Father Mike, I prayed to God to send me some help (I’ve been going through a rough time) and this video popped up. I had already listened to it 2 years ago; what you say just hits so hard. As a woman, finding a strong faithful Catholic man is what I pray for; everything as you described. This is exactly what men (and women) NEED to hear at this time. I pray for you and priests everyday, and I especially pray that you are able to deliver this message to men everywhere.
I watched mass today and thank God this came on. Its like I am sitting in a twelve step meeting. When you speak father, its always what I needed. God bless us and thank you for sharing your gift for the betterment of us all
Dear Father i really want to train myself to control angry thoughts angry words and angry deeds....i have to defeat the evil spirit of anger and make my Jesus proud. He is my only love i ever had...cant disappoint Him. Do pray for me dear Father..you are annointed. Thank you
Might it be accurate to say "We cannot do it by our strength." With me, it is lust. The big hurdle was won by surrendering to God, inviting the Holy Spirit. Today, the only thing I can contribute is no / zero looking. I cannot look at something to check if it is something I should not look at. I used to also have a high level of rage in me. The most memorable word I heard in a prayer meeting was "Abide in Me." I hope this helps.
Incredible lecture! Such truth and love. Thank-you Father Schmitz and please keep 'em coming! I have listened to so many of your talks and they are always spot on. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you, and God Bless you!!
Fr Mike thank you for all your talks , i have been watching all your videos during the Circuit Breaker in Singapore (Lockdown). It’s very uplifting especially for teens. God bless you.
I just want you to know that I voted in God's favour during the Brexit election, and I really felt that the devil had swung it in his favour, anti God, no matter what.
Wow! Thank you father Mike. This was a great inspiration. I listen to your videos on my lunch break at work, you really help people to find more strength to pursue the Lord. Thanks for being funny, kind and relatable. Hope you make it to Florida (Springhill/ Brooksville )area one time. Would love to invite my friends and family to the refreshing vibe you bring when teaching/ spreading the word. Ps Bible in a year Rocks!!!
The moment of choice mickey, when you were supposed to call the cops when one of those fellow priests of yours was abusing one of our boys. Duluth is infested with that, i am sure mickey chose not to do his duties and let the priest has his way with our boy.
Praise be to God for HIM broke me to call me back to be a Catholic man to do HIS work and to love the one I have promised to love even in the midst of being taken away for what seemed to be good.
Incredible. I want every human to hear your words. We need to change our lives. Thank you Fr Mike for showing and telling us how. What a blessing you are.
@46:29...I am so triggered...I was on the roof of a building once , pregnant and sitting there with my cell phone and my phone had no apps open...but somehow caught the Quebec "crazy train" that went off the rails and blew up and I heard people screaming and dying...I was in shock and confused what was happening and ...months later it was still on my mind and I was searching internet for more information about it...(I'm not saying I'm beautiful or anything quite the opposite) .. but this part really triggers me and CPTSD issues. ...
@20:05...yeahhhh...I a bit of a control drama queen mixed with submissive obedient ...until you screw up then it's take it back and be queen again lol...
@19:00 ....yeah sorry to *interrupt your men's meeting* but .just want to chime in and say one thing and you can carry on whatever...."When the man has NO CONTROL and it's a SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN....the woman has no choice but to take control...okay?..." *IN SOME CASES*
@48:57 ....You are leaving out the part where they don't want to go back because of forced marriages to relatives and/or lack of attraction to their wives ....or unhealthy relationships and avoiding all confrontation from small things to big important conversations ...unfortunately which leads to divorces...*some cases worse fates * :(
