He is risen indeed! Thank you for your encouraging message Spirit filled with His Word. I am standing strong in faith dressed in His armour until His return.
Thank you Fr Mike. I am asking, seeking and knocking. What a lovely sermon. God Wins. Jesus is Risen. He has won victory over sin and death. Alleluia May God bless you and protect you and all priests. Amen 🙏
Thank you Jesus for taking away my sins, even when I fail, I know you love me still. Amen. He is not here, He has risen and He will come again. Hallelujah!.
It wasn't by coincidence I found your RU-vid channel. I've been feeling this calling for a deeper connection and God directed me to you. I am being fed by your words way more than my local priests. You are the answer to my prayer for more. What a servant you are. Please keep delivering your powerful homilies in the fashion you do. I've learned so much from you that I've shared with my local confessor. I remember your key phrases from homilies. And i share them with family & friends. God wins!!!
I totally agree, I was listening & still do to Father Mark Beard, he passed away 8/3/2023 what a inspirational Shepard of his flock 🐏🐑. Keeping him in my prayers 🙏
I needed to hear this homily how blessed are you feeding your sheep as a good shepherd 🐏🐑. Be not afraid & i will look in the mirror with thanksgiving & hope during anything on my journey knowing that Jesus is helpine carry my Cross Amen AMEN 🙏
As we were returning home from the Easter vigil mass who has not been allowed to attend church with us for three years, put her precious little six-year-old hand on her heart I told me that she heard something. "Just don't be afraid" I have started a Monica group it by Church where we are praying the return of our loved ones to the faith. I would be happy to help anyone start such a group of hope 😊
Fr. Mike, this is one of the best homily and talk. Alleluia ☀️Jesus Wins Every talk and homily you give us is truly a gift from God❣️🙏🏻✝️. You are truly an instrument of God 😇. Alleluia He Is Risen. Love Is Alive✝️🙏🏻 Alleluia
Easter Sunday of The Resurrection of The Lord: John 20:1-9: Then the other disciple also went in the one who had arrived at the tomb first and He saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the scripture that He had to Rise from the Dead. Celebrate the Glory of the Resurrection and share the Joyful News of the Risen Christ! Thank You Rev. Mike O'Connor: He Is Risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter!
Almost two years back to the church now, sometimes despair sneaks up and completely infiltrates my thoughts like rain when you don’t see a cloud. I need reminders of hope. my past was so dark but sometimes the light is too bright and I seem to want to cling to the dark. Thank you for the hope reminder.
I couldn’t help but saying “happy rising day” when addressing the Lord in prayer on Easter-day. We say happy birthday so happy rising day to Jesus makes sense.
He is Risen, Amen! I’m going through a meditation adjustment that’s causing nausea, anxiety and some poor sleep. Be not afraid, amen. Picking up my cross yes. I’m not “feeling “ a joyous Easter but am not giving up. Trying to be a light. Thank you.
We who are Catholics should not be the VICTIM of Satan but to be a VICTOR becos of our FAITH & HOPE in JESUS CHRIST. Our God will give us VICTORY over all evil.
Thank you, Fr. Mike. Your words reaffirm all I was given as a child in the faith .It has made my life rich for many years. Jesus Christ is Truth and has given me the greatest of Treasures. 84 yrs., and still praying! Positive, uplifting message. You are tucked in my prayers with all our priests at adoration . Blessings from Phx.
Happy Easter! He has risen! We are so blessed for his sacrifice which is the justification for our redemption. We don’t deserve it but have it by faith alone in Christ Jesus. May he be glorified in all we do. 🙏 👼 ❤️
Happy Paschal Season, Jennifer! Just one thing, with respect, as Catholics we don't believe in the pairing of certain words. For e.g., "faith alone" As Catholics, we don't believe in Sola fide. As Saint Paul said, "faith without works is dead." Sola fide is a protestant idea. I am sure you know that and you were just writing to get your intentions out, because your concluding sentence alludes to 'works.' Protestant ideas get into the mainstream and they get regurgitated, sometimes subconciously. No impropriety intended, at all. Always appreciate your comments and support of this inspirational site;) Also, I know that you've been suffering, lately. You have been in my prayers.
Since Almighty God created us, we have a purpose because nothing exists without His will. We just need always remember to believe we are children of Almighty God, and He sent Jesus Christ to save us and to see us through everything! It doesn’t get any better than knowing Jesus Christ is always beside us waiting for us to ask so that He can give us grace to get through anything! 🙏
Can I clone you Father Michael? Your words profoundly touch my heart. I come to you and a handful of Holy Priests on line, to receive nourishment for my soul. Thank you 🙏
Viewing on Saturday after Easter. I hope you had a good Easter and I wish you the best for Divine Mercy Weekend. From St Leonards on Sea in England [just in case you thought that all your viewers/listeners were in the US].
Father I'm not afraid..I'm mad ... they are taking our gender away from us.. what will the new generation of real females have to look forward to? I know it's all a sin... I've sinned. ..I repented.. I pray.
"Life is not worth living" is always a belief based on the person's experience with other people. So, avoid them. 99% of people are going to Hell, see The Fewness of the Saved by St. Leonard of Pt. Maurice. So, it isn't surprising that other people can drive you insane. Focus on the Trinity and the Saints and the angels.
There is but one Father There is but one man Eve knew she was a man Trans formed a woman from man. I accept what the father did, it's time the rest of you do the same.
