  • Yesterday my wife and I were in Lourdes celebrating our 25th anniversary of marriage. It was overcrowded of people praying... This is the best response. Devil knows he is losing... We know God will win! Best regards from Catalan Republic!

    I am sickened by this hatred of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. I am praying for these lost souls. Thank you Fr. O'Conner for covering this.
  • Here's our chance for peaceful protest!!! Boycott watching Olympics, boycott the sponsors!
  • @RyngksaiAlbinus
    What a thought -provoking homily! Thank you Father for your bold and straight - forward words.God always be with you.

    I am a protestant in northern ireland and I have to say I think you speak a great word. What they did in Paris was disgusting and degrading
  • Thank you, Father, for helping me remember that Jesus told us to pray for our enemies. I was outraged about the blasphemy of the Last Supper. Then I remembered that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. They need our prayers for they know not what they do. You are a powerful preacher!

    If I was participating in Olympics I would leave. God will bless you.

    Thank you for speaking out. Iโ€™m so saddened where our world is. Itโ€™s out of control. Our poor Jesus. He is still being spit on. God bless you Fr Mike.
  • @jmk5674
    Thank you, Fr. This homily should be given in every parish. I am sickened for the souls that do such evil. Tremendous need of prayer, adoration and prayers for the enemies.
  • Fr. Mike, after 75+ years on this planet, I can say that when I saw the blasphemy at the beautiful Olympics, my heart was broken. Thank you for telling us to say โ€œyes!โ€ Yes to faith, yes to charity, yes to hope and yes to Jesus. As twisted as this act is, we can not go to anger because then they (whomever they/them may be) WIN. We all know Jesus and goodness will WIN. Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
