Helps me to accept things in life that are hard, and more difficult than it should be. Now, cement dust in a basement repair job where something was probably not done right, and my son's huge foot surgery in 2 days where we're getting ready but not everything is falling into place. Jesus, I trust in you. You are God, I am not. Thank God.
Beware, when we say yes to God as to do His will in His glory, we will be traveling the road that is less traveled and face many challenges, and our worlds would be turned upside down when we least expect it, and sometimes it is unfathomable. Yet, in the midst of these challenges, we will then realize that without God, we will not be whole, or strong enough to withstand these challenges alone.
The messages and examples in “I am God; you are not” these past few weeks are worth considering as retreat material, individually or in group. Intend to revisit this rich material in new year. Thank you!
Heavenly Father, only you know the burdens I face please bless my children this Christmas. As a single mom it can be hard to have everything on your shoulders. Especially because both of my sons are autistic. It’s difficult to raise children alone but despite the challenges I face I keep faith in you Lord. As I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. Jesus deliver me from my anxieties, and my troubles. Give me strength. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Help me to find strength when I am weak, And hope when I am afraid. I will keep faith no matter what I face. ❤
Que hermosas palabras Padre Mike, justo lo que necesitaba escuchar porque llevaba días sintiendo un vacío e insatisfacción. Gracias a Dios que me permite escuchar esto. Feliz navidad a todos🎉🎉🎉
😂 "I kinda feel like thats right and I kinda feel like thats wrong" In seriousness, yes we have free will to be unlike autogenerated npcs, but its not like we lose it by becoming serviant to God's plan. At least God is not a sadistic user that tricks us into traps like most of us.
Buon Natale: Father Mike you are very correct that no one has been place in the character of our princess of peace our lord Jesus Christ. Could it be that no one can full in Jesus shoe??? if you look at the last to letters in Jesus is US. Could it be that there is NO us without Jesus?????✝️😇☦️😇
Father mike looking fit as a fiddle !!!!!!! Father I know this would be a silly request but pray for my weighted pullups it's my only outlet and hobby I have ....today I hit 5x5 with 35lbs on waist , I'm trying to get 45 lbs for 10 reps , .....I love you GOD!! P.s , thank you !!
Great message Fr Mike. But you lost me a little in Hebrew tradition to be bethrowed was to marry & be fruitful, multiply. Yes a change in plans. Yes Mary full of grace said yes to God. I personally don't see where in the scriptures it says Mary & Joseph were planning to be married but stay celibant together. Sorry if I'm wrong I'd love to see it. God bless you. Merry Christmas.
The Gospel was preached first. The first book of the Bible was not written for years after Pentecost and the last book was not written for decades. The New Testament was not compiled into one book until the 4th century A.D at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus 1. The Bible itself says not everything was written down. Did Jesus say, "Go.... preach," or "Write...publish"? Did Jesus say, "He who hears you, hears Me" or "He who reads what you will write will read Me"? The point is: not all Gospel truths were written down. Trusting Jesus's teaching Church is more spiritual and encompasses more than narrowly trusting ONLY His written word, which the Bible never says to do.
Jesus is the Creator, Redeemer and Judge. No one, not even the dead woman Mary has anything to do with anything. And NO, there is no such thing as Purgatory, but feel free to throw away money to a system that cannot do what Jesus has done. Feel free to pray to and for dead people who can neither hear nor benefit from your ramblings.
what if mary had said no jesus would not have been made flesh and would not have been crucified and died for your sins and there would have been no resurection so to say ourlady has nothing to do with anything is deluded and not accurate
Genesis 3:15 = Mary's Immaculate Conception and Her role in salvation. Jesus was transfigured with Moses and Elijah, and told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, proving the dead are sentient. The book of Maccabees, which protestants erroneously removed from the Bible, proves the Jews believed in Purgatory, as they still do today. Jesus referred to a prison (in the afterlife) you won't get out of until you pay the last farthing. Understand that Jesus never explicitly DENOUNCED Purgatory as a false doctrine as He did with other Jewish customs.
The joy and happiness in which you convey God’s word resonates so strong! Thank you so much for the way you teach!! It is extremely impactful!
We need God's forgiveness through Jesus. That's why God sent Him. To die in our place. That is the most important part of the Christmas message.

I looked up that viral video on UA-cam with the little boy . I just love Father Mike! Thanks for this homily.
🙏🙏🙏.Thank you
👍
Jesus loves yoy
I say Yes to the Lord.
"Your yes, to be part of His story; it radiates not only through time. Your yes will radiate through eternity." Incredible sentence.

God ! you are the main character. Whatever role you have for me! my answer is YES!.
Thank you Father Mike. Merry Christmas
This was so lovely. Tears of joy! Thank God for you 😊

Loved the 'us' in Jesus! Never saw that before! 'No us without Jesus!' Amen! Thank you!
God bless you father mike and have a very merry Christmas thanks for all you do jesus is evident in you and through you

Main character syndrome
Perfect homily

grazie padre Mike.Big hugs from Italy
Thank you Lord Jesus for this reminder. Merry Christmas Fr. Mike and to all the Ascension casts. May God Bless all of us always. 🙏🙏🙏
MERRY Christmas is today for us in Australia 🌏🌏🦘,,,✌️🙏💖
♥️
A very Happy Christmas dear Rev Fr Mike & the Ascension team. God bless you abundantly.😊
Interesting fact: Mary was asked & given the CHOICE to accept the Angel’s request to be the vessel of God.
Let's all pray to be the NPCs for God.

@@Anonymouse01248 haha true. Not a great analogy, but if we're not main characters, that can only mean one thing! 😅
That sounds scary.

It's the finest things like sign language backwards,
Matthew 1:25 stated, "But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son." He in this verse is referring to Joseph
How do you know it's not a dream,
Is that really you, yourself, how do you know,
Show down
Also are any of them bald...
No, good angels are perfect
@@wms72 ok I'm giving up the act, but one last thing. Are any angels made in China...
great but slow down Father

Is there any FAT angels, as in morbidly obese or responsive to food neurons rather than reactively proactive neurons. You're welcome church...
No fat angels. They have no bodies
@@wms72 explain, St Michael the Archangel hands crossed looking straight at you tapping his left foot... how, or with left arm on his hip
Editor, please stop with the constant zoom in and outs. It's very distracting
@thejacenexpress
I never noticed this before. But I like it. I hope he keeps up the zoom in and out. 😁
Well that's alright I'm the daughter of Dracula.
