It always consoles and mystifies me that Fr. was ordained the same year as I. We are well reminded not to compare ourselves to each other in this life. He is certainly glorifying God and building up the Church with his unique talents.

I Thank You Dear Jesus for giving Us Both of these Strong Men of Faith 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏

Thank you for your PRIESTHOOD..you bring Jesus to us..the AWESOME HOLY EUCHARIST

So wonderful hearing from Father Mike about the inside story on priesthood. And thank you Dr Hahn

I love this Priest personality his videos he brought me back to the church

5:45 🤣 We love you Father Mike!

God Bless you Father Mike, my son graduated college last year and shared some of your KZfaq videos with me, so we are both fans. Doctor Hahn, My wife and I converted to Catholicism in 2012 and while we were going through RCIA, we were reading (Rome sweet Home) and it was very much a key coming from a southern Baptist upbringing. God bless you both

Fr Mike, this is Deacon Rick, and I think a timely topic for a future conversation would be your advice to young priests, in light of the struggles some are having in our diocese.

The session in which Father Mike describes what it is like to be first Father and then a mother (no privacy 🤣🤣🤣) May God bless you!

Two of my favorite men sharing "Dad," Father, Son & Holy Spirit stories!

God bless you Father Mike,and keep your pure for his name's sake ,Amen. Ave Maria

Love you Fr Mike, you really have a gift and share it so wonderfully with us. You really connect well with all ages! Thank you God for Fr. Mike!

Fr. Mike is one of our very few priestly priest!

Fr Mike Thank you for saying yes to Jesus! We love you from Homer Glen Illinois.

Thank you 📿🙏🙏 It is such a blessing to have Fr. Mike and Scott Hahn to instruct un in our faith!!!!

Praying for you fr Mike 🙏 you are a lovely priest Amen 🙏

One day I walked into the sacrasty and called out "Father?". My priest answered with "Daughter?". After we talked, I said "Thanks Dad" jokingly. Now I sometimes call him "Abba". I hope that isn't disrespectful but that is how I actually feel.

That was so funny about the lack of privacy. I really enjoyed this video.

Thank you Lord for all our/your priests

I love this conversation.

2 of my favorites chatting together! I love it! Saint Joseph pray for us! Praise God! With love from Boston ✌️

Yes, thank you Jesus for them both.

Love the fact that they're not wearing masks✊🏾

Father Mike openly shares his vulnerability and humanness in his videos. That’s why he’s so approachable and personable.

Ok, rule number 1, should my son become a priest. I am not going to him for confession!

Dr Scott Hahn's voice is so intimidating 💪🏾 God bless all fathers

As a father patience is hard when it comes to privacy

If I was a priest I think the hardest and most reward is woman. Rewarding when they help you, worst part is when they try and tempt you.

So sweet ♡

Lol...that was cute when he said he has no privacy! Yep that is a huge aspect of parenthood indeed!

Question in ordination do they anoint your fingers as to say that you and only a priest can hold and distribute the body of Christ?

I'm not a native speaker. Can sb. help me with this: Where does the word/term "Gosh" come/derive from? Thank you very much.

No privacy for parents! 😭😭😭 its true

Hardest/Impossible Things: Obeying Torah and the Jewish Messiah. Best Things: Receiving Praise from men.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy. I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained. I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them. Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me. They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female. About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place. I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! ! 500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you. There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily. Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you. Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want. The rest is up to me and God. Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed. ..............................................................

Father Mike, when one of the students called you, "Dad," he was just testing you to see how you would react to being called "Dad," unless English was his second language. What if he had called you, "Papa?" Then how would you feel? I address the Lord as "Papa" at times because it sounds very loving and very dear to me.

🙏 🤲 🕊

A priest faces even more temptations than a layman.

Father Zelonis you expressed humility, and would be much easier to approach you I am sure.

The ministry of presence...

EASY - EVERYONE TAKES CARE OF HIM EASY STREET - !!! BULLLLL

How unbelievably strange for a mother and father to have confession of their sins, with their own son, really weird,

The Mass is a sacrifice? The Eucharist is a sacrifice?

Lol, maybe they should sound proof Father Mike's area. I live in an old farm house so know about sounds going through walls.😂

🥹🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Revelation 17 : 4 name one other religion other than Catholics that have purple scarlet and decked with gold and precious Stones? If you could name one other I will go look it up thank you

Any man who has no desire to be married to a woman should never be supernaturally married to the Bride of Christ. Any man who doesn't have a desire to be a father in the natural order should never become a father in the supernatural order.

The cover photo is misleading, don't do that people!

Father Mike is the BEST!!! (Dad your as old as my car!!!)

Dude looks like Don Draper

hmm. again something suggested about Mr. Schmitz :D I don't know I just begin to think he is a little bit fake with us, like playing a role in some movie, but no one can see his real face. He can't help himself to not try to flirt with women in some way and I don't like it, it isn't fair to them. I stop to listen to him almost completely, although I liked his homilies. maybe I'm a little too proud :D

#1 Banging teenage boys

He speaks in bursts of mutterings which makes his speech quite unclear

You live as a family man, another example of fatherhood. Now, - maybe a man cave for your sanity? You can call it a mental health facility.

Priests are being ordained to be Apostles of Christ and carry on His ministry. Calling a Priest "Dad" is disrespectful and coming from a teenager or young adult, is immature, they should know better. What would they call the Pope, "Grandpa"?

Dad? No! It’s the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Is the devil playing with Father (not Dad) Mike S?!

The Bible clearly states that Jesus is our HIGH PRIEST & call no one Father ! Priests are not needed - we go to the Father through His son ! You do not need a priest to intervene for you - he is NOT a way to the Father - only Jesus !

Speaking of the concept of "father". I come from a small Catholic town and I perceived that the parish priest replaced, to a very significant degree, the fathers of the families of my town. The respect and authority that rightfully belonged to these very real fathers of very real families was thereby diminished by the parish priest "Father". It's something that fundamentally weakens Roman Catholic men, especially in contrast to most Protestant men.

Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey....*spits toothpaste and pukes on gag reflex* ...LOL...I can just imagine what it must be like for you to live with a bunch of teenagers coming in and out of the house with lack of privacy...as you said. It's not much different than being married (or common law married) with children...

The hardest thing must be to be a deep dyed sinner yourself, and at the same time try to convince someone that their sins are forgiven. It is what I call being a hypocrite.

If you accept Vatican II and the Novus Ordo then you’re a Modernist.

The hardest thing about priesthood is telling lies to little children. I know what that does to a developing brain.

Pure mythology, sorry
