Our Bible study teacher asked for praise reports when no one raised their hands I said " This morning I woke up. I opened my eyes I could see, put my feet on the floor I could stand and walk, Praise God for it All !
Yes I am grateful to get up and help myself to heat my coffee and Make breakfast.not always to do some things I could in the past. But still be glad for good things. Yes, we have been having a lot of rain here. Which .makes some parts hurt worse. Some problems are my fault. I know soo work to change. Glory to God for help.!
When I asked St. Francis to find me an acceptable pet and, as St. Francis often did , I opened the bible to a passage --- it opened to the Book of Tobit where St. Raphael tells Tobias to pull the cataracts off Tobit's eyes, I was intrigued and thought to myself this is where they got the idea for cataract surgery. The next day I found a tiny scared kitten in my yard and the kitten had a cataract on her eye -- I knew this was the answer to my prayer and I called the kitten Tobit.
I saw God at the corner of Ocean Blvd!! It's a smile from a stranger, an ocean tide, a starry night, an unexpected phone call, a well needed hug. He's everywhere all the time. So fun to start your day looking for God and end your day sharing with others where you saw him.
Watching this at 12 midnight. This year has been very difficult for me for my family with all the financial and emotional issues at the moment in the middle of the pandemic.

True story y'all! I was just sitting and reflecting on the journal prompt i have for today, thinking that i couldn't think of a single thing to write about in answer of the prompt i chose for today.

I was waiting for my table yesterday, outside in 105F(40C) weather. After 30 minutes I said, God please help, I can't stand it anymore. Within 30 seconds, the door opened and we got our table. When we arrived someone immediately "by mistake" brought us an appetizer. Then they apologized and said that we can have it for free. During the dinner, again they "mixed up" my order and brought me a different dish. Again, they apologized and basically told me I can keep it for free. I started laughing and said to my husband, see, God loves us so much :D :D :D Praise be Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour :)

Hey guys, just a heads-up to make sure when praising the works of God, don't fall into the sin of pride and the “holier than thou” vibe because that repels people instead of bringing them in. It turns the focus on the person (I love God so much and you don't haha feeling), and Satan can use our good intentions and works and twist them to make them sinful. Just a reminder!
@Traditional Catholic Skyler has a good point; we may, on the outside, be praising God - but our inner heart is one of 'I'm glad I'm holier than you' - similar to Jesus' story of the high priest and the sinner - where the priest says to himself he is glad he isn't like that sinner. God admonishes the priest - but has mercy for the sinner. Yours is a good point, too - satan doesn't twist good into evil - but we can. :-)
@Traditional Catholic No, that’s not what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. We can have good intentions, but can twist it into something sinful like being prideful. Ex. Let’s say I want to help at a food pantry, but then tell myself “Wow, I’m such a great person” (pride).

Since sept 11 2020 when I let Jesus into my heart and soul I’ve never been the same. He touch my soul and made me new. I used to think people just say that , but it is actual fact. He touches you and you see the world different and live different and live in God as he lives in me 🙏🏻😇
Last night, I prayed that god can continue to reveal us to him so we can never lose faith or feel like he’s not there. And I got this video later on my recommended section!
What do you mean? God and Jesus talks about praying throughout the Bible. And if we don’t ask question than we shall never truly know the father, or even the man who died on the cross Jesus Christ
And god loves people to question him and people have questioned him throughout the Bible. And he would never get offended because god is patient, god is loving, and god is peaceful
So I hope and pray for you that you shall change your false belief. And I mean this in the most softest, loving, peaceful way, exactly how god and Jesus would feel and do
Thank you Jesus for giving Father Schmitz the courage to share what was on his mind today and being so personal. THank you Jesus for this community of comments too. We adore you!
On Wednesday evening I was sitting outside watching my dogs, and, I noticed the lighting bugs flying around and how they make a light show in the darkness of the night. God blessed me and all who see with the beauty of these tiny creatures. Thank you Father.
Quaker here. In Quaker teachings, we're taught to 'see the God' in everyone, and I feel that the most in the silence of the meeting house, where we're all sat together. Actually sitting in stillness makes me feel so close to God and the others around me because it's such a pure moment of reflection.
Im very grateful to God, my mom has been in ICU and my aunt passed away. My mom is stable enough that my dad, son and I can drive an 1 1/2 away to go to my aunts funeral. That is the hand of God. He has always saved me. Thank you god for miracles
I have never ever been a believer, but there has been to many unexplained things in my life that couldn’t happen without a greater power above me. I genuinely believe that “god” is everywhere. And I am more each day believing that god himself will make contact with me soon

I am so grateful that Jesus brought me the Rosery 15 mysteries in Gregorian Chant this morning… I really needed it today … it lifted me so high I could touch the clouds for a second… bless you Lord 🤍
Hi father im not catholic and i sometimes disagree with you but i absolutely love catholicism and this amazing channel you've created. Lots of love God bless
I am so Grateful I found this pod-cast after searching through videos that show how many bad things are happening all over the world.... Thank you Jesus for giving us the knowledge of Who is in CONTROL !!!!
God's daily artwork in the sky fill me with awe, hope, love, gratitude and make me emotionally humble when I contemplate that the Creator of creation bestow us with His amazing gestures of love on a daily basis. And this is just the skys - contemplate every thing else He gifts us... My Lord Jesus, I trust in you and I love you too!
I'm sitting in the middle of winter. Today it was above freezing. God gave me a day off from listening to the faucets run. Now the temp's have dropped and I am thankful to God for the water running again. No frozen pipes! There are days in my life that are so dark and I have felt the presence of the Lord. The only thing I can say is Thank You, God.
It's hard to talk about the Lord when anyone I talk to him about roll their eyes. I talk alot about him and biblical history cause it makes me feel pumped yet there aren't many believers my age where I live.
Was just thinking about this! Yesterday at work, when grabbing the metal detector and shovel to look for survey control, I was about to put my headphones in to listen to music like I do about 60-80% of the time. But at that moment my hands were full and even with eventually having one hand free, I couldn’t be bothered to take my airpods out and put them in. Right after that thought, I chastised myself for being so glued to my phone and being plugged in constantly. So I decided I would intentionally take note of and not ignore my surroundings and really take in the beauty of the day that God made. We should all do this more often.
Yep I also have this habit of using my earphones all the time. As for results I'm afraid of silence because I know my thoughts will go wild and I panick if they're not with me. This week at Eucharist adoration I made the promise to Our Lord that I'll spend a week without using them and live in silence and meditation. Today's my second day. Not easy pray for me😅
I only realized it after covid. Truth is nobody can love you like God does. I always found disappointment in everyone else I depended on... whether they backstabbed or differed too great in viewpoints. God will never let you down
Whenever I look at a beautiful flower and its unique features and its work of art, my heart will just feel God. I think it's time to acknowledge God more and thank Him loudly and expressively to reflect how my heart feels about him for that beautiful flower.
@@ptag1868 Every day my mother was dying in agony from the tumor God put in her brain, I saw God too. I saw his sadism, cruelty and sheer evil. Flowers? Give me a break.
I note what happens by writing every day 3 things for which I am grateful for. I call these writings my Deo Gratia Thank you God. A Benedictine nun showed me this and this what she called this So be grateful, every day is a blessing. It changed my outlook on life as I tended to always complain. No not everything in my life is great, amazing but I try to focus on the great, the good, the silver lining
Thank you for this video, and putting words to the thoughts I have, and I’m sure others do too. The more I spend time with Jesus and Mary, the more I see them in the moments. I finished the 33 Days to Morning Glory on May 13, and that day I ovulated early and became pregnant! Not my plan, but Gods, and this sign was so clearly from above. A few days later I found a sticker under my water filter that I hadn’t seen for months, and it is of Mary holding baby Jesus. Jesus knew I needed these obvious signs. God works in so many subtle and obvious ways. I often drift away from spending time in prayer and I notice that I live life more “asleep”. Thank you for this video and beautiful reminder. God Bless!
I am most grateful to God for changing me...it might not be noticeable to others, but slowly I can feel the changes in me . whenever I dont loose my temper or get irritated with my family members like I usually do....I know its the Lord giving me grace to tackle the situation with patience and love. . Whenever I dont judge others or take offense at some rude remarks I know its the Lord's gift of humility. If not for him we humans would be ruled by evil...everything good in us is from him. Always give him thanks for that and yearn for his graces.
That is a great idea! I( and a lot of people I've known) used to declare our appreciation for God's gifts. What happened? Tomorrow will be mindful AND expressive!
In every corner of our life, Christ is waiting for us there. "I go before you always", and even amidst darkness where we cannot see, the Lord guides us. Praised be Jesus Christ!! ❤️
“And I’m so grateful for this…I noticed those beautiful words, and I noted that God reminded me it was due because of Him…God, you are the source of Love and Miracles; Love surrounds me only because of You- I love you, Lord! Amen…”☺️❤️🙏
The only mediator is JESUS! Angels are not at the same level as God,they are created like us. They don’t answer prayers.. NO ONE except Almighty God in Heaven. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5
@@kelslo74 So now when you and Sarah prayed, it was I who brought and read the record of your prayer before the glory of the Lord, and likewise whenever you would bury the dead. And that time when you did not hesitate to get up and leave your dinner to go and bury the dead, I was sent to you to test you. And at the same time God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord.” Tobit 12 :12-15
For the last year or so my morning prayers are essentially a litany of things I am grateful for. Some are things that God has already done for or given to me, some are things that I accept in anticipation of receiving them. Oddly enough, in the perception of most people, I'm grateful that God pulled me out of a toxic work environment a few months ago so that I can use the talents I've let stagnate for too long to provide for me. My comment to those that chose to let me go was that my God was greater than this workplace and I knew I would be fine. Left them all very confused and scratching their heads; my happiest time there was my last week, and they just couldn't wrap their brains around it. But what they meant for evil God has, and continues to, turn to good. PTL! (I love that and will incorporate it into my vocabulary!) I also thank God for you!!
I'd like to ask you a question, if we are to give thanks and recognition to God for all of the things we perceive as good, what should we do about the things we perceive as bad? Should we give thanks to God for these as well since we should have confidence they are all necessary for God's perfect plan or should we curse God for letting these things happen to us?
@@tomandrews1429 That's a bit like bringing up the problem of evil (that is "If God is real, why do bad things happen?"), so not a small matter. Anyhow I think you should acknowledge that everything is part of God plan, the bad events that happen in your life are either wanted directly by God, or He simply allows them to happen. Keep in mind that God is good in spite of whatever might happen in your life
In Norway, we Also talk about the weather almost everyday. And when someone complains, I just say, instead of complaining, we give thanks to His gifts and appreciate them.
Such an important thing father. Not only to see God in all things but to give thanks and praise for those things! Even things made at the hand of man are from God. As an example a beautiful day out - “ah lord it is so amazing out. How great you are for being able to make such a perfect day, the works of your creation are amazing as are you” - I think and pray these types of things constantly and at times speak them.
Praise God for giving us you Father Mike! You cause us to rejoice in God with your loving and uplifting messages and teach us so much especially with the Bible in a Year. Thanks be to God for all he gives us including the gift of you!
I agree, I thank OUR LORD every day I get the opportunity to awake. ( Some people don't ) and my health is still in tact. I've got a few dollars,a job, and the willingness to say THANK YOU......
Thank you for this video, Fr. Mike! A few months ago, I asked God to help me recognize His love more. At that time, I was shopping to buy my first rose bush. I visited local garden centers and searched online, but nothing stood out to me. Then during my online search, I came across my dream rose--a variety I had fallen in love with a couple years ago when visiting a rose garden. I found it for sale online as a potted plant (versus a bare root) at a great price! When I ordered it, there were 2 left in stock. By the time I finished placing my order, someone else bought the other one. Several months later, my little rose bush is thriving and brings so much joy with gorgeous red roses! It blows my mind how everything lined up for me to get my dream rose, right when I had asked God to help me recognize His love more!
Thank u Father Mike 💫 Notice that every single thing is coming from the hand of God. Thank God for all the gifts and people he has blessed us with in our life.✨🌻
Thank you for Mike ,pray for Ron my husband his lungs are not good ,also for my family conversions ,bless you fr and how you help us and your joy ,🙏🙏🙏❣️
I rely on the Saints so much ❤❤xx I call on St Jude every time Im panicking or in trouble. He is always there. Always helps me. He is my friend. I tell my sisters, who are likeminded, that I said a flying Novena. and suddenly ... everything ok. Jesus bestowed these gifts on our Saints to help us. Jesus is truly merciful ❤
I I have made it a point to be “Happy and Grateful”of my day before bed. I am Happy and grateful from having woken up and have warm water to wash with to having had dinner with my loved ones. It’s remarkable how once you start being aware of all the little things that make up the big picture, you start asking for less but at the same time you start receiving more. May God Bless all of you and your families.
Fr. Mike, I thank God daily for all things, your teachings are among them. Through you God's love has has reached so many at my parish, my work, and anyone I've come in contact with to share. I have turned everything over to God, praying and cultivating an intimate relationship with Him. Placing His will over mine in all things, not something that is easily done and was part of my confession yesterday. Recently I attended a catechist meeting and now scheduled to teach in Sept., setting aside all fear and trusting in him. The four doors of decernment you once spoke of was one of many teachings that encourages me, another one of God's gifts offered through you. I've been praying on how I can serve Him for the remainder of my life on earth. I know God will love me for what ever I decide to do, He gives us the gift of choice and It's crystal clear He's telling me to serve as Deacon. So I'm going to attend a Diaconate discernment night on September 29th. I was asked by our Deacon two years ago and have prayed about it since. I thank God for the gift of you Fr. Mike in my life, you have been a great part of this journey. Thank you and God Bless William
I have seen an Angel and he said to me your are healed, your husband healed and your neighbor is healed. My neighbor was a very religious man and said Kathye there many ways to be healed. My neighbor died of cancer that Christmas. I learned alot from that Angel. That was six years ago and I told God no more Angels people don’t always believe me. I just now ask to see Angels again and who appears but you. Reading the Bible with you. God has always been here for me. Thank you I am still learning ❤
How nice it would be to meet Father Michael Schmitz one day, and be his friend; I admire and love him very much for all the work he has been doing and giving himself to God

Last night, I prayed that god can continue to reveal us to him so we can never lose faith or feel like he’s not there. And I got this video later on my recommended section!
This could be your answer God bless
Pray? is heresy - Do you DARE to question your gOD!
What do you mean? God and Jesus talks about praying throughout the Bible. And if we don’t ask question than we shall never truly know the father, or even the man who died on the cross Jesus Christ
And god loves people to question him and people have questioned him throughout the Bible. And he would never get offended because god is patient, god is loving, and god is peaceful
So I hope and pray for you that you shall change your false belief. And I mean this in the most softest, loving, peaceful way, exactly how god and Jesus would feel and do
I have made it a habit to look for God in everyday. He is always there.
Thank you Jesus for giving Father Schmitz the courage to share what was on his mind today and being so personal. THank you Jesus for this community of comments too. We adore you!
On Wednesday evening I was sitting outside watching my dogs, and, I noticed the lighting bugs flying around and how they make a light show in the darkness of the night. God blessed me and all who see with the beauty of these tiny creatures. Thank you Father.
Fr. Mike, I noticed and noted this video, which comes from God, through you! Thank you and Thanks to God! ❤
This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad.
Quaker here. In Quaker teachings, we're taught to 'see the God' in everyone, and I feel that the most in the silence of the meeting house, where we're all sat together. Actually sitting in stillness makes me feel so close to God and the others around me because it's such a pure moment of reflection.
Im very grateful to God, my mom has been in ICU and my aunt passed away. My mom is stable enough that my dad, son and I can drive an 1 1/2 away to go to my aunts funeral. That is the hand of God. He has always saved me. Thank you god for miracles
I have never ever been a believer, but there has been to many unexplained things in my life that couldn’t happen without a greater power above me. I genuinely believe that “god” is everywhere. And I am more each day believing that god himself will make contact with me soon
Emerson wrote that Every Day is the finest of days. Thank God for this reality.
Need this video I was just talking about this with my counselor yesterday
Is your counselor catholic
@@aureliomartinez2633 I sure hope not the Catholic Church is freaking corrupt & full of molesters ! Why hasn’t the pope or a priest come out and said anything about these issues along with calling out Biden professing he’s a catholic & caving to the far left ?????
Was talking bout this last week too
@@brianhood8827 All which are call themselves religions have a big tail but the media doesn't say anything question why nobody knows But wherever happens in the Catholic church everyone is ready to talk About and they still add on to make it more sansational the morbo of people If your not a Catholic what are you doing on this catholic channel
@@brianhood8827 Yeah you’re right. Judas is corrupt let’s both leave Jesus and go to Muhammad. That’s how you sound. Of course the church is carrying about these problems. Bishops are having meeting if they should deny Biden of communion.
I praise God for the talents He gave you. Thank you for a beautiful message 🙏❤️

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 1 KJV

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
I watch Fr. Mike in half speed so I can really let it sink in
I am so grateful that Jesus brought me the Rosery 15 mysteries in Gregorian Chant this morning… I really needed it today … it lifted me so high I could touch the clouds for a second… bless you Lord 🤍
Hi father im not catholic and i sometimes disagree with you but i absolutely love catholicism and this amazing channel you've created. Lots of love God bless
Please watch 'The Catholic Talk Show' it is wonderful.
So funny and informative. Best Wishes from Scotland,UK. 🏴
I am so Grateful I found this pod-cast after searching through videos that show how many bad things are happening all over the world....
Thank you Jesus for giving us the knowledge of Who is in CONTROL !!!!
God's daily artwork in the sky fill me with awe, hope, love, gratitude and make me emotionally humble when I contemplate
that the Creator of creation bestow us with His amazing gestures of love on a daily basis. And this is just the skys - contemplate every thing else He gifts us... My Lord Jesus, I trust in you and I love you too!
May God provide all your family's needs in this time of difficulties.
God bless.
Yes! Psalm 19!
I'm sitting in the middle of winter. Today it was above freezing. God gave me a day off from listening to the faucets run. Now the temp's have dropped and I am thankful to God for the water running again. No frozen pipes! There are days in my life that are so dark and I have felt the presence of the Lord. The only thing I can say is Thank You, God.
It's hard to talk about the Lord when anyone I talk to him about roll their eyes. I talk alot about him and biblical history cause it makes me feel pumped yet there aren't many believers my age where I live.
I praise and thank the Lord for offering Clemence a new job. Dear Lord please guide him in his new job
Was just thinking about this! Yesterday at work, when grabbing the metal detector and shovel to look for survey control, I was about to put my headphones in to listen to music like I do about 60-80% of the time. But at that moment my hands were full and even with eventually having one hand free, I couldn’t be bothered to take my airpods out and put them in. Right after that thought, I chastised myself for being so glued to my phone and being plugged in constantly. So I decided I would intentionally take note of and not ignore my surroundings and really take in the beauty of the day that God made. We should all do this more often.
Yep I also have this habit of using my earphones all the time. As for results I'm afraid of silence because I know my thoughts will go wild and I panick if they're not with me. This week at Eucharist adoration I made the promise to Our Lord that I'll spend a week without using them and live in silence and meditation. Today's my second day. Not easy pray for me😅
@@norazanmie8073 You’ve got this 🙏🏻 Praying for you friend
Thank God for Father Mike.
Thank you Fr. Mike…You are loved and prayed for daily!
im a mess, but i try, but i have blessed life so thankyou God, ill keep trying
Thank God ,we have father Mike ❤❤
4:23 Amen yes MY LORD never want to go back to sleep. Keep me always awake
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a GREAT GIFT...
That is why it is called "The Present"...
Thank you Fr., God has blessed my life by letting me hear His words through you.
God be with you.
I only realized it after covid. Truth is nobody can love you like God does. I always found disappointment in everyone else I depended on... whether they backstabbed or differed too great in viewpoints. God will never let you down
Whenever I look at a beautiful flower and its unique features and its work of art, my heart will just feel God. I think it's time to acknowledge God more and thank Him loudly and expressively to reflect how my heart feels about him for that beautiful flower.
@@ptag1868 Every day my mother was dying in agony from the tumor God put in her brain, I saw God too. I saw his sadism, cruelty and sheer evil.
Flowers? Give me a break.
I note what happens by writing every day 3 things for which I am grateful for. I call these writings my Deo Gratia Thank you God. A Benedictine nun showed me this and this what she called this So be grateful, every day is a blessing. It changed my outlook on life as I tended to always complain. No not everything in my life is great, amazing but I try to focus on the great, the good, the silver lining
So grateful for Father Mike! Praise God!
God Bless You Father!
Thanks Fr. I try to acknowledge God in my everyday life as well.
Thank you for this video, and putting words to the thoughts I have, and I’m sure others do too. The more I spend time with Jesus and Mary, the more I see them in the moments. I finished the 33 Days to Morning Glory on May 13, and that day I ovulated early and became pregnant! Not my plan, but Gods, and this sign was so clearly from above. A few days later I found a sticker under my water filter that I hadn’t seen for months, and it is of Mary holding baby Jesus. Jesus knew I needed these obvious signs.
God works in so many subtle and obvious ways.
I often drift away from spending time in prayer and I notice that I live life more “asleep”. Thank you for this video and beautiful reminder. God Bless!
I am most grateful to God for changing me...it might not be noticeable to others, but slowly I can feel the changes in me . whenever I dont loose my temper or get irritated with my family members like I usually do....I know its the Lord giving me grace to tackle the situation with patience and love. . Whenever I dont judge others or take offense at some rude remarks I know its the Lord's gift of humility. If not for him we humans would be ruled by evil...everything good in us is from him. Always give him thanks for that and yearn for his graces.
That is beautiful, thank you for writing this.
That is a great idea! I( and a lot of people I've known) used to declare our appreciation for God's gifts. What happened? Tomorrow will be mindful AND expressive!
I always remember to thank god for every single day for good and bad
In every corner of our life, Christ is waiting for us there. "I go before you always", and even amidst darkness where we cannot see, the Lord guides us. Praised be Jesus Christ!! ❤️
It's always good to say thank you to God whether big or small and tell him that we appreciate all of his glory every day.
May God bless you Fr. Mike for the wonderful messages God gives us through you, and may he strengthen you as you continue to do his work.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏 Fr. Mike the first I have in the morning is I thank God for waking me and also thank Him for the beautiful day that He has made for us ❤
Thank you Jesus for all the blessings I have received. I praise you , I honor you , I thank you. AMEN
I’m grateful for this video! Insightful - and sprinkled with humor! 🥰🙏🤣
💐✝️🛐💯 good morning Father Mike.
Glory be to the Father the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT as it was in the beginning is now and every shall be GOD without end Amen🙏❤️✝️❤️🙏🕊
Thank you Lord for loving us all and these teachings ❤
“And I’m so grateful for this…I noticed those beautiful words, and I noted that God reminded me it was due because of Him…God, you are the source of Love and Miracles; Love surrounds me only because of You- I love you, Lord! Amen…”☺️❤️🙏
Thank you Father Mike! Here in the Philippines we have a simple quote: Every GISING is a blessing! GISING in English is wake-up.. nice! Thank you!
Breathe....I like the reminder. Thanks be to God.
Raphael the Angel listened to their prayers and brought them to God (intercession)
The only mediator is JESUS! Angels are not at the same level as God,they are created like us. They don’t answer prayers.. NO ONE except Almighty God in Heaven.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:5
@@kelslo74 So now when you and Sarah prayed, it was I who brought and read the record of your prayer before the glory of the Lord, and likewise whenever you would bury the dead. And that time when you did not hesitate to get up and leave your dinner to go and bury the dead, I was sent to you to test you. And at the same time God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord.”
Tobit 12 :12-15
@@JohnR.T.B. Amen!
For the last year or so my morning prayers are essentially a litany of things I am grateful for. Some are things that God has already done for or given to me, some are things that I accept in anticipation of receiving them. Oddly enough, in the perception of most people, I'm grateful that God pulled me out of a toxic work environment a few months ago so that I can use the talents I've let stagnate for too long to provide for me. My comment to those that chose to let me go was that my God was greater than this workplace and I knew I would be fine. Left them all very confused and scratching their heads; my happiest time there was my last week, and they just couldn't wrap their brains around it. But what they meant for evil God has, and continues to, turn to good. PTL! (I love that and will incorporate it into my vocabulary!) I also thank God for you!!
start every day with gratitude to God.
Most important getway from this: Take every minute as if it was coming from God
I'd like to ask you a question, if we are to give thanks and recognition to God for all of the things we perceive as good, what should we do about the things we perceive as bad? Should we give thanks to God for these as well since we should have confidence they are all necessary for God's perfect plan or should we curse God for letting these things happen to us?
@@tomandrews1429 That's a bit like bringing up the problem of evil (that is "If God is real, why do bad things happen?"), so not a small matter. Anyhow I think you should acknowledge that everything is part of God plan, the bad events that happen in your life are either wanted directly by God, or He simply allows them to happen. Keep in mind that God is good in spite of whatever might happen in your life
@@giacomofilosofia Ok, so if my child dies should I thank God for that because it is a fulfillment of God's perfect plan?
@@tomandrews1429 It absolutely is God's plan, even when you don't like it. This game is not working with me
@@giacomofilosofia That didn't answer my question. Should I thank God when your or my child dies of cancer?
In Norway, we Also talk about the weather almost everyday. And when someone complains, I just say, instead of complaining, we give thanks to His gifts and appreciate them.
Such an important thing father. Not only to see God in all things but to give thanks and praise for those things! Even things made at the hand of man are from God. As an example a beautiful day out - “ah lord it is so amazing out. How great you are for being able to make such a perfect day, the works of your creation are amazing as are you” - I think and pray these types of things constantly and at times speak them.
Thank you, Father Mike, for another fantastic talk. You just have a way of making God more personal to us,
My DH just so lovingly made a foot bath for me, and then took care of my feet! A gift from Jesus through my husband. ❤️
Great message! I have a sign in my house that says” Today is a gift from God remember to thank him!” Peace Father Mike
Praise God for giving us you Father Mike! You cause us to rejoice in God with your loving and uplifting messages and teach us so much especially with the Bible in a Year. Thanks be to God for all he gives us including the gift of you!
I agree, I thank OUR LORD every day I get the opportunity to awake. ( Some people don't ) and my health is still in tact. I've got a few dollars,a job, and the willingness to say THANK YOU......
Thank you God for showing me this video to give glory to you!
Father Mike has a gift of making the Bible accessible to everyone. PTL!
Thank you for this video, Fr. Mike! A few months ago, I asked God to help me recognize His love more. At that time, I was shopping to buy my first rose bush. I visited local garden centers and searched online, but nothing stood out to me. Then during my online search, I came across my dream rose--a variety I had fallen in love with a couple years ago when visiting a rose garden. I found it for sale online as a potted plant (versus a bare root) at a great price! When I ordered it, there were 2 left in stock. By the time I finished placing my order, someone else bought the other one. Several months later, my little rose bush is thriving and brings so much joy with gorgeous red roses! It blows my mind how everything lined up for me to get my dream rose, right when I had asked God to help me recognize His love more!
Thank u Father Mike 💫
Notice that every single thing is coming from the hand of God.
Thank God for all the gifts and people he has blessed us with in our life.✨🌻
Father Mike, you talk very fast ❤😊
Thank you for Mike ,pray for Ron my husband his lungs are not good ,also for my family conversions ,bless you fr and how you help us and your joy ,🙏🙏🙏❣️
all you touch and all you see
is all your life will ever be
I rely on the Saints so much ❤❤xx I call on St Jude every time Im panicking or in trouble. He is always there. Always helps me. He is my friend. I tell my sisters, who are likeminded, that I said a flying Novena. and suddenly ... everything ok. Jesus bestowed these gifts on our Saints to help us. Jesus is truly merciful ❤
St. Raphael is my favorite Archangel that I name all my kids after him.
I I have made it a point to be “Happy and Grateful”of my day before bed. I am Happy and grateful from having woken up and have warm water to wash with to having had dinner with my loved ones. It’s remarkable how once you start being aware of all the little things that make up the big picture, you start asking for less but at the same time you start receiving more. May God Bless all of you and your families.
Fr. Mike,
I thank God daily for all things, your teachings are among them. Through you God's love has has reached so many at my parish, my work, and anyone I've come in contact with to share.
I have turned everything over to God, praying and cultivating an intimate relationship with Him. Placing His will over mine in all things, not something that is easily done and was part of my confession yesterday. Recently I attended a catechist meeting and now scheduled to teach in Sept., setting aside all fear and trusting in him. The four doors of decernment you once spoke of was one of many teachings that encourages me, another one of God's gifts offered through you. I've been praying on how I can serve Him for the remainder of my life on earth. I know God will love me for what ever I decide to do, He gives us the gift of choice and It's crystal clear He's telling me to serve as Deacon. So I'm going to attend a Diaconate discernment night on September 29th. I was asked by our Deacon two years ago and have prayed about it since.
I thank God for the gift of you Fr. Mike in my life, you have been a great part of this journey.
Thank you and
God Bless
William
You are in my prayers, William. God Bless you!
I have seen an Angel and he said to me your are healed, your husband healed and your neighbor is healed. My neighbor was a very religious man and said Kathye there many ways to be healed. My neighbor died of cancer that Christmas. I learned alot from that Angel. That was six years ago and I told God no more Angels people don’t always believe me. I just now ask to see Angels again and who appears but you. Reading the Bible with you. God has always been here for me. Thank you I am still learning ❤
…even my car personal license plate announces “NOTMYNE”. (Misspelled, but NOTMINE was already taken!)
ALL we have are gifts from God!
Amen!
How nice it would be to meet Father Michael Schmitz one day, and be his friend; I admire and love him very much for all the work he has been doing and giving himself to God
EVERYTHING
IS A GRACE FROM
OUR GOD!❤
EVERYTHING!!!
When it is sunny i am greatful for the warmth and being able to be outside to see his works. When it is windy and rainy i am thankful that he is blowing away the dirt and washing my world for me. Living with an aware and greatful mind has kept me alive.
Thank you, Father Schmitz. I learned a lot from your talk.
Father I turned my sister pack to the church. She started you Bible in a year. You have been a great insperation to Both of us!!! Peace Out and Love MMLZZZ
Thank you God for another day 🙏
