Unfortunately, we all suffer in one way or another. Our suffering is an effect of sin and brokenness in our world so it’s not surprising that we feel the effects of Original Sin each day.
Today, Fr. Mike delves into the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where the Holy Spirit shows up to remind of us of our sin and restore our conviction that God is offering us His forgiveness. These are the twofold incredible miracles!

So true, Father. I sobbed my way through confession earlier this week. The priest hearing my confession gently helped lead me when I got stuck - and helped me put voice to my sin. Then he asked the Lord to rid me of oppressive spirits and heal me. I cannot begin to express how free I feel. I am so thankful for God's forgiveness and healing touch. Truly confession is a healing sacrament.

This really is crazy that this video came out today because of what happened to me today. A year and a half ago I went from a lukewarm Christian aka Christian still a slave to sin to being truly born again after surrendering fully to Jesus with a heart of repentance (turned away from sin). Since then I strengthened my armor by spending time with God, frequently reading the Bible and spending much time in adoration and church. But these past couple weeks I was slacking. I wasn't doing any of that much. And soon came the thoughts and memories of sin and before I knew it I had sinned. I immediately returned to God and kept praying but I felt the presence of evil with me and the thought of being with evil and not God was tearing me apart. All the churches around me only do confession on Saturdays but I knew I couldn't wait. This morning I woke up at 7am and could not go back to sleep. I felt the presence of evil in my room. I prayed but I felt it was obvious what I had to do. The church I go to had mass about an hour after. I knew God wanted me to go and He would get the priest to give me confession and that's exactly what happened. I cried being in a room with imagery of the saints. Yes I had accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior again. Yes I had a repentant heart again. I had done what I needed to do to be saved but I still was not fully reconciled. There was damage to the relationship and evil crept in. Once I got confession the miracle that Father Mike said happened. What could have taken days, weeks or months to return to (where my relationship was with God), was quickly brought back by the sacrament. To feel there grace, it's impossible to not cry.

(1 life, 1 breath, 1 pain, 1 sky, 1 earth, 1 wind, 1 thunder, 1 lightning, 1 water, etc.1) slave - Slavery = Men made thing in different ways like war, religion, politics, world money, wealth, assets, facilities, etc. and lot new more... If you are right then money and wealth are just for name sake to live abundance in the world. Save your precious life. If you want, think, change yourself or… In world, in life, suffering, disease, pain, etc. will be there for obvious reasons because none praying to the real ceaseless creator. All Religions & its God / which are made by men, fakes & idols. They gave you a fake and idol men made creator and cheating you. Selfishness = own and those who eat that fish their destruction also. Slavery operated in the first civilizations (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia, which dates back as far as 3500 Before Common Era). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BCE), which refers to it as an established institution. Slavery was widespread in the ancient world. (Today, Mesopotamia occupies modern Iraq) Both Christians and Muslims captured and enslaved each other during centuries of warfare in the Mediterranean. Islamic slavery encompassed mainly Western and Central Asia Many slave women raised their children without much assistance from males. Enslaved women were counted on not only to do their house and field work, but also to bear, nourish, and rear the children whom slaveholders sought to continually replenish their labor force. As house slaves, women were domestic servants: cooking, sewing, acting as maids, and rearing the planter's children. Later on they were used in many factories, instrumental in the development of the United States, where they were kept at lower maintenance costs Cheating operandi started years back and still continue. They said and you have learned about satisfying body/lust of world. The epitome of creations humankind’s depends - depending on other creation instead of real creator. Alas..... Mankind’s food habits, living style and carelessness are the prime reason for mankind's diseases and trials, etc. Emotions are not expressed in word of mouth or mouth but feeling, care, compassion and love; If this mixture is not there then not at all true or there is no benefit) According to the history, writings from the beginning idol worship have started instead of original - real one. Mid of it, religion, caste inserted to grab power, money, assets and facilities. Still humankind believes that and continues the fake and idol worship instead of true. Then they divided humankind. Men-made foolishness by fake on earth, (including yours) 225+, human made religions and their idols worship. Fake 33000 - 35000 crore God, Jesus, Allah, Parsee, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism, atheism etc. None of these are true. Dance in the foolishness of men. The God, Jesus, Allah; of Heaven and the things related to it are Men made fake and idols and the real is Ceaseless Creator of Elysium Not knowing the important point Civilization describes a complex way of life that came about as people began to develop networks of urban settlements. The people leading the religion; not even telling the truth Self respect. Self awareness. Not knowing about self, Not knowing about own Interminable Ceaseless Creator. Knowing own individuality. Realizing own responsibility and general responsibilities instead of thinking to capture World thereby adapt selfishness and greed. Everything starts with you as an individual. Change... Why you are forgetting to remember the 'important' point that humankind is the epitome of all creations of ceaseless creator of Elysium. Life = is in whole body and in all body parts. The soul; Men made foolish thing. Life is enjoyable, but they sadly delivered it, and mankind believes it, and mankind does not really try; Feeling we have 'Run out live like that’ emotionally. In doing so, mankind is supported to fulfill their selfishness and greed. Oops ... For their Divide and Rule policy. You are adoring - worshiping men made fake and idol. Learn history. Rescue precious Life

Someone is very unhappy you made the right call in converting. Expect the temptations, large and small, recognize each one for what it is and from where, and then you will have more strength as you say ' not on my watch'. Then a quick Jesus I Trust in You Will help you even more on the next temptation.

I was baptised into the catholic faith 8 years ago. Last week I walked into my church and asked for my first ever confession. I was absolutely terrified and at one point was about to walk away before the priest arrived. I confessed and my priest was amazing. It felt a great weight was lifted off my shoulders and he advised me to do confession more often. I wish done this much earlier but I believe my timing was right when it needed to be. Mr Mike, your videos have been a huge blessing and I’ve learnt so much. God bless you.

I believe God knew we needed the sacrament of confession. Sin is so great, so powerful when not taken care of. It holds us back. We are not free. Jesus hung on the cross for everyone, because you are right Fr. Mike, the default is brokenness. I was a Baptist, then converted to Catholicism. I appreciate the sacrament of confession, because it makes me stop in this busy world, this distracting world, this evil world. I get to think, examine my conscience and visit the confessional. I went through a period in my life as a young Catholic standing in line for confession, thinking what am I going to confess? I'm a good person, what am I doing wrong? I really had to search out my heart, I thought I knew so much. I actually thought about others sins and used them as a barometer for measuring myself. Then, the miracle you talked about Fr. Mike, happened to me. The holy spirit revealed to me my true self, my sinful self. I then began crying many, many tears for the things I have done, not realizing how I was. I realize how I have sinned and how much I didn't know. Today, I enter the confessional knowing God's love and mercy for me, knowing I need HIM. God continues to restore me with a little glue and gold dust each time I turn to HIM. I pray the sacrament of confession becomes a revealer of truth for all, so we can come closer to HIM. I pray that each time we come together as a people for mass, that we believe that it is Christ sacrificed on the altar, the true body and blood of Christ, which Jesus willing gave us. Jesus knew we needed this great sacrifice, He knew we needed confession. Let's all pray that we can embrace these miracles by speaking about confession to others and the great mercy it contains. Fr. Mike is doing his part, now let's do our part as lay people. Go to confession, then share with other people the unbelievable joy it contains that cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.

Jesus is truly in the confessional. The more I go, the more I feel His presence. One day I was in the confession line begging God to help me to make a good confession because I so desire to become a Saint but fail daily. At the end of my confession the priest spoke to me a minute and then said…”you have to do these things if you want to become a saint.” Needless to say I cried.

I read once that forgiveness after we confess sins is so great and more powerful than the energy after an atomic explosion. Maybe that is why we might be facing WWIII atomic war because man has lost the awareness of their sins and do not go to confession and that energy needs to be released one way or the other.
