    Yesterday was a difficult day for me, my heart was hurt, I was so broken by a situation between my 2 sons, I usually go to 9am Mass, I thought of not going, but I decided to go to 10am Mass, then 10:30 am Mass and then 12 pm, I could'nt do it. I decided to go to 1 pm Spanish Mass and I laid all my problems at the altar and I now feel good. Both my 2 sons and I had lunch together and everything was fine. Please pray for me. I lost my husband 4 months ago. God bless you all.

      Dear, Few things you can do.
      1. Pray for your sons every day on your knees.
      2. Help others who go through similar situations voluntarily
      3. Give alms to people whom you feel like giving without prejudice
      Your problems will melt away.
      Always remember that your prayer will be heard on God's time. So be patient and wait for that time.
      God bless🎉

    This resonated so much with me. In the summer I went to Montreal for a wedding, and had that same conscious pull the Sunday morning after to make the effort and go to Mass in an unfamiliar city and language, to my surprise, 2 of my cousins went also! I was sooo happy after being so afraid and forcing myself to go alone!
    Also this week, I went for Saturday vigil, for confession primarily, though I am nursing a bad toothache. I thought, just get to confession, and see how you feel for Sunday Mass. If tomorrow you are in too much pain, you don't have to go, and you're not technically breaking the rules. Well, after confession, and in a lot of pain, I thought to myself, yes, I am in pain, but not enough pain that I can't stay another hour for Saturday vigil. At least i know I can go now, and if I leave, I was being lazy and self serving. Not to mention being in a sure state of grace, and robbing myself of the opportunity to recieve the Eucharist! I mean it has happened before that I went to confession and only hours later ran so fast and willingly into mortal sin!
    I was also humbled yesterday when prior to going to church, I was helping an elderly friend empty his apartment as he's been just told by doctors that the disease he has will soon take its toll and he doesnt have much time left. I thought here I am complaining about my toothache, when this man has to wrap up, and say goodbye to his life and life's possessions.
    Thank you Fr. Mike for teaching and prompting such deep reflection. God bless you!

    I was born a catholic, but I don't think I ever really believed and never thought I'd truly seek and find God. Lately I learned what "God works in mysterious ways" means as I'm going through a painful separation from my wife and this storm in my heart has led me to Jesus. He opened my eyes, removed the veil that kept me from really seeing and I understood that the failures, sorrows, hurt, the sense of feeling lost and most importantly having spent a lifetime sinning, were the direct result of being Godless for so long. Now I'm still struggling to build my faith, day after day an on-going battle trying to stay on the path that's pleasing to God, but now at least I see a glimmer of hope which I couldn't see before!

I just love listening to you. And, for the record, you are not a "babbling and unintelligible priest". Yes, I agree you talk fast but it is easy to follow (at least I can definitely follow you) and you have such an intelligence that amazes me. I thank God for you and your ministry. God bless you!

    😊God's glory cannot be increased but it can be manifested. It can be shared.
    In that sense He needs the utmost glorification possible. In his tender love for
    the creature, he needs to manifest and share and as we grow in our knowledge
    of him, we need to manifest and share in a reciprocal relationship.

    Father, you are committing heresy! The Great Amen is NOT when Christ saves us. It could be said that this Amen is when we publicly proclaim our belief, thanks, and praise for our salvation, but it is the Sacrifice itself that saves us. You are going to have to change your wording. I may not have any doctorate in theology, but I have studied and learned enough about the mass to know that what you are saying over and over again is simply wrong, and you are confusing your 139k subscribers. You really have to correct what you are saying. If I am wrong, please specifically site your Catholic source that states that the Amen is when Christ saves us and I will apologize.

    • @theloverofwisdom66
      @theloverofwisdom66 9 днів тому

      @@johnosumba1980 A heresy is a doctrine contradictory to a point of faith clearly defined by the Church. The Church teaches that the salvation is re-presented when the priest consecrates the bread and wine, not when the people say, "Amen." The Doxology or The Great Amen is the people saying that they believe this sacrifice has been re-presented and are giving praise that to this re-presentation. As to what is greater anything that God does must be greater since God is infinitely greater. That God even created us is something for which we should be thankful and then even accept us as his own. Relatively, for our part for us to accept God is greater than not to accept God's salvation, but that is in comparison to other people and not to God's acceptance of us.

If that is what the Church meant it to be, it would use those words just as the Church uses the words, "This is my Body - this is my Blood." These words, "Through Him, . . .
