    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.

    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.

    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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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.

    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.

    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.
