My husband & I were non practicing Catholics for over 40 years. Last month he texted me the Hallow app so we could compete in the Daily Quiz. Slowly I began to poke around the app - just looking. But the more I looked and listened to Father Mike, the more my mind & heart opened to God. One day I told my husband, “I want God in my life. I want to walk with Jesus. And I want to go to confession and Mass.”
“I thought you’d never ask,” he said.
Thank you God for working through Father Mike. I foolishly gave up on you for so many years, but you never gave up on me. Thank you.
Welcome home!!! 🙏❤️🕊❤️🙏
This is beautiful!
That is so sweet.
Awesome!!
Bless you ❤️
Forgive me father for I am sometimes dry in prayer. Please nourish my prayer life❤

1 John 1 kJV
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
✝️ The gospel of your salvation 🩸
Ephesians 1 kJV
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
1 Corinthians 15 kJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 3 kJV
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
@@AlexanderBrown77 WoW and I thank you for your generous reply and Gospel references!! I read and re-read coz those passages are speaking TO ME😊 God knows I want a deeper relationship w/the Holy Trinity. As a returning Catholic, I truly have faith in Him. Yet I am wobbly and doubtful sometimes. I think the devil is trying to take me back. It is a daily fight we must face everyday, to avoid transgression and listen to God. Thx again, friend
@@gvh4168 ♥️ have a wonderful day.
1 John 5 kJV
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
@@AlexanderBrown77 You seem to know the right thing to say! Amen
Hi Dr Mike great job I have a question I only remember the Lord's prayer I don't remember the other ones can you please help me I read and pray every day I read the Bible every morning thanks✝️❤️🙏
TAR.............
the process of going to confession:
TELL God
ASK for forgiveness
RELY on God
Amen.....pray
Fr. Mike, I am continually impressed by your charisma and how you use it to minister to us. I’m praying for you; please pray for me. Thanks be to God for you reaching out to us. It makes a difference.
Am a senior, have all free time to say prayer everyday, especially the rosary. Offering it for peace in the world, peace in families, for hostilities to end, for all good intentions of humanity.
Simple and helpful. Thank you, Padre.
I thank God for Fr. Mike to clearly explain TAR, Amen
Pray the Rosary daily.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Lord help me.say 3 full hail Mary properly
@@bambeeqgc3586Say them any way you can, it's the effort that's important. Before you know it you'll be saying the rosary daily. Don't worry about perfection, Our Lady will take them and make them perfect and present them to Our Lord.
I went to Eucharistic Adoration 2 days ago. First I prayed the prayer before the cross. Then I told Him how wonderful it was to be with Him. And thanked Him for everything in my life. Then I asked Him to just talk to me. Of course I couldn’t hear His voice so I would just say little things then tell myself to be still.
The next day I awoke with a few prayers and started about my day, which is being lazy and playing games on my phone. I knew I had things to do but started ignoring them. Until I felt this gentle, loving prodding and without a thought went and cleaned the dishes and counter tops. The whole day went like that. For the first time in ages I could feel His presence.
Going back tonight for more “talk”🥰🙏
I was recently gifted a blessed miraculous medal by a friend, my prayer life has been transformed…🙏🏻
Thank you Father Mike for sharing this message with us today.
Thank you Fr. Mike! This will help to organize my thoughts in prayer for sure.
I prayed for you to God. In my infancy of faith you have taught me a lot I thank you
TAR, I believe, will help fill the potholes in life.
😂
Father Mike would you give us your blessing at the end of your talk? It’ so powerful and helps get me through the day! There I just practiced T- A- R.
I needed this so badly, God-sent!
Thank you, padre
Thank you Fr. Mike
Every time I go to confession I become a beginner. I go to confession... a lot, 😬
@@Call_Upon_YAH you realize in that same breath by quoting your kjv, you're admitting there's multiple bibles. Also, the kjv came from the first Catholic bible. You know, the bible that the holy Spirit guided the writers and the Catholic Church that put the bible together. But, I guess Luther knew better than the Holy Spirit when he decided to remove books and add at least one word and by doing so made the kjv contradict itself. The bible can't contradict itself, the problem is, Luther's does. Hope that helps
@@Call_Upon_YAHye that be self-righteous, quitteth ye posthaste with thine ridiculous copypasta!
Have you heard of the term beginners mind where you come from a place of humility and with fresh eyes? That’s a beautiful thing! 👏
Can you pray to relatives that have passed?
@@bethanne558cooke7 don't quote me but I believe I remember father Chris saying you can, but it's better to pray for them because none of us know if our relatives made it for sure. He said, it's better to pray to Mary and the saints for their intercession and of course to Jesus as well
Simple and really helpful 😮thank you Padre 🙏
I ❤this video, I agree with you Father, communication is the key in relationships so yes I talk to God, Jesus and Virgin Mary all the time❤️
Boy do I rely on your wisdom!
So super, Fr. Mike! This is really really helpful! Thank you for your great guidance! Praying for you every day!

Thank you for this, Fr. Mike. This helped me today.
Father thank you .
Amen God is good all the time Amen all the time God is good Amen thank you Lord Jesus Amen ❤🎉
Father Mike you make my day ❤️🙏
I needed this today. Thank you
It's not corny, Fr Mike, it's useful to have a way to remember to pray. Thank you. God bless. Claire.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, for being an Apostle through the internet 🙏
Finally, I know where to start. As a beginner in praying I did not know how it was possible for the "pros" to spend several hours praying, but after watching this, I better understand it. Thank you father Mike!

Thank You. father Mike
You always make things so simple
God Bless You 🙏
all I ask is to be shown the right path to walk, I will walk it myself, and I will trust the Lord, for the Lord is my rock.
I have to always remember the Our Father because it says it all. Your will be done. That's it. I talk to The Blessed Holy Trinity daily and pray the He will take care of everything 🙏.
GOD IS LIFE
Messages from you brighten my day. God bless you Fr.
I love the corn bread and I love and pray for Father Mike. You’re the best, well next to my priest Father Aaron Junge. God bless you both. Thank you.
I really needed this.
Dear God, I welcome the gift of this day. Incline my heart and my every step toward that which pleases you. Send me to be a blessing to someone, somewhere, somehow. And may I see the face of Jesus in the people I meet. Amen❣
If God is your copilot
switch seats.
Thank you Fr Mike. God bless🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
This was very helpful father thank you. Still struggle in my weakness, sometimes I think I’m afraid to expose myself this much to the Lord. 🥺🙏🏼❤️🔥
My journy to Jesus is slow (as I asked for). I suddenly thought it is time to pray and do so not as a one off, but a first of many. I searched Prayer for beginners and found this first. I take it as a sign, because not only does it feel welcoming and true, I also happen to have the Name Michael after the Nickname of my father and the Lastname Schmitz. So I listen to Father Mike Schmitz and all makes sense. Thanks to you and the Lord.
Thanks for this
Thank you Fr. Mike. The ultimatum goal is resurrection and many of us know that. We are however so afraid of the journey that gets us there. The hursts, falls, failures. So, it is often difficult to allow the idea that God always has a “happy end” for us, take over the terrifying “now”. Yet, without this “now” we can’t get to the “happy end”. God knows this and that is why He gives us bearers of the Good News like you. May the Holy Spirit continue to infuse you with His wisdom.
Great video! Thank you Father!
Thank you Father Mike..FOR I needs MY LORD GUIDANCE TO PRAY
What Father Is Absolutely Right ❤
Amen amen. God is good 🙏🏽
Can you do a deeper dive on what "rely on God" means?
Rely on what? How do you know you are relying on the correct thing?
We still have to act. Its not like we say we are relying on him and the sit there motionless for hours or days until god takes over control of our faculties and bodies and does what we needed for us. So while we are engaged in the relevant action, how do you distinguish what you are reliant on versus what action you supplying yourself and do so accurately?
Even if you achieve what you asked for, how do you know your prayer had any impact? What if you were just capable all along and you just did the action yourself?
We obviously don't want to take credit for things god provides, but we also don't want to see god in things he isn't doing, as we might miss what he actually intended.
So how do you determine what actually to rely on and not what you think god means?
Thanks
God bless you, Father. I needed this today.
Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to share something a pastor taught me: “HBO.” Pray & ask the Lord what it is that we’re to HEAR, what it is we’re to BELIEVE, & what is it we’re to OBEY. God bless.🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Father for this message.🙏
God put us on this earth to grow. When asking God how to master the obstacles in your way, first ask Him what He would like you to do.
So thankful for your guidance!
Thank you Father Mike ❤️
Thank-.you Father Mike. Direction and clarity … I need so much to keep on the path, to stay strong.❤
Thank you father 🙏
This is such a beautiful message for many of us! The process helps many to find where to begin.❤
Good message, but I would add another "R" on the end of TAR. The additional"R" is for "Receive.". Receive what you have asked for in advance of manifestation, and praise God for it, and watch it manifest.😊
That’s cool!!!! I like that!
❤
You move my very soul Father Mike.
St. Padre Pio's version is 'Pray, hope and do not worry.' :)
Father Mike.. you’re the best!
Thank you for such clarity ✝️🙏🏻🌹
God bless you Fr. Mike!
Thankyou For Mike.
Thank you God bless you!
I’m not frustrated with anything. God does whatever he does. I do what I can do. Usually I need to do extra to get what needs done, done. Do I care that God doesn’t have any consistency? No. He does what he does and I do what I do.
That’s so cool I like it
I am in Ethiopia and I want to keep Injera in Ethiopia 🦁 and Waha or Water in my Land Of The Lion Of Judah 🦁! I LOVE YOU My CATHOLIC GOD and Villanova Preparatory High School 🦁🎸⚽️⛪️!
Amen
Great video father mike. Good to see you God bless.
Thank you 😊❤🙏💝
ST. MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA: “We create all kinds of difficulties in our prayer. Let us go back to what Jesus has taught - the intimate and simple prayer: ‘Our Father...’ Even little children can pray this.”
Nice acronym 👍
I like the explanation.
I will definitely try this! Thanks Fr Mike! 🙏
Thank you so much
Thank you,🙏🏻
Greetings Father Mike,
Thoughts :-
-> Message reflect with, "Prayers cultivate Pure, Progressive Faith with Patience and Humility towards Lord Jesus Christ in every sense in all aspects."
-> Thanks Father for Thoughtful Message on Spiritual Examen.
With regards and Prayers,
Ranjith Joseph (R.J)
T.A.R my way through. My burdens are light. He makes the tar; to smooth out everything; like the pot holes. They give flat tires. Now, in the Evangelical circles: there is a similar prayer: ASK. Ask, Seek, and Knock. But you do not get the new revelation; as a new Catholic for beginners; is this prayer; that God is going to smooth it out; take out all the pot holes. I am a beginner; and I need it.
@@whereeverthemind There's a road that leads to perdition; Watch and pray; that you'll not be caught with your journey of prayer; or your work be found; incomplete; UNDONE. the devil like a roaring lion roams the earth; seeking; his perverted prayer; to pervert the word of God; prayers for selfish gain; like tarot cards; seeking whom he may devour. The opposite is Light; Jesus seeking for those who will give their hearts to; and worship in spirit and in -Truth.
@@whereeverthemind I am sorry if I came across strong. You probably were asking a simple question.
Anyone here struggle with the guilt of waiting too long for having kids only to find out it was too late now? Too scared in our younger years and too late in our 30s because nothing happened. We are in our 50s. She’s ok with it and I’m riddled with guilt at times. Is that something I will be severely judged with when I pass over? I’m not Catholic but I am Christian. I could kick my own head in for my being too scared back in my 20s. Anyone else pass on kids only to be tormented later in life with guilt and regret?? I need a link, advice or a group online I can join with others who are plagued with guilt and remorse. Is my choice back then a decision that will be a sentence for me? I’ve repented now for years. When I see old home videos of her family that is when the burden hits like a tractor trailer. They never became grandparents. Yeah….I did that to them!
God knows your pain and your struggles. Have you been to confession? It might help with the pain.
Awesome 😊. Thank you Fr. Mike 😊
🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I need to ask God to heal my broken heart. My husband cheated. I don’t know if I want to struggle any more. The pain of know what he did hurts so much. God, should I leave my marriage now because my heart can’t heal ?
My heart aches reading this. Your pain comes through. I’m praying that you have healed somewhat by now, and that God is helping you.
Sending you a hug.
Janice 🙏
Not cornbread. Love this!
i cant look at you without laughing! you are literally laughing behind your eyes when you preach lol. you crack me up.
His smile lights up my screen!!!
Make it a sweet TART and throw some Thanksgiving at the end.
I love that suggestion thank you!
🙏❤🙏
Amsgenalwe/it meansmore than thankyou/
For l want to learn how to 🙏.
Forgive me father for I have sinned
And✨ When the disciple asked Jesus how should we pray? Christ then taught what is now called the Lord's prayer.✨
Father Mike I have a pair question I hope you can answer I come from a Mexican family majority catholic almost all Christian my grandmother may she rest was catholic and grandfather may he rest was a Christian pastor who spread the word of god as far as I can tell both were baptized in the church my mother grew up mostly baptist like her father not really apart of a denomination but I seem drawn to Catholicism I can’t explain it but I drawn to it like metal and a magnet anyways two arguments or rather concerns my mother has with Catholicism is first the purpose of baptism she not against baptism but rather the reason being the original sin if jesus died for our sins how could we have original sin and the second being venerating saints the especially the Virgin Mary she believes that only Jesus our lord should be worship and prayed too
These are concerns that I too have could you help me with these questions ?
This is so hard for me. I hear nagging if I start telling them about the day. But this might be a good thing to start during lent.
I love this message, and the acronym. But I think a roof would be a better example than a road. I know that asphalt looks like it has tar in it, but that's actually bitumen, not tar.
Tar is used in roofing and on shingles.
But either way, I love your message.
Tell -Ask- Receive with faith 🙏
hahaha good one Father Mike.
🙏🕯🌹🕊❤️
