I just want to say that, as a non-Catholic Christian, I get so much out of your videos. They inspire me and challenge me to look at the Scriptures in different ways sometimes. I really appreciate you Fr. Mike and everyone who makes this ministry possible. God Bless all of you this year.
Ryan Clegg Would you ever consider becoming a Catholic? There’s so much more that the Church has to offer that I believe would amaze you. It’s very profound and fulfilling
Danballs I’m actually not looking to switch denominations atm. I like mine (IPHC) and find it to be a great place to serve and very fulfilling. That being said, I came here to hear what the Catholic Church believes because to an outsider it can be very confusing... there’s a lot of misinformation out there. I’ve found that we are closer doctrinally than I had thought. And, now, I am considering going to a Catholic Mass. I am interested in learning more about Catholicism, though. Any recommended Media?
Ryan Clegg I don't know what particular type of media you were looking for but one good source is a catholic radio station available across the country called EWTN. There are different segments with different knowledgeable people through out the day. If you follow this link you can select your state and see what the station is near you! www.ewtn.com/dm/ra/printable.aspx God Bless!
Ryan Clegg You can also check out Bishop Barron’s video’s on youtube - they are fantastic and I definitely recommend going there. You can also go to ChurchMilitant.com (or .tv I think) that also provides great resources for understanding Catholicism
"What kind of person do I really believe God wants me to be by the end of this year" My vision of that has resulted in me joining in the RCIA and getting baptised and confirmed this year. Thank you and God bless you Fr Mike!
"I'm not going to wait for my emotions to catch up with where I'm supposed to be." Wow. That really struck me. That's my problem with a lot of things, that I'm "lukewarm" about what I'm supposed to be doing, that I often let that emotion control me. It's hard sometimes to tell that emotion "No. I'm taking action."
Father Mike is very wise. We don’t need to climb some mountain to find a man sitting down to ask him for wisdom, We should just watch Father Mike! I love this dude! aha
Amazing! I'm Buddhist and don't believe in externally existing God but I stopped by this channel because of how amazing you are! You are so clear, bright and happy! It warms my heart to see such kind of content connected with religion. And the video made a lot of sense and gave me some inspiration because with a simple shift in terms it is perfectly appliable to my ideology and it reminds me of the ways of achieving the things I want and making the person I aspire to be. Great work, keep it up! I rejoice 😀😉
Anastasia, you're right - Father Mike is awesome! If you're interested, you can see a ton of other great videos from him (and some other resources - podcasts, articles, etc.) listed here: catholicreligionteacher.com/fr-mike-schmitz/
Anastasia, the even more amazing thing is that he is even more awesome in person. My wife and I met him and were so impressed that we made this video on it ua-cam.com/video/cfroQY81TzM/v-deo.html&t=.
Me encantó este vídeo. "Puedes elegir a Dios aunque no lo sientas", este principio nos permite liberarnos de la esclavitud de las emociones y los sentimientos y contribuye a sostener nuestro sí fiel. Gracias padre Mike
Despite not being Catholic I can honestly say, Father Mike's videos are very entertaining. While I may disagree with him sometimes, I really like his thought process, the parts where we agree, the rationalization of his faith; in general I feel Father Mike is a generally intelligent person. So a pleasure to know you Father; the world could more people like you!
I am praying for you! And do not be afraid, the consecrated sisters in my community are some of the most helpful guiding lights in my life. Maybe visit a convent (or a couple). May the Lord lead you clearly.
Thank you Fr Mike... Very reassuring message.. Specially if we don't feel anything but still have the will to choose the Lord... God keeps his promises... So "nothing is in vain..."
Thank you father Mike, your videos had helped me a lot to strength my faith, and every time I can I share them with friends and family, so please, keep on doing them. God bless you all! 🙏 And have a blessed and wonderful New year! 🙏
Amazing video Fr. Mike, one of my faves!! I was just talking to a friend who reeeally needs motivation for change, I'm considering sending her this video even tough she's not a catholic. Your amazing personality would light up anyone's day as it did mine, thank you!
As a non-Catholic Christian, I say send the video. Truth is truth. It is time to tear down the walls between Protestants and Catholics. If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin, died in our place, and rose again three days later, then we are family.
Your impression was so fun! I love the new year as well, and all the inspiration for change it brings. I agree that it's all about the small steps every day that really add up to changes, and I know that I can only really do that by really being faithful and consistent. Thank you for the reminder.
God protect he.help he with everything he need help on.god love you.When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. Isaiah 43:2 ESV.God protect and help he family and he friends.Do you have anything else you want I praying for you or your family or anyone?Good night.have a wonderful nigth.sweet dream
#askfathermike What is the difference between faith and faithfulness? Is faith a feeling or something else? Thank you so much for this video, Father. This came at a wonderful time for me :) God Bless.
What a Godsend!! God blessed us with your wisdom and voice, thank you. I just love to hear you explain stuff and love how funny you are. I wish i could play your videos for my catechism class. God bless.
I love Your talks. You are amazing and a great Blessing to all of us. thank you and Thank you God for fr mike schmitz. God Has blessed us by giving you to the world to share your wisdom. Amen
Fr mike please read this! You always have mentioned things like the dangers of Netflix, social media, the phone, and technology in general. Does that mean it is better for us not to have it at all or just use it with moderation? Is it more virtuous to use it for a certain amount of time or to not have any of that stuff in the first place? thank you
Im new to your channel father mike and ive already watched all the videos with you in them. I love you man your like the older me! Lol so ive been trying to change all my ways and ive been doing great. But at night when I sleep I dream of literally everything Im trying to stop and its getting kind of demonic in a way. I got attacked by a demon girl with a burned face because I tried to help her instead of have sex with her and in my dream she bit me and its like i actually felt it. I woke up right after and it felt like my finger tips were being chewed even though in the dream she bit my forearm. Do you have any explanations for this? Or maybe you could make a video based on dreams/ dream attacks?
francisco aguirre sounds very distressing! Surely the enemy doesn't like the good change in your life. Please go see a priest in person and ask him to pray over you about this. The Holy Spirit and the authority Jesus has given the Church in His name are more powerful than evil spirits!
I like this video, but I could have used an example. LOL. I know this is a simple concept, but if God wants me to be a better at say... saying more rosaries, then what do I do when I come home from work and I don't feel like saying a rosary? What measure do I put into place to help me achieve that goal? Silly I know.

Yes!! Watching ewtn is a great way to learn about the catholic faith!

Welcome home, and God bless!
Alan7997 Welcome Alan!
Alan7997 Me too!
Kenny Gray hooray!
Thanks be to God. I have been Catholic for almost 19 years. When I converted I felt so much closer to the trinity.

Maria I all of Schmitz intros are annoying
Me encantó este vídeo. "Puedes elegir a Dios aunque no lo sientas", este principio nos permite liberarnos de la esclavitud de las emociones y los sentimientos y contribuye a sostener nuestro sí fiel. Gracias padre Mike
Your mimicry of Sylvester Stallone was so on point! :D
Despite not being Catholic I can honestly say, Father Mike's videos are very entertaining. While I may disagree with him sometimes, I really like his thought process, the parts where we agree, the rationalization of his faith; in general I feel Father Mike is a generally intelligent person. So a pleasure to know you Father; the world could more people like you!
That Sly Stallone impression was spot on 😂😂
Totally. lol.
I know right... 🤣🥊👍🏻
I'm discerning religious life and am still confused (and a little afraid, may I add?). Prayers are appreciated.
I am praying for you! And do not be afraid, the consecrated sisters in my community are some of the most helpful guiding lights in my life. Maybe visit a convent (or a couple). May the Lord lead you clearly.
Check out his "meaning of the cross" video
Maria Pullatt Psalm 46...... my prayers are with you🙏
You are not alone...read Psalm 46....
Father Mike; can you give us a message about ‘quietness’?
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man...
Thank you so much Father Mike, for your consistency in Lord's path. God bless you so much more.
I've learnt a lot with this video. Thank you!
I don't have any religious affiliations but find your videos very interesting. It helps me to understand my neighbors who do have a religion better.
I love the sincerity he has for Christ in his eyes.
Father Mike when you become Pope keep the smile shining eyes and wonddrful wisdom
I have not broken a new years resolution in 20 years!!!! I have not made one to break in that same timeframe, and that's the secret!
Thank you Fr Mike... Very reassuring message.. Specially if we don't feel anything but still have the will to choose the Lord... God keeps his promises... So "nothing is in vain..."
Thank you, Father. I really need this.
Thank you father Mike, your videos had helped me a lot to strength my faith, and every time I can I share them with friends and family, so please, keep on doing them. God bless you all! 🙏 And have a blessed and wonderful New year! 🙏
Amen! Consistency is faithfulness. Love it. I have taped this message and 1 Cor 15:58 to my computer!
🙌

Well said. Thank you! I feel like I just watched Rocky!
LOL Yo Adrian! I did it! - I made a promise to complete your Bible study in a year. Happy New Year and God Bless you, Fr. Mike!!!

Eating while watching unexpected impressions of Sylvester Stallone = laughing and food falling out of mouth
Fr. Mike's videos should come with a warning to not eat or drink due to unexpected humor. Good point! Haha
You are a light which direct minds to the right path Fr Mike.. !
❤❤❤❤❤
#askfathermike What is the difference between faith and faithfulness? Is faith a feeling or something else? Thank you so much for this video, Father. This came at a wonderful time for me :) God Bless.
I'm officially a FMS groupie. The Rocky impersonation did it.
Words of wisdom....
What a Godsend!! God blessed us with your wisdom and voice, thank you. I just love to hear you explain stuff and love how funny you are. I wish i could play your videos for my catechism class. God bless.
Hey Father! I love all of your videos!! I subscribed and turned on notifications!!!
Father Mike: thank you for ALL of your videos. They always come into my life at the right moment.
Such a good role model, one of my favourite Saints now is St. Paul because of his videos!

Fr. Mike, you rock that full beard look. Cool.
Fr mike please read this! You always have mentioned things like the dangers of Netflix, social media, the phone, and technology in general. Does that mean it is better for us not to have it at all or just use it with moderation? Is it more virtuous to use it for a certain amount of time or to not have any of that stuff in the first place? thank you

What was the verse he quoted at the end of the video?
sarah johnson 1 Corinthians 15:58
Yo’ Adrian...🤣🤣🤣
Video TOPIC idea - "should dating couples go to adoration together"
That awesome moment when you and Fr. Mike make a video on the same topic and release it on the same day! ua-cam.com/video/QxT-gNep5mA/v-deo.html
You don't have to stick to any resolution if you don't make any.
This whole time, I thought you stood up when you made your videos
Anyone else Google the Rocky training montage right after watching this video? :) ua-cam.com/video/CaagSfBj2To/v-deo.html
Father Mike could you please explain JP2 “Totus Tuus”
Fr. Mike can you be my spiritual director to guide me into the seminary
So, it's not a green screen after all!
Can you talk about high school dating
How do i contact Ft. Mike?
I like this video, but I could have used an example. LOL. I know this is a simple concept, but if God wants me to be a better at say... saying more rosaries, then what do I do when I come home from work and I don't feel like saying a rosary?

Does anyone know if Father Mike has a personal email or some other form through which I can contact him?
