I look forward to your homilies every Sunday. They do not compare to anyone else's. Help me Lord Jesus to have the Holy Spirit by my side always, but especially when doubt sets in. Let me never doubt your love for me during trials and tribulations.
Thank you Fr. Mike for tackling the hard part of the Gospel 'and some doubted'. Yes, keeping my eye on Jesus literally and figuratively keeps me on track. The enemy is relentless but Jesus is the Victor and His Help is immediate. Asking your guardian angel for help is also very helpful. ' Guardian Angel help me.'
Thank you for this beautiful Homily Father Mike… I always say a Hail Mary for you during the consecration at mass. Your homilies have helped me so much to get closer to my Catholic faith; I listen to them every week, and they always seem to resígnate to what I’m going through. You are such a light, and I’m praying for you and all priests everyday. ♥️
Beautiful homily. I look back and see His presence during the rough times when I couldn't understand why I suffered. I now understand and I can never doubt again.
Today May 18th, 2023, is the Feast of the Ascension, The Ascension of Jesus, Ascension Thursday, Holy Thursday, or Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord - this is a Christian holiday that doubles as a public holiday in many countries like Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, and more. It is 40 days from the Resurrection of Christ Jesus, and then 10 days later, will be the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came down upon the Apostles in the Upper Room.
Beautiful homily. I am also like the 4 year old that asks “why to everything” but at this stage in my spiritual journey, sometimes I have to let my ego go and say to myself “what will this knowledge benefit my, or others soul? Is it for my own knowledge or God’s?” Or “I am truly an ant compared to God’s mind and knowledge. How can an ant understand God’s logic?” And finally, with the church and things I may not agree with “the church is like my parent. I may not agree all of the time, but I must pick my battles, and let it go” Keep asking questions my brothers and sisters, but make sure they are for God’s glory and not your own. Peace be with you all
The story of Peter who was walking on the water toward Jesus, but when he focused on the wind and the waves, Peter began to sink and Jesus had to come to his rescue is a perfect example of the word "doubt" which is intermittent faith. Therefore, we need to put our trust steadfastly in God and ask God to lead and guide us according to His will while we focus on Jesus' words, "... and behold I'm with you always until the ages." Mathew 28:16-20.
"Faith is not a feeling…doubt is not a feeling. With faith we submit our lives to God…despite our hesitation. Start doing the necessary things and asking questions…keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus who will answer our how."
Greetings Father Mike, Thoughts :- -> Message reflect with Evangelical Life of Apostles and One's Own New hope through the Path of Lord Jesus Christ in every Aspects of Life. -> Good Homily,Father.. Thanks.. Special Mention (Local Parish) :- -> Ascension Sunday Homily reflect with Evangelical Life starts from Own Self through Faithful prayers before Lord Jesus Christ in every aspect of Life. With regards and Prayers for Everyone, Ranjith Joseph (R.J)
I’ve come to understand this revealed in my personal experience, I have one student/friend that has complete faith in me, as she has witness numerous times when situations have been spirit led, then I have another student/friend that similarity has walked through life with me witnessing things that I have been given by God, and the truths, yet last year upon living with her, she asks me questions countless times, at first thinking it was sincerely asking, yet coming to know now, it was doubting, it was as a gauge to how I’ll respond and what I say, as a measure of her own ability, she would not say her feelings directly, yet ultimately truth was revealed of the things she thought and judged within, situations revealed in the choices she made, or boastful attitude. Doubt and question is indeed different. One is for purpose of pride as well as insecurities. // The faith of my other student/faith organically led her to RCIA.

I have always been under the impression the apostles doubted themselves, not Jesus. They wondered how it could be possible for them to do what the Lord instructed them to do.
Wait, maybe some people are making circular arguments but I find most people, at least in my experience, and even 4 year olds are trying to understand. I say if you really want to talk about "why" you have to go to bed, we can talk about it in the morning cause I need my sleep. I suppose we can ask ourselves are we stalling or don't know how to proceed (you said "hesitant"). There is an unknown world out there every day and the disciples were used to following rather than leading. Come Holy Spirit!!! And, do those come with training wheels. I may as well be fit with them for life. I'm currently listening to "Bible in a Year " (BIY). I am on day 263 and I now freak out that I am going to hell. Because everything God or a prophet describes as wrong is me and then those verses are followed by those who act like this will go to where there is "gnashing of the teeth." It's odd, as a scientist I believe that God is the big IT. No doubt. But I find these thoughts sneaking in that are very smart aleck about how God is doing things from what I am hearing in BIY. This is the thing, I KNOW God is beyond my imagination capable. I think I am frustrated because I need the world to be right. ME to be right. Long story, so I talked to God, asked for mercy for having a smart mouth. I was very scared to consciously admit this to Him. I told Him I have to bring out the 'dirty laundry' or I will never get to what the problem is. I think I found out it was a problem with patience, trust, weakness. I have problems. Please pray for me. Signed, Cradle Catholic.
We are supposed to be in line with Melchizedek and some speculate that since his Father and Mother were not recorded, not known he came from another star system/planet. I think God accepts Jesus's offer to save us after Adam and Eve's fall to restore innocence and eventually sent the Holy Comforter after Jesus had to leave. We are saved by adoption into that sacred family that Melchizedek was foreshadowing with the wine and bread on the battle field. We are saved from a being of Et's who do not know the holy directions, truth, goodness, faith, joy, love. We are set apart from the civilizations they already had on earth-no cannibalism, no human sacrifice (Jesus was the last blood sacrifice), no child sacrifice or even animal sacrifice, no magic, sorcery, false gods, nor graven images. Each commandment, direction, is a path away from the godlessness of ET cultures of not God. There's a lot of other societies in this universe; Jesus told us "solemnly" we must be born into this adoptive sacred family after the first birth. Even at the entrance holy water font we remember this: "In the name of the Father, The Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit"--come into our hearts, give us the New Life in Christ. Let our "perfection" (per facere) be God working through us-making, doing, giving! In that way, we overcome Eden's fall and can become the new ways, the new character in Christ--in line with the Melchizedek of Genesis.
omg i came away to feed a baby and returned and the same words and only one thought I think this homily can be 2 minutes long :D I'd rather return again to the second part of a mass. You are just unkind in the inner core admit it :P
They with ears to hear, let them hear: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry. Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples! These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." Revelation 22:8-9 KJV 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.* 3 John 1:11 KJV 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.* 1 John 3:6-10 KJV 6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.* 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.* 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.* 10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

After 6 years of listening to fr MIke, doing the bible and the ccc in a year i have decided to convert to islam.
:D i have had too much coffee
Where do I find transcript
Love is not a feeling either.
