Funny how the Holy Spirit times things, huh? :)

Same

Same here, I feel lonely all the time too much of the time too. I must watch this video again as it puts things into a good prespective.

I know right, me too

Same here!

Isnt that an oxymoron though.... cause if you have God ur not alone.

True 💞♥️

Truly, it's a blessing. You get to know yourself and your God. It's a great preparation for our final moment as well.

@@eddieanderson9399 There is a difference between being alone and being lonely.

@@abeladam5997 this isn't a case of loneliness vs. being alone lol

Bag Obeans I wonder if thats how Catholic monks were more connected to God..being disconnected to everything that doesn't matter..and connecting with what matters most.

me too

Same here.....

It's been years since I had my previous relationship and even in that relationship, I learned I yearn for a ME time. Fast forward to present---been living in a foreign land close to 4 years now, away from my homeland which is in another continent and 5 hours delayed...I never felt so alone in my entire life when I got up here...yet it was in that moment where I found Christ---he brought me to a life of peace and order filled with mysterious joy. So whenever loneliness hit me again, I might as well embrace it fearlessly. I knew---he never left my side❤

You just have nothing else in your way. It makes that connection so much easier.

You said it, enough of the homolobby. The once great Jesuits have turned into a homolobby.

Good statement

@@calvinmacarthur3955 This language is despicable and un-Christian. You should be ashamed of yourself.

He's a great man

The light has already been there for centuries. He is merely reflecting what it HAS ALWAYS BEEN in the church and is within you and I and all who want it as Mike Schmitz, pastor is. Orginal SIN causes and prevents us being as Mike Schmitz, Pastor is. He has been purified by the Holy Spirit per Holy Orders and his level of surrender and use of the sacraments allows him to be used instrumentally as he is now.... YOU and I and ALL people can be like him if we choose to be since the early beginnings of the chruch :) :) :)

Amen!

@@aprilunderwood-moore6987 Being single gives us the full freedom to get right with GOD, to build into existence once lost relationship, between GOD and creation, between PARENT and child. 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 KJV 32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. this world presents love as lust, and if you`re not always touched, then you are not loved = lies and fear propaganda. All of it because the MK ULTRA PROJECTS from masons. John 15:13 KJV Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. And being ALONE (not on your own) does bring forth sober mind. What I have witness in my short life so far is, souls get together for money and because they are bored and the 3th reason is, the pressure of peers and older generations. “People around me repeated daily, get married and have children and move out, so I did. Am I happily living after? NO, i`m bitter, angry, sad, broken, in fear, heavy leaden, in darkness, always in somewhat contests with people around me, who has something better, something more and so on…, I succumbed to the fear of the opinions about my life of others, thats the hurtful truth.” We start feeling lonely, because we are on our own, lonely comes not from BEING ALONE. KJV Bible says; Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Exactly the same here. My discovery of father Mike is so timely. So far the two videos I've come across of his have been just what I needed to hear.

yep, same here :D

I sit alone most of time, walk alone most of time. Still I dont feel being alone. Walking on nice day is great. Still appreciate time with friends I get.

im not scared of being alone im scared what will happen to me if im alone it seems like when bad things happen, it happens when people are alone ie (get murdered go missing)

mathias antonio I've lived alone. You learn a lot about yourself and come to love yourself more. It's not that bad. I did have my place broken into, but I realized that even though I lived alone, I have a lot of people who care about me. I let my family know and they came right to the rescue.

I will pray for you. I would ask you to pray for me for precisely the same thing. People want us to "move on" or stop thinking of them as our beautiful, smiling, loving brides. But that's based in a false anthropology. The women who said "I do" are the very same persons as the ones we desire; do not believe anyone who says they are not. They changed their minds? Then they can change them again, if God softens their hearts toward us and we are ready and worthy, if we work on ourselves and become the best we can be (which is good regardless of the outcome). I often see that spouses in our position are the wives (the standers) and that the ones who are away are the husbands, at least historically. But that's changing. And I think that it's particularly hard for us. Though we're expected to be stronger in the outside world, we rely on the home and our intimate marital relationship as our firm foundation. And when we fulfill our marriage vows right, we are called to love them as Christ loved the Church. So we're conforming to Our Lord, the Bridegroom, in a special way, and reflecting His relationship toward us as His Bride, the Church, that is Israel, in both the Old and New Testaments, where She was at times unfaithful but was made by Him spotless again. So when I start to feel crazy about how much I love and cherish her in her absence and how beautiful and desirable she is even when she turns against me and hurts and betrays me, I just think about the Perfect Man, Who is the very incarnate Logos of the universe, with perfect knowledge, goodness, and wills perfectly in conformity with reason, and how He treated us when we betrayed Him. I think too on the Canticle of Canticles, the love letter of the Groom to His Church, a beautiful and cherished Bride. My serenade to my wife is Vaughan William's prelude on Orlando Gibbon's song 13, the antiphon taken from Cant. 4:1 : "Oh my love, how comely now, and how beautiful art thou! Thou with dove-like eyes a pair, shining hast within thy hair. And thy locks like kidlings be, which from Gilead hill we see."

Daily mass guys. And the gym. She'll be back.

You are a precious diamond. Place your desires in God hands and your shine will bring back your live one's. God bless you all

Dont give up fellas.

I pray your wife come back to you , God bless

I agree.

James, I am so sorry for your loss. I know it must hurt. But I am so glad to hear that you have used the opportunity to grow closer to God’s love. I recently went through the (significantly less difficult) situation of a “breakup” of sorts, and though I’ve healed from the initial pain-the hurt still comes back. But I’m so thankful that God has revealed more of Himself (and even myself) to me in the process. Please pray for me and I’ll pray for you 🙏

I sit in Eucharistic Adoration 6 days a week. It is the best hour of every day.

@@claybahl5107 sending you all prayers 💖

Henry Choi Yeah, don’t listen to that “get laid” garbage. The people who tell you to do that are lonely themselves.

"Getting laid" would only make loneliness worse. Adding pain of misused intimacy.

I get it. It stinks. Companionship is much more fulfilling than fornicating..

True. It's helpful when you know that you are not alone in practicing the Catholic faith and that "being laid" is not the answer for loneliness because it would only add up to the void that has been there the entire time. God bless you and will also be praying for you🙏

More bad advice.

From Boston, USA to You With MUCH LOVE ! God Bless You !

Why don't you run to the nearest animal shelter and hug a few puppies? You'd be amazed how much that helps.

makmelaf I'd say that both help. Though I'd give greater priority to the Holy Eucharist because it is God Incarnate who makes himself present to us. Creatures can help us feel less alone, but for how long. In the Holy Eucharist we can come to embrace our loneliness like Jesus did during the agonizing torment of crucifixion.

And that can allow us to lift up our loneliness and offer it for the sins of the world and the salvation of sinners.

I'm going to start doing this... So God fills me up..

And I can put this world in god's hands

that relationship with God will change your life :) Listen to His calling, and God bless you!

I am glad you found this video. Father Mike has great videos!! I hope for you that you come to the Catholic Church..It is soo peaceful!

Please write a book Father Mike! That would be amazing!

he has a podcast you can find on sound cloud, look up Bulldog Catholic he posts his homily mini series there :)

No! If he does that he might not be able to make as much videos. Plus most of the next gen dont read books. 🙁 We watch KZfaq instead XD

Yes, he needs to help priests write homilies.....! They need help. So shallow and irrelevant! This priest is RIGHT..ON!

Same. 🙌🏻 infp and growing in relationship with God 💫✨

Jesús Pedroza: It's ok Mr Pedroza, I understand. I choose to love you brother right now.

" . . .the coldest, meanest, arrogant people around. . . " Yes Derek I can tell you even more about that, but thats another item. Now I´ve found to myself - and that´s exactly what the Lord obviously wanted me to learn: To be (almost) completely independent . . . So keep your head up and just keep going your own individualistic path . . .

Yes HE Is, Always !

@Sarandib22 You are blessed.

You must have a family background from SL

👍 👍 👍 😁 😁 😁

Thats exactly a real g r e a t chance to cope with such situatioins and come to yourself !!
