Joy is when I wake up and I automatically just start thanking the Lord. I've been down so long since my Brother died, that when I wake up with Joy in my heart, I know who was the One who put it there.
I don't understand why people hate cloudy, rainy days... People say that they are depressing and gloomy, but I find them to be very beautiful, especially because it never rains where I live. I only get to experience rain not even a handful of times each year.
@@sandragrace4613 I think you are over thinking it just a bit. Haha. The rain disrupts alot of plans and people don't want to get their clothes wet. Even walking outside in the rain is a hassle.
@@debaterofeverythingpresent2775 Yeah, I guess for many it does ruin plans. But I love going out when it's rainy; the days are so peaceful and quiet when it rains, and the gray clouds are beautiful. The only bad thing about rain, for me, is the danger it can cause for drivers.
This is so, so true. When people say, "I just want you to be happy" it feels well intentioned but sets a weirdly unattainable standard and leaves me feeling like I'm falling short I really, really appreciate Fr. Mike articulating what I've failed to do so eloquently as he. Awesome! God bless you all!
Dear Father God, Please protect Fr. Mike Schmidt keep him safe and let him know he is loved. Fr. Mike is teaching the world we currently live in about your love. In the name of Jesus Amen Father Son Holy Spirit
To me Joy is knowing that no matter where I am in life and or death I have the arms of Jesus and His Mother embracing me The heavenly host of Angels and Saints support me and pray for me And I am not alone I am with you and with my loved ones who have gone before in the everlasting embrace of God's love That is my Joy
God the Father... grace... Jesus- God the Son... love... Holy Spirit... joy... I am known to my Creator, my Savior and my Paraclete. My heart swells with gratitude, for I am Saved. Thank you Lord. Amen.
Right now I am not sure if I’ll be able to continue another semester of college due to outside forces so this video helped me a lot to give me peace. Thank you Fr. Mike!
I found myself saying throughout the advent and Christmas season that I was joyful over things. I was like a little girl going to a fairyland on Christmas Eve midnight mass. What they had done to the church in 12 hours since I’ve walked out of their 12 hours before was just unbelievable the flowers and the little lights and a beautiful arrangement on the altar with the baby Jesus to me it looks like the entire church was transformed. I sat there with the light, and just thought how joyous it all was, I never had any moment, but about being happy the only thing that mattered was the joy and it stayed with me that entire week, it’s quite cold as you know in the Midwest today. I joined you in the virtual front pew because as you know, I have a little bit of cancer and we’re still in the process of getting started on treatment and surgery so I did not go out to mass because it was nine below and I can’t take those chances, but spending the morning with you was also joyful. I love my parish priests both of them and I hated not being with them today, but I got to be with you and that was just a special. I could remember when I was younger, asking my grandmother, a very, very Christian woman. What would it do? What did I have to do to be happy and she told me happiness is not a destination it is part of the path of your life you’re not always going to be happy, but you’re not always going to be sad, that’s been one of those things that I’ve carried with me throughout my life. You’ve liked grandma she knew how to preach. Anyway, I do believe that joyfulness is more important than happiness. It’s nice to have both, but given the choice I would always take joyfulness. Thank you again for a very wonderful Sunday.🙏🙏
That was amazing. I actually have been coping with depression, by getting rid of my jaw clicking with constant small smiles, and talking to God when I’m alone.
What Father Mike says here reinforces something I saw written on a display once that mentioned how attitude is not about what life brings to us, but what we bring to life.
Consider it pure joy!! Love that. Doesn’t mean you won’t hurt or cry or feel pain. Means you’ll get through the trial knowing the person who comes out the other side will be stronger.
Fr I have been a victim of my own success and you have have beaten my addiction. I have always believed in NIL SINE LABORE Thank you so much and realise now that although success I’m life is important our success is measured in other ways. No more addiction and fallen into the devil empty promises. Thank you
Thank you Fr Mike. I'm experiencing God's love on a greater scale, the closer I get to him the closer I feel he is to me. I can sense his presence and I know there's way more of his love for us if we only give praise, thanks and our time. It's our choice and never too late as long as we can breathe.
Did anyone else think of the For King and Country song "Joy"? :D Thanks Fr. Mike for spreading such a simple but beautiful message of joy!! God bless you!!
I totally agree with you Paisley, I love rainy days! Rain is so important! My friends make fun of me and call me Martia Adams because I like cloudy, rainy days, sunny days actually annoy me in a way I don't every go in the sun.
Everything you said Fr Mike linked to everything that has been happening in my life and this week! The gods you mentioned, just made me recall the movie "The gods of Egypt" I watched yesterday, great movie but you had a very good point about the one true God who loves us all unconditionally. God bless you Fr Mike and thank you for the very insightful subject about joy and happiness, very true :)
I knew AND lived in joy once. ONCE. For around a year. It was cut short by my lack of self confidence. I followed the advice of my mom who surely loved me. But nobody knows you better than you yourself and God. Oh joy is totally different, so much better, like being in the arms of our Saviour at every moment.
I have found on my slow journey of learning about Jesse that I am joyful. Sure I have had many tearful trials but I still come out feeling positive and not angry. One day a few years ago I realized that I feel like the song (I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart), and I do.
Thank you, Fr. Mike, for such a wonderful video. I needed to hear this, to be reminded of this truth and take it to heart! Thank you for always taking the time to produce wise, thoughtful, illuminating videos. They truly make a difference in the lives of so many people!
Thank you!!! My goodness how to explain how I needed to hear this today. Still, I am always looking for that fleeting happiness and forget what true joy really is. God Bless You Father, will pray for you, please pray for me.
Father Mike I came across your videos most probably two or three weeks ago. To be honest I am hook up and always excited in watching your videos. I was raised Catholics attended mass religiously when I was younger until my university days and later part of my life I changed my preference of Sunday service and no longer attend the mass because I found it boring really boring ..and their preaching is so boring. I was converted to be a born Christian and I love their preaching and I grew spiritually. After watching your videos WOW!! God is changing Catholic priest finally. I thank God I found your channel and it is inspire me so much. Thank you please don't stop preaching us the word of God, we need priest like you who has energy, boldness, charisma, and lastly his love for God.
Thank you again. Fr. Mike. I have come to rely on your videos to be able to explain more clearly what the Gospels and the Church teaches. I have come to this realization about happiness. I don’t tell my kids to be happy because just like you said it’s a false notion of self focus. They are chasing to find something that is by chance. Joy is a completely different thing. Thank you for clarifying. God Bless you. I pray I could one day meet you. That would bring me so much joy. Enjoy your day.
Hello Fr Mike , I was listing to a nouthrr veidio .You came on one i fliped it back then you came on again yes in a middle of a nouther interview .Pretty cool of God .We have the spirtit of Christ .Since we have his spirit.yes any thing that we go through God is thier .Knowone can take your joy .Our State went through a hurricane.I was in a nother state a couple of days before .I knew i had to get home.Because my niebor is a single mother of 3 .She called me that moring are you comming home .I said yes .I had to pick up water in the other state .no water where i was going .I stoped my driving halfway point .went in to the good will .A huge light i.bought and some candles .We were set i had everything eles at home .I got home there was so much joy I was there .I was joyful to be home My neibors came out of there apt and hug me the next door lady with the children was happy to see me .The kids from the building got all my stuff I took with me up to my apt .Even though we were facing a storm we had joy .Cause God was with all of us Put my harley in stair well .all is good .please pray for my son Isaac Father thank you
There is a Christmas song called “There’s Still My Joy”; this video reminded me of that song. I listened to that song over and over the first Christmas after my father passed. I believe it is true; you can feel joy in the midst of not feeling “happy”.
Father Mike, truly God has blessed you and I am thankful for your videos. I just watched your video on renewal ministers, it reminds me a lot of myself and the Lord has been very patient with me and has been to you as well. I am by no means an educated man, but through the Lord he has made me so. Educating and teaching me everyday and what you do is another blessing from him. Today in the media there is much to be distracted with and it becomes hard to find people who do not blaspheme the Lord. Most think they are prophets, others think they have been given a message. Who am I to say they haven’t? But when they speak about the Lord in such a way they prove that they are wrong, the Lord speaks to us mysteriously and through scripture and many think they will change the world because they know all. The Lord has brought me to you, and you are a servant of the Lord and teach others, young and old about the truth of the Lord. You are highly dedicated to your ministry and i’m sure at one point in time you will read this comment. Know this, in troubling times when it is hard your videos help reveal God and his Glory. I am not saying this to boost your ego, just to bring Glory to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Many tell you that your are doing well, just know by these videos you bring Glory to Him. By no means do I speak on His behalf, I wouldn’t dare, but your videos have brought me closer in prayer to Him and I am sure that has brought Him Glory. I pray I am worthy enough to be His servant, and i’m So blessed He has given me the Holy Spirit, as He has with you and many others. I thank you for what you have done, and thank you for following the Lord. You have shown many people the way of the Lord. Old and young. You showed me when it was time to make a decision why I should be Catholic rather than just a Christian. The Lord led me to your videos after praying for days asking for resolution. I ask this of you, although you are busy, do some research or use the knowledge you have already. What are the two witnesses? And is it true that the Holy Spirit will come down again in a way in which we have never seen? The Holy Spirit is with us, all who believe and it shows us the Lords truth and provides wisdom, courage, knowledge,understanding,counsel,piety, and fear of the Lord our God. If anyone experiences this, they have the Spirit within them, I’m sure you would testify to that. But I ask you will the Holy Spirit come down upon the two witnesses as it says in (Revelation 11:3) I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I speak to you as my brother what I said is true, and I ask you this question because out of everyone; I think you could answer it truthfully. Besides the Lord himself, but He has led me here so I look forward to hearing back from you. May God continue to bless you, and all of us, I pray many unbelievers come watch your videos, because with the Holy Spirit you will lead them to God. Thank you and thank you Lord Jesus Christ for leading me to You and leading all your sheep of the pasture to You the good Shepard. All Glory to You Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much Father Mike for making time to explain difference between joy and happiness . It is inspiring and assuring knowing Jesus is always with us 🙏 God bless you 🙏😀
I wonder why but I was born it seems with joy yet had plenty of difficult times. When I pray I give thanksgiving for Joy. It’s a mystery to me. My older relatives have told me I was always that way. I don’t work on it, it’s just there. I agree! Joy is better than happiness.
Thank you, Father Mike, for this beautiful message. Last week, we said goodbye to my mother so this message is well received and very much appreciated. Thank you again.
Truthfully, this video brought more than JOY in my heart. It brought HOPE, LOVE FOR GOD, FAITH in our Faith! God bless you Fr Mike. May The Lord protect you and help you keep doing what you're doing for His kingdom!
I am filled with angst and uncertainty about my results lord, I was so angry and frustrated today because I had to wait for a lot longer than expected. I wanted relief and happiness but perhaps joy is what I'm made for. I will wait and rejoice in whatever is in store for me. I will wait in christ for that result day. A terribly impatient 20 something here.
Don't ever stop making these videos, we're grateful
Last week my priest said, "If you know me, you know that I am not a happy person. But happiness is not a virtue!"
"We long for happiness but we're made for joy." YES! Every Fr. Mike video is so. on. point.
Joy is when I wake up and I automatically just start thanking the Lord. I've been down so long since my Brother died, that when I wake up with Joy in my heart, I know who was the One who put it there.
I don't understand why people hate cloudy, rainy days... People say that they are depressing and gloomy, but I find them to be very beautiful, especially because it never rains where I live. I only get to experience rain not even a handful of times each year.
No one can hide from my sights
I used to think the same, till I got wifi.
It may be bc it is a low pressure system and people can actually feel it.
@@sandragrace4613 I think you are over thinking it just a bit. Haha.
The rain disrupts alot of plans and people don't want to get their clothes wet. Even walking outside in the rain is a hassle.
@@debaterofeverythingpresent2775 Yeah, I guess for many it does ruin plans. But I love going out when it's rainy; the days are so peaceful and quiet when it rains, and the gray clouds are beautiful. The only bad thing about rain, for me, is the danger it can cause for drivers.
I look at the crucifix and I know how much He loves me.
This is so, so true. When people say, "I just want you to be happy" it feels well intentioned but sets a weirdly unattainable standard and leaves me feeling like I'm falling short I really, really appreciate Fr.

I was YAAASSSSSS-ing to this whole message. Praise God
Dear Father God, Please protect Fr. Mike Schmidt keep him safe and let him know he is loved. Fr. Mike is teaching the world we currently live in about your love. In the name of Jesus Amen
Father Son Holy Spirit
To me Joy is knowing that no matter where I am in life and or death I have the arms of Jesus and His Mother embracing me The heavenly host of Angels and Saints support me and pray for me And I am not alone I am with you and with my loved ones who have gone before in the everlasting embrace of God's love That is my Joy
God bless you Father Mike
After watching this video I got goosebumps. The message is simple but impactful.
Hi! I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I encountered this channel about a month ago. I’ve been watching all of your videos ever since. Great content.
As a native Southern Californian, I love cloudy and rainy days SO much since they’re such a refreshing and rare occasion
Our happiness is rooted in our souls but our joy is rooted in our spirit.
God the Father... grace...
Jesus- God the Son... love...
Holy Spirit... joy...
I am known to my Creator, my Savior and my Paraclete. My heart swells with gratitude, for I am Saved. Thank you Lord. Amen.
Joy is Jesus with me ❤️
It reminds me of a childhood song. "I got joy 4× down in my heart 3× to stay" God Bless Father Mike"
Love life, love people and love God.
Love life=love people=love God.
God Bless ❤️
what a gift of God UR Fr. Mike
God bless n Protect you
Right now I am not sure if I’ll be able to continue another semester of college due to outside forces so this video helped me a lot to give me peace. Thank you Fr. Mike!
Ohhh, I wish you the outcome that’s Gods intention. It took me 20 years to get my BA & MA. I don’t have any complaint. God knows my name. No regrets.

Thanks Fr. Mike, I really needed this video today.
I absolutely love these videos and they come at the times i need them most! The Holy Spirit is truly working through you!
THANK YOU FR MIKE FOR SHARING I ALSO NEED JOY LIVING FULFILING IN CHRIST AND IN MOTHER MARY
Fr I have been a victim of my own success and you have have beaten my addiction.
I have always believed in NIL SINE LABORE
Thank you so much and realise now that although success I’m life is important our success is measured in other ways.
No more addiction and fallen into the devil empty promises.
Thank you
ironically I just talked about this this past weekend at a high school fall retreat! beautiful truth

I can sense his presence and I know there's way more of his love for us if we only give praise, thanks and our time. It's our choice and never too late as long as we can breathe.
Proclaim to the world 'Christ is our Joy!'
- Blessed Pope Paul VI
You just reminded me of Bach's "Jesus, joy of man's desiring". Beautiful, I'm going to listen to it right now.
Did anyone else think of the For King and Country song "Joy"? :D Thanks Fr. Mike for spreading such a simple but beautiful message of joy!! God bless you!!
Fr. Mike, may God bless you always🙏...
"Beyond happiness & unhappiness there is Peace."
Eckhart Tolle
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
God bless you. God is Joy and we were made to share in that Joy for all eternity.
Thank you so much for this message....lesson. needed desperately in todays world.
Absolutely beautiful praise god - thank you Fr.Mike
You always have the right thing to say at the right time - truly blessed fr mike! Thanks some more for being there!
I choose joy!
The Joy of the Lord is my strength.
I totally agree with you Paisley, I love rainy days! Rain is so important! My friends make fun of me and call me Martia Adams because I like cloudy, rainy days, sunny days actually annoy me in a way I don't every go in the sun.
Thank you so much Father Mike 😊 and thank you JESUS.
Can’t live without my lord, I feel like I have pick up a telephone and had a conversation with him.
You are my savour Fr Mike
What a great view of our lives with Jesus in them.
God bless you, Father Mike. 🙏🕊️❤️🔥
Thank for updating the slogan on my diocesan conference. Great conference but we were made for... JOY!
Everything you said Fr Mike linked to everything that has been happening in my life and this week!

This is the lesson I've needed. Thank you Fr Mike
Thank You Father. May God Bless You. Amen
"Comment below!... And, be joyful, you know?" Will do Father.
Absolute truth.
Have a joyfull sunday Fr Mike and to you all 🙏🕊
Yes! This is exactly why we "go out to all the world and tell the good news!"
God made it so that I hear this today. Not on the day it was published but today. Thankful for your videos and for the vocation of the priesthood
Wow!!! 6:00 got me. That we can have joy and peace thru everything. God bless you Father Mike
God bless you Father Mike! I always learn from these videos! May the holy spirit continue to work through you!

You always seem to make these videos exactly when I need them. Thank you for everything father, you're a true inspiration
Too blessed to be stressed! I'm JOYFUL because Jesus loves me and He is with me always!
Thank you!!! My goodness how to explain how I needed to hear this today. Still, I am always looking for that fleeting happiness and forget what true joy really is. God Bless You Father, will pray for you, please pray for me.

Thank you again. Fr. Mike. I have come to rely on your videos to be able to explain more clearly what the Gospels and the Church teaches. I have come to this realization about happiness. I don’t tell my kids to be happy because just like you said it’s a false notion of self focus. They are chasing to find something that is by chance. Joy is a completely different thing. Thank you for clarifying. God Bless you. I pray I could one day meet you. That would bring me so much joy. Enjoy your day.
Thank you for sharing this fr.
God bless you always.
Thanks you Father Mike. Jesus = Joy
Thank father Mike...thank you for sharing
Happiness and joy comes from inside the more you search for it the further away it will always be.
God is good God is good all the time

We are grateful for these "snippets" of wisdom. ...#onward

I love cloudy days! I'm happier when it's cloudy than when it's sunny. ;)
Thank you, Father Mike, for this beautiful message. Last week, we said goodbye to my mother so this message is well received and very much appreciated. Thank you again.
WHAT A CONSOLATION.THANK YOU.BLESS YOU.GOD WITH YOU
This gives me strength knowing that Jesus loves me
I loved this talk at the Made For Happiness assembly in Lansing and could listen to it over and over again on here!
Thank you!
Truthfully, this video brought more than JOY in my heart. It brought HOPE, LOVE FOR GOD, FAITH in our Faith! God bless you Fr Mike. May The Lord protect you and help you keep doing what you're doing for His kingdom!
Thanks Fr. Mike for your message and your visit to Lansing !
Praise be to God! That Im rejoicing in the Lord! Thank you Fr Mike! This was awesome!
Wow! I needed to hear this message today! Thanks, Fr. Mike!
I’m so grateful for your videos!
Amen🙏🙏🙏. Jesus, son of God is always the answer. Thank you, Father Mike for the video.
I am filled with angst and uncertainty about my results lord, I was so angry and frustrated today because I had to wait for a lot longer than expected. I wanted relief and happiness but perhaps joy is what I'm made for. I will wait and rejoice in whatever is in store for me. I will wait in christ for that result day. A terribly impatient 20 something here.
Amen! Great video, God will never leave our side:)
Thank you, Fr Mike! This is absolutely awesome❤
Cloudy days make me happy.
Ren and Stimpy knew it all along; Happy Happy Joy Joy, Fr. Mike!
Stimpy was the only one who practiced joy, sadly.
