Thank you Fr. Mike. Through your messages and UA-cam videos, you have helped me decide to turn my life around and repent. What I do now, I do for the glory of God.
Father Mike, thank you for teaching us so much. Your homilies are beautiful and I needed to hear this. I needed a reminder that I don’t only get to ask God for help but also to do everything I can even if it’s the smallest things I can, to dedicate them to God for his glory. Thank you Father 🙏
Fr. Mike, your homilies are amazing and fill me with joy and inspire me to be a better servant of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is working through you in amazing ways! I pray for you, I am thankful, and I hope you will continue to guide us all in the Lord’s way and eventually to heaven. You are a gift from God, keep up the great work!
Thank you, God for the gift of Fr Mike. Here's my favorite part "This moment is Holy when this moment is His. Ane this moment is His when the motive is Him"

Ask, offer and accept is great advice for glorifying God and adding more holy moments to our lives. Father Mike, you are helping me so much on my spiritual journey and I love you 💕 God bless you, the Front Pew Crew and all those listening to this powerful homily. Still learning a lot from Ascension’s Catechism in a Year, too. Please pray for me to heal from long-term side effects from cancer radiation I had 30+ years ago. 🙏🏻 Thanks and praise be to our Lord and Savior! ❤
Amazing Homily. My husband and I both loved it. Love the Ask, Offer, Accept. Everything you said touched us so very much. Your words always touch us and make me cry. Love you Father. God bless you for all that you do to guide and teach us. You are in our prayers always! 🙏🏼❤️🤗
The prayer given to us by the Church sums up what you are saying in these simple words, "O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this present day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for all our associates, in union of Christendom, and in particular for the intentions of the Pope this month. Amen." I taught sixth grade students that by saying this prayer each morning you became a Superman or Superwoman because now every act, except a sinful one, is now done with the grace of God and is beyond or above a natural act.
Once again, thanks, Fr. Mike, for breaking this topic down into easy to understand examples. Until next week, God bless. I'm praying for you, please pray for me.
And again...Fr.Mike..Listening again..need to take notes...This homily is SO VALUABLE to CAPTURE..Indeed INSPIRING..Fr.Mike you are an AMAZING GIFT to us..PTL 🎉🎉🎉
God, may you bless our loved ones. We offer ourselves and those near and dear to our hearts. For we know you are able to love us and care for us far better than we can ever imagine. For their sake and for our own. We are all in need of your loving grace. Amen 🙏
I cannot begin to thank you for the positive impact you continuously have on me and my family! I just made a donation and ordered some of the Holy Moments books to give to others! Thank you Father Mike! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! So often life is "a series of unfortunate events". "Ask, offer accept" is such a helpful way to remember how to deal with these difficult moments. Thank you!
God is in the moment; humans experience time, but like God and light, once we pass we will no longer experience time, and it all be a Moment in His Presence.
A HOLY MOMENT is simply DEDICATED to the LORD..that THE LORD be GLORIFIED..Thankyou so much Fr.Mike for the powerful inspiring homily...Blessings and prayers 🙏
Amen my father. This is my first time to watch and listen your homily, i fell blessed and touched really. Am from DR. Congo, definitively i will do my best to follow you everyday.
A few months ago I received a book in the mail titled Holy Moments. I don't know who sent it or why I received it. This little book has sat beside my bed for some time, but only recently did I crack it open as begin to read a little before bed. And now you just used that phrase several times.
Father Mike, I had a question and I hope you can answer it. Do us as Catholics need to follow lent? Im questioning my faith because it is never stated in the Bible that we must follow it so what is the point? Not trying to be disrespectful at all just genuinely curious.
Why is Jesus called God's only begotten? Jesus is the only creature that God created with his own hands (Colossians 1:15, 1:18). Jesus is the only one who the Father has given life to give to us (John 5:26). This means Jesus is the first in existence, rank, etc, and was *given all power* over all flesh in heaven and on earth (John 17:2). In Matthew 11:27, Jesus said all things are delivered unto me from my Father, meaning God's power and spirit, words, healing, etc. In John 8:28, Jesus clearly says “he does nothing of himself, but only what the Father has taught him, he speaks these things,” including John 1:1-3. When Jesus said he does *NOTHING* of himself, he means exactly this-no more, no less. ALL THINGS came from God's foreknowledge, and Jesus was first, believe it or not. With the power and spirit given to him by God, his Father (John 20:17), Jesus made all things in heaven and earth. Jesus is above all, except God-his Father; for Jesus said “my Father is greater than I” (John 14:28, 1 Corinthians 8:6).
Father! Your homilies are "providence" to my soul! Thank you God for Father Mike!

So powerfull. Dziękuję.
Fr. Mike, this was the best sermon. God bless you and your vocation to the priesthood.
I begin my day with las Mananitas Tapatias and end it with Adios Reina del Cielo. I sing these with my morning and evening meals, after saying Grace.
I have to watch it again and write somewhere to make it a habit.
Happy Sunday everyone
Thank you
I wonder how many people want to be a saint to feel important, recognized or accomplished
Good to know Fr Mike is a fan of Lemony Snicket! Good taste.
Fr. Mike must be a speed reader. He mentioned so many books!
Amen my father. This is my first time to watch and listen your homily, i fell blessed and touched really. Am from DR. Congo, definitively i will do my best to follow you everyday.
Alleluia - thank you!!

This is a terrific homily Father Mike. Look forward to the next series. I am working on some holy moments today with my grandchildren.

Hindsfeet on High Places is awesome🎉❤😂 by Hanna Hurnard!
Beatrice may be a reference to Dante's Beatrice.
Father Mike, I had a question and I hope you can answer it. Do us as Catholics need to follow lent? Im questioning my faith because it is never stated in the Bible that we must follow it so what is the point? Not trying to be disrespectful at all just genuinely curious.
I need your advice I need your a get back to me
Would you take your time to help me out? I would appreciate your help
I need to talk to you
