Sometimes love is just showing up.
At the twilight of our lives, we will be judged on love alone. And to love is to give. Love almost always involves sacrifice. Because there is no present like the time.

I will make this my reaction for the rest of my life, here I am. As a mom, your pain and love touched me to my core. God bless you, abundantly.

Thank you Jesus for never leaving my side because everyone else has! Jesus! I PRAISE you! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I feel like a failure but I will keep faith. Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing and so thankful to be working but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. I started homeschooling them because they were having so many issues with bullying. I feel so alone. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. Jesus hear my cries I’m so tired. But I have faith! I WILL NOT FEAR! I know God will continue to provide for me and my children. So I praise you Jesus! And thank you in advance! ❤

Thank you for sharing this. I'm in a similar situation. It's very scary and I pray God helps me to keep the faith.

Beautiful homily. A few thoughts I noted to remember. "You never regret going to a funeral." "Here I am. Sometimes love is simply showing up." "Love without sacrifice is just a mere convenience." Thank you, Ascension

@pam7533 Год назад

After hearing about your mother and her willingness to "just show up" to prepare every meal even though she didn't really want to shows so much caring and love. Just like you Father "show up" every day with your CIY and BIY to help countless people with their search for God and understanding our Faith. Thank you Father Mike for your extraordinary dedication and generosity.

@ifeomaoluhara9421 Год назад

I tell you Pam, Fr Mike keeps showing up everyday and every week for us. God bless his kind heart 🙏

Love costs sacrifice, or else it’s just mere convenience. Thank you Jesus!

He has “made” me listen to the Bible and the Catechism and has made it so, so easy to do. And I have never stopped doing it. THANK YOU, FATHER MIKE!!!! 🙏🏻⛪️🔔

@user-ou8jz9ri5y Год назад

Your sermon struck a chord with me. My Mom didn't enjoy cooking at all, but she was just like your Mom and had it ready everyday at a set time. We didn't know then how much love she had to put into every meal. She was always there and always sacrificed for all six of us and our Dad. I hope I can follow her example and say, "Here I am." God bless you in your mourning Fr. Mike❤. Your ministry touches so many.

This video sums up love for sure! My husband has a hard time understanding what it means to be in love with someone. When I married my husband, I sacrificed my heart for him. I never judged him and not even now through this struggle we’re facing. Instead, I pray daily for my husband. If he only knew how much my heart has given him. Whitney Houston sang “The greatest love of all”. Love is great! Love is showing up. Love is so much more than we realize. Love does concur all! Everyday, I choose Gods love! It’s Gods love who has helped me to love. Thank you for this video…. ❤️

I strongly believe that God brought me to Father Mike . I feel uplifted by his words ever since I have been listening to him. God loves you Father Mike and thank you .

Love= Sacrifice =Love:) Beautiful Homily, thanks Fr. My dad's first death anniversary will be next month. He sacrificed a lot for the family. First 6 months after his death, a white butterfly will visit my mom & and stay in the house , in our living room 'til she slept & in the morning, it's gone. Same time each day. We kept offering a mass for his soul! We're so blessed for God's love for all of us!

Thank you, Fr. Mike, for showing your love for us here, weekly, on Sundays Masses. Your presence here is priceless to countless souls. I know it's tough to share such intimate memories you have, but you did it anyway, because you are strong in love as I can see. Thank you for sharing such beautiful, timeless treasures you have with your parents. My sincere condolences to you and family. I believe our Lord, Jesus Christ, have them nearby Him at all times, now and forever. Love you, Fr. Mike.😑🙏✝️

"Showing Up"-that has been my main motto for 2023 (probably a correction of the years where I could not show up.)

@annatheawesome1 Год назад

Just buried my grandma on Thursday and this is really relatable. My grandma wasn't flashy and didn't have any notable talents, but the thing that I, my siblings and my cousins all noted in our memories of her is that she was present. She would show up to all our birthdays and events while we were growing up. Even as adults she would call us on our birthdays and slip us a $10 when we saw her next. Sometimes love is just showing up.

My uncle died April 3, 2023; the same time that your mother died. I think. I just found out about you; at lesson 109 of the CIY. I am so sorry for you. Be Comforted in Jesus.

Nurses are funny people, I'm a nurse, my mom was a nurse, and we are a unique bunch. We are horrible cooks and we both hate cooking. My kid is being raised up on microwavable struddles but with chocolate dizzle.😂 We are tremendously overprotective caretakers in all areas even though we aren't really feeling like doing it at times. Bless your mom, she did good raising you, job well done.

@zsofiujfalussy9919 Год назад

My mother died on Ash Wednesday this year , I truly share your loss and feelings. I can say that God and His grace was with us all and now we have His peace. My prayers are with you and your family. 🙏❤

@unclemano Год назад

Love that you guys offer this "short cut" to Fr. Mike's sermon (after attending local mass), and the editing "zooms ins" may be a little heavy handed and unnecessary. I prefer to discover his words of wisdom on my own without the flash signal that what he's about to say is really important. Appreciate the editing work and sometimes less is more.

RE NEFARIOUS - I have yet to hear anyone comment on what happened at the end of the movie when the psychiatrist put a gun to his own throat - the real reason why it misfired three times - it was the action of the Trinity after the psychiatrist PRAYED THESE WORDS: "GOD HELP ME PLEASE" - no one has yet to comment on this - THIS IS A MAJOR CLUE ON HOW TO DISENGAGE WITH THE DEMONIC - to PRAY ALOUD : GOD HELP ME PLEASE - and bam - things will dissipate quickly! - Fr. Peter Anthony, JSC

No one but Jesus says "Here I am" to me. I have entrusted my eventual corpse to Jesus' disposition, because the children I love, (and put my heart into doing everything for and homeschooled) don't care anything for me. Their father modeled ostracizing me to them.

Why does Fr.Mike wear two watches?

@katerinafarlikova3807 Год назад

and I searched for bordelines' issues and they are actually better people than me. It's all about love for them. 'The one and only' love, the best love, the best person, the 'one and only' relationship, smth like this. When they are toxic, they want to dominate and feed on other people's stress. but it is also a relationship. I'm too analytical and focused on my rape/bullying drama, I only talk and talk, and write and write only about that, and want to write things and what my trauma to be known, but this is not about a relationship in my case at all. I don't know what to do with redundant relationships or romantic people around me and in case I'm smth like in love I switch on my self-irony every time. I don't think bordeline people can use a self irony weapon :)
