"His Moments" | 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Fr. Mike's Homily)

The moments are holy when the moments are His...and the moments are His when the motive is Him.
When something is dedicated, it is transformed. It is elevated and becomes something more. When a moment is dedicated to God, it becomes a holy moment.

Father! Your homilies are "providence" to my soul! Thank you God for Father Mike!

[@philsolis1113]

Thank you Fr. Mike. Through your messages and KZbin videos, you have helped me decide to turn my life around and repent. What I do now, I do for the glory of God.

Amen 🙏🙏✝️

[@emedrcsarlconsulting3289]

Amen my father. This is my first time to watch and listen your homily, i fell blessed and touched really. Am from DR. Congo, definitively i will do my best to follow you everyday.

[@IONov990]

I wonder how many people want to be a saint to feel important, recognized or accomplished

[@theloverofwisdom66]

The prayer given to us by the Church sums up what you are saying in these simple words, "O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this present day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for all our associates, in union of Christendom, and in particular for the intentions of the Pope this month. Amen." I taught sixth grade students that by saying this prayer each morning you became a Superman or Superwoman because now every act, except a sinful one, is now done with the grace of God and is beyond or above a natural act.

[@SilviaRodriguez-ln4ob]

I pray for you, I am thankful, and I hope you will continue to guide us all in the Lord’s way and eventually to heaven. You are a gift from God, keep up the great work!

[@zygmuntziokowski7877]

Father Mike, your homily completes my Sunday. I go to Mass in Eastern North Carolina and look forward to listening to your homily on the drive home.

[@kerrieholian5366]

What? Are we neighbors? 🤣 I do the same as I'm in the Cape Fear Deanery 😔.

[@dmcPerks7787]

Father Mike, thank you for teaching us so much. Your homilies are beautiful and I needed to hear this. I needed a reminder that I don’t only get to ask God for help but also to do everything I can even if it’s the smallest things I can, to dedicate them to God for his glory. Thank you Father 🙏

[@catmom11]

I really needed to hear this today. Thank you Father Mike 🙏🏻

[@JKimmi_]

Thank you, God for the gift of Fr Mike. Here's my favorite part "This moment is Holy when this moment is His. Ane this moment is His when the motive is Him"

[@annemason9748]

Once again, thanks, Fr. Mike, for breaking this topic down into easy to understand examples. Until next week, God bless. I'm praying for you, please pray for me.

[@LisaGemini]

Ask, offer and accept is great advice for glorifying God and adding more holy moments to our lives. Father Mike, you are helping me so much on my spiritual journey and I love you 💕 God bless you, the Front Pew Crew and all those listening to this powerful homily. Still learning a lot from Ascension’s Catechism in a Year, too. Please pray for me to heal from long-term side effects from cancer radiation I had 30+ years ago. 🙏🏻 Thanks and praise be to our Lord and Savior! ❤

[@caroldye5537]

Such simple ways to glorify God! Love these Holy Moments.

Amazing Homily. My husband and I both loved it. Love the Ask, Offer, Accept. Everything you said touched us so very much. Your words always touch us and make me cry. Love you Father. God bless you for all that you do to guide and teach us. You are in our prayers always! 🙏🏼❤️🤗

[@1Cor1614]

God, may you bless our loved ones. We offer ourselves and those near and dear to our hearts. For we know you are able to love us and care for us far better than we can ever imagine. For their sake and for our own. We are all in need of your loving grace. Amen 🙏

[@janefosha7847]

Thank you! So often life is "a series of unfortunate events". "Ask, offer accept" is such a helpful way to remember how to deal with these difficult moments. Thank you!

[@monikacoates7661]

Every moment is His will for you! How beautiful! God Bless!

[@ramondiaz2494]

I begin my day with las Mananitas Tapatias and end it with Adios Reina del Cielo. I sing these with my morning and evening meals, after saying Grace.

[@jenniferbreen747]

Thank you for sharing all of the tidbits about the book dedications, Fr Mike. How interesting and (as always) the perfect setup for your homily.

[@andrecayer4489]

God is in the moment; humans experience time, but like God and light, once we pass we will no longer experience time, and it all be a Moment in His Presence.

[@KolokaiKalai]

A HOLY MOMENT is simply DEDICATED to the LORD..that THE LORD be GLORIFIED..Thankyou so much Fr.Mike for the powerful inspiring homily...Blessings and prayers 🙏

[@ednaromero4965]

[@margaretschachte489]

Good to know Fr Mike is a fan of Lemony Snicket! Good taste.

[@meihui7767]

Fr. Mike must be a speed reader. He mentioned so many books!

[@PEFitness]

[@suzynolanart]

A few months ago I received a book in the mail titled Holy Moments. I don't know who sent it or why I received it. This little book has sat beside my bed for some time, but only recently did I crack it open as begin to read a little before bed. And now you just used that phrase several times.

[@StevenEarp-xr9rp]

My body got used up transforming them back just being flirty so be lost everything so be still have family

[@KnightBat282]

Father Mike, I had a question and I hope you can answer it. Do us as Catholics need to follow lent? Im questioning my faith because it is never stated in the Bible that we must follow it so what is the point? Not trying to be disrespectful at all just genuinely curious.

[@Capturethelightraw]

I need your advice I need your a get back to me

[@Capturethelightraw]

I need to talk to you

[@user-nu2ti4jz4x]

Would you take your time to help me out? I would appreciate your help

[@user-rj8py9ld3j]

Why is Jesus called God's only begotten? Jesus is the only creature that God created with his own hands (Colossians 1:15, 1:18). Jesus is the only one who the Father has given life to give to us (John 5:26). This means Jesus is the first in existence, rank, etc, and was *given all power* over all flesh in heaven and on earth (John 17:2). In Matthew 11:27, Jesus said all things are delivered unto me from my Father, meaning God's power and spirit, words, healing, etc. In John 8:28, Jesus clearly says “he does nothing of himself, but only what the Father has taught him, he speaks these things,” including John 1:1-3. When Jesus said he does *NOTHING* of himself, he means exactly this-no more, no less. ALL THINGS came from God's foreknowledge, and Jesus was first, believe it or not. With the power and spirit given to him by God, his Father (John 20:17), Jesus made all things in heaven and earth. Jesus is above all, except God-his Father; for Jesus said “my Father is greater than I” (John 14:28, 1 Corinthians 8:6).
