Please pray for me. I am questioning my beliefs and im only 14. I am a protestent right now, but the catholic faith is so beautiful and i feel as if God is pulling my heart to join it.

I appreciate it deeply when God heals my physical ailments but above all I'm most grateful that he healed my soul.

35 years ago I was diagnosed with an inoperable, malignant brain tumor. 7 mostly emergency surgeries, over 2+ years just to keep me alive… bad time. Best thing that ever happened to me. God’s timing was/is perfect. The tumor one day, with no medical intervention, intercession from Blessed Mother, and the tumor went away. 35 years, 10 kids (fostered and/or adopted) later… I’ll repeat, God’s timing was perfect. I Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but for me, that tumor changed many peoples lives.

My teenager says "Father Mike is the gentle parent version of priests." 🤣 I agree, always gentle even when the truth can be difficult to accept.

Amen, Yes he still heals he Healed me he opened my spiritual eyes i was blind by Islam but the Lord Jesus Christ opend my spiritual eyes and my life completely changed and changing everyday Glory to God!🙏🙏🕊️ Najib the Lord Jesus Christ flower and ex Muslim from Afghanistan.

True. As someone who is potentially suffering from small bowel cancer, just had it removed last week, I have to trust God and Jesus will take care of me. As much as I would love it to be in this world, I would pick His world anytime. Both is preferred of course. I also had suffered an accident while I was a young adult, preventing me from ever working. While God may not have seen fit to heal my injury, he did ensure I was taken care of otherwise. As bad as I am, and God knows I am so far from perfect, I will always have faith in God and Jesus.

This priest is a blessing. May God keep him close through the Holy Spirit.

I've lost two of my children. One 25, and the oldest 34. Their sickness and death have brought me so much closer to God. I, of course, asked that this not happen, but I believe God has a better plan. God bless all of you going through sickness and loss. ❤️🙏🏼

Stay close to God and you will find peace even amidst pains and illness 🙂

I needed to hear this message! My daughter passed away in 2006 from a rare form of cancer. I was told that maybe I didn’t pray hard enough. That hit me like a ton of bricks. My husband was told this happened to her because we weren’t good Christian’s. I’m so grateful to Father Mike for posting this, God bless!

I needed to hear why Jesus heals & then the illness may return again. I just lost my son who passed on May 14 of 2023. It was a Mother's Day. Both my son & I are very close to our Jesus. We were prayer-partners & we prayed for my son's healing daily. He suffered from a mental illness. Jesus came to him in a dream & told him he would be dying soon. He shared the dream with me & we talked about it. My son only asked for His love & mercy. He died about two weeks after his dream & it was a sudden & quick death. I still do not understand it. I'm going through bereavement sessions with good Catholic leaders & a deacon at my church to be able to cope with life after my son's death. He was a young man & most kind hearted. I love him & miss him so very much.

I have been sick for years something has kept me strong is knowing I can offer up my suffering to Jesus for the salvation of souls. After I consecrated myself to Mother Mary, I just offer up my sufferings to Jesus through Mary for mother Mary intentions. I ask her to purify my suffering and than offer it up.

Thank you for this video. I have had 4 friends and a cousin die in 3 months. I prayed for them to be healed but I have come to realize that their healing was in their deaths. They are now healed completely and you can’t get better than that. They are with Jesus.

You spoke to my mind, my heart and my soul. I truly believe that God calls us home when it’s the optimum time for our soul. I volunteered in the pediatric unit of our local hospital. I was sitting in the ICU at the bedside of a toddler who had just undergone open-heart surgery. Her parents needed a break for a cup of coffee. Concurrently, there was a 15-year old girl in the same room who had sustained multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident. The nurses were changing shifts and giving report. The 15-year old had remained stable for the last 12 hours. I remember saying a prayer, “Heavenly Father, please heal her.” Not 5 minutes went by and this young girl started to crash. I remember crying out in my mind , Lord NO! And, I could hear His response in my heart, “It’s better that I bring her home now than to have her not make it home at all.” So, I remain trusting in God that if we live 1 day, 1 year, 25, 50, 75 or 100 years, it is but a mere dot on the timeline of eternity. Jesus I trust in you.

I have asked the Lord to heal me for so many years, but He has chosen not to. I feel like it is as Paul experienced my " thorn in the flesh". The Lord has said His grace is sufficient for me. I also feel He is glorified in it. The demons look and say " even in her suffering, yet she trusts, clings and longs for Him !" He is glorified as we persevere in Him, and a crown awaits. On my bad days I feel it hinders me from having the fullest life I can, and the enemy tells me " see ! that doesn't honor Him ! ".........I can only trust His mercy.

Been chronically ill for near a decade. I wish I were healed... My son too.

God healed me from chronic headaches and ITP...been waiting decades for him to heal me from fibroids💯 Its about Gods timing. Lord give me the strength to keep waiting until its time!

My mother passed this year due to cancer. She was going through so much pain and suffering and she chose to trust God Through it. I’m so grateful to have witnessed that level of love faith.

So true, God is not a vending machine. Our relationship with the Holy Trinity, with the Holy Family, all the angels and saints in Heaven and all the souls in Heaven who love us - demonstrate to me in difficult times that being alone is an illusion. You have heavenly powers protecting you, loving you along your life's journey in good times and bad. God is always on our side, especially when He says no to us. Thanks!

My father passed away 1 year ago. I have never thought about why didn’t Jesus healed my father. My prayers with my father as he was dying, was for my father to received the Good Lord. The Lord Loves covers a multitude of sins, thus bearing eternal salvation for us all. Our mortal body is just temporal ❤️

I question why some people are not healed and it's very difficult to accept. I know a beautiful devout Catholic family and the mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30s. She had just had her 5th child. She was the most special person I have ever known in life. If there was ever a living saint, it was she. She prayed. We all prayed. All the time. For her. And she died, leaving behind a loving husband and 5 children. I can't help but question WHY? WHY? WHY? We need people like her on this earth. They were leaders in the church and in their community. Why take someone like this away from her family and away from all of us? Such a good and loving woman .....and she suffered terribly. That is an understatement. She suffered so much and was faithful until the end. I just don't understand and it bothers me to this day.

My husband passed 3 days ago at 42 years old. I still don't understand But thank you fr Mike Edit: THANK YOU to all of you who replied with love words, thank you God bless you all

Praying for healing for all who are sick. 🙏🙌🏼💕 We Believe.

I consider my chronic illnesses and surgical complications as a gift a blessing to allow me to connect with people and help others. I am constantly offering it all up for HIS greater glory. After my moms death when I was 16 I turned away, but by HIS grace and through my physical suffering He called me back and into a deeper relationship.

Thanks Fr Mike. I've recently had to deal with a serious injury from a fall. All those thoughts that went through my mind about God, and my response to this injury, were enlightening. I then asked God to use my injury and pain for the good of my family members who are in need. That became my response. God Bless. Claire.

sometimes our suffering has a higher purpose, it's called redemptive suffering, it may bring you closer to God despite the pain

Before listening to Fr, I should reckon that God does heal everybody, ultimately.

I have came here to request to everyone of you watching this to please say a word of prayer for my Dad as he is fighting a battle to heal against the sickness that he is going through right now. I know our God is a God of healer and nothing is impossible for him 🥺

When I was a small child I used to ask my mother why God didn't answer my prayers sometimes and her response has always stayed with me "God answers every prayer and sometimes that answer is "No"" - what we can know from this is that the answer is for Goodness to His Will and not Ours and we can always be blessed and thankful for that miracle of reality. In fact, WE MUST, lest Satan overwhelms our senses. 🙏🏻❤️✨ Praise God

I have adhd. It’s very difficult for me to focus when I pray, read the Bible, work, or win souls. I feel like God set me up for failure.

You cannot imagine how timely this is. Thank you, Fr. Mike for every bit of your time and insights, your holiness, your faith. Thank you 🙏

Christ has already healed me far more than I could ever ask. praise the Lord.

Thank you for your words, im suffering with a brain disease there's no cure, I pray every day for 1 of Gods miracles I know lots of people deserve them to, it's Gods will who receives them we still have to praise him and thank him in jesus mighty name Amen 🙏

I've had a benign arrhythmia for about 13 years. Recently, they started getting more frequent again. The beautiful thing is that they had disappeared for almost 2 and a half years. I got to LIVE without fear, and I never expected that would happen again. I really enjoyed that gift God gave me. He let me see what life was like without fear, anxiety, and uncomfortableness. Now that the arrhythmia has flared back up, I look back at all the wonderful things I experienced, and I am grateful. I couldn't be more thankful for the miracle God performed, and I am going to continue to pray for strength to handle whatever comes my way. I have other illnesses, but they've all brought me closer to God. I'm still uncomfortable with being sick, but I'm also at peace. It's my path. I don't know how to explain the feeling. I just know that everything is going to be ok even if it gets difficult. Thank you for the message, Father Mike. God bless everyone! ❤

Jesus does heal and I don't always feel that within the Catholic Church. I often admire the Christian Scientists because they put huge emphasis on the healing power of Christ in a way that we don't always emphasise in our tradition. There is something we can learn from other denominations, particularly the church started by Mary Eddy Baker because they have so much trust and faith in the curative power of prayer and ultimately in Jesus. I feel we look too much into the ceremonial content of the sacraments but we tend to overlook the real healing power of the Eucharist, for example. We forgot the words "I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be HEALED" as it is central to our faith as Christians. Thanks, Fr Mike, for your talk on this aspect of our faith.

"To cling to Jesus, even if it means to cling to Jesus on the cross." Man. This video came out exactly when I needed it. I was wondering the very same thing yesterday. This is my consolation when nothing else fills the hole. I love that this message can be used for physical wounds as well as other types of wounds. Because we all care one or the other. Some of us carry multiple. Does it ever get easier? Possibly not. But we never give up the fight. God bless you all.

I don’t always understand why my prayers seem to go unanswered but in that I always feels it’s calling me to a greater trust. Maybe that itself is the answer why.

Twenty- three years ago I almost lost my Momma on Christmas Eve. Five years ago I lost my Momma on Easter Monday. I was blessed to have her for almost twenty more years. The best Christmas present ever! I miss her terribly, but I know she is home now with the LORD. Thank you LORD for giving me those twenty more years. The LORD is truly good indeed.❤ Thank you Father Mike for reminding me how blessed I was to get more time. ❤ It has been a difficult journey the last five years. The holy spirit is speaking through you. 🕊️ And the timing is perfect. I needed to be reminded how much God loves us. Bless you always Father Mike your BIY, CIY, and videos have given me my hope back. I will keep praying for you as you do for me!

God heals in many ways. Perhaps your illness, or perhaps your ability to deal with the illness, through a grace to except His will.

Dear Fr. Mike, you are so right!!! Jesus may not have healed me physically, in the way I would like or expect. But I have to bear testimony to the fact that Jesus has never left my side , not once. He has healed me emotionally and spiritually in ways I cannot see and these last 7 years since my illness He has made me joyfully overflowing with love for Him and those He has put in my life. He has taught me to trust Him so much that the Peace I experience from trusting and surrendering to Him is just simply unexplainable. Thanks be to God🙏🌻

Thank you Lord for everything you do for me and my family. Please Lord heal my friend that is sick. Amen 🙏

Love this and thank you. I am so torn when people want me to pray to heal their 85 year old parent. We all die. My prayers are always " Thy will be done "

God bless you father Mike, always praying for you 🙏🏼

I just came across this video, and I bursted in tears. I needed to hear this and today God through you father gave me answers. Thank you

Dear Heavenly Father, please heal my child. I am not sure what you have in store for her near future but we ask for your complete healing with this shocking news.

One of my friends tried this on me the other day, the doctor found something in me & TODAY 2 of my tests came out benign It’s not about not having enough faith & I’m tired of people in bible churches telling us Catholics that we are basically heathens

Thank you father Mike. I had been away from the church many years. In the past two years I’ve had medical problems. MS? Some sort of neurological or endocrine issue? They still don’t know. For just over a month I’ve returned to the church. I’ve found such comfort in the lord. I’m renewing my relationship with him. This video explains a lot. Maybe god was trying to tell me something. Whether he heals me, whether the doctors, give me a diagnosis, it is not what defines me. I am home, and god is within me. God bless you.

Dear father, thank you for all that you do. Please pray for me that I may work to strengthen my faith and lead a good life.

Thank you so much father Mike 🙏🏼 I know your mom passed recently. My father passed away April 2022. This video of yours helped me understand all of this a bit more. God bless

There’s a scene in the show The Chosen where Little James approaches Jesus and asks Him why He hasn’t healed him. He sees Jesus healing so many around him but wonders why not him. It’s a good scene if anyone wants to look it up.

Yes, i will cling on Jesus no matter what as our Lady of Kibeho told the visionary before rhe genocide " Never let Jesus go no matter what and pray a lot so you don't fall" cling on me also. Our lady of Kibeho pray for us so we may never astray from you

How did you know I needed to hear this tonight? I had near death cardiac issues that have me scared and I was brought back to the church because of this major medical event last year. I was feeling good but now am having issues again….. I am clinging to Jesus with my whole being and praying to not lose faith….

Jesus healed me / delivered me from a dark spiritual time in my teen years. Yes, he most definitely does. But it involved my full cooperation and I learned a lot.

I wish my brother was open to hearing this because he has literally told me that I’m not healed because I don’t have enough faith and that statement was VERY HURTFUL to me. Jesus has helped me to forgive him, so I continue to pray for him to know the truth someday.

I pray to feel better sometimes but understand that if God does not will it that I can offer it up for the souls in pergatory and to Jesus for His will ❤

Thus far, I’ve been health, and my family & close friends are healthy, praise be to God. But if God instantly healed everyone that prayed for healing (like an ATM per Fr. Mike) there would be no need for faith, because God could hypothetically be everyone’s wishing well for all of our desires. The Lord works in ways we aren’t supposed to understand. But though our faith in horrible times, He will be with us until the end, and bring us unto eternal life. God bless you all!

Thank you Father. Your words are very encouraging. You have a special gift. I have been chronically ill for 50 years. It is very hard and I get discouraged sometimes. I don't waste my pain. I trust in the Lord. I've got my eyes on the prize ie. spending eternity in heaven with Jesus. No cross, no crown. God bless you Father.

I, and three of my siblings, have a very rare, incurable, debilitating, and very painful hereditary syndrome. Due to our condition, we are not good candidates for any surgery as our syndrome doesn't produce connective tissue properly. When I was young , having a pity party, my mother would take me to see those truly suffering and ask if I would like to trade places with them. God has healed me in more ways that I can count, not physically but spiritually. That is the only healing I seek in my elder age. Hope to see you this summer Fr. Mike.

This video is such a coincidental timing as I asked Jesus not that long ago about why I am not healed yet (mentally) even though I surrendered and trusted in him. What I relearned is that Because God loves you so much as a Parent watching as his child running to him asking for help, that he will always answer and he will always find a way to heal. It could be instantaneous yes, but his will could also be through other means. He is the Divine Physician for a reason, and his will, the Spirit will lead you to his other servants, The Doctors and Medicine, though not perfect, they are given the gift of wisdom for a reason, to serve. As long as you trust him, he will lead you to the right path and person, as a Father, he only wants the best for you, and for you to love him back completely. This journey, has, because of completely trusting in him, and of Course the Sweet bread of the Eucharist, his body and Blood, and Confession, I've grown closer to him. A little bumbling stumbling little lamb who always wants to be at the side of the Good Shepherd. Do not forget The Blessed Mother and St Joseph, they are your family as well. As you keep your eyes on Jesus, they are there supporting you and praying for you

God's gift to me is my suffering, His calling me into a deep relationship with Him. My gift to Him is my suffering so He can use it to save souls. It's not easy, but that's the point. We have work to do, Heaven is the reward.

It’s true. When I got sick and I still am, I got very close to God and very inquisitive about who God is. I hope he deliver me from this situation and I just ask him to give me strength for every day. I guess we don’t have any option other than surrendering to his will.

If God heals us, it can quickly teach us something about Him. But if we learn and choose to not drown or become bitter in our times of suffering, He can teach us something about ourselves.

Thank Fr. Mike I needed this reminded today. I have been fighting to ignore the evil one when he says that God isn’t healing me because of a long list of sins. This gave me hope that even if I am not healed I know God still loves and cares for me.

Praise God for HIS Mercy 🙏

I started out Baptist was unsatisfied went to Messianic which I love because it answers so much. I have been going through the cataclysm with you in a year. I feel such a longing toward the Catholic Church. Please pray for me

Pray for Brazil... Against the Comunism!

I prayed and prayed and prayed for as long as I have known how to pray to be fixed, to be cured, to be healed, to be made whole to wake up being one or the other and just not stuck in the middle. Only to realize that my prayers had long been answered. That I am the person I was meant to be. I could not be the person I am now, doing the things I believe I was meant to do, if I was not blessed to have lived the life I did. I see the reason for my struggle and my journey to now have the strength to follow the road that has been put before me.

Please pray for my family and I we need prayers bc Covid has hit our house!!! It's getting passed please heal the 3 of us! Thank u, god bless. Amen.

Thank you Father Mike, for this message.

Please pray for my son Bruno and for me. Thanks.

Probably already noted but an important insert: I’d argue it’s inaccurate for us to say “sometimes Jesus/God doesn’t heal” - we should simply add “the way we ask/think we need”. He always heals in some manner when we ask for it, but I think the repeated “doesn’t heal” statements are alluding to *physical* healing not always being the gift given - God may instead heal some other part of us through suffering (which was indeed mentioned). 🙏🏼♥️

An Angel came to my door two weeks ago to say I had a natural gas leak in my yard....My house had been checked previously and ruled OK......There was a Gas Main pipe leaking in my backyard. God wanted my presence today.

Jesus the son of God suffered so why shouldn't we suffer. Are we better then him? Suffering can bring you closer to God. We take our cross and walk with it.

Dear Rev. Father,,,,i couldn't agree more when you stated that people who say to someone seeking healing that they don't have enough faith,,,it borders on sin and i always thought it was so hurtful,,,,and i swore that was something i would never do and bless the Lord for his grace.that i never bought into that,,,,,but you know Rev, Father ,,there is something about you and i have the same thing,,,,i talk so fast,,,,,my mind is clear but my mouth goes too fast,,,and your words are so impactful,,,also i am so glad you don't dye your hair,,,i cringe when i see a priest in particular using Just for Men,,,,we had a parish priest a few yearsback who obviuosly dyed his hair and it was not distingue at all,,,i was sure that at times his hair was bleeding black down the side of his face,,,,and i wanted to shout out,,,,Father your hair is bleeding,,,,,Nothing is more distinguished to me than grey hair,,,,growing old gracefully,,,to me it is so becoming,,,,,and i know a priest on line who wears different wigs all the time,,,,it takes away from the most important message of all,,,that Jesus is with us and He is Risen indeed, Keep on keeping on dear Father Schmidt,,,,,,and wd you please pray for a dear friend of mine, his name is Wayne and he is scheduled for bypass surgery this coming Monday or Tuesday,,,,and this man has great faith,,,,and trusts the Lord no matter what,,,,what a witness Wayne is to me,,,,,thank you Father Schmidt for praying for him

I am Southern Baptist. This is the most powerful message that father Mike has given yet good job, The reassurance of Christ Jesus is real.

😂😂😂 I love you Fr. Mike. God bless you! 🌷🍃

God bless, Father Mike. I am watching my mother-in-law go through this process. God's love is forever!

Hi everyone, please pray for me.

Amen!!!🎉 I'm thinking of the episode of the Chosen right now!!!! Thank you, Father Mike!!!

I struggled with this burning question for a few solid years after my mother's painful death from ovarian cancer. Took some time to work through this spiritual issue.

God is God, he will do what he wills -- we cannot expect or demand he obey our requests or demands

I have felt the love of God before my surgery. I have alot of pain from multiple diseases and i feel that no matter what i should be an example of Christianity, in spite of my illness. God didnt curse me. He made me an example of faith

Yes love is stronger than dead 😢I’m experiencing it 🙏

We are so Blessed to have Father

I have fibromyalgia. There is little I can do about the pain, which can be severe at times. I offer my pain up. I try to be open to God in the present moment, to discern his will. I pray for others. I helps to think I could be being used by God to both help others and also my place complete trust in him. I know there is a reason why I have so much pain. I don't have to know what the, reason is at the moment. Trust and obey.

He didn't heal my girl from brain tumor, but He s working on me

Perfect timing as always father mike, I am currently in poor health, nothing serious right now but it is preventing me from attending mass in person and preventing Me from working, which leaves me feeling guilty and worthless, to hear these words is a great comfort as I continue to pray to be healed enough to at least attend Mass in person and one day work again, I remember you saying once in one of your talks, "hope has a name, his name is jesus" a saying I will never forget and hold on too always, thankyou father mike for saying yes to Jesus and doing all that you do.

Indeed. Job testified: The Lord gives and He takes, blessed be His name. 🙏

Saying to someone who's sick "if you only had more faith(or prayed more), God would heal you" is actually cruel. It's putting the blame for the illness on the person who's sick, as though they could do something about it, but choose not to. I'm very sick and have multiple chronic pain conditions, so I understand suffering much better than most and I have enough faith to say to God "Thy will be done" and be at peace with not being healed. That's real faith, and it's not dependent on healing. I'm grateful that I get to offer up a lot of pain for others and be like Christ who suffered first. I don't want people's pity, but I talk about my suffering so that others who suffer can see this and understand that you can be at peace without being healed. Despite everything, I can say(like Mary) The Lord has done great things for me, and Holy is His Name. 🙏🏻

Thank you, Father Mike. Prayer warriors, please pray for my brother Ben. They found cancer on one of his kidneys... Please Almighty Father heal my brother...in Jesus name Amen! ❤🙏🙏🙏

If I could have a beer with someone, This guy would be it. I like his down to earth approach to deep spiritual issues.

GOD HEALS EVERYONE. In the end times people will mock God and not know how to use his power!

God hear me heal me help me 🙏🙏🙏❤️☘️🌹

Oh my brother, it’s not age, ... I literally know how to improve your vision if you all would just listen to our older Bro. He will set you free and very likely improve your vision. I’m passing through MN soon, on my way to live in my car out west, but 1st I wanna catch a mass with Barron, and see some Amish people in WI. When at the mass I’ll offer prayers for y’all. ❤

A profound video in 11 minute format. Made me a subscriber. Thank God for the learned priests of the Catholic faith.

I believe that sickness, even great Illness can help us learn unconditional love for God. Some love upon conditions, they will only love if their requests or desires are fulfilled. ( Like a bride who will only love her husband on the condition that he buys her everything she ever wanted) That's Not Love. God is not an ATM nor a genie. We pray to conform to His will, not vice versa.

Please pray for my daughter whom is supposed to get a tumor removed from her spine soon. We are praying for complete healing before this major surgery.

I watch this on the day that I been to see Nurse about my medication to teach me what to do. This medicine might make me get low blood sugar and make me ill. Scary. I feel fine but I have to take medication that could make me sick to make me better. Strange. But I have to do as I am told. God makes me low to make me see the love in Jesus. Here it is in this video. The love. Thank you Father Mike.

Thank you. My oldest son died the day before his 17th birthday. It's been a year and half and I still feel so confused about why God let that happen. Everyone was praying for him.

I can’t say I welcomed my pain or that I am brave but ❤I do offer it to my Lord for the souls in purgatory, those in my family and those souls to fall in to mortal sins. I offer everything for His greater Glory ever Day (sometimes I forget). I thank the Lord for my faith but I have never prayed for my own healing just a little help sometimes!
