In Switzerland, 90% of businesses are close on Sundays. No malls and supermarkets. People say - Sunday is for God and family.
Carmencita Vettori that’s a very nice practice it used to be in Hungary this way for sometime but they changed it sadly, multinational companies liked the idea to Work Sundays all day long
Same with Chick-fil-a in the United States
America used to be that way up until the 1990’s when stores and businesses started being open on Sunday.
Oh man... The answer about Lucifer represents so well why I could neber be Catholic (with respect)- that answer about Mary has no grounding in scripture at all. There are so many beautiful things about the Roman tradition but this exalting of Mary is nit one of them.
I am convinced that the end of the Blue Laws in the United States was beginning of the unraveling of Christian life in our society.
One of my 7th grade students, Maria, says that Mary is the new Light Bearer because she held the light, which is Christ :)
awesome answer! tell her that her name, Maria, is the name of the Virgin Mary in portuguese: Maria, Virgem Maria, Santa Maria
That’s so beautiful. You know yes Mary literally held the light that is Christ our Lord. It’s my oldest Son’s birthday tomorrow. He’s all grown up and in the last part of his twenties now. I remember when my first Wife was pregnant with him. I used to love feeling him kick while he was inside her Womb. That always reminded me of when Mary met Elizabeth and Elizabeth was pregnant with John the Baptist. The verse says of Elizabeth that the ‘child moved within her’. It was as if even while still in utero John recognised this was Jesus, the light of the World who was even then coming into the world. I love thinking of Mary as the new light bearer because as the Father says here Lucifer rebelled and pridefully disobeyed God. However Mary humbly accepted God’s will for her and her life and thanks be to God our Saviour Jesus Christ was born into this World to save sinners like ourselves.
@@murderface3r , like me my youngest Son is of Goan Portuguese extraction. He has taught himself Portuguese and has studied in Portugal with Surrey University. We have a wonderful Portuguese family who live on our road.
That’s a title of St Joseph, light custodian too
@Michaleleer do you have pictures of family hung up in your home? What of family members who have passed away? Do you never speak to those pictures or simply look at them and say something hoping tjey could hear you? If so, is that worshipping them as idols? "Oh grandma, I know you're looking out for me, please help deal with this situation which I know you're familiar with." That's not worshipping that's asking intercession, there's a BIG difference.
I'm glad I found Father Mike, he is full of life, charismatic and a joy to listen to. He presents difficult theological topics very simply. I used to listen Fr. John Carapi before the scandals but even now believe he is holy man. I see Christ in Father Mike, Jesus also was charismatic, and easy to listen to, even though the Truth no mater how it is conveyed can can cut us. I pray Father Mike's ministry will continue to flourish as the Holy Spirit continues to animate his love for God, for his neighbor and the Church.
He just wants everyone to be thankfull. You are a bright and beautiful. Much love and light. Thesun morning star.

How can we become closer with our guardian angels? Also, what happens to them when we are no longer on this earth?
I want that wan answered too
+owen Spisak Me too!! And do we each only have one or can we have more than one?
+jeanpaulabshire Guardian angels don't leave us when we get to heaven, they are waiting for us there to join them.
+Sweet Heart You can have more than one, and what's really cool is that we can pray to become closer to them and ask how many we have and what their names are.
+Julia Lindell Just wanted to say that the Church emphasizes extreme caution on asking for names of your guardian angel or even naming them yourself (which some do). This can be very dangerous.
#askfrmike
Can you give us a testament to how you became a priest?
This guy is really enthusiastic
Not making fun just noticed
Fr Mike's answer to "Leetle flower".. hilarious voiceovers,😂 illuminating answer..Thank you Father 🙏👍
Oh my gosh the subtitles!! When he does God's voice please turn on the subtitles guys
Father Mike you're so precious for all of us Catholics aaround the world.
I wish my boss listened to you about that work response.
I think… His Voice is !!!! It will melts my heart anyway 🤤💕
God always bless you and protect you. Thank you papa for creating fr mike and for teaching us through him.
thank you for all this info Fr. Mike.. you are awesome
I love the illustration of Mary on the wall. Plus, your videos are great.
Excellent video Fr Schmitz!
Thank you Fr. Mike God Bless
Thank you father Mike
Father Mike. I love your channel.
I love the idea of beginning on Saturday afternoon/evening!
I loved the how you explained that Many is God’s greatest spiritual and material creation, I believe this, she has all the power against the enemy.
No, she doesn’t. Do you have a chapter and verse for that in the Bible? Because if you don’t your imagination is lying to you and you, in turn, are lying.
Thanks Fr. .........! For beautiful lovely simple explaination of questions.
I am now looking forward to seeing more father Mike impressions!
I work Sundays a lot and have a lot Wednesdays, Thursdays and other days off. When one week, I only work Monday, Tuesday and Sunday, I can’t call in sick on Sunday because I won’t get enough money each month if I do that every time... I rest the other days of the week. The fact that it’s always Sunday makes it almost impossible for me. That means I have to lie and call in sick for work.
#askfrmike How can I make a good examination of conscience? This is something I struggle with and want to get better at.
Thank You Fr. MC
Long time follower, first time commenter here.
With too many false shepherds in the world right now preaching heresies, such a blessing to have Father Mike as an online influencer to guide us on the right path. Thank you Father and God Bless you
Mindblown by the first answer!!!!👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the commentary on the Sabbath rest.
Thank you! I struggle to not work Sundays
G bless you brother
I love the way you explain things!! I have such a better understanding because of you!
Wow! So much light to my weekend... I Pray to Trinity since I was a child... in my heart God is One...
Thank you because of your explanations I am willing to love God more and better ... and Our Holy Mother Mary... It is a great present. Thank you Fr Mike, I pray for you! Flowers in colours from my heart. :)
I am from Mexico City.
My advice to you is pray to God, and only to God.
In Deuteronomy, Jesus tells the Israelites: your God is one.
In John 17:3 Jesus calls the Father the only true God.
It's clear that you are struggling with this. I'm telling you that the reason is, because it isn't right.
I advise you to check out Islam.
It makes sense, and it's clear.
And all answers are clearly given to all your questions, straight from God, in the Quran.
No intermediary needed.
No priest, no church, no human, no confusion.
If you have questions, I'll try my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge.
Haha the ☁wind 😂😂!! Great video Fr. Mike ..God Bless You !
Thanku Fr. Mike was looking for short description on Trinity
Good advice. Good teaching
You are so funny , love the voices .you have a quirky sense of humour that tickles my funny bone.
Fantastic !!!!
Hi Father this so struck a chord with the scripture I read this morning on Bible Gateway from the Psalms
51:12. ‘Return the joy of your salvation to me and sustain me with a willing spirit.’
I was thinking it’s not like the Lord needs us to ‘big him up’ or praise him. It’s not like he’s some kind of celebrity who feeds off our adulation and gets a bit miffed if we don’t constantly tell him how great we reckon he is. Love your Channel Father. Keep up the good work and may the Lord richly bless you in ministry of his word and his unfailing love.
Great answers to difficult questions. Thank you Father Mike. God bless.
This was VERY helpful to me!!!
GOD BLESS!
Father Mike, I just started listening to you. I'm so grateful because I feel my heart changing to a softer more loving Jesus Christ and Our Blessed Mother as I should. Because I was created for a reason, because God loves me.... thank you Father.
4:09 Best voice I've heard for God ever! My sides!!!
God Bless!
4:08 that voice cracks me up😂
Great comments
Amaziing videoo thank you so much❤
Thank you so much, Fr. Mike, for all of your videos! Your advice really helped me to gain more knowledge about living the holy life God has called me to live. They have revealed much light on the dark areas of my life and lifted me higher. May God bless you abundantly in all that you do!!!
thanks Fr :)
Wow that answer of Mary was amazing. Never thought of that. It makes perfect sense if you think about it. Its everywhere in the revelation where it writes how the women battles against the beast.
Great video!
#askfrmike
How do you, and other priests, write and prepare homilies? How do you decide what is most important for your community to hear that day?
Lauren Hammons in my experience, most homilies have to do with the reading of that day.
You are next level in wisdom but the questions are coming to you are for getting clues how to conquer Christ i noticed !
great video!!!!
Wow - Father Mike, you are the first american that i've ever seen who fixed the hand signal for the number 2 from the gesture which here in Ireland is vulgar to the acceptable palm forward version. Well done Father :) !!! Loving the videos Father, I've been looking for a channel like this for ages. Thanks for these videos! :)
lol .... Mystery explained! I wondered why he always does that.
#AskFrMike Hi Fr. Mike, how are you? How would you answer questions about Mary's Purity, the Assumption, and the Catholic Church being the one true Church? My Protestant friends who I'm living with challenge me on a lot of things to do with my Faith a lot and sometimes I don't know how to respond. It hurts when they kind of bash Mary as I'm very close and devoted to her. Thanks Father, God bless you in all that you do! I lovew your videos, they always uplift me :) Niall, from Ireland.
I get how you feel. I don't understand why people with other religions always bash and criticize Catholics. "Why do you believe in this" "why do you believe in that" or " you're wrong about this or that". Man, I don't criticize other religions or tell them they are wrong in what they believe. I have been questioned numerous times and I get angry with myself because I haven't been able do "defend" my religion or haven't been able to respond to their questions. I've felt as if I'm being attacked. This is why I want to learn more about my religion and be able to defend my faith. I have a looooong way to go. There is so much I don't know. 😕
ruclips.net/video/Dn1tWuIoZsg/видео.html This guy is amazing if you have the time. Very scriptural and really helped me understand where these doctrines are in the bible.
@The Lesser Confessor please sr. Respect the protestan, every one deserves a little of respect. So catholics are the church of Jesus? No, the real church was the one the apostle create by preaching the word to the world, they die preaching the word in the street, these new churches didnt even go to the streets to preach the word but in the other side the protestant they are always on the streets like Jesus did, like the apostle did, like a real christian, so every church had bad and good. Dont come here saying" satan create protestant" when they are better christians than you.
@@Jmiguel175 you are right, Catholic should not bash Protestants and Protestants should not bash Catholics... Our division has driven so many from Christianity, persecution by fellow Christians is heart breaking. It is time for Christians - Catholics and Protestants to pray for unity, to find what we agree on..."a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand"
@@BlessYouAngel is not about unifying religions or doctrines, is about reading the bible and follow what the bible says no matter if someone has a diferent point of view, if your point of view is not validated by the bible then you are wrong. Everyone wants to have a diferent opinion on the gospel and thats what bring us to these and all these religions and cults. Is not our opinion is what the bible said period.
Good advice.
Omgoodness those impressions were funny.🤣🤣
I often thought about Question 2. Thank you Fr. Mike for your brilliant answer. Brought a tear to my eye in fact. Thank you.
Thank you father Mike this helps me out a lot. I was always praying to God and Jesus thinking that God was a jealous God thank you for clarifying that.🙏
Love it.... Fr Mike... you are so Spirited, I enjoy listening to you and all you teach us all... Prayers , Peace and God Bless 🙏✝️💒🕊
If you work and provide a service for those in need you're doing Christ's work even on a Sunday
#ASKFRMIKE How did God Choose My husband and myself to be parents of our special needs daughter? She has numerous disabilities. How does God gives us the strength to take care of her. I am her 24 hour caregiver?
Bc he knows that YOU are strong enough to manage it. Not everybody can. God must believe in you
@@abri_xxx, why should she have to? Shouldn't the almighty God who demands praise and worship be a little more on top of things like this?
@@HELLH0WND I don't say she has to. It could be ONE explanation.
Love your videos. You are very charismatic, make things easy to understand, thanks to u I am growing spiritually. God is love.
You the best
these videos are so helpful really. thank you as well to those who submitted the questions :)
One of your best videos, thank you Father Mike
tq father
#askfrmike: Hi, I asked my pastor if we could organise a fundraising to buy Bibles to put in each pew of our church. He answered that even if they were all free, he didn't know what they'd do with the Bibles; they weren't needed in each pew. I like to sit in church in the middle of the day talking to Jesus and I always wish there was a Bible there. My pastor said I could just bring my own; that the readings necessary for Mass were in the missel. Even if that's true, is there a legitimate reason not to have Bibles in our church pews? How could a church say, "no"?
When you say "God is love", is that just a poetic metaphor, or is it the literal truth? The abstract, impersonal phenomenon of love is the same as the concrete, conscious Being of God? Does that mean that the love I feel for friends and family is part of God?That's amazing, and trippy in a good way.
Your words about moving your Sunday rest time is very helpful! Very difficult to set the time aside as a collegiate student athlete. Thank you!
I posted this 3 months ago. NOT one catholic has replied! Why????
Catholics claim Sunday is a holy day made by God.
I will ask these questions again which NO ONE can answer.
And I know you will NOT!!!
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE RESTED on the First day of Creation?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE BLESSED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE SANCTIFIED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE NAMED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE DECLARES the First day of the week as HIS HOLY DAY?--(to make the day special).
We honor the day Christ was raised from the grave. We call it The Lord's Day. Hope that answers your question.
@@sandybunns6161 quote---We honor the day Christ was raised from the grave. We call it The Lord's Day. Hope that answers your question.--unquote
But, OBVIOUSLY you DO NOT care what God calls it. The FIRST day of the week and ONLY THAT!!!
Whay day does SAY is HIS HOLY DAY????
THAT IS WHAT IS most important!!
Isaiah 58:13 13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on MY HOLY DAY; and call the sabbath a delight, the HOLY of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
THE ONLY DAY GOD SAYS IS HIS HOLY DAY--SAbbath--The ONLY day GOD SAYS IS THE SABBATH IS the seventh day!!!

Ok but I can’t be the only one highly amused with Fr.Mikes God voice.
thanks so much father for everything you do my dog just died yesterday and watching your videos make me feel better
Well satisfied with the second answer. Thankyou father😊😊
Please do a detailed series of all the Pope's through history.
Thank you. I agree with you 100%. If God follows Jesus, how far?
4:08 great Brian Regan impression! LOL
Father Mike...I love your videos, but I would love to share them with my family, I would ask you to subtitle them in spanish, it'll be awasome!
JESUS became the ONE and ONLY with the LIGHT.
And that the replacement of Lucifer being Mary is really inspired.
God bless Father Mike, I really appreciate your spiritual guidance ❤️
You are so easy to listen to, what a gift
Your material voice sounds very Catholic . ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸
I am a southern Baptist and here I am four years after you uploaded this video enjoying your message. Oh and love the Yogi bear voice but keep working on the Holy Ghost 😝.
Great explanations, nice job Fr. Mike
Besides our Lady, St. Francis!!!
Keeping the sabbath is practical. Teaches you to discipline your mind
Sundays for self-care. Consistently confirming what I tell people. Catholicism is awesome because there is nothing in a self help book, psychology book, or philosophy book, that isn't in the Bible. Christianity is a one stop shop, the Bible is the ultimate owners manual to life, and catholicism has the best customer service department.
#ASKFRMIKE
Hello and thank you for considering my question. My brother asked me this once. He was very bitter in his life in many ways, but nobody seemed to be able answer it:
He said, “If God loved the world so much, why did he cast Satan to the earth? “
Thanks for your consideration and many videos that are a blessing.
Praying for you and many others -
Thank you 🙏🏻
I can give you the Muslim answer if you would like...
It's a smart question, yet easy to answer for Muslims.
I don't know how it would be answered from a Christian view though.
@@bishrn Sure, I would love to hear what you’d say from that perspective.
Thank u Father Mike, been struggling with these issues.
Amen
Thank you, soooo much, Fr Mike for saying that we are not slaves and through God we are allowed to be free and rest a day! I am a nurse and going to nursing school, and the job has become so hard these days. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Father Mike!
God wants us to be free all the time not only on Sunday
#askfrmike do we all have a guardian angel?
- loved ones that have passed on - are they still with us and how can you tell?
- why do demons exist? And why are possessions a thing?
When I was a child my parents allowed “stuff” to happen to me. Through my life, I’ve become closer to God and now that’s my reason for living. I always thought I would never be able to forgive them. Last week my mother got sick and had to go to the hospital. The first thing I did was ask for Gods mercy with her. (She has her own God)Have I forgiven them?
I never pictured the Holy Spirit to talk. I think the Holy Spirit is felt. Like an emotion. Lol. I don't know what I'm saying.
The Holy Spirit is God in action. the holy Spirit moved on Mary and she concieved...
He is a person and he actually talks😅
"So then who is lucifer's opposite? That's a good question! Well, thank you father Mike, well it's easy... you brought it up!" XD
God bless u father
u are just awesome ❤❤❤
#askfrmike - Father would you do a video on the gift of humility? Can you explain why anyone should bother achieving great humility? Can you give current examples of humility and why it is important to master great humility?
Anyway i like you father mike,i may or may not always agree for what you have said,but stll like father mike.
