- The best way to thank the Giver is to use the gift.
At Pentecost, the Lord poured out His Holy Spirit upon the disciples and blessed them with His gifts. Immediately, they used those gifts. These gifts were given to be used. And so are all of the gifts God continues to give.

The best way to appreciate the gift is to use the gift...Beautiful inspiring sermon...God bless you Fr.Mike 🙏
A homily I wish everyone could watch. Beautiful and true. Come Holy Spirit.
Acts 20 KJV 🩸
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
1 Peter 1 KJV 🩸
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
My son will make his Confirmation Sacrament today and my daughter turns 18 years old! Praise be to God! Please pray for our family Father Mike. God bless you🙏❤

Thank you Father Mike, your message this Pentecost Sunday means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Thank you, Fr. Mike. You helped to heal my heart. Enjoy your day.
Awesome, thank you so much. Come, Holy Spirit!
Good!
Bless you Father Mike. Your faith is wonderful and I love your homilies.
🤔 I have a question. 🩸 Christians faith is in the blood of Jesus Christ. What is Catholics faith in?
Romans 3 KJV 🩸
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
1 John 1 KJV 🩸
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
I love how you relate your own experience with the Pentecost gift of the Holy Spirit. Those are the best homilies when our own priests use their life experiences to the daily gospel.
Thanks, Father Mike.
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏 ❤😊
Thank you! " The best way to praise God is to use His gifts. " Thank you!
Where do you see that in scripture? Would like to know for sure.
@@_ready__ In Peter it says
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: Romans 12:6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; There is more if you google.
@@workinprogress-ye5or thank you. How do you attain salvation?
Thank you for a wonderful homily; personal; May we always be grateful; and use the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Glorify Him; Adore Him; Love him all the days of our lives.
As usual awesome homily
Sometimes I ponder the fact that Jesus charged 12 men to spread the Gospel through the world.
And they did.
Somehow, they did.
Somehow, I will.
Come Lord Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth! Thank you Father Mike for this wonderful homily.🙏
A very good podcast about the importance of celebrating and using our spiritual gifts. I admire the importance of integrity in one's mission.
Thank you and bless you, Fr
Mike!
Father Mike may God continues to keep you safe and holy
My only wish is that I could sit face to face with you Fr. Mike and take in your wisdom and love. You truly are an inspiration and compel me to strive to be a better person
True.Thank you.God bless you.❤
So Very Good!! ❤❤❤
Thank you Fr. Mike for sharing your gifts with us! God Bless everyone!
It’s been probably 20 years ago that I was approached at work by a young lady that knew I played guitar and asked if $5 was a good price for a guitar that was purchased for her dad back in 1976. 1976 Takaminie C128 with original strings that had been sitting in a variety of CLOSETS since its purchase was unique for sure. So I called a major music retailer and asked what they would give her and $95 so I paid her that for the guitar and started thinking. I approached my music duo partner and said there is a song in this story and not only about a guitar sitting in a closet for decades but about putting your talent or gift in a closet and never using them. Her wrote a song called “Amie’s Closet” & pray someday we can get it recorded and published.
5:48 the story Fr. Mike is referring to is Acts Chapter 3
“No offense huddle.” Brilliant observation.
❤
Thank You Fr. Mike❤
THANKS MUCH FR MIKE FIOR THIS MASS AND SERMON TODAY GOD BLESS YOU
I always wondered at the glory of being there for the Holy Spirit but it was only that dramatic once...I didn't expect God to do that for every priest or person but if they needed that to get going, today they really need that kick too. ; ) Maybe in their hearts I pray we all get that fire.
Amen 🙏🙏
“No offence huddle “ tru dat
Hey Fr. Mike Schmitz I was wondering if you could make a video addressing the Harrison Butker situation. I felt as though a lot of people misunderstood what he said and I wanted to know what you thought because to me it sounded like he gave his wife tons of credit and wasn’t dismissing women working
I was born in '79 so I'm really old lol
Thank you father Mike. Maybe w your iron man endurance you can round up many mountain bikers for Sunday school, really helps with worldview, economic understanding, agility to move with gods will & 'Jeology' :) love Jesus.
First time I rode my bike as. A kid, too, it was stolen.
❤️🕊
Hey Fr. Mike, I gave up my gift of music for the Lord because I idolized it. Now I don’t idolize it, should I continue to use the gift?
Thank you Fr Mike. I think I missed something about your initial story. A little confused...how did you glorify the giver of the gift of the bike? Appreciate it.
I know i am meant for the church, but god also knows i am 1) ............... and when i am 2).................. i can feel his pleasure.(fill in the blanks with your own gifts.(Pls comment your gifts. God bless.))
1) good at speaking 2) speak.
Hallelujah!!! I’m the favorite, $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell us more! Always interested in hearing stories of successes.
This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
🙏🏻🌹🕊❤️🔥
Friendly reminder: hit "settings" at the top of the video>playback speed> 75%. It's the Fr Mike the speed-talker hack!!
But what happened to the bike?😂
Go out where? What? I'm all alone, I dont know how or where to bring God to others...no one seems to even care to know God around me...i dont know where to go pour out
Why does Father Mike wear 2 watches?
Probably, he has friends/family in another country or time zone. that would be my guess.
I can't find a movie called Trade of Fire
Chariots of Fire
9:23 "Whenever we use the gift, the mystery is: God is praised." "The gift of the Holy Spirit gives us the opportunity to become partakers of God's nature, to be divinized, to enter into the communion of the Persons of the Most Holy Trinity." ~Christ--Our Pascha
God bless, Fr. Mike! 😀✝
I was thinking about the whole, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" thing. I'm not sure that is true. (I write that a lot in my comments). Very sad stories of Jews who were devout and practicing before the Holocaust. But the suffering they endured caused them to lose their belief in a God. My struggles are in no way comparable to theirs, or with kids who have cancer, etc. But still they are the ones in my life and heart that I feel and experience. And sometimes I question whether I can carry a cross. I am left wondering again... Why is it like this? I saw you in a video say that suffering results in strength. But for some, it is too much. And why must it be like this anyway if God can make it different. I know.. I know... "It is not for us to question, 'why.' It is for us to do and die." Sigh
Strange question. Am I the only one seeing this?…not a criticism! 😅… why do you have two watches?
looks like you need a new candle... xoxo
How do you attain salvation?
Purification, illumination and deification: the ascetical and sacramental life. God bless! 😀✝
@@seans.1331 ahhh excuse me
@@_ready__ Sorry -- Keep the commandments and go to Church. God bless you🙂
@@seans.1331 so you keep the 10 commandments to attain salvation?
@@_ready__ Sorry, I don't have time to respond in depth. Please enjoy the Ascension videos. God bless! ❤
One quick synopsis: salvation is the journey from selfish to selfless love (love God and love your neighbor). Take care 🙂
There’s something strange to me about a priest that dyes his hair.
And now do you go out when you're a disabled and mentally ill person whose health is too broken? The world is such a cruel place, I can barely leave my house with being put into a situation that puts me into a pa Mic attack. If God is so good and loving, why does he let people hurt each other? Personally, I
I'm done with God for his permissive parenting style.
God understands what you can or what you can’t do. As God different gift to different people. Like Gid not gonna an expect a blind person to see. I am sorry for how so many people hurt. It’s terrible, but since we live world with wickedness where people choose to use their free will for evil. But God is there to lean on and will help through rough times. I understand if this hard grasp it still hard for me. Also, get where you come from it does feel like bad world it hard not to blame God. Sometimes you got to remind yourself the devil loves to attack when you’re most vulnerable. But as Christian life isn’t gonna be perfect. But I pray that you heal from any hurt any people did.
@@simplyitsashley5009 Yes over and over I have to read that this isn't heaven, he never promised us heaven on earth. I want every hurt child to have comfort now, every abused person to get help now, but we can pray and I know in heaven, they are given more for what they suffered. He expected us to be better at helping, not living in bubbles.
