"Comfort Breeds Complacency" + 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Fr. Mike's Homily)
Ойын-сауық
Complacency is being satisfied with how things are and not being willing to change them.
We are insulated from discomfort in many ways. And our lives of comfort can lead to complacency. But encountering Christ can lead to compassion.

Thank you Father Mike ❤
Father Mike, you have such great ideas and speak so well. Thank you for sharing your talent. You’re so amazing!
Fr Mike. How insightful. How true. God help us all.
Just wow. Thanks to the Lord for this as it will help me on the journey to get to know Christ🙏🏼
I really appreciate you praying for those that cannot make it to church for illness reasons. Sometimes those illnesses are not the ones everyone can see and your Sunday homilies bring me a lot of hope ✝️

Praise be to God Fr. Mike. Great homily. I think I fall under those who are complacent about how things are. Bring me to action to what I can do to bring a difference to others.
Thank you fr Mike for the wonderful homily on how more comfort can be dangerous and how every Christian can be a ray of light in the lives of people who feel insignificant and lonely
God comes to comfort the afflicted but also to afflict the comfortable.
It broke my heart, Mother Theresa was right 😢 We are lonely in the Western world! The East has a lot to offer on the spiritual level.. Thank you so much for making this point fr.Mike ▪︎▪︎▪︎
The moral of the sermon is to Always Make the Best Time Possible Regardless of Time! St. Francis of Asissi was known for the ability to communicate with animals. It is very fun when we take the time to talk and communicate with animals, and many wonders do happen.
Thank you, Father Mike. Another important message

@@Sunflower-mm2qd are you just commenting arguing against everyone who is blessed by this message? How is that advancing your cause to draw people near to Christ? Examen, my friend 🙏
Thanks!
I worry a little, having moved to a retirement home, there is literally nothing to do here but relax! All meals are supplied. I love to do nothing, but my prayer life has improved. I pray I’m okay and not complacent. One of my best memories is buying sandwiches for the homeless people I used to see near the grocery store. Some of them were so grateful, while others were too angry. It wasn’t hard to figure out what to do, but here God has not created such an obvious need. Father Mike, this sermon scared me a little. I don’t have that many options. I pray every day that God doesn’t mind me idle. Thank you again for your abundance of wisdom, all so accessible.

I Father Mike really wish that I could go to Mass. I am so glad that I have your Mass to go to!! I am also going through Bible in a year with you and find great comfort in them. Thank you for taking your time to help us. My Brother told me about you and I thank our Lord that I listened to him. Please pray for my family and friends who also do not feel well or do not follow our Lord's word. I again thank you. God. Bless you for being who you are. Love you in. His word. Amen!!!

Really good thoughts Fr Mike, on loneliness and people who aren't seen. We all need to be more aware of this. Thankyou for pointing it out.
What is the Catholic doctrine of providence? In short, Divine Providence can be defined as “the dispositions by which God guides his creation toward this perfection” (ccc 302). We are told that “God protects and governs all things which he has made” (ccc 302) and “cares for all, from the least things to the great events of the world and its history” (ccc 303).
It's too bad Lazarus and Diogenes couldn't hang out. They might have gotten along!😂
Within the last 5 months of my conversion….”cradle” Catholics have stated “I am still learning the fullness of Catholicism “ Praise God for the encouragement…Thank you Father Mike!!!

You better start finding the REAL Catholic church because the Novus Ordo is not Catholic and as a once convert the real Catholics would tell you too to be HUMBLE and learn! You obviously fell for the Novus Ordo, they are not catholic!

Or its maybe they don't care, about making something better,
He wants too many stange thonhs this man, and the others don't really care for others but wouldn't exactly hurt them either, Is yhis an obsession in the mind?
Its because the others moght have a nervous personality, And find out that your nervous personality made the decisions, you lost, Im not joking. Why would youbinsustcon being here, then do the short sighted decision,. Make the decision your in a eorse place, i mean look at him bob they will, we all want the systems destroyed for nothing, netvous personality,

You are why trads get a bad name even from other trads. Your comments are not relevant to the video, are not done in a spirit of charity. All you do is trash the novus ordo and offer nothing postive or true. If you think the novus ordo is illegitimate then keep it moving, stay at that trad liturgy you like, and pray and make penance for the Church and hierarchy to return to Tradition. And above all do things in a spirit of charity, other even the truth just because a blunt entrustment to berate people.
