My mom just died in June from cancer at the age of 60. I asked God why did you take her so soon but that is not for me to know, at least not yet. It feels so unfair but thankfully, it has made me draw closer to God because I know turning away would only make things worse.

But God is "Father". You look to your father to be protected and safe. What's wrong with expecting those things??

[TheAyurvedic]

Sorry, but I find this explanation convenient. Right, God never promised we wouldn’t experience grief but he did say, Ask in my name and you shall receive it. People suffering are asking in his name and not receiving. It seems a cruel game to conveniently say “Ah, but not this.”

Let us pray for all suffering and who died in the warehouse explosion in Beirut, Lebanon

Listening to this from Lebanon. It's a difficult time to have hope Father. Our governors are corrupt and change seems impossible

I remember when I lost my wife to cancer. I was in a small 10 seater Chapel feeling really sad and alone with a great weight. A fellow parishioner who knew of my loss was leaving and took the time to stop and put their hand on my shoulder. No words were exchanged. It was a hand of compassion, love and a hand that told me they knew of my suffering. My suffering wasn’t taken away, but my sorrow was lessened for a moment and I didn’t feel alone in my suffering.

I was just praying about this last night. Thank you Father Mike and Ascension for being apart of God's providence in my life.

In 2016, my family's home caught on fire 3 days before Christmas. I was across the globe from my family when this happened. My family wasn't able to join me in the Philippines for our Christmas family vacation. This was my first Christmas and New Years without my family.

We are very active in our church and I've served with the Youth Ministry for 5+ years at the time. My younger siblings kept asking me why God would let that happen to our family, but man, the support and love that we were given from our relatives, friends, Church, and community was incredibly overwhelming.

All we lost were material items but God reminded us how loved we are through his people. 4 years later, our house has been rebuilt and we live our lives extra grateful everyday.🙏🏻

Friends in Christ, our Heavenly Father is faithful! Trust in His timing and plan. God bless! I'm praying for you all!❤

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
💙🙏🏻💙

My heart was heavy and there you were in my notifications, Christ's love seeking me out in my darkness.

[palace_pro]

John 15:18 If the world hates you know that it hated me before it hated you the very words of jesus

[lohanthony]

Thank you for the amazing message Father Mike! ““Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. 🙏🏽 TRUST HIM, HE IS WITH YOU WITH HIS GOODNESS ❤️

I'm suffering tremendous grief at the recent loss of my wife. Thank you Fr Mike. You really helped me.

[LuthorKilljoy]

I'm sorry I disagree, so many women are hurt by men in so many ways and most don't come out of it saying they could turn that into a positive, I knew a girl who's boyfriend drove her to commit suicide, there's no possitive about that.

Believers are supposed to HELP other Believers. Those who do not, IS WRITTEN HE WILL SAY " I NEVER KNEW. YOU "

Everytime I watch your vids I'm always reminded of bishop sheen, I'm glad you exist

[gabriellehaddad]

It's like all your videos are always in time and on point. Thank you Father. I am Lebanese and what the people here are going through is extremely hard. I pray that the hope you are talking about reaches our hearts and I ask everyone reading to please pray for this country and it's broken people💜😔
