Wow! Once again, I am in awe of your sermon, Father Mike. You never cease to amaze me and encourage me to strive to be a better Christian. I have several light afflictions in my life right now and I ask God to use them to help me become like Him. I give it to you and I let you use it for my good, Jesus.

It's the only way to make sense of suffering, and it's what brought me back to the church.

@TboneWTF 27 күн бұрын

Why must you "make sense" of suffering? Why can't you just accept it as part of life?

God will use all for the good, especially when it's offered up voluntarily. God does not force anything.

@SteveRegnier Ай бұрын

Beautiful! It is in the acceptance and trust of what is happening in this moment that God can make us like Him and help us become the fullness of who we are in Him. Nothing is wasted when we remain open to the love of God. Thank you, Fr. Mike!

This is the second time and it feels so different mainly because I'm doing ciy and biy, besides other prayers. I've been learning so much from your podcasts. Your homily is perfect for me today. Give it all, offer up all. God bless you Fr Mike 🙏🏻

"God has a purpose for the pain"? LOL. Are you serious? Jesus Christ why would your gad allow you to suffer? My advise is to get to a doctor so your pain can be managed. good luck.

Enthralled by tales of triumph, I share with you the marvels Ana Graciela Blackwelder has wrought in my life. Through her expertise, I have ascended to heights previously unattainable. With earnings from her counsel, I have secured a new abode and vehicle on American soil, and most profoundly, I have financed my son’s essential surgery. Praise be to God, shalom indeed.

I just got this scripture today on the parable of the wedding banquet… and it is really making me think about the importance of taking the call of God seriously. The call to a wedding… even to dress the part. It’s given me a new fresh outlook. I am going to do my best to always be in celebration mode… that’s what we are commanded to be ready for otherwise we are to be thrown out into utter darkness! You got to fight for your right to party! That’s what comes to mind… it’s not just a right… it’s a command. We are human though… but I’m going to try… Let’s see how this goes.

When I received Holy Communion, I told Him, "I surrender all." The Lord needs me to pass the message forward. When you receive Him, in Holy Communion, tell Him, "I surrender all." His love is enough. The Lord is truly enough.

It seems that the only thing that God wants from us and for us is our suffering. Suffering is joy?

@KB_2161 Ай бұрын

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don’t feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what! My love to You, My Lord, and to all of my brothers and sisters in need of prayer, worldwide, especially those in need of purgatorial prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen. Amen.

Hello Ascension Presents: I wish to first of all thank you for everything you do. You are quite the blessing for all. I wondered if Fr Mike's daily masses might be live streamed? We all know that priests are bored and have nothing to do, especially Fr Mike. He is so comfortable in front of the camera. Fr Mike, you are a Ham lol. Plus, you say a mass every day anyway. Just saying, get the Ham a go pro lol. You know we thank you and love you and pray for your intentions. That means that we are praying for you praying for us praying for you. As a matter of fact, it could be set up so that the funds from the daily mass are set aside for a specific purpose such as, IDK, the new church? It is just a suggestion. God bless ❤
