Truly a blessing. Thank you for being a wonderful teaching priest and thank you for the Latin mass.
We do need this on the mass. It is a great help to open clearly that we can understand better and get to mass not only on sunday.Many days thanks Father Mike
What a beautiful discription of the Mass, truly a time of solemn worship as a community of Jesus Christ Our Lord 🙏🙏
Thank you Father. Im forwarding your videos to my parish in Florida.
Thank you, Father Mike. You are truely a holy man, and the church is so fortunate to have a priest like you. God bless you.
Thank you Father for your dedicated effort to make known the mass. Your explanation of the Lord’s Supper is very thorough and detailed, and yet seems more appropriate for seminarians, than for the average person with an interest in the Catholic Christian faith. I’m reminded of those 12 simple fisherman that Jesus addressed , as He simply and essentially told them to, “Do this in memory of me”.
In saying this, I don’t mean to diminish the importance of the Liturgy of the Word that sets the stage for the Eucharistic celebration.
Thank Father for this wonderful explanation of our beautiful Catholic Mass. :)
Thank you Fr. Mike. A wonderful explanation of our Holy Mass.

Thank you Father!🙏
Father Michael, I am a devout 51 year old Catholic. But I have a question and need to humble myself to ask. Up until the last 4 or so years, my parish didn't burn incense at weekly mass. Only on occasions like Advent, Christmas, Easter would they burn it. Now it is burned every week. I listened to your video which was wonderful, but can you explain to a layperson when did this start? And if I may, when did reciting ST. Michael prayer at the end of mass begin? Again, 4 or 5 years ago, my parish never said it. Thank you.
Incense goes back to Jewish history and then was used from the very beginning of Christian worship. There are even a number of references to incense throughout Holy Scripture. Through the wisdom of the church it is used to excite all of our senses. We see the liturgy unfold before us, feel the body of Christ when we receive Him, listen to the Word of God, sing hymns and smell burning incense. Together, its a complete and beautiful way to experience the celebration of the Eucharist. The St. Michael Prayer is also a beautiful way to pray for help in avoiding the temptations of the devil. As far as I know, it’s not required to be prayed, but certainly all of the churches in our diocese pray this prayer. Hope that helps. Blessings!

Have Adoration of the Eucharist a hour or more and i will come
Get Perpetual Adoration started, lead the effort. Don’t wait for someone else to do what you can do.

My pleasure😅
Our priest had us genuflect during the Creed today instead of bowing. I guess that is what we will do from now on.
No cardinal 🎉
He should be a Bishop!
This is a wonderful illustration of the Old Testament practice in the tent of meeting. Moses was given the instructions on how God said it had to be. Priests, incense, a perfect animal for sacrifice, cleansing, the tabernacle, the veil and the Holy of Holies. It is beautiful but we don't live under the Mosaic Law and works... Jesus fulfilled all of the Law. We are the New Testament Church.. The veil has been torn and we have access to the throne room of God through the shed blood of Jesus. We are to live by faith in Christ. This is a great explanation of the old covenant. But you can not mix Law and grace. Jesus explained the old and the new by saying that no one puts old wine into new wineskins. Also he said that you can't sew a new patch on an old garment. You can't mix the Law and Grace. Jesus was crucified ONCE AND FOR ALL.. Not over and over in every mass. This is wrong and great as this explanation is, it leads people to works. If you believe that Jesus is the Host, and the priest breaks the body of Christ, this is wrong practice. And if you believe the Host is Jesus why do you take Him in again and again and again and again. This is practicing unbelief. He said I will never leave you or forsake you... Please read your Bible for the truth of the New Testament Church.. You are the Church. You are the Saints..
We agree with you that Jesus did fulfill the mosaic law. And the veil has been torn and the church, Jesus' bride, has been unveiled. However we do not sacrifice Jesus over and over in the mass so I would like to clarify this to you. What the mass is, is a representation of Jesus eternal sacrifice in heaven. Jesus took his sacrifice into heaven and offers it to the father as an eternal sacrifice to him for all eternity. Revelation 5:6 shows Jesus in heaven as though slain. Also Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 says that Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed and for us to keep the feast. So that is what we do in the mass, we keep the feast.
"The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner"(Catechism of the Catholic Church pg 1367)
Hope this clarifies it a little bit. Feel free to respond and ask questions about it!
Millie, the Catholic Church wrote the Canon of the Bible. We know the truth, and only the Catholic Church has the authority to interpret scripture.
The misunderstandings in your comment are common throughout Protestantism, that’s understandable.
Thanks for stopping by, I pray you come to know the full truth, not the stripped down version. Jesus isn’t sacrificed over and over again. Pray the scripture, not just read it. Christ asked us to do this in remembrance of Him. “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood will have life in Me, and My life will be in him.” This frightened so many of His disciples that many left. Jesus turned to the remaining disciples and asked, “Are you going to leave me too?” Peter answered, “Lord, you have the truth. To whom shall we go?”
Pray through the entire scripture, understand the place and time, and to whom it was directed, taken out of context it can easily be misunderstood and then people run with half-truths, designed to fit their own liking.
We are “working out our salvation,” as St. Paul says in the New Testament. God calls us to metanoia, Greek for continuing conversion. He loves us too much to watch us wither, He wants to challenge us to grow in faith and “Faith without works is dead.” It’s in your Bible!
Works of grace and mercy strengthen our faith! We grow in virtue. Corporal (of the body) and spiritual works help us grow in faith and humility. A quick run down the aisle doesn’t do it, salvation is freely given if one accepts it. One can also lose their salvation by their own choice and actions. Christ will go after the wandering lamb, yet He won’t force it to follow Him since that lamb has free will.
What you do with His free gift is your choice. Make this world a better place, or go kick back and feel saved and good to go?
Peace and love be with you 🙏

remember the bible says: Luke 22:18 for I tell you [that] from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19* j Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” also in John 6: 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.…"(Jesus established only one church, was it yours? no yours was invented 1600+ years after Christ had died)
