    Thank you Father Mike, that was perfect. When my friends ask me how l l.am, l always say I'm okay & they say "just ok?" & I say, yup, can't get past that. Thanks for your sermon, God bless & Merry Christmas Father.🙏🎄

    Father Mike...I'm not fine and I haven't been for a while now. I know I will be ok one day, but I don't know when that day will come. I know why I'm not OK too! Thank you for all your stories that make me feel better everytime I hear you. God Bless you Father Mike...

    Oh Father Mike, you may not realize it but you get better and better with age. I wish there was someone so gifted when I was an adolescent and young adult. My life might’ve been a little bit easier. No I am not fine. But I’m working on it.

    Glad that settings allow changing playback speed. He speaks at such a hyper rate that listening to him raises my blood pressure. He sounds normal, completely normal, at 75%.

      Listening to it slowed down helps the video in the algorithm too! UA-cam ranks partially based on watch time. So if you slow it down by 25% it looks like you watched the video more than once

    Fr. Mike, I always say I'm fine but I'm usually not. I just don't want to burden others. I keep my guard up because I know I'm a sinner and who really wants to hear my life problems. I don’t think most people really want the truth. We all suffer and none of us are fine. I have no problem listening to peoples issues. People open up to me. I do tell God my problems and about all of my brokenness. Jesus knows me. I try to join my sufferings to Jesus and repent being a vile sinner constantly trying to ammend my life. I pray I get it right. You said we are all called to be saints. I pray I can become an unknown saint for God.I don’t know if I'm wrong by telling everyone I'm fine because I'm the care taker. I am blessed to have a great priest that I confess to and gives me spiritual guidance. I appreciate your spiritual guidance too!

    I always answer that: "I'm ok". And I'm not always ok. But I thank God every single morning for being alive and healthy. Some days my cross weighs a ton, but I then think how much weighed Christ's cross on His broken body going up to Calvary, and I just stop whining and carry on.

      You know if you say and you’re not than technically that’s not the truth. Something that is very common in society today. But as a Catholic Christian I always try to say “ I’ve been better and I have been worse, but happy to be alive!”

    Father, you are 100% correct. My husband passed away 2 months ago and as a young widow, all I can say is that I'm ok or fine because I know that I am not ok right now, but through faith, prayer, meditation, and the church, I will be ok. ❤❤❤❤

    Love Father Mike ❤ Modern Philosophy is wrong about our relationships. The "other" is not Hell. The "other" is a human being made in the image of God, worthy of Salvation and Eternal Life, a being that the fallen Angels were so Jealous of they abandoned God... and making friendships and relationships and loving the "other" like Christ is a COMMANDMENT, to ignore it.. is to ignore Our Blessed Lord.

      Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Pray. It took me until I was 51 to get there and then a few other things came along and reminded me how much more work I needed to do you will get there. I know it seems like a lot of work, but you will reach the point when you will get there and it will all be worth it

      Keep praying throughout the day, pray the rosary and ask for Mother Mary’s intercession and ask Him to reveal to you each day what He needs you to do, see and how you can be His hands and feet to His people.

    But when someone asks if I’m ok, it’s just a greeting/expression. The person asking isn’t truly interested in my problems. That’s reality.

    Get busy for Christ by getting involve at church. Do volunteering if you have spare time.
    The church has ministries we can involve in.
    To be honest, sometimes I feel like I will be able to do so many things I like being single than having a husband since he has to come first - like going on a mission.
    I do volunteer at church being an assistant to catechist and sing with the choir.
    There is such a thing as single-blessedness
    God bless you.

    It’s okay to say, “Oh my God.” We believe in God, not gosh, and are astonished by HIM, and rightly so! Let it not be afraid of that nor afraid to proclaim it!

    Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges the idea of saying "I'm fine," urging us to face our true struggles and need for Jesus, as true transformation starts with honesty and openness to God.

    What to answer when a person who never understands you asks you how are you?
    You know that she/he thinks is always right in his / her opinions regarding your situations and you must follow those opinions even when you don't feel comfortable with it😊!!

    • @MrsYasha1984
      @MrsYasha1984 6 годин тому

      Only be direct with people who mean well with you.
      With others be truthful, but vage and positive.
      For example: instead of answering: i'm struggling with education, work and familiy, because it overwhelms me!
      Just say: 'oh, i'm always busy😊'
      Talk to them about the things that are more positive. In that way those people can remind you of the things that are indeed more positive in your life, and help you get into a more positive mindset.
      Through this, these people can still be a tool for God to help you through life😊

    So Mike, tell me; is your own organisation doing okay? How is it dealing with the constant scandals involving paedophile priests in the Catholic church? I'd love to hear your views on that...
