Even More Questions from the Internet about Priests

[@GMarino24]

You can tell Father Mike simply loves being a priest. What a blessing! Let’s pray for priests, seminarians, and new vocations!

[@Richie016]

we make ourselves adaptive with God's word & his presence,with the efforts and help of the priests. Thanks to priests.

Do Priests tell Dad jokes? Yes!!! Just watch Fr. Mike Schmitz.

Fr. Mike, you're so funny. I realized after watching this video, I need to stay awake and pray more for priests for God's protection and blessings to be upon them always. They have a tough fight to go through. We all do, but I imagine evil spirits will target priests even more than others.

I'm sorry but I never heard of that church before. Is it one of the non latin/roman rites in unification with rome and the pope?

[@AnselmoFormolo]

@@reginleifr7300 We are all one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. The Maronite church came out of Modern day Syria in the 5th century from disciples of Saint Maron, a desert monk and contemporary of John Crysostom. The Liturgy and Spirituality is very deeply connected to Christianity's Jewish roots and to Monastic wisdom and asceticism.

Can a priest get corrupted by hearing someone's conffesion??? How they protect themselves against temptations?

[@Richie016]

I suppose, it depends on various factors when Priests get to hear a number of confessions. Although God's service prepares them in advance to relieve confessors from sin. Jesus Christ our savior helps us more at times of need and distress,same is with them.😀😇

Hi Father Mike. Thank you for making all of these videos. They have been a major part of my conversion last year to Catholicism and continue to play a large role in my education. Speaking of education, I was hoping you could expand more on the educational process of becoming a deacon. Thank you for sharing!

[@stephenjohnson3163]

I love how well he's answering these questions like he's talking to a person who hasn't been in the faith or isn't in the faith for some time (probably because of the questions themselves that help with that) and how softly he tackles all these questions so as not to hurt the person or people who have asked them.

[@elisejanssen4308]

I've never been to confession, partly because I'm scared, partly because of my parents. My parents aren't as much into their faith as I am, and they think really different about certain subjects. Confession is one of them, my father says that it's not for him. I think I want to go, but I also have to find a priest that I trust and that comforts me. I'm just on a journey of faith and slowly step-by-step getting further into faith

[@fredmckibben6872]

You are a HOOT.....I'm 72 and was raised a Catholic, educated in Catholic schools and live my adult life as a Catholic. However, all the priest I have encountered have been stoic, reserved and, especially as a young person, unapproachable. Its so refreshing to find a priest that can make those around him feel so comfortable and approachable. Thank you

Hey can you do a video on what to do after confession and penance, like how to go about your life in a way that keeps you out of the confessional a bit longer how to pray what to change et cetera

[@anabarranco4231]

Confession is the sacrament of healing and holiness, is the way to fill us with grace to feel free to come back any time we need it without be an obligation!

[@fabriciapinheiro5999]

My tip is to stay as close to the sacraments as you can. Go to confession often (you can confess venial sins as well), go to mass during the week days as well if you can, also talk to God all the time, make Him your "buddy", remember He is always with you. At night, I like to think of some things I could've done better and ask God to help me actually do it better the next day. 😊

[@joelancon7231]

@@bestofburden yeah it is, the last thing you say in the act of Contrition is "I FIRMLY resolve with the help of thy grace to sin no more and avoid the near occasion of sin, yes we fall and that is quite the lofty goal but it is goal we should aim for(read Romans 6) and yes saints went often because they understood their sinfulness but that doesn't mean we should be ok or lukewarm with our sins, one Saint once said "better to die than to sin"

Thank you for these videos! They help understand a religion I was born into and but didn’t know. With Gods grace, I’m loving it more and more. Thank you again! A question I do have is... what prayer do you say before the priest blesses the holy Eucharist? I find myself lost and mumbling at that point every Sunday. Hahaha

[@WayfaringStranger33]

If you mean the prayer that the congregation says after the priest presents Jesus in the Eucharist and says, "Behold the Lamb of God, etc." then that prayer is "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. But only say the word, and my soul shall be healed." It's from the Centurion's Prayer in Luke 7:1-10
