Running Into Obstacles | Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Fr. Mike's Homily) #sundayhomily

We may want to run, but things get in the way.

God provides the grace that we need to be able to grow as fully and freely as possible. But life is full of obstacles that make this growth a challenge. With God's grace, we can be prepared for these battles.

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

A great sermon about facing and engaging in battle

I got out of my own way today and went to confession after 20 years. What I had to confess was huge, so I was crying the whole way thru. The priest was so kind "you said it's been 29 years for you- it's my 20 year anniversary as a priest. This was meant to be." There is still more to confess. I'm taking your advice, Father Mike, and keeping a list of confessions so I dont repeat myself and dont forget anything. Don't be afraid of tough. You can do this. If I can, anyone can

Courage to seek the truth and to speak it… sorely missing in our country (Canada). This is what I have learned in the last three years. This does not bode well for our country. We don’t look to God for direction, all too often we look to our government. WRONG place. Please pray for us. Too many of us are sheep without our shepherd.

Peace be. 13:36 I have been viewing & commenting on videos of a psychologist helping himself & others live on believing in Jesus Christ after narcissistic encounter. It is a parableum. Mother Mary pray for us.

Fire homily! “The Gulag Archipelago” should be required reading in all high schools in the US.

Oh, prepare for battle alright! The closer I become and became to Christ the more the devil has wreaked havoc in my life with my family members. Not today Satan, not ever … peace Fr. Mike …

I felt this homily was God speaking to me Himself. So moving. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of Fr. Mike Schmitz. Help us not to be sceptic, help us to not be the seeds on rocky ground or in thorns. Help us to be the seeds in good soil
