The Body + Easter Sunday (Fr. Mike's Homily) #eastersunday

At 64 years of age...born into and still residing in the Catholic Church 12 years of Catholic school, 4 years of a Master's program in pastoral counseling at Loyola, how many books have I read on saints and our faith, how many Masses have I attended and homilies heard?! I have NEVER heard this before. It is a HOMILY OF HOPE, so powerful that if everyone could hear this, explained that our humanness will never disappear, only be perfected, who would not turn to Christ? I want to show this to everyone, especially those who are deeply suffering physically, fearing death, rather than seeing it as a "passing on". I am lifted up in spirit today to a new height! Thank you and may God continue to bless you in your ministry.

Thank you Father Mike. I am in this process to conversion and I usually loathe my body, I am a woman in my late 30s. I now know that it's the devil who wants me to hate it, he knows it's my weakness and knows how to play games in my mind. I am 100% sure that Jesus talked to me through you in this video to understand the importance of the flesh and soul and how I need to start loving my body and helping it to follow my number one and most beloved prototype: Jesus! Thank you!

As a 73 year old lapsed Catholic, my interest got snagged first on Father Schmitz's tatoo video. His energetic speech delivery almost seemed frenetic. Then I spotted the Easter video and took a peak. Never have I heard a priest so buoyed up with belief ,enthusiasm and desire to spread the message as if there is not time enough in the world to reach everyone but die trying. Never when going to church have I ever had Christ's Resurrection explained in terms of our own body. May God grant Father Mike a long and fruitful life spreading the Gospel.

Happy Easter to all. Thank you Fr Mike, please pray for me, my son, his wife and my husband , we will pray for you. God Bless you all

I got Confirmed last night at Easter Vigil and THE JOY IS UNIMAGINABLE 🎉❤🪻💐🐑✝️ I don't have words besides Thank You Jesus, Mary I love You with all my heart! An unforgettable experience!

When you think you have heard it all. Wow! Thank you Father Mike. This homily goes beyond anything I would have expected to hear and learn. Amazing! Happy Easter.

Happy Easter to all of my brother and sister believers, special prayers for you, Father Mike, I love you so much, thank you for all you do for us 🙏😍🙏😍🙏😍🙏😍

I wish everyone a blessed, happy Easter. HE HAS RISEN!!!!

Fr. Mike, how do you do it? The Lord has certainly Graced you with many gifts! I have ADHD and usually take Adderall that I can attend to life better. I did not take it this morning as I have off work today, but who needs Adderall when your attention, your focus, your gifts pull me in. Wow! Thank you. I can almost cry.

Thanks be to God for all that he has done, is doing, and will do for us! None of it is deserved and he showers us with mercy and grace and prepares a place for us. Glory and praise to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!!!

“…my mom’s not a heretic.” 😂😂 Happy Easter!

Father Mike! Happy Easter! Just wanted to Thank You for Bible in a Year, it’s day 270 today for me. I can not believe that on day 268 you talked about Good Friday and it was Really Good Friday on that day. ✝️ what r the odds❤

Thank you Father Mike for a wonderful Easter message. I love to think about heaven, and since I have a chronic illness with pain all the time, I look forward to being fully healthy in my body. I also love to think about being with Jesus there, and maybe even doing a particular job for him, that He has prepared me for in this life. If this is true Father Mike, then surely He has a special job for you in heaven too, that brings glory to you both! Happy Easter🌄

Truly, He is risen. Hallelujah!!🙌✝️ Happy Easter, everyone!♥️

Have a blessed Easter everyone. Jesus Christ has risen, hallelujah!❤
