My Mom used to say, "You should always rejoice at the good fortune of others; because if you are only ever happy at your own good fortune, you won't be happy very often."
Father, may everything that I do this day, whether it be full of joy or pain, whether it be full of love or of grief, I ask that everything I go through today be offered to you just like Jesus offered everything to you. It is in his name we pray. Amen. 11/22/2023.
Thanks so much Fr Mike I can’t believe we’re on the home run now and how much you have changed my life and brought me closer to our faith and more importantly to God. I’m looking forward to doing the Bible in a year again next year. God bless you and keep you safe in these times in which we are living right now.
@James_RC I plan to do BIY for the third time as my morning would be empty if I did not start with it. I am also hoping to do CIY again next year as there was so much too absorb. See you there. 💛🙏
This has been the hardest commandment for me to keep. Thank you Fr. Mike for your explanation of envy and jealousy. I'll be go back to this again and again.
Rev Fr Mike has hit the nail on our home....my husband is often watching stuff on his phone while having his lunch and I need to remind him to show his food some respect...😊
Greeting! Everyone greetings!! Jealous and envy originates from the heart. Jealousy and envy must be banished from our heart by the grace of God. Envy is the refusal of charity, sadness of the good fortune of others. O God! Send us the Holy Spirit for the conversion of our heart and our actions. St Augustine says envy is a diabolical sin. We who are baptized should live in humility. Let us rejoice in the progress of each other! Let us thank and pray for Fr Mike Schmitz, all the clergy, seminarians, and all of us in the CIY community. Amen!
Amen. Thanks to be to God, and to Him be All the Highest Glory ❣️ Thank you so much Fr. Mike and Ascension. As always, I am praying for all of you. God Bless 🙏🏻
“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another. But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared, not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,” Titus 3:3-5
I really like that you talked about life growing at a time when we looked forward to things. Today, we can have anything we want whenever we want. Whether it is big or small. I realized as you spoke of this, that I am missing out on the feeling of appreciation and anticipation. Thank you for waking me up to this. Prayers for you Father Mike, and who participate in CIY.
Very good to think of how we think. Sometimes we don't realize how our thinking is actually sinful, because we desire what we shouldn't have or even need, just because someone else has it. Lots to ponder . God Bless. Claire.
This is well explained Fr Mike and team. Thank you Lord for this podcast as we don’t have time to read but have time to listen. I learned to be grateful of what I have for I can’t take material things with me when I die except my blessed Rosary.
The 10th commandment summarises the precepts of the heart. It requires an interior attitude for the property of others and forbids greed, jealousy for the goods of others, and envy which is the sadness one experiences at the sight of another's goods and the avaricious desire to acquire them for oneself.
Yesterday i listened to the speech of C.S.Lewis about you have no right to happiness. Where he addresses the point that you should not in Sake of your own happiness not be desiring things in a Sinfull way. Because we as Humans have no such a Thing as a right to happiness.
I think I’ve listened to that C.S. Lewis talk in the past. Happiness is different from joy. Happiness is superficial whereas joy is deep in one’s heart.🙏❤️
Everything we do, every good or evil, flows from the human heart. We all have desires but they should not exceed the limits of reason and make us greedy for more. Jealousy can drive a person to do evil *Wisdom **2:24** states: Through the devil's envy death entered the world.* The devil cannot have what God has and so makes it difficult for us so that we too can't have it, by planting envy in our hearts through sadness and lack of charity at someone else's blessings. This comes from pride. Let's rejoice at the merits of others and give God praise. Let's exercise good will and pray for them to get even more 🙌 blessings.❤😊 🙌 🙌 🙌 ❤😊
Also here, deep in the heart of Texas. My kids were always thrilled for movie night. When I was young having a Coke to drink was a real treat, not even once a month. My kids complained if I wouldn’t get them a Coke.
8:18 "Would you like to see God glorified by you? Then rejoice in your brother's progress and you will immediately give glory to God. Because his servant could conquer envy by rejoicing in the merits of others, God will be praised." -St. John Chrysostom
All of you people watching this please pray for a friend of mine her words exactly “I don't know if non-believer is the right word, I'm not affiliated with any particular religion, I'm probably agnostic right now, I do find value in the psychospiritual, maybe to say I'm questioning is more accurate.”
I remember a time when we had to wait for fruit and veggies to be in season, now we are so desensitized that we can have them all at any time of the year.
"We covet what we see" was a good line from Silence of the Lambs 😅 i often wonder if this is why Christ focused on ears ("Let he who has ears...) and not the eyes in the Sermon on the Mount. Our sense of sight even requires the light to be inverted before registering an image to the brain, so speech is a more direct way to receive the Word, without any twists.
In the Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis, one character is named Avarice (or closely spelled). I always wanted to know why he named her that and it makes sense now for her character! It was my favorite Narnia book of his series. May we only have longings for You Lord!!! Praying for everyone. Please pray for me 🙏💓💞💓🙏
My confusion: Although many people consider “envy” and “jealousy” synonymous, they actually have distinct meanings. Envy is “the painful feeling of wanting what someone else has, like attributes or possessions.” If you're jealous, you feel “threatened, protective, or fearful of losing one's position or situation to someone else.” I may envy other's abilities or possession but not necessarily painfully so - more admiration
A perfect example of envy. My cousin studying to be a doctor told us about some people will steal your class notes not because they want to use the notes but to prevent you from studying them.
Oh that’s so sad. When I was in nursing school I made the best grades in the class. I tried to explain to others that I was the 3rd generation going into nursing & practically grew up as a nurse, so everything came easy to me in class. I even spent most days growing up in the nursing home my grandmother started & a large number of my family worked there as nurses or in administration. In the nursing class I was part of a study group & they all turned on me after a year for some reason. I don’t know why. Refused to let me know when they were meeting & blocked me from sitting with them in class. It was very childish. I think it might have been envy.
@@TrixRN These petty clicks seem to form at place you would never suspect, even in convents and church groups. I never did and never will understand it.😥
Day 326 - Envy and Jealousy Jealousy, in and of itself is not, could be an appropriate response to someone's behaviour and other times it's not ok But on the other hand, Envy is sadness at the success and blessings of another. It is "I would be happy if you did not have...." *Would you like to see God glorified by you? Then rejoice in your brother's progress and you will immediately give glory to God. Because his servant could conquer envy by rejoicing in the merits of others, God will be praised*

Spot on and great timing so needed this reminder.

😂👏👍
Love the definition of envy.
Not only do I want what you have-- jealous, but, even if I can't have what you have, I want you NOT to have it-- ENVY.

Upper midwest here also. I can concur, renting a vcr and a movie once a month was a huge deal way back in the 80's.
Also here, deep in the heart of Texas. My kids were always thrilled for movie night. When I was young having a Coke to drink was a real treat, not even once a month. My kids complained if I wouldn’t get them a Coke.
Thanks Father! I've been struggling with this lately.
I'm going through envy an jealous by a friend an she has hurt me for no reason it's a bad thing indeed thanks father Mike
Praise to you God and Jesus Christ❤🕊😇🙏
I’m addicted too ….GW I’m doing Bible in a year in January I look forward to it 🙏💙I have to order the ascension one 💙
Enjoy your journey through the Bible. It will be great!

I can remember when eating out was a very rare and special treat, but now days it seems it happens at least daily if not a couple of times a day……
This podcast reminds of the cover of a Steely Dan album called The Royal Scam. I think it fits perfectly.
