The Encyclopedia of War proves that only seven percent of wars
throughout recorded history were religious wars, yet religion—and
especially Christianity—is still often blamed for causing more
calamities than any of the ideologies, political regimes, and tyrants
that have tainted human history. This video from Fr. Mike Schmitz
challenges the claim that religious fervor inevitably leads to violence
or hatred, and explains how the all-too-common religion scapegoat only
covers up a deeper problem that hits much closer to home.<br />

<br />
In this week’s video from Fr. Mike, he discusses why confessing the same
sins over and over isn’t entirely a bad thing. He also offers some ways
we can make our confessions more effective in helping us avoid those
same sins in the future. The practice of naming, confessing, and
renouncing our sins in Jesus’ name before, during, or after confession
is one suggestion Fr. Mike shares. He also encourages us to move past
simply wanting forgiveness and into having true repentance so we can
experience deep conversion and freedom. <br />

<br />
It's easy to think of courage as something we only need when facing our
greatest fears, but in this video Fr. Mike explains how courage is
necessary to live out every virtue. He shows how cowardice can seem
harmless in the ways it sneaks into our thoughts, and shares words from
great saints who commissioned the faithful to practice fortitude in our
everyday lives.<br />

<br />
We often consider all stress to be bad for us, but in this video Fr.
Mike makes the case for stress—eustress, that is, or the kind that
compels us to take action. He illustrates how a life without stress can
easily become lethargic, lifeless, and even dangerous to one's health.
So hopefully this video will give you the boost you need to tackle that
next daunting task by helping you not stress about being stressed.

If we put on a mask when we come to God in prayer, how can he love that
fake version of us? In this week’s video from Fr. Mike, he challenges
you to come before God as your true and genuine self. The love you will
encounter by doing this one simple act, no matter how vulnerable it may
make you feel, will be astounding.<br />

One of the most common Bible verses people use to try and debunk
Catholic teaching is Matthew 23:9, where Jesus says, “Call no man on
earth father.” In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz guides us through the New
Testament to give us the context and significance of this teaching. By
the end of this video, you will see that Christ’s words here have much
deeper meaning than what many people would believeAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-7545945608777801502018-06-16T05:00:00.000-07:002018-06-16T05:00:07.808-07:00Can a Catholic Marry a Non-Catholic?<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGd4lefcsBE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Father Mike answers one of the most common questions he receives,
pointing out that Catholics marrying non-Catholics is not an issue of
sin but an issue of wisdom. Since marriage is naturally so difficult, he
argues, the wise decision would be to marry someone who is on the same
page with you when it comes to your faith. The reasons for this are
endless, and Father Mike is passionate about all of them. The most
important thing to remember, though, is that loving Jesus and the
Catholic Church is not an imposition, so don't be afraid to make your
faith the cornerstone of your marriage.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-87264098679953201712018-06-14T05:00:00.000-07:002018-06-14T05:00:08.470-07:00How to be a Good Disciple of Christ<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fis29rZ2n_4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The term "discipleship" has been a buzz word for a while (like 2000
years at least!), but especially in recent years. In this video, Fr.
Mike gives four basics for being a disciple of Christ. If you're looking
for a challenge, try what Fr. Mike suggests here. They're simple tips,
but they're not that easy.<br />

Alcohol can certainly help us to live in the moment, grow in friendship,
and simply enjoy life more, but when we drink too much we distort the
goodness of alcohol. The Bible always condemns drunkenness, and in this
video Fr. Mike points out why. In doing so, he also shows how to really
enjoy a drink with friends or family, and enjoying a drink the right way
is much better than getting drunk.

God never ignores us, but sometimes we simply can’t hear him due to all
of the distractions in our life. That’s why Fr. Mike Schmitz feels it’s
necessary for people to become more comfortable with silence, because
silence is God’s first language, and it is in silence that we will best
hear him.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-47691037930090255482018-06-09T03:30:00.000-07:002018-06-09T03:30:09.708-07:00Bishop Barron on Stephen Colbert and Providence<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/38greleOBYM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-25114680880727517672018-06-07T03:30:00.000-07:002018-06-07T03:30:02.026-07:00Pope held sick baby, what happened next is amazing<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9hjqMYuYS4w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-15028160135153804132018-06-05T03:30:00.000-07:002018-06-05T03:30:00.808-07:00Little boy steals the show from the Pope<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lesxS8B8FTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-4917894186424043612018-06-03T03:30:00.000-07:002018-06-03T03:30:03.826-07:00The largest Catholic parish in America<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CVo-jzvfndQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-50430290074141175292018-06-01T03:30:00.000-07:002018-06-01T03:30:13.390-07:00When 11 Children Stood Before This Judge, The Words He Spoke Changed Their Lives Forever<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qOpyBHG7d44?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-87777684806370965382018-05-30T03:30:00.000-07:002018-05-30T03:30:04.016-07:003 Questions to Ask to Prevent Gossiping<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rmz0HazdXes?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-6835689905324770792018-05-28T03:30:00.000-07:002018-05-28T03:30:09.294-07:00Fight for your Family and God will fight for you<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jH4aGhre_yw?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223421661093026721.post-84833922071405767802018-05-26T03:30:00.000-07:002018-05-26T03:30:02.708-07:00Marriage - When times are tough<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xhtAi9C4qQQ?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11606103686430401401noreply@blogger.com0
