What is Pride Month?

My parents were Roman Catholic, but they never took me to church. They stopped going as adults. I became an addict to alcohol and hard drugs. I’m a year sober, and for the first time in my life I feel like something or someone is screaming at me to follow, to learn, to join the community I was guided away from, I cry when I listen to these sermons. It’s what I’ve felt all along but ignored.

[@RonMexico7]

Brother/sister, congratulations on a year sober! I struggle with addiction as well. Jesus misses you so much. And we do too! He’s calling you to come back to the Church He founded, the Catholic Church. This is the meaning of the parable of the lost sheep and also the prodigal son. I was an atheist for 11 years before coming back. Listen to His call and come home. Let me know if there’s any way I can help! But first, ask God. Look into RCIA and talk to your local parish priest. I’ll add you to my intentions when I say my Rosary today. God bless you.

True indeed, but the only Narrow Road is Christ Himself who opened the road to the Highway to Heaven that anyone who believes can be saved. We should stand for the Christian Ideals, but when sinners no longer come to God is when the message and the Church has missed the mark. Anyone can be saved. The work was completed on the Cross.

But I never heard the truth of the Gospel, which would’ve saved my tortured soul… But by the Grace of God, at age 27, the Lord drew me to Himself and I was born again and baptised. The first sermon I ever heard was the one that opened my eyes to a whole new world that I could not have imagined would exist. A world where my Creator actually loved me? He sent His only Son to die for my sin, that I might be made clean? And forgiven? I could talk to my Father God and He wasn’t somewhere up in the sky, with no concern for us down here? How unimaginable this had all been to me. But it was the Truth, and it was real. God really does exist!! WoW!!

I am a conservative Lutheran, and I choose conservative Lutheran priests and congregations when I go to my own Lutheran denomination (the main Lutheran Church of Sweden) for example St Pauli church in Göteborg Sweden. Sometimes I visit the Catholic church, because I beleive that the catholic vicar in my town is a man who preaches with guidance of the holy Spirit. The gerat differences today are NOT BETWEEN; BUT STRAIGHT THROUGH the denominations. That is my belief. Just on the distance between 2 tram-stops there might be entierly different faith and preaching in thte same denomination.

Jeremiah 44 17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? 20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, 21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? 22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. 23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day. 24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: 25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

As a Protestant from Canada, I have to say that I appreciated much of what Fr Michael said in this homily. He takes the truly Biblical "third way"---not hate for LGBT people, nor saying that sin is somehow acceptable, but both showing love and upholding God's "ideal". It's interesting to note how much Catholics and Evangelicals have in common.

[@neilwhite5187]

J P I’m a Protestant from Australia, and I wouldn’t normally watch a Catholic priest speak, but I was curious about this sermon, and was pleasantly surprised… The man was speaking truth, and was even reading scriptures! I stayed for the entire sermon :) I’m actually a born again, Bible believing Jesus follower, and it is looking like we all have more in common than that which separates us at this moment. May we all walk in the only Truth there is : JESUS 🙏

[@TheJwbooth]

There are 3 Bible readings and a responsorial psalm at the beginning of the mass. The readings are not random but follow a schedule so that the Bible is read cover to cover over 3 years. When the Gospel is read it is often processed to the pulpit while being held over the priests head. There is also a large contingent of Evangelicals within the Catholic Church. They may hold group meetings or even build large auditorium churches. Even though it is the largest Evangelic church, I don't think most other Catholics are aware of them. Part of the RCIA preparing adult newcomers for Confirmation, or Baptism if they were not Chrstians, is a service bringing all the candidates in the city to be blessed and welcomed by the archbishop. Our group was assigned to the Evangelic church or I wouldn't have known about them either. I will say they had a great sound system

And have ears to hear The Father's Business Directive. Go Figure with rigour. Is the idealistic soul not overbearing when sharing the Absolute Truth? The disciples despair for their Saviour Jesus wasn't there! Yet He appeared to the women first On arising from the tomb! He saved a gross narcissistic mystic rebellious sinner such as me. And still I cannot see false humility and pride. Strong devoted mature compassionate folk interceding has delivered so many folk! The Holy Spirit's leading is that still small voice. And you've still got a sacred freewill choice. How long shall the strong control the weak? Seeking the face of the Father rather than man's approval. Likely cause pain and remember those who were executed for they refused to fight! Cowards they were called by many Yet Jesus didn't have any other agenda than to ultimately save the wretched sin loving dying by degrees soul to make them whole and practice self control!

fifty (50) yrs ago homosexuality was (still) listed as a mental illness; homosexuality ran and ramped our nation (in some ways the world); then about in 1975 they (dsmv4) changed that and it is not longer listed as a mental illness. politicians "purely" observed this as an opportunity to meet the government "job" if they agree, promote and support homosexuality. today it is listed as a near "qualifier" for employment positions or promotions; even though our laws and constitution stated no discrimination based on: gender, race, ethnicity or religion or sexual orientation. does not matter to the "agenda": look at the recent mr. karine jean WH press secretary. the day she started mr. psaki "praised" ms. jean for being for 1st: immigrant, female, homosexual, black. the following week ms. jean stated the same works (near-identical). nowhere (either jean or psaki) stated any objective qualifications (education, etc) pertinent to the WH press. sec. they do not have to; hence sexual "orientation" and that ms. jean is a lesbian is one "in" of itself. basically we "require" so many positions to be held by "homosexuals"; and our core nation has no issues with this. for 60yrs+ our nation allowed this; now maybe a "price" to pay.

Hi Father Mike. Beautiful !!! As someone who was raised Catholic (and then moved over to a more Protestant way of doing things) your homily and your other KZbin clips are SO onto it. As a nearly sixty-year-old, I have seen so much change. There is so much self-deception in today's world where evil is called good and good is called evil ! Truly we must be living in the last days of the last days. The World is in a mess and we have very similar things going on in New Zealand. While listening to your preaching I felt a powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit come over me.. a joy and enthusiasm and goose bumps as a physical manifestation of how real he is....since being delivered from (unknown) ancestral ties to lodge involvement and other things on Feb 4th this happens often. The Holy Spirit is there every moment for us to call on and will guide those who listen. The part at 17:05 on where you speak on cooperating in sin hit a chord big time.. a really good reminder of how to examine your conscience and see where you are at. I listen to Fulton Sheen clips as well and pray that soon my prodigal daughters will open their hearts and let Jesus in. Your ministry and Fulton's wisdom are absolutely counter-culture in today's world (where God is mocked everywhere) and so needed. We are here for a short while and must NOT get ensnared in the culture of the World if we hope to spend ETERNITY with our Father in Heaven. A huge spiritual battle rages around us every day as the enemy seeks to rob, steal and destroy. May God richly bless and protect you and your ministry in every way. May he enable you to continue to preach the truth and may all who hear you open their hearts to Jesus. Brotherly love. Dave. NZ
