Not me crying rn listening to Fr Mike describe that God loves me so much that I didn’t have to exist but I’m here bc he didn’t want to have a world without me in it. That hit me like a train. I so needed to hear that. 30 years away from the church and recently back after a powerful confession conversion has shown me for the first time that God is merciful and loves me unconditionally not because I’m “good”. But I never considered that he actually WANTS me to exist too. Wow. I’ll never forget hearing that. Thank you, Father Mike

I wanted to explore being a Catholic 3 years ago because my husband is on and we wanted to unite our families faith. Ive always been christian but going through the CIY and BIY helped me see God in a way I never have. I was confirmed catholic 2 years ago and have never felt closer to God. We are now raising our 3 year old and 7 year old Catholic. Our family has just changed in so many positive ways. Thank you so much for all you and the team do!

I am in Illinois and my prayer is for my friend, mother and family. Her mother has currently been given just 2 months to live. I pray for longer time, a peaceful passing, and strength and faith in their heart.
You're the best, Fr. Mike. You keep me going. See you in December
I'm here because I am often a very joyful person but often being ministering people in sorrow and not converted in the faith... I need help to keep my joy and love of JESUS.

Fr. Mike I'm from Denver CO
Fr. I'm watching Q & R and one of the questions was what stumps you, on the show. You couldn't answer the question of God being glorified. I understand praise and thanksgiving and we owe God for everything in our life.
Thank you for praying for all of us who can't attend Mass.
