    Facing my wife having open heart surgery today, she is weak, 90 days ago our son died in a car accident. This video popped on screen when I opened you tubr

    My only son, my infant son, Memphis died a little more than a day after his birth. I have struggled so intensely with understanding where my Heavenly Father was during my most desperate prayers that day, and in many days since. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for me
  • Just found out at 52 that I don’t have a great life expectancy. I am the sole parent of 3 special needs biological children. I desperately need prayers for our family. Not for me, my children. I don’t have financial means to leave them set. I know that God is listening 🙏🏻May God’s peace be with you all 🙏🏻✝️

    Prayers for that baby who is in heaven and the mother who lost her most precious. God, help everyone who have sufferings of their own

    I lost my mentor a few weeks ago. He became the first father I ever had. And I've been in shambles. I know he is with God. Thank you for this video
  • I am not a Catholic Christian BUT this is the BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE EVER HEARD to the all time hard question of "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?" Thank you so much. I am passing this on!
  • My girlfriend died this morning of epilepsy... I keep on asking WHY?? but no answer...and this popped up on my YouTube🙏
  • @BrightElk
    I really needed this video. I told a close friend years ago that my father was very abusive and she told me it was "God's plan" and I got so mad I actually fell away from my faith for a few years. I am back now and happier than ever. But please never tell someone who went through something awful this!!! It's so flawed. Received some really bad news that shook me today and this video helped me calm down. Your words really bring me peace every day.

    My perfectly healthy baby son has brought me to tears more than I could have ever imagined over the past nine months that my wife and I have been blessed with.  Every time I hear of something tragic happening to a child, specifically a baby, I break down thinking of the helpless son or daughter and the nightmare it was for the father and mother. It makes me want to drop what I am doing, rush to where my wife and son are and hold the little dude and kiss him.
  • My mother went in for a routine hip surgery now she is dealing with a terrible infection that's threatening her life! I feel like my mother's faith is being tested. Mines as well. I lost my dad when i was 17 it was the worst pain i had felt up until that moment. Losing my mother will take my whole heart away. Prayers are needed for my family..
  • @matrixkernel
    My Dad had a stroke, and then we learned a month later that he had late stage cancer. It was such a life changing journey with him to the end.
  • This made more sense to me than most of the arguments I've heard in the past.
  • I'm neither Catholic nor Christian, but Father Mike has something to him that makes me want to keep watching his videos.
  • @cooper2904
    I'm not Catholic (I'm a non denominational Christian) but I just wanna say you speak the truth. I've watched several of your vids and am kinda obsessed now, haha
  • @Zrezianr
    It’s so easy to say this and hear about this. But the hardest part is to actually living in that bad situation
  • This is a thoroughly good man and an excellent priest. Thank you for being a model of what a Catholic priest ought to be
  • @brad.m7800
    I’m here after Kobe died, it’s really tough Rest in Paradise legend 🙏🏾🙏🏾 This video helped a lot
  • @QueenB0044
    Why am I crying... this channel is absolutely beautiful... everyone needs to watch at least one of his videos and just listen..... thank you for sharing the words of God. God bless you and everyone who sees this
