Father Mike Schmitz Keynote at The Catholic Education Foundation of Louisville Salute to Alumni.

His mother.." remember who the real star is"... love this!

[@marioalioto2331]

We need more priests like Father Mike Schmitz. If we had more like him, there would be many more followers

[@kristinwannemuehler9757]

Not to deflate him, but if we had more parents truly living a Catholic life in its entirety, I can only imagine what the Church Militant could be.

[@colvinator1611]

@kristinwannemuehler9757 I fully understand that catholic folk are lost. They don't have the indwelling Holy Ghost. Nor do they read the true scriptures ( King James Bible ). Hebrews chapters 7-10 ( KJV ) clearly teach that temple worship and sacrifice along with the priesthood were abolished by the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary. The catholic cult is pagan worship, as is the c of e and the other non biblical denominations. Read how the Lord Jesus Christ totally destroys the evil vatican institution ( along with all its followers ) in Revelation 17 & 18 KJV.

[@lisaferrin]

I agree with you! So dynamic!

[@Spinachtiger]

Thank you for all you do. You're in my prayers. Discipleship is sooooo important! Yes, let them/us become saints. You're so right.

[@lucykern4950]

Thank you Fr, Schmitz🙏

[@katenitzken4876]

Father, thank you for calling our Catholic School supporters to follow Christ by “making of all disciples.” Your message resounds among teachers and those of us who work to pass along the Catholic faith. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@gloriabitwayiki8538]

Amen amen from a french mom. Merci Père Mike. Vous êtes une bénédiction pour ma vie. I finished Yesterday the Bible in Year. I used the transletor to share explanations from companion volumes to m'y french Friends and family. It has been a blessing. We are waiting the end of lent to celebrate this achievement. Very powefull speech. I put my two little young sons in a catholic school here in France near Geneva. May God bless you and guide you. Thank you

[@kelkabot]

It’s driving me a little nuts to hear the cutlery on the plates. I would find it difficult to make a presentation under those circumstances. But Fr. Mike persevered. Thanks to him and to all involved for this talk!

[@sharonpinto6862]

God reward you father every effort return much blessed in many more children of God

[@Sheilamarie2]

God Bless You, Father Mike, "so good"!.

[@noradsouza3673]

Brilliant talk about the current situation. 🙏🏻 from🇨🇦

[@OgeneAdoh]

Beautiful ....we have to be disciples and make young people disciples and saints

[@carolhensen8005]

So full of wisdom, brilliant talk, love your ministry Father Mike…

[@bernardevillaw3410]

330,000 little boys in France were raped by 3,000 catholic pedophile priests, and it barely made the news, because people EXPECT that from catholics. That's why they want more children. Jesus said child rape was UNFORGIVABLE (Matt 18:6-14), and everyone who supported it will get eternal damnation. That means every single catholic.

[@margaretferrara1008]

So perfect so true what wisdom and blessings.. good parental guidance Fr. Mike, RIP for Goodie.

[@elizabethhunter4525]

Loved that, straight from the heart, so much wisdom here, thanks.

[@jeromemalonzo]

God bless you Fr. Mike!

[@sarahburry3887]

You are my disciple and my inspiration. Life changing.

[@jzlotopolski]

Beginning in the sixties, most Catholic schools stopped teaching the true faith. Sadly, now you're seeing the fruits of this reality.

[@rosalindahally6386]

Go make disciples!

[@AkakanwnwjuwwnJawnjwjwjwjwnwjw]

Amen

[@Jono93421]

I'm here to worship you my lord Mike my father and my saviour 🙏

[@ameliaolson7580]

In the NT Christ is a zamboni to us, a zamboni sibling to be more exact. He paves the way and lights the path. When you're walking with Him, listening to Him He directs your peds. He's always guiding us, trying to get us to hear Him, telling us not to go to a certain place, not to engage in a certain activity, or, conversely, to do a particular good in the world, or to even just to turn left instead of right when we're taking a drive. You're right, parents and educators do need to help us to be resilient, to learn how to think critically, to problem solve, and how to be disciples. But, too, we need to recognize that we can only do it correctly, in a healthy mindset, when we learn the difference between the OT Yahweh and the NT Christ. They are two totally different approaches to life and love. You are a star, Michael Schmitz. Not one of the demon ones--as listed in mythology and/or as recorded within the extraneous documents that explain a number of characters in the Bible--but, a shiny one, of merit, heart, and universal goodness. I'm not saying your mom was wrong, but she was wrong. You are not a flection of light like Satan (Yah, a moon deity), you are a light like Christ. You are made of light- a star from His star, a light of His light. Let your little light shine. "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..."

[@gloriavesper6754]

Father, I try but can not see slow what understanding.😢

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

[@marygilligan8459]

Catholic school not advanced enough for my daughter. However, school not expensive. Good deal for most families.

[@01happykat]

Fr. Mike illustrates why we need school choice and for tax dollars to follow the students, not to automatically go to the public schools, many of which are failing.

[@johnpglackin345]

The government should not be providing schools or funding them. It's best to homeschool.

[@angelablackburn3756]

Hmm... “helicopter” parents. Have you ever heard of mislabeling? Of course there are “helicopter” parents; but I have found it to be a term used against parents who are actually parenting. Sorry, Father, but your explanation of what schools often label parents missed the mark for me. It is largely used by educators and administrators to shame the student (that their parent would “get involved”) AND the parent to get them to concede their God given responsibility in their child’s education. We’d better be “giving our kids Jesus” and making them saints in our Catholic schools because the academics are hard aligning to the oh-so-common standards. #RepealESSA

[@TboneWTF]

Hi Father Mike- I was wondering what the Church has done to protect children from being harmed by priests? As you probably know hundreds of priests have been convicted of child abuse just in the Los Angeles area between 1990-2020. Can you address why the Pope has allowed these assaults to continue? I look forward to your response.

[@johnpglackin345]

First we need to acknowledge who is abusing the kids. Mostly boys. These people infiltrated the priesthood. You have to accept this truth. Otherwise nothing can be done.

[@saintjosephterrorofdemonsp6132]

Nothing succeeds like failure! "Memorare" prayed for the doom of heresies especially Moral Therapeutic Deism! What say you if you are in Southern California? Is Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego especially with Red Hat RWM as diocesan Bishop making disciples and saints for Jesus Christ, True God and True Man? San Pedro de Damian, ora pro nobis! Saint Rita, pray for us! 5/24/23 Wednesday!

Timothy 4:3 Giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2.. 3. Forbidding to marry, Mathew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

[@Youtuber-ly6tx]

You are Peter and on this Rock I will build my Church. The laity are not the clergy. The apostles are different from the disciples. Calling a priest a spiritual father is not what's being brought into question in that scripture passage.

[@bobjohnson2141]

@@KZbinr-ly6tx You would have made a fine Pharisee. Is the Jesuit order part of the Catholic church?

[@lois2997]

Just shut up, stop whining on catholic pages. Father Mike now cry harder

[@lois2997]

Wah wah mommy

[@colvinator1611]

Another lost playboy. By the way, no one can ' make ' a disciple. The true scriptures say ' teach all nations ' ( Matthew 29 : 19 King James Bible ). A Spirit filled, obedient servant of the Lord Jesus Christ is a disciple.

[@kelkabot]

Another lost playboy? How so?

[@JamesRichardWiley]

Each religion is true and all the other religions are false or simply misguided.

Thank you Fr, Schmitz🙏
