. Louisville, KY.
