- The Temple is the place of sacrifice.
Peter notes that we are built into a spiritual house. We know what kind of building it is based on the purpose of the building. And the purpose of the Temple is to be the Presence of God and the place of worship and sacrifice. If we are temples of the Holy Spirit, then this is true for us as well.

I'm not Catholic, but I watch your homily every week, and I am always edified. Thank you.
🙌
❤️❤️❤️
I would highly recommend attending a Catholic Mass. The reverence, solemnity, prayer, and worship that takes place is undeniably one of the most profound things you can experience.
Come to mass!! The Real Presence is powerful!! 💖💖💖
@@CantStopTheMattWalsh I have been to a baptism, funeral, and midnight mass. I am wanting to go to a mass on a regular Sunday, but I have to admit I feel a little nervous to go.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”
1 Corinthians 6:19
Father Mike , just one good thing came out of the pandemic for me, I found you. You are so down to earth, humble, witty but the best yes I understand your Homily. I'm eighty-six years old, a woman that has experienced many things. I want you to know that I share your homily every Sunday with most of my adult grandchildren that are scattered around the world. Specially the med student in Puerto Rico. I want to ask a special favor for his 26-year old sister Valerie Cantu. She she suffered an aneurysm yesterday. The whole family is in shock. She's a healthy young woman just starting life. Please pray for her. She's a wonderful good person that recently graduated from Texas A&m and college station. And joining her first important and her new apartment. She just adopted two doggies. She's a good Catholic girl never missing a Sunday of Latin Mass. Please Father Mike and anyone else reading this comment I'm asking for prayers for a speedy recovery for my granddaughter Valerie Cantu. And you my beloved kind Father Mike keep on being yourself never never change.
@Elsa Cantu - So sorry to hear about your granddaughter. I just said a prayer for Valerie, her family and everyone who is taking care of her.
🙏🙏🙏🙏Praying foe your Granddaughter for a full recovery 🙏🙏🙏
🙏 for Valerie
@@gailkirk4024 I will do a Novena
Can’t thank you enough for what you do father Mike! Sincerely, you’ve been a huge blessing for my family!
200,000 RAPED ALTAR BOYS AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be it known: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
3 John 1:11 KJV
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
1 John 3:6-10 KJV
6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.
Amen! Father Mike, I thank you for continuing to say “yes” to your vocation. The Holy Spirit truly speaks through your homilies EVERY WEEK without fail.
May my Guardian Angel remind me to offer sacrifice. Thank you, God, for giving Fr. Mike this homily to edify us, and to rightly value and further our Morning Offering.
Fr. Mike is a real shepherd guiding us, the sheep belonging to the Good Shepherd, to live out our lives in trust, service, thanksgiving, and real holiness in Christ.
God loves us so much he gave us his only begotten son. Jesus I’m crying out to you. Please hear my cries. I knew when I found Jesus my life wouldn’t be easy because I would have to give up my sinful life style and follow him. I’m a single mother struggling to make ends meet. Since covid I have been struggling to get back on my feet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions, lupus and heart disease so now I’m having a hard time providing for my children. Both of my sons are autistic and non verbal. I’m overwhelmed. I started homeschooling them due to bullying and other issues they were facing in public school. I’m waitressing and I’m happy to be back working but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. I have nowhere to turn no family nor friends. I have been put down and mocked, over my situation. I’m so ashamed and so embarrassed so please be kind. Prayers are all I want. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children I’m barely making it. But even through my struggles I keep faith. Praise Jesus! I have faith God will provide.
❤
I will keep you in my prayers and believe in Jesus, He will never abandon you; be faithful, you will soon His light.
My heart and prayers are with you and your family, my sister in Christ.
Will keep you in my Prayers.. May Jesus give you the Strength and Courage and Patience and HIS Peace to live in JOY always!
You and your children are in my prayers. My Rosary will be for your family. 🙏✝️📿🙏
HE will provide. The Catholic Church offers many programs to help people in need. Go to the Church where you worship and they should be able to provide assistance. Blessings 🙏
I am not a Catholic, but since I've found you recently, I listen every week.
Sarted with the Hallow app, over Lent, started listening to BIY and then looked you up on YT.
I couldn't believe you've been on here for years! I have so many of your older videos on "watch later."
There's something to take away from most of them.
I'm from a Muslim background and accepted Christ.
I hope you know the lives you are reaching, I'm praying for you, Fr Mike and the team that makes this possible.
God bless you all 🙏
So joyful & thankful for your conversion 🥳 💗 ✝️ Praise God 🙏 Thank you for sharing your personal experience. May your faith & love for Jesus grow throughout your life 💗✝️🕊🕯
@@cjm537 Thank you for your kind words and prayer. It's humbling to know Jesus is reaching people, the true Messiah to the nations still revealing himself.
May Hashem bless your life and your loved ones with the same blessings and more! And for all our brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.
What a blessing you are to Mother Church, and to all Christians. Keep good health, the church needs you, and Mary ever intercede.
200,000 RAPED ALTAR BOYS AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHRISTIAN BRAINWASHING IS A WELL PAID JOB.
Jesus I love you. All I have is yours. Yours I am yours I want to be. Do with me whatever you will.
❤
Thank you Father Mike. I look forward to listening to your homily every week. They are always so rich in wisdom. I’m currently doing the bible in a year. I’m on day 107 & can’t express the gratitude for everything you share with us 😊
NORMAL PEOPLE TYPE BIBLE CRITICISM ONLINE AND LEARN THE HEBREW MYTHS ARE MYTHS AND THE BIBLE IS FICTION, CHRIS. HOW EDUCATED ARE YOU?
@@martinkent333 Thank you for asking about my education. Your comment reveals a peak into your bias by referring to ‘normal people’ and the bible as a work of fiction. I will answer your question regarding education: I have a BA with Honours and a Master of Science in Education.
@@chrismults1500 And you never checked the Christian cult facts when they told you eternal life is possible and that there are real and honest to goodness invisible enemies, Stupid? The only proof for your willingness to die for your cult is a "hunch?" How dumb are you, Cupcake? No one has the slightest proof of the Bible. A notorious book with talking animals and Hebrew myths. The high ground between three continents is a geopolitically strategic place, Chris. So the Jewish myths became real for all gullible rubes. You are brainwashed weekly and will never doubt your hunch. Cults like Christianity ensure their suckers never check the facts. Cuz the 20 centuries of myths are myths........................................
They with ears to hear, let them hear:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!

Very beautiful Catholic teaching. Absolutely amazing!
Thank you Father Mike!🙏🕊️
Thank you Fr. Mike for your evangelization.
BRAINWASHING WORKS FOR YOU?
Today's homily is a reflection of Father Mike’s current CIAY teaching! Very timely message.
Wow. Thank you God for Covid otherwise I never would have found Fr Mike and his challenging homilies. I have grown so much since I started to follow Fr. Mike and another priest that I discover because of Covid. Covid has been hard but also a blessing for me.
NORMAL PEOPLE TYPE BIBLE CRITICISM ONLINE AND LEARN THE BIBLE IS FICTION AND THE HEBREW MYTHS ARE MYTHS, JAN. HOW EDUCATED ARE YOU?
Covid allowed me to sit at home and write five books.

MINDLESS BRAINWASHING BY PROFESSIONAL CHRISTIAN HUSTLERS IS HIGHLY VALUED BY ALL RUBES. NORMAL PEOPLE TYPE BIBLE CRITICISM ONLINE AND LEARN THE HEBREW MYTHS ARE MYTHS AND THE BIBLE IS FICTION, CUPCAKE. HOW EDUCATED ARE YOU, MORRE?
The homily this week is about the "IN" notion that Jesus often mentioned in which the Father is In Him and He is In the Father and that we could be In with Jesus and the Father as well because God loves us so much.
Thank you Father Mike!
it is really inspiring to listen to you father Mike!
Thank you Father Mike this was an awesome homily I am going to watch this again and take notes and try my best to start asking offering and accepting right now thankyou
Wow! Amazing homily Father Mike! Thank you! 🥰🙏🏼❤️
This is very deep. I will be God's presence on earth.
Hey Fr Mike, I just realized that you are the modern Fulton Sheen!
Thank you, Fr. Mike. This is so good!
Mind blown🌻
Probably I need to sleep 😴
❤️
Thank you for another wonderful homily, Fr Mike. Your homily is so simple, yet it directly comes into my heart. You're in my prayers.
Amen. 🙏
REV 12 Sign:
23-9-2017 + "2023" days = April 8/9 2023(Resurrection day) + "40" days on earth = May 18th Ascension day could that be our Ascension day. I am surprised that only a few youtube channels talk about ascension, while on that day the same thing happened as what will happen to us and therefore to me it is a very plausible day that we will go sky high on that day .....
Went to mass yesterday, but wow, what an explanation. I was puzzled by how to understand the gospel that was read Saturday, this explains it. Thanks. I need to support Ascension!

Hi, I looked on your website but I didn’t see any information about mass dedication… do you have a process for this to request one for departed loved ones??
How do we witness to a friend, young adult,who is Jewish(not by blood or Orthodox)? Any suggestions or books.
Whoa Father Mike, are you wearing a watch on each arm? What is happening here? 😂
I'm confused? 🤔
Ask the Holy Spirit for clarity. Keep asking until He comes to you.
God does the building not us 😊
