    12/25/24 Face to Face: Two Words
    Dec 25 2024

    Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas).

    The one who has gratitude has enough.

    At the moment we get to stand before the Lord face to face, what will the automatic and overwhelming response be? Will it be a word of love? Of contrition? Or will it be two words that summarize everything that could be said to the God who has used everything to get us ready to stand before Him?

    Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Advent.

    I'm not going to fear what I don't know, I am going to trust who I do know.

    We can wait in excitement and joy...we can also wait in fear. We fear the dark and might fear death for the same reason: the unknown. We can fear the unknown in the afterlife and we can fear the unknown of our own inner life. God's mercy leads us to a place of trust.

    Homily from the Third Sunday of Advent.

    How can we see the Lord face to face til we have faces?

    We tell ourselves so many stories. Some of these stories are true and some of them are not. One challenge we have is to tell true stories...about ourselves and about the Lord. In order to be able to see the Lord face to face, we will need to know ourselves and some before God as our true selves.

Homily Helps

Thank you Fr Mike for the effort you make to give a high quality homily with good production quality too. Your pearl was a launching point for me this weekend when I was stuck, not sure what to preach on.

Father Mike FTW (for the win)

I hope Father Mike hears or reads these reviews. I started with Bible in a Year on 1/01/23 and now have three of his podcasts in my library. He has changed everything about my relationship with God and my view of the Bible. I have been up and down with God for my whole life, mostly down. I have found new hope, and yes, even LOVE for God the Father now. I have been humbled and am working my way into a fulfilling and loving relationship with the Almighty, thanks to the care of Father Mike. I am grateful.
