14:23 "This whole universe, this whole cosmos, was created so that you and I could become like Him." 🤯🎤💥 "When he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1 Jn 3: 2) "When a person in prayer meets God in the depths of one’s heart, one already here on earth directly experiences that which the apostle Paul describes as seeing God 'face to face'... The person abides in God’s presence. The apostle Paul compares this new state of the person to a 'seeing' of God... it is a 'seeing' of the Invisible One." (Christ--Our Pascha)

A great sermon about accepting affliction in our lives, when we seek to do God's will.

[@mariechong9109]

Lord, open my eyes! Fill me with a vision of heaven

[@ruthortega5822]

Wow! Once again, I am in awe of your sermon, Father Mike. You never cease to amaze me and encourage me to strive to be a better Christian. I have several light afflictions in my life right now and I ask God to use them to help me become like Him. I give it to you and I let you use it for my good, Jesus.

[@Peggy_Lyons-tu1sj]

God will use all for the good, especially when it's offered up voluntarily. God does not force anything.

[@ettigirb3]

It's the only way to make sense of suffering, and it's what brought me back to the church.

[@TboneWTF]

Why must you "make sense" of suffering? Why can't you just accept it as part of life?

[@libertykim6438]

Thank you Father Michael. I often need to slow down your videos because you talk really fast. But you did a great job explaining this

[@KB_2161]

True, he talks fast, but he gives us more information that way. ❤

[@gerry.shafer6101]

I needed this today

[@marlenediaz7719]

Love him 😢so good 😊

[@SteveRegnier]

Beautiful! It is in the acceptance and trust of what is happening in this moment that God can make us like Him and help us become the fullness of who we are in Him. Nothing is wasted when we remain open to the love of God. Thank you, Fr. Mike!

[@robinpalaima8500]

Fr. Mike, thank you so much! I have had incredible pain due to my spine. I've been in tears on an off for 2 weeks now. After listening to you, God has a purpose for the pain. Thank you. All praise, honor and glory are yours, Almighty Father, forever. Amen

[@TboneWTF]

"God has a purpose for the pain"? LOL. Are you serious? Jesus Christ why would your gad allow you to suffer? My advise is to get to a doctor so your pain can be managed. good luck.

[@annamariebarlikas]

It's given praise and glory to God 🙏

[@kathyzurzolomyers7932]

Today was day 365 for me !!! What a year Ty Fr. Mike. "I can't wait to see you tomorrow "

[@nickyravens-ernstzen5022]

Thank you Fr Mike. I am a 55 Mom, Grandmom and Wife. I have been diagnosed with Subcortical Vascular Dementia a few months ago and I really needed to hear this. Love from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Coolcatsbricks]

@@nickyravens-ernstzen5022 Praying for you & your family 💗✝️ It seems more common that people have dementia & alzheimers. God Bless you 👼

[@nickyravens-ernstzen5022]

@@Coolcatsbricks Thank you ever so much. I do believe this is so true. It’s by the Grace of God and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary that I have gotten through 29 years of Lupus and every disease and condition that is its friend and now the Dementia. I have my off days when I ask God “Why Me” but then I am back to being happy and silly me. It’s not easy for family and friends and they too need prayers to be able to deal with it. May God Bless you for your prayers for others.

[@RobinBaich]

A homily I need right now. "Use it." I'll remember this. Thank you!

[@colettemccleave4532]

OH. MY. GOSH. SUPERB.

Peace be. Let us Roman Catholics - Pope to the unborn- not make the Word of God become bitter Word but remain for all time sweet Word. 15:42 ❤

[@diannegazzola1957]

Thanks!

Wow! I’m speechless. I’m convicted. I’m becoming. 🙏🏻 Praise God. Thank you Fr. Mike. I’m praying for you, please pray for me. ❤

[@josieguillen8318]

Thank you Father Mike. Your message was good medicine for my soul today, as I needed encouragement and renewed hope.

[@Myjc33]

My precious little brother, I have waited all my life for you to share the way you do, I am so grateful for you, and to you! You, Dear Father Michael, are always in my prayers!

[@janetandrews1306]

Thank you Father Mike.

[@mariechong9109]

Lord use my brokenness, my self afflicted unhappiness, heal me in the process that I will be like You 🙏

[@JKai-k8f]

When I received Holy Communion, I told Him, "I surrender all." The Lord needs me to pass the message forward. When you receive Him, in Holy Communion, tell Him, "I surrender all." His love is enough. The Lord is truly enough.

Wow! As I just came out of Integrating Life’s Losses retreat and now hearing this, I just want to say, thank you and thank God. Whatever will unfold from here onwards, nothing was and will be wasted.

This homily is so timely…my family is moving across the country by the end of the year and I’m struggling with the reality of being separated from them for the first time. Okay, God…use this! 🙏🏼❤️

[@This-isGirl]

Thank you so much Fr Mike. I just finished 33 days to Morning Glory at hallow and consecrated myself to our blessed Mother Mary at Mass today. This is the second time and it feels so different mainly because I'm doing ciy and biy, besides other prayers. I've been learning so much from your podcasts. Your homily is perfect for me today. Give it all, offer up all. God bless you Fr Mike 🙏🏻

[@KB_2161]

God bless you ❤

This is profound. Thank you Fr. Mike

[@sandrasabatini5175]

From my surroundings, seems like we are here just to see where the next betrayal will take us to. Or at least I know I am, in this place, surrounded by jealousy and envy for the most part.

[@DarkAngel-cj6sx]

Oh lord Jesus Christ use our pains to perfect us

[@mandericom]

Amen.

Thank you Fr Mike! Bless you.

[@PamelaCatherine24]

[@Harvesterain]

I have so many health issues and can't work. Some days I feel totally worthless, relying on my parents to survive. I'm still trying to figure out how to find my purpose in life.

[@b8akaratn]

9:30 ...i may have cheered a little bit at the thought of being able to offer up my irritability /grumpiness in service to the Lord. ... Okay, actually, a very loud cheer with hands raised 🙌 🤭... Betcha'll glad i watch frum home 😆🤣

[@KB_2161]

Not! I personally love that lol. ❤🙏❤

[@wms72]

This is what St. Therese, the Little Flower, taught

[@JoshuaRuoff]

I think Ascension needs to make apparel and accessories that say "Ok God, use it." I am also going to be wearing two watches from now on since that seems to be the new trend

[@lorainecasali1998]

Father mike, i like the green vestiments but you shine in pentecodst red...lc

[@louisesandberg1249]

I give you, God, every moment of this and every day. Thank you for all the moments of yesterday. I apologize for the 3 moments I took back. Thank you for redeeming even those moments when I surrendered again. Please lead me to exactly where you want me to be, doing just what you want me to do.

[@VikkiElizabethSemple]

I just got this scripture today on the parable of the wedding banquet… and it is really making me think about the importance of taking the call of God seriously. The call to a wedding… even to dress the part. It’s given me a new fresh outlook. I am going to do my best to always be in celebration mode… that’s what we are commanded to be ready for otherwise we are to be thrown out into utter darkness! You got to fight for your right to party! That’s what comes to mind… it’s not just a right… it’s a command. We are human though… but I’m going to try… Let’s see how this goes.

Hallelujah!!! I’m the favorite, $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.

[@Sis.RachelClaire]

Oh really? Tell me more! Always interested in hearing stories of successes.

[@JenniferLyn1919]

Enthralled by tales of triumph, I share with you the marvels Ana Graciela Blackwelder has wrought in my life. Through her expertise, I have ascended to heights previously unattainable. With earnings from her counsel, I have secured a new abode and vehicle on American soil, and most profoundly, I have financed my son’s essential surgery. Praise be to God, shalom indeed.

[@JenniferLyn1919]

Verily, the name Ana Graciela Blackwelder resonates with success.

[@NathanielHenry-dv7jh]

I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success. I, too, have tasted the fruits of her wisdom.

[@NathanielHenry-dv7jh]

Indeed! I Witnessed the transformations of those who, armed with naught but determination, have emerged victorious under the tutelage of Ana Graciela Blackwelder.

[@anneliesed]

It seems that the only thing that God wants from us and for us is our suffering. Suffering is joy?

[@KB_2161]

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don’t feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what! My love to You, My Lord, and to all of my brothers and sisters in need of prayer, worldwide, especially those in need of purgatorial prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen. Amen.

[@gleeberger8966]

But isnt that what Satan told Eve... That we could become like God? I think we are here so we can learn to love, worship, and glorify God.

[@TboneWTF]

According to the babel the only thing Satan did was tell the truth while your gad wiped out millions of lives.

[@KB_2161]

Hello Ascension Presents: I wish to first of all thank you for everything you do. You are quite the blessing for all. I wondered if Fr Mike's daily masses might be live streamed? We all know that priests are bored and have nothing to do, especially Fr Mike. He is so comfortable in front of the camera. Fr Mike, you are a Ham lol. Plus, you say a mass every day anyway. Just saying, get the Ham a go pro lol. You know we thank you and love you and pray for your intentions. That means that we are praying for you praying for us praying for you. As a matter of fact, it could be set up so that the funds from the daily mass are set aside for a specific purpose such as, IDK, the new church? It is just a suggestion. God bless ❤

[@kitkatsabrat100]

Father I have a question would you be able to answer? About sin and forgiveness
