Ready for the Battle? + Fr. Mike's Homily #shorts

Excerpt from Fr. Mike's Homily for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)

Parabellum: This Battle + Observe. Orient. Decide. Act.

When we are faced with the challenges and obstacles of following Christ, it is easy to become overwhelmed. But we do not have to solve all of the potential issues. We are simply called to face this problem and take the next step.

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

My prayers changed from asking for help. To “you have the plan just bless me with wisdom and patience to see it through.”

[marcusperry]

Amen. Excellent advice I just recently happened to be rekindling myself. Be emboldened and encouraged with the power of the Holy Ghost! ✝️🔥

[jinijinxer]

Father, you have no idea how much you've helped me. This was exactly my prayer, and would've been for the rest of my life, if it wasn't for you.

[timbiondo]

Thank you Father. I prayed a similar prayer 30 or so years ago, repeatedly, asking God what he wanted me (us) to do. He had just healed me of a malignant brain tumor and we wanted to know… okay, now we really know you’re there, so what’s next for us…
We didn’t hear any thing initially, so, instead of waiting any longer we started.
First this, then that, then we started fostering/adopting kids nobody wanted.
Today I’m Dad to 10. He answered our prayers in a beautiful way! Our God is God!

[BenTheJMen]

Thank you! Your videos have done so much for my faith and I can't thank you enough. May God bless you and everyone at Ascension Presents!

God help me to change the path of evil that is currently in my situation in your name I pray… our father

[ckeast]

Father Mike, I ask him that question every day. However, He doesn't give me an answer. I've come to the conclusion that I just need to continue doing what I am. I love the journey I am on. God Bless You, Father. Thank you for the great videos and all you do for our Catholic faith.

Holy Mary Mother of God and all God's saints pray for us!🙏♥♥☺

[David-wzzn]

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;As it was in the beggining, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen 🙏❤️❤️❤️☺️

[notoriousosc]

Wow, I needed this today. I’ve been dealing with horrible anxiety the past month and a half. I think a lot of it has to do with me wanting to have life figured out. I’m 25 and there’s a lot of pressure I put myself through because I haven’t found my calling in life. May God give me relief from being stuck in my mind. I want to focus on today. Not tomorrow anymore.

[David-wzzn]

May the Lord God give us strength and courage and may the Virgin Mary pray for us so that we take up and carry our cross every day!🙏🙏🙏♥☺

[David-wzzn]

Almighty God, be merciful to us and bless us!🙏♥♥☺ !🙏♥♥

[bernadettemchugh]

The one who is faithful in small things will be faithful in great things!

[Burberryharry]

God bless you father mike. I’m not catholic but I’ve been listening to you for 4 years now since I started college at a Protestant university.

[miketa]

Thank you for this! I’ve been asking the wrong question for 59 years…maybe now I’ll get more peace! 🙏

[vals.]

God, what would you have me to BE in this moment? From that place of being, I will know the next right action. Sometimes, it is wait. Do nothing.

[creativeinspirations]

This is great.
. I am going through that... for a few years now. Appreciating thus message Father.
