My friend told me a story once about when he was a younger man. He was in the habit of sleeping around with girls, cheating on girlfriends, trying to pick up girls at nightclubs etc and going to confession before Mass every Sunday so he could receive Holy Communion. One Sunday, he unknowingly went to a TLM parish and went to confession before Mass started. He confessed the same sins he was used to confessing. The Priest asked him if these sins were common for him and he admitted they were, so he refused to absolve him and told him to earnestly repent before trying to receive The Eucharist again. At first, my friend was very upset about what happened. It rocked him so hard that he actually stopped attending Mass for an entire year. Eventually, he realized the Priest was right for doing what he did. My friend started to take his faith seriously. He came back to the Church, changed his ways and became so knowledgeable about the faith that he actually sponsored me in my RCIA class. Denying Holy Communion to those that aren't living in unity with the teachings of the Church can be the most pastoral thing a Priest can do.

This! I'l be honest, I didn't know that people had these hang ups. About a month ago, I went for the blessing rather than the eucharist because I knew that there were a couple of things that I needed to confess before receiving. But I didn't feel embarrassed or as though others were judging me. A little awkward because the minister wasn't expecting it (he did a nice blessing though), but it was fine.

I know that if you go you will find such intense peace in your heart. I will pray for you and your son. We are all sinners brother but we don’t have to carry these burdens alone.

I sat in my car on a cold winter's night knowing I was going to go to my first confession in over 30 years. I heard Mother Angelica's words say 'just go to Confession'. After an hour of pouring my heart out and lots of tears, I felt like someone had just lifted a hundred pounds off me when the Priest laid his hand on my head and said "I absolve you of your sins". You are like a baby LM being reborn again. When you do it, you will be overjoyed and filled with a sense of love you've never had before. You could always phone the Priest and make arrangements to meet for confession at a specific time/day or tell him if you want to go before Mass. Often times, though, you'll need more time than the average and you don't want to be rushed through this first visit. You'll have a lot to cover and the Priest will guide you. God love you LM...............it's going to be absolutely wonderful. Then....go buy an ice cream cone to celebrate! God will be proud. xoxo

@@JuanVargasArts Thank you for your words of encouragement. (Actually I am a woman but my name is vague) Spoke to the priest after Mass and will be making arrangements for an appointment. We’ve been going back to church recently, Protestant/southern baptist (husband is Protestant upbringing), but it’s not Home to me. I was fortunate as a kid going to a cathedral, which is now a Basilica Minor. The reverence when you walked in - nothing like it. There is a Latin Mass service an hour drive. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while- just not sure what changes the Vatican will be making to them. Apparently they met recently. I’d love to experience an authentic Latin Mass.

I remember just before I separated from my ex-husband, knowing he was unfaithful & “committed” to another, having sex one last time. The intimacy of the union was “distorted” & damaged. You are so correct Father Mike. I felt used & destroyed. I can only imagine how Jesus feels when we partake of Him knowing we only want to be faithful in the areas we want to, not totally committed to Him.

My Mom is 70. Fell away for 55+ years. We were blessed Monday with my conversion (baptism, confession, confirmation & 1st communion) & she went to confession & recirced the Host alongside of me. Beautiful reconciliation.

Christ was clear to the adulterous woman: Repent and do not sin again. Which means we must surrender to God completely. If we do not, then we can't be forgiven. Otherwise, it's worthless. Thank you, Fr. Mike, for the souls you save and how you educate ALL of us.

For those who suffer with scrupulosity and mental disorders in conjunction with full disposal (or consumption) of the Holy Eucharist or feeling anxious of whether or not you are allowed to receive Communion without being in an objective state of mortal sin (there is some subjectivity and flexibility in these circumstances) trust in God’s mercy. For those who also struggle with finding and trusting the words of regular confessor, trust in God that what they will say is from Jesus Himself. This is not easy as I struggle with all the time. Know you are not alone.

I don't know about you, but I always feel warm, and like I can finally be calm once I receive communion. I think that is a silent sign. That is it ok. Plus we all know before all those other things no matter what his message might be the first thing Jesus says over and over is.. "I love you. I Love you." Believe in That, and it will be Ok.

No matter how much fasting one does, if you are divorced or have committed any of those acts, you can't receive communion in the Catholic church without confession, period.

It has been about three years since I have gone to confession. This has led me to look for spiritual answers, but they are not from God. I have recently realized that I must stop my sins, but some of them can be addictive. Thank you to Father Mike for continuing to shed light on these important topics. Once things in my community start to open again, I will make sure to go to confession because it is an important part of my faith. God bless you, Fr. Mike. You are in my prayers. 🙏💕

The thing is, Even Mr. Schmitz can't do, to deny someone the communion. We learn in the communion-lesson, that we are not supposed to NOT give someone the communion, eventhough we know that the person is in mortal sin. Actually we should do it as our lord says in the Bible, that we have to speak with the person and let him notice the sin, he made. If he doesn't listen, than we should bring support to convince him. If this does not work, than the whol community should be involved. And if he still does not listen, then he shall be excluded from the community.

this is a tough one to hear, as i’ve been having a hard time getting to church since the pandemic….but i don’t feel attacked by these standards, i feel called to them.

Father, as someone who hasn't been baptized or catechized yet, I love these videos. People criticize the church for being harsh or tyrannical with her rules, and yet we don't compel them through any form of force. We don't require conversion at the barrel of a gun, we don't extort people into obeying your dogma, we literally do nothing except try to convince people. That is the opposite of tyranny. If you don't follow the rules of Catholocism, fine, that's your choice... but that doesn't mean you get to have whatever you want. I would love to partake of Holy Communion, when I go to church there is NOTHING I want more than that (I confess, as much as I love God, I struggle with boredom in church), but I haven't done the basic tasks necessary to receive Holy Communion. You are quite literally doing the Lord's Work.

Thank you. Because we Love Jesus We must do what is right❤😇

Thank you. This was such a great explanation. Also when you said “badly” is the correct part of speech you put a smile on this former teacher’s face.

You are right Father. One of the most difficult moments for me have been when I cannot grant the forgiveness to people who would like to receive the Eucharist but they're not ready to stop doing what prevents them to be in full communion with the Church. Blessings in your ministry

Fr Mike you are an utterly astonishing priest! Come to the UK!!!

It is about being responsible, bearing responsibility for our actions and trusting God's divine mercy, if we do not trust God that God wants and is able to transform us and cleanse us from our sins, or worse if we can no longer see what is sinful in our lives because we do not trust the Church; we profane the Body and Blood of Christ which becomes a greater sin in itself.
