Fr. Mike Schmitz: Share | SEEK2019 

Dear God please give the world more priest like Father Mike. We need them. Bless him and protect him.

An amazing priest! The Church needs more of such leaders! Bless you, Fr.Mike

I’m attending my first ever Catholic service this month after being a Baptist for my entire life ❤️ these videos inspire me more than anything else I’ve experienced. Thank you. Praise God.

I was listening to this talk while doing my weekly jog routine casually...until I started sobbing and sobbing and didn’t care if people saw me crying like a wreck while running. Thank you Fr. Mike for helping me release the emotions I haven’t expressed for a while. 🥺

I came across your site three weeks ago and now, everyday I listen to one your videos. I don't know how many there are but I am enjoying it and taking notes and I know that with these given knowledge, I can bring my children back to church....back to God. I am from Malaysia and I thank God our path 'crossed.' Thank you Father Mike. You are the angel God sent.

I moved to a new state, a new life 8 months ago. And like the girl who left the Newman House Masses and dinners crying, people here are friendly but I haven't made one real friend here. And I hurt and feel alone even though I attend church regularly. But I hear your message - my environment/culture will kill my spirit and faith if I let this aloneness continue. Your words make it known to me that I can "belong" more as a Catholic just by making a change (taking action ) and becoming more involved in my church. Thank you, Fr Mike.

first time i saw a priest cry.

Father Son Holy Spirit, Mother Mary, All Holy Saints and Angels surround and protect from satan and all evil spirits Father Mike, ALL clergy, Consecrated Religious men and women, seminarians now and always. Give them Lord every possible blessing and grace they need to do YOUR will.

I just discovered this special human on Christmas night when googling.🙏🇦🇺

"Indifference isn't not caring; Indifference is not caring enough to act"

FR. Mike....a Saint in the making!

"Your environment will eat your willpower for breakfast"-Fr Mike

Oh my goodness that last story...

Your humility is such a gift; may God bless you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. If more Christians were open and honest like this it would break down so many barriers within the church.

I saw this video as I kept on scrolling and decided to watch. I’ve never seen a priest talked so powerful and very moving. I was so touch. God bless you Fr. Mike.

Thank you for sharing such a personal story Fr. Mike. I also like what you said about, "Everyone is friendly, but no one wants to be my friend." I feel that way a lot around my peers at college. It is nice that somebody put words to that.

that moved me so much. The part with Lucy, and how bad Fr. Mike felt really touched my heart. I think it is so beautiful how he shares his personal struggles and how he gets back up from them. I love listening to these and I really hope I can go to Seek in the future!

Fr. Mike, you sure are a useful instrument in God's hands. Keep inspiring, I'm so thankful for you! God bless you and keep you ever young at heart. Amen! With lots of love for you & yours at Ascension presents. You give us hope!

Waw Fr Mike what a talk! Always great. But the thing about indifference really touched my heart. I will do my best to move when others need my help...I will walk out of my comfort zone and act with God's help. God bless you Father. You are indeed doing great works among those youths. I promise you my prayers.

It is joy to hear you speak from the depth of your heart , mind and soul a true gift from God Thank you for all you do ✝️

Thank you Fr: Mike for you uplifting sermons, lying in my bed with my husband this Saturday morning and listening to you, my heart was blessed and encourage to love Jesus more, and to love those difficult people in our environment. Thank you Fr:Mike God bless you 🙏

Since my friend introduced your video, I keep watching more. You open my eyes to my faith. God bless you father

Thanks Fr, you made this grown man (with a beard) cry 😭.

My name ain't Lucy but I Cry now you got me crying God bless you all

I can feel the Holy Spirit working in you. Thank you for all the inspiring talks. 🙏

This ministered to me today ❤️❤️

Something that I notice with Fr. Mike that is sort of running is that he seems to be crying when he is telling these speeches as if the words that he is saying is too full of love to keep it under bounds where no one notices.

Fr. Schumitz, I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for you. God bless.

Impressive motivation to dig deeper into thoughts of perception then asking yourself questions on what you’d do in different scenarios given to you to make actions count. Bravooooo!

Thank you father so much for helping with my faith.You are in angel sent from heaven for me

Thank you Fr. Mike, God Bless you always, reminding us, with your own experiences, on what really matters. Thanks a million. Praying for you and your team and priests all over the world and our dear Pope Francis. Amen

Fr. Mike thank you for strengthing my faith. Stay blessed always

Powerful, You continue to laugh through these speeches while God stands beside you. You talk about things. Things that will comfort and heal people. God bless you Fr. Mike, Please continue to Inspire all Lousie's. :)

Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. This is very moving.

Fr. Mike, you are truly an inspiration for all youth.. Just love your love for Our Lord and Mama Mary... You always give me hope.. Thank you.. and God bless you :-)

I live in the 🇵🇭 and I am a Roman Catholic unfortunately we have POOR catechism here.

I'm not crying; you're crying!

Fr Mike you are a true inspiration, i love how real you are, you are not afraid of crying front of others, you are not afraid of being silly, you are not afraid of being so honest about Christ and how much he gave for us. I am a Catechist, and often i share my experiences with my students, and often i have cried, acted silly and being honest with them, you have shown me the confidence to be who God has called me to be. I respect you so much, because although in our eyes, you are a very handsome man, but you don't let that get to you. I went many years being afraid of being who i was because i just saw the lust in men's eyes, but i have become comfortable enough with myself that i don't think of that at all. Thank you for being such an inspiration. You are truly a Godsend and i aspire to be more like you are. God bless you. Your Sister in Christ. Maria

EXCELLENT.. Inspirational Message. Thank you Fr Mike. I added this video to my blog for tomorrow.

Thankful for Father Mike preaching to all of us Catholics during this time of Lent! 3/19! First time I heard him speaking with thousands of people inside the house of the Lord. I had tears running down my eyes and Father Mike had same tears speaking about Lucy, my spirit is with himself too. God Bless you Father Mike.

Hi. How wonderful and amazing how God our Father brings His children together and uplifts them. You are an inspiration and you have been given a gift to heal and bring people to God. I thank God and you for you. Keep the faith!

Amen I love Jesus Chist

Thank you, I have endless gratitude for you God bless us all.

It’s good to check ourselves to see what burner we put the Lord on. We want Him on the front burner, and if we Absentmindedly put Him on the back burner we can still put Him on the front burner. He has full permission to put His fire on my soul. It’s up to me to stoke the fire 🔥. Great message thank you for being transparent and inspiring us with your love for Him.

So inspirational! Thank you Father Mike for these words of encouragement.

this is so very true!!! There is so much focus on competition and grades and work and learning

That beard is legendary

Wow Fr Mike, keep going...great ministry, my prayers for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you, Fr Mike,! Thank you for sharing your blessings and gifts🙏❤️😇

God bless you Father! 🙏

In tears even before you explained about what happened to Lucy . Thank you for your words and for spreading the gospel!

Praise and thanks to our God for the wonders he has done for us, and for sustaining us each and every day.

Powerful!! Thank you, Father Mike God bless you always 🙏🏻

Even today despite getting God's experience some of us still takes everything for granted. Hope through this teaching we will become stronger in our faith 🙏

Thank you father ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

just what i needed. praying for a spirit of remembrance!

Bless you Father Mike .

Lord thank you for your word through father, God bless him, I received it🙏🏽

A wonderful speech! Greetings from Spain

I understand needing a friend... I have felt friendless since middle school. You honestly never understand why. I still don't. Perhaps if I had friends to talk about God with I might had remembered my faith along time ago. Or better, would never had lost it... God gave us Each other. That means he gave you to the person with no one. They don't even need you to be their best friend... but letting them come to watch a movie... letting them join your study group. Inviting them to eat out, or to a party... Inviting them to a Talk just like this one. Can make all the difference in the world. The devil loves people that are alone. He makes sure that their worlds are so dark, they forget he's even there. Or... worse.. that not even Jesus's cares. And that is a really dark and lonely place. Father Mike is so right... This world. The lonely people need friends. That is.. you... Amen. God Bless you.

thank you for this message.. wow it has really lifted me up.

O Come Holy Spirit, Living In Mary. Mother us Faith, Hope and Love. Ps 105:1 “Love God, serve God; everything is in that.” Jn 10:27 😇st Clare of Assisi please pray 4us

All glory to God! Keep doing his work Father! God bless you and protect you.

Truth and Love right here!!! If I want a friend I need to be a friend. 😊

Thank you father Mike! God bless

Lucy's episode reminds me to tell you this. I also broke my patella in my gym on the 4th of March 2020 just when the Covid 19. I was in the hospital for about 1 1/2 month and it hurts me to say that our priests never even gave a call even though they knew it. There are wires in my knee and it hurts like hell even now and the drs say the pain will never go as the patella had broken into pieces. When I heard this talk of yours I also got tears in my eyes. You strengthen my soul and I now do not feel sorry for myself though my life is changed now. Thank you from the core of my heart.

Love you so much, Father

Phewwwww that was good. So moving. Thank you Fr. Mike.

Love you Fr. Mike. Just to help you out with your Human Planet references, the father and son caught a Greenland Shark (Whale sharks weigh around 20 tons and prefer tropical oceans), and the African hunters stole a leg of wildebeest (not water buffalo). God bless Fr. Mike!

God bless

Amen

Thank you for this message Fr. Greetings from Nigeria

You are so awesome and you hate your soul. I so appreciate you and how you present the word of God. Thank you!!! God bless, Lucy.

So much joy in his face.

So thankful for someone putting these ideas and thoughts into relatable anecdotes! God bless!

I know that I am commenting late, lol.. only a little, any'who.. I wanted to say, that I distinctly remember, feeling as though, I was alone.. when my parents and grandparents passed, I was looking for someone, anyone to.. simply, be there.. at the time, I had drifted away from God, for reasons I blamed on not getting the answers I wanted, and was a very angry young man.. but, when I spent the 2 years in and out of hospital rooms and funeral homes, I just felt.. empty, I would cry, wishing that the empty condolences and hollow "how are you doing" chit chat.. was a real care or concern, I would look around and see the looks and smiles, but.. no one ever cared enough to act.. sorry, I am rambling.. I want to say, that past experience can either harden or reshape who you are.. I work in Hospice now, Nursing and Grief Ministry.. because, I want to make sure.. that, at least the people I can influence and care for.. have someone, to simply be there.. and care

So I listened to this talk a couple of days ago. Then the very next day I saw my Lucie. I had made plans to meet a friend for lunch. This friend told me where exactly to meet him, but could not remember the name of the pita restaurant. He said that he would text me when he got there but he was absolutely sure it was at the SE corner or University and Priest Dr. in Tempe. So I get there but did not see a sushi bar and a liqueur store. I stay in my car with the doors locked in this really sketchy parking lot. As I look to my right I see two empty parking spaces and a Blue Toyota Prius with Illinois plates in the 3rd spot over. As I start at the driver's erratic movements, I see that he buckles his seat belt. I think for a few moments and realize that this guy is tripping on something super strong and getting ready to drive his car. As I debate whether to call the police I remember this talk I had heard the day before and Lucie. So I call 911. I tell them what's going on and they ask for his plate number. I give it to them but he's still in his parking stall wiping his face, flipping the mirrors in the car back and forth, twitching, flailing his arms. He sat there for a good 10 minutes, then he proceeds out of the parking spot while I'm on the phone with the officers. So I follow him for a few minutes but he begins to swerve all over the place on Priest Dr. About then I see the officers behind me. Don't know what would have happened if I did not call when I did, but I feel he was my Lucie.

Fr Mike , thank you from the heart ,for all your work to Christ ,and to the bride of Christ "The Catholic Church", God bless you.

1st comment and view! I'm early! God bless Fr Mike!

Amazing priest

College IS the most selfish time in a persons life. Sooooo true.

Amen!!

When he started to talk about the people who live in the polar, I knew where it was going because I live in Alaska. I dont have to live like that, luckily but I know so many that do live like that at least for part of the year

FOR THE RECORD PERCUSSIONISTS ARE THE BEST INSTRUMENTALISTS BECAUSE WE PLAY A TON OF INSTRUMENTS AND WE KNOW RHYTHM WHILE LITERALLY KNOW ELSE DOES THATS THE TEA SIS

Amen 🙏🏼

i cant stop crying

Why some Roman Catholic priest not preaching the same like you? Roman Catholic here in the Philippines I only seen them in the mass. I want this kind of preaching and its not boring. I really feel the spirit when I listened at you. I listened to born again preaching and he has the same spirit as you.

Makes me think of C.I.Y (Christ In Youth) I would be excited than fall a week or two after.

🙏🏼

❤️❤️❤️

Jesus is the Son of God. God is his Father.

sounds very much like Fr. Giussani!

❤😊✨

May 13 Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.

Oh my.....hilarious. My sixth grader is the Fr. Mick Schmitz the early years. Seriously he even created his own Indian Jones party when he was 7.

I believe in Jesus and he died for our sins but I've always prayed to my father who I my goodness I know there's a God I died so many years ago and was sent back so I seen with my own eyes and I remember with my own thoughts 30 something years ago and he came with a message to speak to the church a couple years ago so I know this is a God but I feel funny praying and Jesus's name for right always called on God my father so I don't mean to insult but I feel funny praying in Jesus's name I don't know why it doesn't seem natural to me and I keep praying to my father to ask him if that's how I need to pray and I get no answer I guess I'll just keep praying

Oh boy that hurt my heart.

October 13th

I felt so bad when he told that Lucy story. He must've felt awful afterwards and she must've as well. I just hope she didn't stop listening to his podcasts and watching his videos :/ But apart from that sha, this was a really good talk.
