As a fairly new Catholic, last 7 years of my 61 years of life, I appreciate Priests like Father O'Connor who speak God's truth in love, but also with sound doctrine and not sugar coating what needs to be said. We don't have homilies like this in our local Parish, so I'm glad I came across this channel awhile back. God bless you Father and everyone else!
I was convicted years ago. As a child my daughter who suffers from handicapp would not stay to visit anywhere so we would put Walt Disney movies on for her. I was careful to fast forward any scenes that could be frightening but still the movies had a very negative impact. I got everything out of the house when she was 10. She is now 27 and still struggles because of an overload of images in her head. They became an idol for her. I have repented and spent the passed seventeen years teaching her all about Jesus. We have given up the visits to care for her. I say this because I don't think we realize that even the shows that don't have PG on them may be keeping our children from putting God first😢 I thank God for Your message today. Please forgive us Father, we really don't always know what we are doing. Amen.
@@robertmcginness4610 So true... What the happened to stories like Pinocchio? That story was practically the Gospel for little kids... What great truth was there... To then lean towards garbage like Fantasia... 🤮
My husband still at the age of 75, still watches pornography, we are no longer together. I thought for the longest time that he had ceased watching it, but realized a few years back that I was mistaken. That isn’t the only problem or interference in our marriage, but it’s enough that it sickens me.
You are a blessing Fr. Mike. I follow your homilies regularly and I thank God for this platform where you are sharing God's word and your reflections with so many people. Thank youu
So well said and Soo very needed on our society today. Billions of souls are lost to pornography. Pray 🙏 the Rosary every day and have Faith in Jesus Christ.
You are an excellent homilist.clear as crystal honest open not afraid Keep it up you temind me of the late saintly Father Mark Beard .l know you knew him.what a PRIEST OF GOD ...I PRAY TO HIM.
Thank you for your wisdom. We are new grandparents to a precious baby boy. What a timely homily. I pray for our families and for God to give us wisdom as we navigate living in a fallen world
What a beautiful Church. While living in Biloxi(2x) we went to Our Lady of Fatima. Thank you for all your inspiring homilies. Please come visit Corpus Christi in Colorado Spgs.
Thank you Fr.Mike for your Guidance and Support ✝️ Thank you for dealing with these difficulties of this modern world God Bless you and everyone who listens to your words ✝️
"If we confess our sins we receive forgiveness"... we often forget that. I can forgive and love all but sometimes to protect yourself you must also guard your heart and love them from a distance.
Thank you Father for saying what is so difficult to say! We need to stay away from the TV and social media as much as we can. Both have become dangerous paths when we are not vigilant about what what we watch or read.
Father Mike... Every time we pray the Joyful Mysteries, and get to the the 5th Mystery I always think about how much I would have loved to be a bug on the wall hearing the child Jesus' questions and remarks. In fact, I wonder if some of His questions were "correcting", as in "Are you sure that's what scripture teaches?"
It’s true. The Holy Innocents martyrdom must have been still fresh on the hearts and minds of people when Mary and Joseph anxiously searched for Jesus.
Preach it Father. You exposed me. I needed to hear this. I’ve been to lenient with my children regarding cell phone use and the internet. Lord Jesus give me the strength to raise my children according to your will.
Thank you Fr Mike What I homily. Truly many lessons to learn from. All parents must wake up , it’s never too late to start corrective measures… yes it’s not easy but we can try.
When evil thoughts and images appear against your will-pray the following: When under spiritual attack Precious blood wash over me Jesus Mary Saint Joseph Saint Maria goretti Guardian angel help me Then think of something calm and pleasant Thanks father
I was not the mother I should have been. But I changed. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And He is working and hopefully changing my children. You must clean the flit out of home and life. Thank you, Father, for your words. Please keep preaching them
Thank you for always giving the best sermon Fr Mike. Your words are like a feast for my spirituality and faith.....whereas i only get crumbs from my local churches. So many thank yous, Fr Mike..
dear lord, don't let me be sad that father ben is leaving. let me be truly happy for him. please always protect him and resign him back to us .oh yes. that would be nice. thank you lord.
Sad to say that part of my family has mostly disowned me. We had no real discussion about it. What happened to forgiveness? What happened to the Fourth Commandment? I pray for them every day.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Our Lord asked questions in order to make to other person think more deeply about Holy Scripture just like the Greek philosopher Socertes, it's a great way to teach while staying humble.
What if the parent is emotionally abusive? there is a moment in the bible mentioned where family is not gonna get along with each other brother will be agains brother. It hurts because I come from a broken family and it hurts to love and forgive them. Frankly I need to keep a healhty distance to preserve my sanity. Thank you Father Mike for talking about these things. God bless.
I sure wish the church had a family plan. So many kids wander around clueless. No idea how to build a family. Then end up in a bad marriage or no marriage.

You are a good Father! Thank you Father Mike!

I went to a local church today for the first time in 53 years same wonderful sermon, family day is everyday xxx
Wow that's a long time I'm very pleased to hear that.
Glad you came to Church. Welcome
Welcome back! ❤✝
Thank you Fr. O'Connor for calling pornograhy, adultery!
Thank you Father Mike for speaking boldly. You are my spiritual father and I keep you in my prayers. ❤
Hello from West Virginia, how I wish the priests from this state will have the courage to speak just like you do. We need more like you.
When under spiritual attack say “Glory be to the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit”. The devil will keep away because he won’t like you praising God.
Thank you. God Bless You.
A true Priest. I am always happy to hear Father Mike O'Connor's sermons. My family too. From Erinville 🍀, Nova Scotia
Amen! Thank you Father!
From New Mexico: your Prayer was answered, you have been a good Father to me!
Fr Mike - May God abundantly BLESS you! Would that every priest preach the Truth without compromise. Thank you!!!

You're still married if it wasn't annulled.
@ you’re right I know that but he out of house.
The Family that prays together stays together. Get rid of the TV. Current affairs and news are all negative. Read the Bible.
Y.T video: all DNA for everyone has 10-5-6-5 pattern, the corresponding Hebrew letters = YHWH.
YAHWEY, God. God signed everyone's body YAHWEY in every Strand of DNA, in every cell of every person. Ever.
It's a convenient babysitter. Sad.
