[@meinardac4011]

I been following him for awhile he is one of the best of the bests

[@karcar818]

Fr Mike you are the priest this generation needed so desperately! I pray God continues to bless you with the gift of educating and evangelizing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Bobdrum2]

Amen

[@Alexander-fr1kk]

Amen

[@Photo513Graphy]

Every priest is needed... not just the ones you like.

[@fabiolacastaneda-razo8605]

Fr. Mike is to our generation, what Bishop Fulton Sheen was to the previous one. Praise God🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@igeshigikwe128]

Bless Fr. Mike and may all priests be elevated to do Gods will with protection and wisdom and love ❤

[@FSR431]

"We can't have Eucharistic revival without repentance." There is a whole generation of Catholics who need to hear and understand that statement.

[@ajbahus]

Most powerful line.

[@rosegiannini2665]

to be internalized

[@juanafelipe1557]

Including me.

[@thienpool]

and a few generations of alll Christians as a whole who needs to hear and understand it too.

[@Sandy-to1vg]

As a non-Catholic believer, God is using Fr. Mike to refresh and reset my whole Christian experience right now as I watch and listen to him. TY for being a priest after God's own heart.

[@rigelmanigque8968]

😊p

[@brainsilt]

Same! Has put the Catholic faith and Christianity in a whole new light for me.

[@joyconnery7481]

God is using him to stir revival in the hearts of thousands...perhaps millions. He is truly a man of God filled with the Holy Spirit.

[@lorrainecox7728]

God has led me to Fr. Mike.....and ultimately, a deeper relationship with Him. I'm eternally grateful for Fr. Mike's YES to the priesthood.

[@artm5583]

So happy to hear this!

[@francismorais4341]

"...KNOWLEDGE can make someone great; but only LOVE can make a saint!" Thank you Fr Mike! Keep inspiring! Love from New Zealand

[@Love_Divine]

Fr Mike is responsible for me finally reading my whole Bible (in Year) and then, the Catechism (in a Year) at age 55 & 56. I will forever be grateful. “Jesus, I trust in You, and I love You. Amen.”

[@MLuzu-gardens]

Amen and Amen ❤❤❤🙌🕊

[@CatherineStock-f6f]

I was at the National Eucharistic Congress but missed the evening program because after dinner, I went to my room. I decided to shut my eyes for a few minutes and woke up at 10:00! Therefore I am grateful that I am watching this now. Fr. Mike is on of 3 people who helped change me from a cafeteria Catholic to a fervent Catholic. The others are Matthew Kelly and Bishop Baron . God opened my heart!

[@carmengonzalez1745]

OMG, me too! All three of them played a significant part for me becoming a devout Catholic.

[@MLuzu-gardens]

Hallelujah!! The Love of Jesus touched my heart and restored it through healing it with Love. Thank you Lord for Your Love, presence, guidance, protection and all Your blessings in my life and in the lives of my loved ones. Lord Jesus I Trust in You and I Love You. Come Holy Spirit into my heart and soul, thank You God Almighty for Your Love. ❤❤❤🙌🕊 Amen

[@maryannelinsell3506]

Yes! Those three are my mentors who bought me back to Catholicism ten years ago!

[@Christiaan-w8p]

Dear Lord, we need this in Europe... The fire of the eucharist has so gone out in my country Belgium... Please pray for us...

[@diamondlou1]

😢

[@MarilynBoussaid-yd1vk]

I will pray for the Church in Belgium. I’m so sorry to hear this, I can feel the sadness in your words. Just be reassured that the Lord is awake and active in His Church. I am a Jewish convert. I was converted by a dream in 1990. It was instant and dramatic, like St. Paul’s experience on the Road to Damascus. I was amazed to discover that Jesus is real, He is alive, and He has all the power and all the love. The Lord led me to the Catholic Church. I was received into the Church in 1991, the greatest blessing of my life. I thank God every day for my Catholic Faith. I believe that, if the Lord could convert me, He could convert anyone. I was very hardheaded and not interested in “organized religion.” It’s truly a miracle I’m Catholic, and fervent about my Faith as well. I attend Daily Mass, make Holy Hours, and pray a lot. I know the Lord is listening. If you can, spend some time with Him, in church, praying for a revival in Belgium, and I will be joining with you in prayer from California, for the same intention. Padre Pio always said, “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.”

[@KasieMusic]

Same here in Germany

[@richardcourtney4515]

I was so moved and convicted by Fr. Mike’s talk last night. I know he touched many many hearts in that stadium and everybody who was watching. Might have been his most important speech, but God was speaking through him last night about the need for repentance and for us to lead with love. Thank you, father Mike for your ministry. Every morning when I pray the rosary, I pray for you.

[@lorenzitoleobrera3646]

Was it Fr. Mike who said to someone with same sex attraction that he & the other fellow have something in common that they are both called to celibacy

[@maryalmeida5424]

You don't need the rosary. Just pray to God thru His beloved Son Jesus the Christ. ✝️♥️

[@richardcourtney4515]

Mother Mary is our Great Intercessor to Jesus and leads us to His Sacred Heart ❤❤😇✝️

[@susheelasumelingam5740]

​@@richardcourtney4515this is blasphemy . Where in the Holy Bible instructs us to worship the mother of Mary. She is human. Only worship God. No need for priests or Mary.

[@peterson7813]

@@susheelasumelingam5740 this is silly. If you knew the Bible it would be clear: No authority in the Catholic Church supports the idolatry of Mary. She is our intercesor, the Queen of Heaven, our Mother. The Rosary is our weapon, our tool in this spiritual battle.

[@alwaysathome]

Thank you for preaching repentance Fr. Mike. We all need it and there are few who are brave enough to preach it. You are a warrior for Christ and we appreciate you!

[@MonaHilton319]

Goosebumps...Fr. Mike is a chosen one. All his talks have touched me and impacted my relationship with God. Thank you so much.

[@kristenchapdelaine6738]

My prayer for Father Mike is for him to remain holy. Beautiful speech. I loved the emphases on the Mass as the representation of calvary and of the path to love (willing the good of the other as other) as repentance. May our Lord and God bless our understanding of Father Mike’s teaching.

[@laurenengels4849]

I was there tonight and saw him in person. he is such an amazing speaker and role model❤

[@dirtkongor]

What a blessing it is to be able to be at the Congress. Please pray for me and my family as well 🙏🙏😊

That is an amazing blessing 😊

20 minutes into listening and tears of love and joy streaming down my face.....Thank you , Jesus .....for speaking through Father Mike . His genuine love, passion, and deep knowledge is an enormous blessing to those who will listen. AMEN!!

Who doesn't ❤ Fr. Mike!!! He is simply amazing ✨🙏🕊️👑🌹✝️✨

[@lydiagautreau5444]

I was there! The whole Congress was indescribable.

[@GiselaDiaz]

I'm crying... I want my children to be saved and they don't want to know anything about God... Their hearts are hard, how I wish they could understand all this. God have mercy on my family

[@rancherorelaxo5217]

Pray and ask for St Monica to pray for you and your kids. She prayed for 15 years relentlessly until finally one day her son Augustine converted. Now he is a great saint in heaven with her. I'll pray for you and you Pray for me too. My daughter just told me she doesn't believe in God either.

[@chimdaluigbonekwu4375]

My heart goes out to both of you with this pain. It is a real one, a real pain. It means a lot that you are concerned about this, that you want a change. The Lord is never ignorant of efforts; He will not overlook yours either

[@amandaOlb]

I've just watched the Pint with Aquinas episode with Gabi Castillo about the rosary and I think it would be very useful to you. the power of prayer on the salvation of our families is so beautiful! God bless you ❤

Fr. Mike is truly a man who teaches the word of God in today’s world. I listen to him daily through Ascension. He is a blessing to our faith.

[@Amio_Michele]

Father Mike is a true gift from God! God bless him always 🙏🏻

[@theresagloriapalma]

Fr. Mike. Keeps it simple, easy and loving for a person to learn. His breakdown of the Word, removes all the false thinking others claim is “religion”. it’s broken down in language this generation understands.

[@carmgirl-dm3ms]

Thank you, Father Mike. I will keep fighting to find those fire extinguishers to remodel my faith, so I can wholeheartedly surrender to God.

[@katenitzken4876]

Father Mike, what a blessing to hear your message and challenge. May the Lord help us all to humble ourselves before Him. Thank you!

[@mariemorrison6278]

Knowledge can make one great, but only love can make you a saint. Lord, may we love you in your Presence, not just know that you are present.

[@moirapetroni8131]

I finally got to read the Bible in a year, thanks to Fr Mike. God has a plan for you and you are conveying God’s Word to us, so we can all understand His message. Thank you so much! 🙏❤️🙏

[@AlexanderGaebel]

I am blessed to have both Bishop Barron and Fr. Mike both in my state of Minnesota. I can't wait to meet them because both have been instrumental in the growing of my understanding and Faith!

[@JenniNJeff]

"Knowledge can make us great, but only love can make us saints." Fantastic! Absolutely! Help me love you more, Jesus, and to love my neighbor as you do

[@moirapetroni8131]

Thank you Fr Mike for caring so much for us sinners to bring light of God’s love for us. God bless you ❤

[@legendman97]

In 10 seconds he explained why we ought to be reverent at mass and to the Eucharist. Reverent in every way.

[@NotchYour_AverageWood]

Fr. Mike is a true example of a saintly priest who wholeheartedly is in love with Christ. You can see this in his expression when he speaks about the gospel. Fr. Mike, you are loved and we pray for you always.

Most Christians already know Jesus crucifixion was on a tree trunk/post with His hands above His head, not on a cross. The publishers who put the word cross in the Bible were from Catholicism. The Bible strictly forbids idolatry. Exodus 20:4 and Galatians 3:13, 1Peter 2:24

[@heathervancalcar4446]

Fr. Mike's speech long ago about the True presence in the Eucharist was one of the flames that started my journey from lazy Catholic, to where I am now. I was of the generations that went through Catholic School and was not told about the true presence. That knowledge was one of the pillars that woke me up.. Thank God! I am glad now to know that my Nieces and Nephews are now learning it from early on.. Good! Leaving it out was a grave error. And just listening once again to Fr. Mike on the Eucharist and I've learned even more! God be Praised!

[@jcattnc]

Thank you for this word Father Mike. I am on this road and realize I need repentance. This has been so helpful and hopeful. God bless.

[@kiwiseniora]

I am never so awake just listening to Fr. Mike. He is indeed the one who clarifies how and why Jesus sacrifice himself, because of His love for us, and we all knew it, but continue not to acknowledge because of the hardness of our heart that continue to embrace the earthly pleasure ignoring that the pleasure we are promised is glaring everytime we go to mass. And that is the eucharist that continue to remind us until we all get it right. God bless you, Fr. Mike for reminding us tonight.

[@humilityisimportant]

❤ I'm so happy to have found the full speech! We replayed the short yesterday and it led to a powerful reflection on the importance of the consecration durng the Mass. Sometimes the community lets out an unenergetic "Amen" and it is such a sacred moment. Being there at the moment He offers His life for us... the moment the bread becomes a part of His heart for us to consume. ❤ Great job on this talk Father! God bless you and always lead you.
