'You Must Fight for Heaven' (Fr. Mike's Homily) #shorts

Excerpt from Fr. Mike's Homily for the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Sometimes God gives the victory and sometimes God gives what we need to finish the race. Every one of us is in the middle of the race of our lives. God has called us and brought us here, even when there is no victory in sight and even when victory is not possible. But God will always give whatever we need to finish the race.

Finally, we also ask you to continue supporting your local parishes. Thank you and God bless you!

[StarlordVR]

Father I will strive to push my limits, let it be physical or spiritual, I WILL do it for God, and I WILL not fear anything that will stand before me until I reach God, for that is what I fear, and nothing else. I will do this for God. Thank you father ❤

I need prayers to develop a relationship with Jesus that is better than it should be nowadays.

Father Mike delivers the straight goods of truth and love delivered with well-calibrated reason and passion, coupled with a personal challenge and oriented towards RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST - love it Father Mike! Many thanks!

I should fight this week to be more compassionate with more prudence and deliberate sensitivity for those around me who suffer from fear, frustration, desolation, etc.

May God bless you, Father Mike, to keep fighting the good fight, dear good and faithful servant of God, to keep providing us with good counsel and challenges to grow in virtues.

[monocyte]

Please pray for me that I have enough courage to keep on struggling

[Ralph_Malph]

Continue preaching Fr Mike.... I am listening. 🙏

[robertemmonds]

Amazing! Our pastor recently talked about how we must "labor" in our lives. And that we must "LISTEN" as much as we pray TO God. A relationship is a two way street!

[roseangela]

I do my very best to daily pray the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy. JMJ.

Ephesians 2:9 Not of works lest any man should boast.

We are saved by grace and grace alone.

[ajessm]

Pray, pray, pray and the sacraments.
Trust in Him and not in yourself. Pray for the grace to do our Heavenly Father's will. Pray for the grace to keep Jesus' commandments. Pray for the grace to love your neighbour as yourself.

[nehyeshua]

Fight is all within, the choices you make, the path you take, the righteous path. Call upon him when in trouble. May our inner child thrive. We ought to have a heart of a child.
