- In this video, Fr. Mike advises us to dwell in the present and implement into this moment what we learned from the past. He points out that, while it isn't healthy to live in the past, there is also a danger in leaving it behind completely.

"When you look at your past and you live there, you're obsessed with yourself." Dang, that's deep.

Thank you Father Mike! Mother Teresa reminds us that only joy within our heart can fight evil! Thank you Father Mike for having joy within your heart❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lord i needed to hear this! My past lives rent free in my head. No more!
This has really given me the strength and motivation to finish a testimony I am writing for my youth group's camp. I'm talking about repentance but through writing the testimony I speak about my past sins and failure, and I feel so embarrassed and scared about how much I should share and if I am going to share too much. Part of me is still in the past, but part of me wants to move on and continue showing mercy, and is still trying to show mercy. I guess this whole process of writing the testimony allows me to learn and teach others that although God forgives us once we repent with sincerity immediately, that we in turn need to forgive ourselves and move on.
that's exactly right! its so IMPORTANT to share your testimony and it will absolutely be a blessing and encouragement to someone. bless you for sharing Gerry :)
I took wrong paths in my past, New Age, alcoholism etc. However once I returned to the church, things started to improve, hugely once I started saying a daily rosary. I even had 2 dreams that encouraged me to keep saying the rosary. One of which Our Lady came to me in a dream, and in another occasion a holy lady that I was close to appeared to me in a dream encouraging me to keep saying the rosary. My life has changed exponentially since I started a daily rosary, temptations have ceased and life events have been transformed. But it to time, and persistence. God bless all who read this.
This video came just at the right time for me. Thank you Father!!
So glad!
Oh, you have no idea...
Faith's Confusion what's wrong with him, are you receiving messages from God?, if so do you test the spirits? this priest has brought peace to my soul but now I just found your disturbing comment, what's your problem?
Faith's Confusion what's Vatican II? Isn't this guy apart of the Popes Catholic Church?
Faith's Confusion I just googled and it's apart of the Catholic Church.
I love this guy and his message!!
Father Mike, I admire your apostolate and I pray for you! God bless! 🙏😄
Fr. Mike said "Happy Wednesday" ...and indeed, I'm watching this on a Wednesday evening...(this is not coincidence, it's divine)!!
4 years later...just happened to me as well🙏🏼😅
It really happened to me as well! Today, Aug 25 2021... Wednesday... And It's time to move forward and learn from our past. God Bless Us All! ♥️🙏
For Mike, u are seriously adorable. U remind me of Jesus very much. I have listened to numerous evangelists over the last50 yrs, for the most part they are dead boring, you however, have that special “ thing” that sets u apart from everyone else. Even though we’ve never met and probably never will, every single time I see u like every single day, I get a joyful feeling, u know I smile, it’s like looking at one of my children. God bless and keep you. Until tomorrow.....
God bless you Father Mike. Thank God for your sincerity, passion, gentleness, enthusiasm, encouraging nature, wisdom conveyance and pastoral motivation. You are impacting so many people. May the Lord equip you for every good work and energize you with his magnificent power. Our Lord King Jesus loves you!
I love you father feels like when I listen to your videos everyday they bless my day
Thank you, Father for your boldness to know and love Jesus and Mary as intimate as you do and care enough about us to share that truth.
Bible in a year companion directed me to this video… thank you for your words! 🙏🏼
God-centered wisdom. Thank you.
I was told in a moment with God that i needed to live life. After two years, i finally understand it.
Thank you. The Happy Wednesday was God sent. One seventh of a chance and you were spot on.
"Don't live in the past, live in Christ today."
Thank you! This is so relevant right now for me. Just starting the season of lent on Ash Wednesday and your example was very relatable. Keep making these videos!
Fr Mike, you are the genius of our century. Thank you for your answers, for your availability, thank you for speaking to our hearts.
Father Mike, you always say exactly what I need to hear. I don't know how you do it, but you do! God bless you.
I’m not Catholic but I sure enjoy your teachings
I spend time with you daily, Father. Your ministry matters. Thank you.
Thanks father Mike very true what you conveyed to us . i remember reading a book called Blackhawk down . The author recalled a woman who said to him " when dealing with your past look but dont stare" . Its like when one is driving a car how much time do you spend looking into yr rearview mirror comparative to the windscreen . Dia ghuit agus slan go foill ( irish for God bless and bye for now)
That’s encouraging. I was a heavy critic of the catholic church. Even a rude one, sometimes. Now I regret that past. But yes, I can laugh about the fool I was. Good advice! Please pray for me as I try to reconcile with the Holy Church. I need mercy, because I can’t fix the past.
Thank you Fr Mike!
( #AscensionPresents !) Thank you for this video, it really uplifted my heart. I was struggling with a sudden deep depression along with anxiety building up. I felt trapped in my whole body. I pleaded to God to help me to get out of this state of mind, as it's been draining me for the past few days. Many times I was tempted to resort to old destructive coping mechanisms in order to feel a sense of release from this emotional paralysis. Since I know how much God loves me, I was able to not act upon these temptations. Frequently today, after saying a train of Hail Marys, I would feel a period of rest in my heart, but soon again that heaviness would return. I wanted to direct my thoughts more towards the Lord, and watched your video. The minuet u talked about sitting in adoration and Jesus shushing you, a fountain of genuine giggles burst out of me like a dam, and I felt my heart become clean.
I'm not catholic, but hope to be soon, thanks to your videos. I'm still dreaming for the day I finally get to see the Lord in the Eucharist! A part of me is a little terrified hehe. I mean standing before God face to face! *BOOM!* mind blowing!
Thanks to your guidance, I was able to overcome periods of doubts regarding my religious vocation to become a Poor Clare of Perpetual Adoration. Haha if people doubt that God works through people's lives, or the fact that he works miracles, they only need to look at my life. I went from an atheist heavy metal chick to future, cloistered, bride of Christ. Only God can work such a profound change in someone's life.
Thank You for saying yes to your vocation, God Bless!!!
-Amen Lord!
Francis&Fawn God Bless You. I've been there. Then I earnestly sought Our Lord. He cures all, He raises the dead. Also, I recommend the booklet: A Call to Souls: Words of Our Lord from The Way of Divine Love of Sister Josefa Menendez
Sending you love and prayers.
Please pray for my family -- my past struggles with depression and anxiety have hurt them and I pray everyday, every day, for healing the broken parts of me and the restoration of my family to God. Praying for you now wherever you are. Thanks for your post ! Peace in Christ

Oh, my goodness! That hit me where I live! Absolutely what I needed to hear today. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and for cheering me up. And most of all...bringing me closer to Jesus. You're always in my prayers ❤✝️

Great encouragement with a simple and relatable explanation! thanks Mike, Love from England :) :)
Amen. You give the deepest lessons that helped me so much. I thank God for having you present this wonderful wisdom. May He Bless you always.
Happy Wednesday Fr.Mike.
I was so gripped by the past and 100% you cannot move forward from that place...combined with anxiety and depression...it took me many years to come out of this storm. I’m grateful for finding father Mike on Christmas night 2020. Alleluia 🙏💐🕊🕊 2021 is growing and practising my Catholic faith
I never get tired of your goofy stuff. So many Priests in the past have been so serious and this made it hard for me to relate. Thank you for being super REAL and hilarious 😂
This is so wonderful - what a well timed video - so need to laugh at myself - thank you Fr Mike - I only admitted earlier today how seriously I take myself ! Thank you God - you are the funniest - give me some of your humour ! Thank you for Fr Mike and his humour too. :0)
I so needed this message today. Thank you! I was just praying for my next best step- thank you Father. Please include me in your prayers. I’m so appreciative of your ministry.
You know whatimsayin!

Thank you Father for sharing. this was much needed. I'm smothered by my past and this was something I needed to stumble upon 😊
interruptedable interruptedable i
Fr. Mike, I just saw you talk at the Seek Conference in San Antonio. Amazing talk. Thank you so much. I would be honored and humbled to be able to meet you in person. I am working the Augustine Institute booth in the main lobby. if you schedule allows, please stop by. Thank you so much, Father!
am doing the ignoring the past thing. because the past seems to keep showing up in one area of my life. videos are
funny and inspiring I love it.
I so enjoy watching and learning from you, Fr. Mike, teaching us what we need to know and understand bout the Bible and Catholicism. Wow, what a talent!! Happy New Year to you and your family!
I so needed this! Tears of joy. Thank you Father Mike! Philippians 3:13-14 is my daily calling now!
Thank you Father Mike, I really needed to hear this.
How can there be 6 people who don't like this???! Come on!!! Love Father Mike :) such an inspiration for Christians :) Please don't stop Father Mike, you are needed SO much to share God's Word! Woo Hoooo! Lov'in JESUS!!!
Thank you Father ... I always say the Past is the Past for a reason ... it’s gone and we either dwell in it and are self absorbed or we learn from it and are enlightened 😊🙏
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for making it so clear.
Just great to hear it’s so full of grace 🙏🏽
Thank you Father Mike, I really needed to hear this. God bless!
You're right, Padre......you can't move forward . I couldn't, I was stuck, until I was able to forgive not only my violator or myself ... I kept slipping back in my mind until the Catholic Charismatic movement thru faith healing , which I was dragged to by my Mother .
Didn't realize Jesus was with me the whole time I was suffering......Forgiveness in my situation is what it took; not a psychiatrist.
Thank you for all you do for us. You clarifying things so well . Peace
This video really came in the right time. Thank you Father Mike

This was so helpful! Thanks for helping me live in the present!
This video supports our family a lot! We are not Catholic yet; we really love this video.
This really helped me because I often think of people "living in the past" as dwelling on serious wrongdoings. But, as I have a terrible issue with time management and procrastination (which leads me to not have any time for God), I realized this totally applies to me! I have to stop feeling so frustrated at my bad habit because I have repented, now I only have one focus: not to not procrastinate, but to start doing and focus on Him. That probably didn't make sense, but either way, great video!!
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Great fr. Mikey absolutely great fr. Mike!!!! have a happy day to you too!!! :)
nice thank you father Mike.
thank you
Happy Divine Mercy Sunday! (Well, it’s the day after but close enough lol)
So much fun laughing at myself today too whenever realizing I made another silly error to learn from. What is frustrating to some of us is that because of how some people perceive us because of our past and present station in life no matter how much you try to share with them what you have learned in your past on how to do things better you cannot offer that wisdom to them no matter how much you try to.
I love this this was truly what I needed
Beautifully said! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!! :)
This was AWESOME!! I needed the hear that!
This video spoke directly to me just now, in this moment. I literally broke down crying because I know it was meant for me at this moment and it came through. Thank you Fr. Mike for always being an instrument for God to touch many lives.
I have never seen a Catholic Preist that was as fun-loving as you come across. Keep up the good work!
Great video. Watched on a Wednesday evening
