I did exodus 90 in 2020, and I’ve maintained many of the things we gave up still 2 years later. Fast/no meat on Wed/Fri, prayer life every day, gave up tv (cancelled it. We were told ‘in 90 days, you’ll turn on the news and it’s the same crud as it was 90 days ago’. 100% correct. I realized I put too much emphasis on watching trash that had no positive effect in my life, so away it went. The long term positives you can get out of exodus outweigh the “difficulty” while doing it.

Without Jesus we would never know the fulness of God. Jesus is the key to the universe for “all things have been created through him” So I’m waiting on Jesus. He gives me strength. As a single mother things aren’t isn’t easy on me. I’m overwhelmed at times because both of my children are autistic. I’m desperately struggling trying to support them and myself because like so many others. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. But God continues to help me. I get harassed and called names for simply asking for prayers, but prayers are all we need to get by, and when you’re a real christian people will always crucify you. Thankfully, God gives me strength to keep going. I have faith God will provide. He HAS THIS FAR. Please pray for me and my children.

I felt God leading me to start a men’s group in 2020 during the pandemic. I started it in April with 6 guys and we’ve been meeting weekly for 2 years. We don’t do Exodus 90 but the brotherhood is invaluable and it’s an honor to see how everyone has grown both together and in their own lives. For anyone wanting to start something like this. A few words of advice. Don’t despise the small beginning. Just starting and meeting regularly is the best way to begin. You’ll figure out what to do from there. Just get started. Don’t worry if you only have 3 people. God will lead the men to you. That’s what happened to us. I’ll find myself somewhere and randomly talking to a guy and he just brings up his life’s problems and I invite him to our group. Let God lead your group. God just wants you to take the the step of starting. 😊

I wish there was more of this kind of thing for women. Women's programs are often so full of absolutely cheesy flowers and Instagram-worthy pictures of coffee cups. They usually feel very superficial. I'm 34 years old and don't need another modesty talk like I am 14 years old. I am plenty old enough to dress myself appropriately. I don't need more talks on homeschooling or how to make my home reflect the liturgical season. I want a program designed for women that is geared toward building a sisterhood of STRONGER women because we also face a lot of obstacles far more serious than liturgical home decor. I want to hear more on how to "crush the serpent's head," like Mary, in my own life. I want to see a program for women to study other women that have had to stand strong in difficult circumstances, and how to build up my own strength. Maybe a focus on female martyrs? A women's version should be different. For instance, women cannot do the same fasting commitments while pregnant or breastfeeding. But men get all the interesting programs!

I have started a Postulancy class to be a Lay Dominican and it’s great, it has the meat and spiritual content I need plus a big emphasis on friendship and hospitality within the community of Dominicans, whatever our vocation. You may want to see if you have Dominicans local to you.

But now it has been manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory. It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me.

I have only just found this KZbin channel iadmit that I'm not a religious person I don't wear my religion on my sleeve I don't force religion on other people. 2 subjects I never talk about with other people that's religion and politics I feel those 2 subjects is what divides us as people. I was raised in Scotland a Catholic I went to Catholic primary school in Edinburgh, Scotland and went to church with my mum. I'll be honest growing up I didn't really feel God's presence in my life. In my family we were all Catholic my great uncle was a Monsignor in the church. As I grew older I don't really know why I stopped going to church it might have been because of the job I had at the time working weekends so I didn't really have time to go to church. I think I also had a crisis of faith I began to doubt that there was a God. I remember one time I had a weekend off I decided to go to church during the service the priest announced that they were having a mass confession for everyone present. It had a been while since I had been to church and debated whether or not I should go to confession. I decided to go to confession we only had a few minutes so I confessed my crisis of faith the priest asked me why I had gone to mass that Sunday. I thought for a minute then looked at the stained glass windows and crucifix above the alter and something felt alive in me and made me realise that God is real. He then gave me absolution the words the priest said felt so powerful I felt so moved I had tears rolling down my cheeks felt the love of God from those words. What the priest said at the end mass also moved me he thanked us all for going to confession he said he knew how hard it can be to go to confession. I glanced over and saw another person who was moved to tears as I was I sat there and felt the presence of God and I vowed I would never doubt again. I would like to thank you Father Mike I've only just found your KZbin videos whenever I watch I feel closer to our Lord. I love your enthusiasm and your words and your stories thank you.

Hey people I do not recommend starting exodus 90 before Christmas because it then goes over the period of Christmas which is actually supposed to be a time of celebration. Start it after Christmas, especially when it ends on easter. You will have fewer temptations to break exodus because it is more of a time in the church for fasting. You should not be fasting on Christmas day. Celebrating Christ birth trumps fasting.

Asceticism has been practiced for thousands of years by numerous cultures and yet here we are...with a man crisis, smh. So, although the idea of the 90 thing is beautiful and is based in an idea of ultimate goodness and even though it may produce a body of better health which improves outlook, it really isn't as effective as doing something that can be considered the opposite of asceticism. What do I mean? Well, I mean, I would effectively help many clients back in the day by guiding them to stop focusing on giving things up and to start focusing on grabbing hold of the new (no addiction is left without being replaced by something, no vice is removed without a virue replacing it). What is it that someone is struggling with? Lonelines? Get a new community, get involved in a group based hobby. Get involved in a food bank and serve other lonely ppl. Is it an addiction or an obsession? Place something more important than the addiction in front of you and take full responsibility for it. If you are high this thing of responsibility could be lost. You have to be sober to take care of...[dogs at a shelter, a person that means a lot to you, a social staple you find super valuable and important. Is it a deep sense of sorrow? Fill it with joy. As you walk along throughout the day let nothing you see go passed without noticing something about it that brings joy to the world. "Oh, look! There's a rock, the blue in it brings reflection from the sky". "Oh look, there's a giant Tucson roach, that one lady really loves painting them- they bring her so much really gross happiness". I'm just saying, this path leads one to a naturally produced asceticism. You can't honestly appreciate someone for their inherent value and still devalue them by objectifying them at the same time. You can't cherish the company of another and at the same time dislike their presence. When you replace devaluing with active valuing you are a happier person because you find an inherent appreciation for all the different nouns in existence. Actively look for something beautiful in someone that dislikes you, actively look for the value of something you find repugnant, actively look for the greater purpose for things that seem to have no immediate value. Actively look for ways to be a force of good in the world. Actively ask God, "How can I be a force of good for You in this situation"? Satan takes us through ascetic trials, we don't have to self inflict with them, we have to learn how to navigate through them with God's guidance. Yep (**clap...clappity-clap, clap**).

@@neyetm5550 It focuses on the self and it also focuses on self-discipline both of which men tend to like to focus on due to the social constructs that shape men's perceptions (i.e. being independent and being self-reliant which are indicative of success, wealth, and health- all attributes heavily pushed on men to exude). This program therefore (because it caters specifically to this proclivity) is a temporary fix that boosts the ego through feelings of accomplishment and comradery by way of results seen and temporary relationships built. Thus, it is a short lived victory that must be completed over and over again to fool the participant into thinking that they are accomplishing greatness rather than stuck in a hamster wheel made of matter and material. The very stuff (matter and material) that put them into the spiraling depression/grizzled state in the first place). So, in order to, long-term, achieve a sustained sense of well-being and actually meet spritual development on the path, one has to seek know what they are "missing" and/or what is causing them internal angst then coming to service to cause. For example, the saying, "the best way to help yourself is to help another" is true in this context. If you are a drug addict the best job you could ask for is helping other drug addicts to become sober, if you yourself want to become sober. If you are lonely, the best job you could ask for is taking care of the elderly in a nursing home or abandoned babies in a residential facility. It's coming out of yourself and your ego-centeic concerns to meet the needs of others in the same position that you are in that brings the most spiritual growth and internal sense of peace. He wants to help men come out of being in this wretched state, piting themselves in competition, yeah, works, but only temporarily. Piting them against their internal deficits is what's actually life changing. But, too, despair requires a new perspective first and a new way to look at the world (CBT, Cog. Behav. Thrpy); it requires you retrain/rewire your brain to seek out, and find, and see the good, worthwhile, and the beautiful. Thank you for your comment and giving me the clue to explain it a bit better.

To love is to will the good of the the other person. Be careful not to confuse that with infatuation, which focuses more on the self and what is to be personally gained.

Once I saw 90 days in this video I already knew what this was about, because around 90 days ago was when I started, failed, and tried again countless times to complete Exodus 90. Unfortunately my circumstances like many others have made it so that it is 10x harder to complete Exodus 90 than someone living a normal life, on the account of poverty and above all, the nonstop at home mental abuse. With that being said, I refuse this offer because I believe everyone's circumstances are different, including my own. I refuse this offer because I believe my relationship and understanding with God And my work toward my vocation is all I need to focus on to ascend to a better place. I refuse this offer because I believe I practice Exodus 90 here and there when it is suitable for my corresponding circumstances, because there is a time and place for everything. So I refuse. I refuse to do Exodus 90 because I don't need to do this to be successful because there is no black and white blueprint/instruction manual to get to a happy life, only consistent faith in your higher purpose/vocation can give you meaning and fulfillment.

Father Mike could you do a Science vs Religion Topic video? I'm a student studying about theoretical physics and most of the things I've learned contradict with the bible. I'm still religious and I was hoping you could help me connect the concept of science with religion.

The two aren’t opposed, and thus aren’t a “vs” Can I ask, what have you learned that contradicts religion? In my eyes, science explains how things work, and theology explains why things work. The two work together perfectly, as far as I’m concerned. Both are necessary and important.
