To whoever is reading this:
I hope you know that despite any storms you are going through, that God is with you and He loves you. Do not be afraid.
Thank you Grace Marie! 🙏🏼🥰
Amen! 🌹🌹 thank you Grace..
Thank you angel Grace Marie 😇
I really needed to read this thank you. 👍🙏
You need to understand Grace Marie, that God's grace and mercy are only for those who repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. God's wrath and hell are for unbelievers. Read John 3 : 17 onwards.
Father Mike is exactly what our young people need. Pray for him. He's amazing.
@Patrick Montgomery a
really????
Our young people do NOT need blatant lies and heresy.
@Patrick Montgomery Fantastic Patrick! I stand with you 100%
Good morning fr.Mike I'm sister mary. Beautiful son.im Listerine to you right now....

I am too! It's so exciting but requires so much courage and determination. I'm very ready for it. God bless you and your journey
God bless you and your journey as well!

Lori Thoelke praise the Lord!
omg, I am not even Catholic, but Fr. Mike has opened my eyes to Jesus and it is the TIME to get to WORK !!!! God Bless Fr. Mike !!!
Miguel Garcia I lpve to hear. Him
Praise God!
Welcome home!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@Patrick Montgomery whatever do you mean sir?
@Patrick Montgomery you're very incoherent.
If you believe I meant welcome home as in our final destination.... you MUST be a protestant. Sola Scriptura much?
I am a Protestant and listen to Fr Mike and Bishop Barron every day. My daily spiritual food ❤️
I've got a friend who was a PhD candidate in neuroscience. He loves the story of Jesus' healing of the blind man whom he heals in two stages-he opens his eyes and the man sees people "walking around like trees." Then Jesus heals him again and he sees like everyone else. What was amazing to this friend of mine, convincing him of Jesus' divinity-the story means Jesus healed his eyes, then healed his mind's ability to perceive (very much like the healing of the deaf man's tongue so he spoke regularly although he had no experience with hearing or making those sounds). That distinction between eyes' ability to see and the mind's ability to perceive wasn't known until the 20th century, yet there it is in ancient scripture!
I hope the Lord Jesus Christ protect Father Mike's priesthood.
@Patrick Montgomery Paul didn't give up, he died in service to the Lord :)
Jesus doesn't protect lies and heresy. He shows us TRUTH so we can expose it
@@colvinator1611 pls explain how he is lying

God won't protect heresy, lies and deception. Read what happens to the catholic 'church' in Revelation 18. Jesus destroys it.
Truly a man of God. If anyone can reach people in this day and age, it’s Fr. Mike. What a beautiful gift you are to the world. God bless you, Fr. Mike.
I'm here because I was hurt broken and disappointed. Jesus is my hope and conselation.
Young people who do not believe in God and Jesus need to listen to this Godly man, he is hysterical, so very knowledgeable, not to mention Gorgeous!! I love how he smiles when he talks!! I hope God knows how many non believers believe in him because of Father Schmidt. Father, if I were a millionaire I would pay you to talk to my non believer Son!! God bless you, I know you must be his favorite!!
Reach out to him… pray for your son. One day he will convert.
This talk really made me stop and evaluate how I'm living, not just in the holy parts of my day, but in all parts. I get too easily silenced by the critics among my family and friends who just immediately jump to how terrible Catholicism is. I want to share my new faith with them, but I allow myself to get shut down. The time for that cowardice is over. Thank you and God bless you, Father Mike.
I'm a convert too.
Your family may be more jealous than they are angry, though sometimes people get angry when they've challenged with having to reevaluate some things.
You know your faith. You don't need anyone's approval.
Welcome to the responsible for myself club!
❤️✝️🙏
He is the Best motivated Priest I have ever listened. Our entire Catholic Communities need to hear him. I definitely let others know how wonderful his teaching is.
The like button is just not enough
Christians pray to the Crist son of the living God . sorry but catholics are just praying to the pope .Research the holy word of God you'll see
Fr Mike is so Full of Love for Jesus, such a Grest Anointed Priest. I am sure Many Souls Saved by Fr Mike
Father Mike I’m Sixty Five years old next month n iam just nowopening my eyes to the Catholic Faith when I was younger we started off n the Latin Masses I remember feeling so close to JESUS now I’m trying so hard to get that connection back, thank you.
I am right there with you. I just had my first year anniversary back on Palm Sunday. I have been gone from the church for 50 years. Father Mike is responsible for sending me back to church.
I wanted to be Catholic for year before I went to RICA and my was confirmed.
If it took a lifetime for me to know how to live a Catholic life and I had one minute to live, I'd be grateful for that one minute of living a Catholic life.
Father right this was excellent I'm 72 years old
God has blessed you Father Mike, I am in the process of getting myself back to church after 4yr, and I am super excited about my new relationship with Christ, I am stronger and am becoming that warrior for Christ. Keep up the great work for God that you are doing, it is appreciated.
Patty Gilberg Praise God!
God bless you!
He's not working for Jesus, he's working for the vatican being the wore of babylon. Read Revelation 18 and see what happens to the catholic 'church'. Jesus destroys it!
when he is Pope I will be able to say he was who pulled me from the edge .. 💟 our world needs him .. his love of Christ is the answer to the fallen world we are witnessing.
He will be St. Michael of Duluth. He's truly a man of God.
@Patrick Montgomery cheers
GOD please protect Your Church, protect Fr. Mike and all the priests who courageously toil for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name we pray, with the intercession of our Blessed Mother, Amen.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
we really need to pray for our priests and that God may send more workers.
Ace Delizo I'm gonna be one of em!
Thomas Yourg go in peace, brother. when you get ordained, share us the good news. are you going to join a specific Congregation?
@@thomasyourg7734 God bless you and give you strength!
Not like the liars and heretics of catholicism He won't. Satan will.
@@colvinator1611 no but
Fr. Mike is doing exactly what God wants of him. He speaks the truth. God bless you Fr. Mike. I found you on UA-cam in 2018 You are a blessing. You have been transformed and through your ministry, you’ve helped so many turn to Christ.
I am listening to the Bible in a Year with you. Thank you for all you do for everyone. May we all look like Jesus! You are in my prayers.
I admit I was doubtful of my catholic faith but this talk and another talk on the eucharist by fr Mike has made me closer to GOD..I strongly recommend this to anyone who may doubt the catholic faith
Thank you Father Mike Schmitz. I'm falling in love with Jesus more and more each day. I go to Adoration and pray to Jesus. "I want to love you more each day" I'm learning more about what Mass really is all about and the Eucharist. Now with this Covid 19 and we cannot attend Mass if we are 65 and older with underlying conditions. It is very sad for me and I cry and I know Jesus is listening to my heart and Jesus cries with me. Adoration just opened for 2 people at a time. We sign up and as long as there is not a group or crowd I can attend. AWESOME!! Our Priests brings us the Eucharist every Thursday morning if we call and ask them to come. We are blest to belong to the Catholic Church of St. Peter's here in North St. Paul. Our Priests are from Italy and they love all of us and they know what it means to attend to their flock. Our parish is large and they take the time to come to our home, I look forward to our Thursday's.
Listening to Father Mike's talks on the Eucharist, Mass and confession has opened my heart and is helping me to grow more each day. I pray someday I could go to confession to Father Mike. I really believe I was confessing to Jesus. Father Mike is blest with the Holy Spirit, he has a quiet spirit and loves like Jesus loves!! I will keep listening to Father Mike's talks. Father Mike is walking and talking the truth. I pray for him everyday. Gods blessing on each of you and every new day you encounter. Thank you Jesus for Father Mike!!
I’m not Catholic but I enjoy your teaching Truly anointed man of God
Thank you, Fr. Mike. I was Catholic back in the 90's and then became an Episcopalian, but I am glad I found Fe. Mike's UA-cam videos. Such a blessing and he helps open my mind to better understanding of others, God and our world. God bless Fr. Mike and his ministry outreach
I would not be single in my 60s if there were more men of faith like Father Mike.
Father Mike is exactly what the Catholic Faith need. He helped me reaffirm my beliefs. He is a true light in the world!
Thank you Fr. Mike!!! I am praying for good/benign results for my husband’s biopsy’s today!!! Amen!!!
What a beautiful explanation of how Jesus offers Himself as the One. Amazing the gift Fr. Mike has in relationship to the Eucharist. I Will share to his with all who seek Jesus Christ.
I am also very happy to have stumbled upon Fr. Mike. I am at a new beginning in my life after a significant loss. I have always been close to Jesus, Fr. Mike has opened up a New Door for me and I hope to continue listening to him.
I know what you're going through, Miguel. I was told about Fr Mike by my daughter. She's been blessed and is back to being a faithful Catholic. I'm blessed by listening to all his homilies. I'm grateful and thankful for having my daughter back to her faith. Many blessings for Fr Mike sharing all his amazingly blessed inspirational masses Miguel blessings to you too. Stay safe.
After watching this I feel as if I've been on a mini retreat! I am searching for my second calling after raising two children and beginning a new chapter in my life. What does God want me to do for Him is my quest and I'm diving into these awesome speeches by Fr. Mike Schmitz! Thank you Jesus for Fr. Mike and technology!
Amen Annette
God bless you and your ministry, Fr. Mike. You are so full of dynamism. The world needs you. 😇
I believe Jesus is who he says he IS. Amen.
Only kind of crazy Jesus is...is that he’s “crazy in love with us.” 💜💜💜
Im very happy that the young people will listen to you we need help with our young people please listen to him his is a fantastic to listen fantastic to listen to
You inspire me a lot as a priest Fr. Mike. God bless you and keep you
i am so touched! and i am not even young anymore! thank you Fr Schmitz for the passion. ... the best one hour spent today..
fr. Mike is the best teacher I've ever listened to😴😴.. I'm humbled
...and me being a catholic and love this wonderful Father's understanding of our beautiful religious.. the one and true religion
Thank You LORD for raising up father Mike to be that voice in the wilderness. 🙏
The Eucharist is so important to our lives
Thank you Fr. for showing me the simple way how our Father is! The God of the broken heart.
I love your energy Fr. MIke - it shows your passion and your drive not only to serve the church, but to share your love for all of us practicing Catholics - still practicing cause we don't get it right all the time. This is wonderful for Catholics of all ages!
This is so powerful. For someone about to embrace unbelief, this encouraged me to go back... and heed an open mind.. cos my god is open, and he is as he has promised... may not believe literal words out of the bible, but Fr Mike’s the word, he is bible in person... I’m glad to stay catholic 👍🏼
✝️💕✝️
Jesus is the word made flesh, not Mike. Who did Jesus say that he was? Do you want what he has to offer?
I love Mike, I'm not speaking against him.
How could you unbelieve? Look at The Shroud and listen to all of the newest studies and don’t quote to me “but the carbon tests said it wasn’t old enough.” They tested a repaired piece of cotton rewoven, glued in and dyed to match that was put in place by nuns in the Middle Ages. They never tested the linen and now they have coated it with some chemical so it will never be tested with carbon dating again. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and the Shroud proves it, He left the first photo, but it has three dimensional properties. We still can’t do that.
Patrick Montgomery ... Patrick oh Patrick... don’t be a dumbass... I’m in awe of fr mike and the way he’s bringing the gospel to the young... it does not mean I think of him as God, or worship him the way you think I do... geez..
@@yummy8560 Please ignore Patrick Montgomery. Do not respond to his comments. He is the devil's instrument
Fr. Mike. thank you for your inspiring message. May God continue to bless you as you minister to our hearts. We pray for that courage-as someone said "if no one goes I will go." Pray for courageous people-witnesses to come forward that the world will continue to be renewed especially the young ones youths. amen Stay blessed. Mumbi, all the way from Africa, Zambia
Father mike we love you speaks god bless you 🙏
Quite moving, God Bless you Father Mike and all the whole World... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m grateful to God that I came across this video it brings me so much inspiration. Fr. Mike is indeed a witness of Christ.
Fr. Mike may God bless you always and thank you for sharing about Jesus.
One, Holy (Christ-built), Catholic (universal), Apostolic (From the apostles), Church (mystical body of Christ).
Do not forget the Orthodox Church. It has true apostolic succession.
Thanks
@@joliettraveler exactly only than the first church from Jesus is Catholic now 2000 years old.
God bless you Fr. Mike Schmidt. You are a gift to this generation. Keep doing what you are doing. We all love you ❤❤❤. God loved you.
I love how the Holy Spirit speaks the Glory of God through Father Mike! Glory and honour be to the almighty true God.
@Patrick Montgomery I see nothing holy about what you said if you think only you have the Holy spirit brother. Why are you doing this?
@Patrick Montgomery Keep your peace brother, thank you. Let us pray for eachother instead of looking for our Differences.
@Patrick Montgomery Ok.
@Patrick Montgomery keep your peace and I will to. This is a fruitless conversation sir.
@Patrick Montgomery sir, please leave me alone. I sense no presence of The Holy Spirit in your words. Please check on what are the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. I see not one in your previous comments. You probably want to attack me for no reason in the name of Christ. Christ would not approve of this at all so please just Stop..
I'm proud to be your colleague sir, Thank you. Fr. Arturo Catholic priest
So good. His visualization of the Apostles during the Passion and on Easter Sunday... Awesome!
Oh my word you just transformed my life, blessings to you for that beautiful spirit and strengh you have within you.
Christians pray to the Crist son of the living God . sorry but catholics are just praying to the pope .Research the holy word of God you'll see
I wish fr. Mike would have been around when I was growing up !! I absolutely love him ❤️
Praying for father mike !! We need more priests like him for our youth! Thank you Lord for him and praise him to continue to Shepard our youth 📿🕊🙏
"...giving God thanks and praise"
God Bless you Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Quite honestly after watching some of your videos I was shocked by 'Surprised by The Truth.'
It took my roller coaster ride of devoutness to rationalization to devoutness to rationalization until
I was 58 years old. Yet, I believed what The Church taught on some things you struggled with;
only I got into a relationship with my first love of 1981 over and over again; but it is a long story.
What it really was is that I didn't let the Lord Jesus Christ heal me of extreme emotional neediness
and extreme need for validation from others starting in early childhood --- another long story
that many others have been through. But, now, I live as a bachelor, and have a certain private 'Rule,'
starting with morning prayers and Lauds and through the day prayers and works --- often Daily Mass
--- and I am deeply committed to the Sacredness of Life --- something the Lord
put indelibly on my heart for almost thirty years now.
And we need all the help we can get for that. Thank you for your sharing Jesus Christ and your
testimonies. And the wake up call of I have been called to a relationship, and companionship
with Jesus Christ - it wasn't a mere ethical, moral, religious decision - I think you credited
Pope Emeritus Benedict xvi with that from the Encyclical on Charity. Peace and warm regards.
I could listen to you all day!
Beautiful! God bless Father Mike and may God give us the strength and wisdom to practice our Faith, every day.
Wow, wow, wow! Father your words fill my soul with love, and hope and inspire me to do better. Your presentation helps me understand on a deeper level. God gave you such a gift! Thank you! May God bless and protect you always.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. God bless you always...All Ways. Please pray for my family. I pray for you
Thank you Father. Your sermons are helping me on my journey. God Bless You 🙏
I hope God loves this man as much as I do!! He is absolutely amazing👏
Excellent man!! Love his personality and how he teaches
Fr.Mike more than words. That talk WINS the Prize. We never will forget it who could ever forget what you say.Terrific!!!!
We Pauline family world wide have this year Dedicated to THE BIBLE.PRAY FOR THAT .We will love your Bible study on you tube
My Catholic Religion is more than empty words.We have to live our Catholic life with examples in the world.To be a living follower of our saviour called Jesus.
He performed miracles because he loves people, out of love, not to show that He's powerful Messiah, which he is! ❤
enjoy listening to Fr... from Malaysia
From India
Fr. Mike - you are priceless - absolutely love you!!!
This has got to be my favorite sermon ever by Father Milke👍🌹he is right it is time to get to work!!💗🦋🦋🙏
You speak Truth, Fr Mike. You are a man of God transforming the world. Thank you for being true to the calling on your life. God bless you.
Thank you Jesus ❤ I love you Lord❤️
You are a very special chosen person Fr Mike , love to listen , learn about the gospel, I’m Catholic and always believed in what I was taught. Through this video i cried, laugh . What a beautiful gift you have , thank you and God Bless 🙏🏻
Thank you for saving my life Jesus Christ!
Great talk! For those who don't want to listen to all of this, make sure you listen from 57:05 on. Those last 6 minutes are powerful!
I have the freedom and the courage. Off yo work I go. Love you Fr Mike
He came to my church in 2016. I was married about 3 months. We asked for a blessing. It worked, happy as can be. We pray the rosary together most days.
so touching, I felt like crying-especially the story about the guy from China
Let us never stop praying for China and the oppressed church everywhere.
That is one of the most crushing stories that he tells. There are others mostly involving countries that we would consider communist and very restrictive of religion and then you find out just how easy it is to do what happened to the Chinese man in our country. I do cry I’ve heard it at a lot of times but I do cry.
Every encounter with another person. That's how Jesus views the world. That is how we are called. Father Mike reminds us.
Thank you so much. I started listening to you every morning on my way home from work, around 5am. ❤ this morning I was so into the message that I passed my exit.🙈 😂
Loved every word. THANKS!
Father Mike, you are awesome. I want to hear more from you. More from you from the same topic. Thank you so much God bless you always.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fr. Mike... you are so amazing in the way to bring the word of God to the youngsters... awesome way to keep their attention and to teach the Gospel of Christ.
God bless you a million and gives you more wisdom to share...
Peace-Love and always strong !!
Wonderful preaching. I am so happy to be here.
Thank you so much @FatherMike for spreading the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏻 Beyond Amazing to hear this.
Father mike. Your are amazing. Praying for your ministry.
Loved the the way he explains the resurrection of our Lord!
Oh Jesus splendour of the Holy family of Nazareth, bless the temple of my own home, increase our faith, sustain us in time of trial, ensure our merits and make it grow bigger through charity. Amen
This has to be one of my favorite messages from Fr. Mike.
AWESOME. All saints... PRAY FOR US!
Wow!
Yes I agree May God bless him and strength his believe 🙏💒
Love Father Mike he knows what to say and how to say it and he makes you think especially the young people who are falling away by the numbers. I would love him to speak about being Spiritual because that’s what their excuse is “I believe in God and Jesus but I don’t go to church I’m Spiritual. Whatever that means. Thanks Father Mike you’re an inspiration. Wish you could come to Connecticut some time I’d love to see you in person but for now I’ll listen to you on your podcast
Didn’t think that I could make through this one-hour talk in one shot. It was so engaging and so motivating. Praise be to God for such a great talk that people need to hear more.
