1) Relationship with God (real rights/access and real responsibilities)
2) Be there exteriorly and interiorly (ie truly present)
3) Consistency (faithful and steadfast)
4) Keeps commitments to God and other people

Hay guy's for the past few months I've been asking people to pray to keep abortion out of Ireland. Unfortunately the good guys lost this one. I just wanted to thank you for your responses and for taking part in this prayer campaign. As catholics we must continue to place our trust in or Lord and Our Lady and they grand us victory. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND STAY IN THE FIGHT 😆❤🕇

"Consistency beats intensity every time." I love that! And it's so true for all kinds of things in life—such as learning a new language.

God bless you, Father Mike, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

[oliviarapavi]

Fr Mike you're the best. It's so cool to think that there are so many people watching this as I'm watching it, and so many people who will watch it, and we will all be touched by something different... Through one message, God will speak to each of us in the way that applies to us. Thank you for your wisdom 😊❤

[Goodnews]

love you Jesus christ for ever....thank you Father Mike and all our catholic family all over the world

[sebastian_]

“I promised I’d rob that bank.”
“No, don’t do the thing.”

Tonight Im gonna get on my knees and praise Jesus

[sienaking]

If ur here in 2021, go listen to this guys podcast. It’s called the Bible In A Year and it has had a big impact on my faithfulness. 🙏

[raquelmansueto]

Fr Mike...so full of energy and joyfulness, yet so practical and to the point. Thank you. What struck me most is CONSISTENCY BEATS INTENSITY. I try to commit myself to daily Mass and prayer even when I am loaded with work and out of apetite because as we need frequent snacks of food to keep alive we need frequent substenance from the Word of God. Also walking with other fellows who are trying to be faithful to the Lord is highly essential. In my daily prayers Father.

[hopemosher]

I love you Fr. Mike you're a great blessing.

[linda.pvangapandu]

Thank you father Mike Schmitz for all that you do! May God bless you and your family!

After watching his videos for so long I'm so excited I'll be going to Steubenville this year in Georgia and hear Fr. Mike talk, he always has wise words, and I have so much to learn.

[thereview]

Thank you for making these videos. It is actually ironic, because I had a argument with a atheist today, they wanted to tell me how christianity is not logical, and I told them how christianity is absolutely logical, for we have artifacts, books written dating back from the moment of occurence, and much more. To make this short. I wanted to see how to be a better christian after this argument, since I have been away from jesus for some time. I had many issues with myself for years now, nothing bad, but just did not feel right. then I found this channel, and your words in this video, explained everything, and perfectly clear as I never had before, which had me understand why I found this channel. You truly are Gods disciple, and I simply had to say thank you for all your efforts, sometimes we all question if our efforts ever reach our goals, so I wanted to tell you that today you have, through you, god has reached me. What I learned just now is, I should embody myself in a better mental focus, live by setting the example, and the most important part is to be consistent. all three things are exactly what I have been having issues with, especially being consistent, and just by doing those three things, I understand that my problems are solved. So I want to say thank you for helping me, and I will certainly come back to learn more. God Bless you

[craigrichter]

Gives all listeners clarity that calls them to be a real disciple! Helps them and me find the next step!

[theresemartin]

Fr. Mike, your homilies must be amazing!! So thankful to you for your videos here. The topics most of the time are timely and help me!

[yfa]

Amen. The current climate prevalent is a focus on friendship and diminishing of Awe Reverence Acknowledging the Compassionate Authority of God. But when we do, we desire with joy to observe the Precepts of God with a cheerful giving disciplined life. Yes? We help one another grow in this type of consistency, instead of thinking following is a chore. Yes, sometime it's not easy, but doesn't, the more we desire the steps of discipleship give a certain interior joy that wasn't as present, before?

This priest is the coolest priest I have ever seen. He speaks to us on our level and takes the pressure out of being a Christian with down-to-earth advice.
