Love this homily. Thank you Lord Jesus for this good priest. I pray I will be a sheep at God’s right hand on judgement day. That you will be too!

[@michelebeck4448]

Always love your homilies Fr. Mike!! Thank you!!!

[@davidpaulmichaelde]

This is another over-the-top homilies by Fr Mike!

[@eliwithgod4848]

These rants are mandatory. Keep up the good work and preach it father!

[@susanmcgovern3388]

So loving and truthful thank you Father !

[@HumilityisaVirtue]

Father Mike, this is one of your most powerful homilies. You did not rant. You told it like it is. I am very grateful for that. I was once very naive and gullible. Not now. I am as faithful and trusting of God as I've ever been, while setting aside false prophets. God Bless you Father and thank you!!!

[@maryjoabatt910]

He is a wonderful priest isn’t he! ❤️‍🔥🕊️🙏

[@shpeale]

Interesting. Discernment of spirits is my spiritual gift too. But I don't use it nearly as well or as much as I should.

[@marbomcg2674]

Powerful Homily. Thankyou.

Viva Christo Rey!

the "pod apostle" title text is so horribly misaligned

[@jimchandler6065]

Fr. Mike, rant on; these words have to be said, Jesus Christ is King of Glory.

[@ThePixilator]

Good reminder of our responsibility to warn others of the sins they may be committing, even when it's not comfortable or popular to do so.

[@pauladesmarais1586]

Thank you for your sermons. They are fresh and to the point! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you! 🙏❤️🙏

[@christiantvireland]

Fr Michael, The people of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church are Blessed to have a Priest like you..

Thank you Rev Fr.Mike for your beautiful homily. So many things to ponder upon in our spiritual life while being caught up in the rat race of the material & secular world. God bless you.

[@ellenmulcahy1575]

Thank you father for this wonderful homily, the church needs more priests to speak up against the evils of our society!

Thank-You Father. I didn't think you were "RANTING"!!!! We need MORE TO WARN US OF THE LIAR SATAN, AND THAT HE COULD EASILY LEAD US TO HELL, "WHERE THE WORM DIES NOT"!!!!

[@user-sy6ss1kx2c]

God bless you and protect you always. We need more courageous priests like you. ❤

[@johnbolwell5969]

God bless you Fr Michael, I just love listening to you! We need many more Holy priests like this man, prepared to be honest about sin for the sake of our souls. So many of the Church's shepherds are frightened to talk about the reality of hell.

[@DedeMahoney-j7y]

Thank you for speaking the truth of the gospel ; the whole truth & nothing but the truth is truly a breath of fresh air! ✝️

I am going to bookmark this homily, and set a monthly reminder to re-watch it!

[@JE-western-rider]

00:06:15 In the next couple of seconds, Fr. O'Connor tells us we must be born again. This is not a term that I ever heard as a Catholic growing up .... [ background: I left the Church in high school and renounced the faith however my family members are strict Catholics and I check in once in awhile. ] .... Would someone please explain what the Fr is referring to and is this backed by any scripture? If so, what is the scripture or scriptures. [ I'll use KJV, NKJV, NAS for specifics, and when I'm looking for the general theme and get an overall picture, I'll use the NIV and ESV ] Thanks for your effort.

[@faithwisdom788]

John chapter 3.

[@faithwisdom788]

Being born again happens by water and the Holy Spirit. It happens in baptism. this is what I've found online. Feel free to call a priest and ask to be sure.

[@vstefe1280]

My sister was told by Priest it’s not for everyone. But the Bible says it is. John 3. The Greek literally means ‘born from above’. There is a baptism of water but then there is a Baptism of the Holy Spirit. All the gifts and calling in Corinthians are given the to serve God. Jesus was Baptized in water and then the Holy Spirit came upon Him. He explained to Nicodemus we must be of the Holy Spirit. It’s wonderful. My whole life changed for good since it happened to me. Not religion but spiritual.

[@joecrow2847]

My God would never ....stop me from visiting a church of another religion especially when the Catholic churches around me are closing.

[@millielehigh9936]

Our Lord founded only one church and it is called the Catholic Church. The Eucharist is in the Catholic Church. Amen!

Wherever Mother Teresa went, whomever she encountered, she looked for the opportunity to give the light of God and to evoke love for God - regardless of a person’s belief, or even unbelief. She declared: “I love all religions, but I am in love with my own. If people become better Hindus, better Muslims, better Buddhists by our acts of love, then there is something else growing there.” And another occasion: “There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls - 30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs-all different religions. But they all come to our prayers.” “In Yemen, which is a Muslim country, I asked one of the rich people to build a Masjid (mosque) there. People needed a place to pray, I said to him. They are all Muslim brothers and sisters. They need a place where they can meet God.”@@eileenkelleher6660

[@vstefe1280]

Most all churches that preach Christ. Doesn’t have to be Catholic Denominations. There are so many that teach the Bible. Foursquare, Assembly of Gods. Jesus Christ is God. Don’t go to another religion.

[@leanorjohansen5842]

❤Thanks for the truth Fr O'Connor! Please pray for my family to see their TRUE SINS because many are blinded by modernism; women refusing to serve their husbands and children and clean their homes even when they are retired or do not work. Refusing to see their state in life as homemaker to her husband. When she could be. This is a sin. Because it goes against charity and her state in life as wife and mother. Especially when her husband works exceedingly hard outside of the home. Please pray for our family and both genders to know and understand God's purpose & role in life in obedience to God by serving Him in service to their homes, spouse and family.

[@vstefe1280]

Why are you blaming the woman? Men are just at fault for ignoring their role, abuse, ignoring, treating wife as slave. Sickening. Read Proverbs 31:10-31. That is a Godly woman who is educated, intelligent, buys land, manufactures goods etc. Stop treating women as house slaves. Sound like you are bitter.
