If anybody doubts this, they should just check every contemporary music video and computer game out. 😖
Thank you Fr. Michael, for your fortitude and truth. We’re starving for truth. God bless, keep, guide and protect you.
Thank you for discussing todays reading, Not many Priests were as brave and trusting in Jesus as you are. You put my heart at rest.

IF there were any Catholic priests in England that taught this I would not have removed myself from mass 12 years ago
Wonderful- let’s not bless immorality. 🙏🙏🙏

The Church can not bless sin, which means (to me) when a Priest tries to bless sin the ritual is invalid and has no spiritual effect, but as St Paul exhorted on the topic of immorality, the sinners (people) are somehow blessed by listening to him.
Thank you Fr.Mike for your Guidance and Leadership
My heart breaks for the church. Your words are so comforting. Stay strong brothers and sisters. God bless

Thank you Fr. Michael from London England for your excellent sermon.
A most excellent homily , well said.
The Church is blessed to have Fr. Michael. We are blessed. In him, I plainly see and hear what Catholic priest is for the Church
Amen. Thank you, Fr. Mike. Your message is spot on, these are struggles for many of us.
Fr. Mike, Tell it, your spot on. We’re currently in a cesspool world! 🌺✝️🌺
Thank you Fr Mike may God be with you and your congregation.
Incredible homily
Fr Mike congratulations for your great sermon keep serving God rather than the world Our Lady of Lourdes protect your son forever
God bless Fr. Mike for SPEAKING THE TRUTH, A M E N 🙏✝️🛐
Thank you Fr Mike. Your wisdom is more valuable now than ever.
Thank you Father for your vocation and your care for God's people. I'm listening in from Alabama, although I do have ties to the MS and LA Gulf Coast. May God bless you Father 🙏
I’m not catholic but this man is right on!
I am not worthy Lord. Thanks for this wonderful reflection Father!
I use my yahoo calendar to give me reminders of my favorite prayers in the morning. I added “Speak Lord, your servant is listening”.❤
Father, I really appreciate your homilies, mainly because you "pull no punches". However, your delivery is one of compassion and charity. We recently left a parish where the same message would be delivered, but with sarcasm and not real charity. I know you know this, but I really appreciate you!!
Thanks Fr. Mike, whenever I can’t hear or understand stand my local priest’s homily, I turn on your video and you break it down with the best of them. Great homily. Crystal clear. Thanks again. If I’m ever in your area I will be stopping by to hear your break it down in person. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Father Mike for being obedient to God's TRUTH and loving us enough to give us TRUTH. This was Awesome 👍. I'm going to share this with my children and grandchildren who are Not Christ centered 🙏 please pray that The Holy Spirit will break through their hardened hearts to receive this TRUTH. God Bless you 🙏
A powerful homily! Very appropriate for the present times in the whole world.Praise be to God The Father Almighty! Glory to God in the Highest and peace to all the people of good will!....Greetings from Colombo Sri Lanka!🙋😇🌹
Praying for more priest like you Father Mike 🙏🙏🙏
This Priest is anointed mightily. God bless him more and more❤
1pm Australian Eastern Standard Time 15 Jan. Thank you Fr. Mike for one of the most enlightening homilies I have ever heard and I am 84 years of age. Having discovered your daily talks about 12 months ago I look forward to each one
This was my first time listening to your Homily Father and wow what a breath of fresh “HOLY”air that was for me! Thank you for your YES to God! May you continue touching lives! Blessings to you from Southeastern Ohio ✝️🙏🏻

mine too. Praise God for your clear message that is desperately NEEDED TODAY. I would add 1 important thing that I feel that Fr. Mike should add - when we follow God's way, re chastity or other commands of God, we benefit in our lives. Yes, we may be rejected by others BUT we will not experience the terrible fallout of NOT following God. Think of the devastation that the sexual immorality falls on people, torn hearts and lives. It brings no good things. Keep on Fr. Mike, keep on, and may God bless you abundantly for your faithfulness to be a messenger of God in this fallen world.
We need more sermons like from more pulpits; no matter whether ROMAN or PROTESTANT PROTESTANT.. PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR .
Father, send a copy of your sermon to many, many priests and bishops. Of course we want to always listen to our Lord when He speaks but today every Catholic should know/recall that our bodies are sacred and that an “irregular” union is a grave offense to God Almighty. If this truth is passed over without directing it, it will continue to be ignored and Sodom and Corinth would’ve won the day. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your truth Father.
Amen 🙏 Powerful Thank you Fr Mike for reading the whole part in Corinthians as our church & so many avoid reading all of it.. I love that we were washed and called out of the old culture and into the new life with Christ! 🙏
THANK YOU for preaching the TRUTH Fr. Mike !!!!! Bob in Grand Rapids MI......
Great sermon that explains our day to day struggle and that helps us enforce our faith in the true Carholic teachings. Thanks for your testimony. May God bless us in our journey.
Thank you brother. My body is for the Lord. May God continue to richly bless you. Amen.
Fantastic!!!! Yes- what I need to hear. What I need to be reminded. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you, Fr. Mike, for preaching the Truth to us!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Very powerful Good teaching 🙏🏼 Thank you Fr Michael
Thank you Fr. Mike
Wow. This is very powerful. And exactly what we need to hear. ❤
Father Mike, I need this msg. Thank you.
God bless Father Mike..Awesome homily
Thank you Father Mike for this very much needed Homily!!!
Thank you Rev Fr.Mike. God be with you.
Well done Father Mike! 🙏🙏
Thank you father for your profound sermon. I learned to appreciate your different thoughts on “Behold! The Lamb of God!”. Bishop Barron’s way of being touched by the very Words is not wrong. It’s a different way how one feels, expressed, and spiritually absorbed by such proclamation. May God always by your side as you serve Him. Respectfully yours.
Never heard a great explanation like this in a homily before. Thanks Father you are Bllessed….
What our Lady said at Fatima is *TRUE.* Sexual Sin is the Sin that leads many down to Hell.
I'm not sure if I learned this from Father Mike's homilies or someone else's however I now bless my ears with Holy Water so my ears may hear God.

Amen - Give us ears to hear.
The Call of Andrew and Peter Come and See: What Are We Looking for Jesus Asked the Question? Jesus Asked the Question to Andrew and His Companions: Then He Invited them to "Come and See." This is the Invitation of Jesus to All of Us. We are All Invited to Include Him in Our Resolutions - In Our Plans - And in Our Life. The Gospel Gives Us Hope and the Guarantee that in Him We will be Seeing What We Are Looking For! Thank You Rev. Mike O'Connor & God Bless! ⛪

Great sermon Fr Mike, many thanks

Spot on, Father 👍 We are living in Corinthian culture.

Excellent homily Father!
May God bless you abundantly Fr. Michael and grant you salvation in His Kingdom.
Beautiful homily...truth speaks
God bless this Priest. Our 2nd reading today was stripped of most of the actual content. Our Priest didn't cover the second reading, even though it was butchered.

I do the 2nd reading at Mass every Sunday. I look it up on line beforehand for practice. I dreaded the reading i found on line. "Fornication" was the main word and it appeared several times. But when I checked it in the lectionary before mass it appeared as "immorality". I certainly wasn't comfortable reading it as I saw it on line, that's for sure. I'm not a priest. I don't give homilies.
The faithful will follow the faithful Shepherds
Amazing homily Fr. Mike, thank you 🙏🏽
Amen Preach Father Preach
Thanks be to God!
Such a wonderful homily.
THANK YOU FATHER.
Always such wonderful homilies!
Blessings Father Mike 🙏🏽
I asked and listened this morning and got this: BLESSING FOR SAME SEX COUPLES May the Lord bless you with the grace of His friendship. May He enlighten your minds to see His Divine Truth, May He grant you His grace to follow the Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ His Son ever more closely, and bless all your efforts to do so. Amen

Was there any mention of such couples separating for the sake of Jesus? There are incredible blessings that come after repentance. I Corinthians 6:11
My lord and my God this has btought me to weep
2:15 When father says Jesus is is not the lamp in the sense of a weak figure, this was just heaven sent since I was just enlightened by a dream this past night when an angel of the Lord I'd seen in my dreams various times in the form of very meek & pure (an angel of purity), now I saw him very masculine in a sense & powerful with a small sword in a menacing form, holding a tall scary demon at bay on his knees! This greatly inspired me as a man to not fall into the trap of not having a manly figure to look up to so as to imitate. I began to worship & thank God for this deliverance & now I just want to be faithful to Him furthermore so as to not have my spiritual enemies laugh at me in my weakness against lust & porn & in turn laugh at God who battles for us so fiercely! The talk itself was providential since it's what I've struggled with.
God bless you🙏✝️🙏Jesus my love my life my everything❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Father Mike❤
We need to tell the whole world this
Amazing sermon. Thank you, Father Mike. God bless you and protect you always. 🙏
I am listening from SE Asia, what an inspiring homily!
Amen! Thank you Father for speaking the truth and standing for the Lord and being a good shepherd. May the Lord bless and protect you, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Thank you
These words were dictated by a power far greater than i . I am only the pen!🇨🇦😔
And it's rampant in the Catholic Church.
It's too bad that Saint Paul couldn't return and provide a letter for Pope Francis and all of the Bishops to read throughout the world.

It’s good that he said there’s no need for the Victorian/puritan ere & also pointed out that women in other cultures don’t dress like they do to be promiscuous
Someone needs to send Father’s sermon to the pope. He’s certainly not on the same page with the blessing of same sex unions. The pope’s acceptance of Cardinal F. S Sexual books
