Jesus did not rise from the dead to merely prove a point. He rose so that all could be RESTORED. Everything we give to Him...everything we allow Him to take...all of it can be RESTORED. #Easter HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=4KcNB9… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=v0Yxa6…

At the end of Christ's life, He clings to no defenses. He has poured it all out, and all is taken. All that is left is the Man Himself. At the end of our lives, we will only be left with our heart. HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=WMEybC… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=y5gNvC…

Throughout Lent, we keep Christ crucified before our eyes as a reminder. Fr. Mike challenges us to answer honestly: Do I want to be associated with Jesus, even if it means suffering? Our hope is that the answer becomes “yes,” day after day. youtu.be/YmrIT7sVY-k?si…

Why did Judas betray Jesus? #HolyThursday

At the end of Lent, we realize that we have been called to give. To give our time and attention to God in prayer. To give up things in fasting. To give help to those in need. Jesus gives at the Last Supper. He gives EVERYTHING. youtube.com/watch?v=4LX23i…

Some great stories tell us an important piece of information: where are they now? In our autobiography, after we have experienced "the return"; after we have experienced grace, how do WE live? HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=o9fE-Y… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=NyflVJ…

What you seek shapes what you see. Look for hope. Look for joy. Look for goodness. The things you train your eyes to notice will shape the person you become. At the end of the story, who will you be? HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=M_UsbS… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=cSCP-3…

Will only Catholics go to Heaven? Fr. Mike explores the doctrine, "Outside the Church there is no salvation," to help us understand God's plan for redemption and His intention to save all, both Catholic and non-Catholic. youtu.be/UMFFBrptJv0?si…

From the middle, you can't see the end. Third Sunday of Lent with Fr. Mike Schmitz. HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=Tk5xUP… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=Nbajno…

Our lives are so full of noise, distractions, constant activity. But we weren’t made to be filled with these things. Fr. Mike reminds us that fasting isn’t just about food. It’s about emptying ourselves so God can fill us. youtu.be/a3G_BpBFIUg?si…

Every story has a title. Does one moment define the whole thing? Or is there a larger event that can define your life? HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=n3B-Ez… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=PpHMc-…

We often focus our Lent on discipline, willpower, and perfection. But the goal isn’t perfection, it's union. Fr. Mike shares that the most powerful thing he ever did for Lent wasn’t adding more prayers, books, or practices, it was choosing silence. youtu.be/nnzeTObG13s?si…

As we begin Lent, we are faced with the question: If I live the next 25 years of my life the way I've lived the past seven days, where will I end up? Who will I become? HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=YuDDaS… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=ZPw8PU…

When someone gets chosen instead of you, how should you respond? Fr. Mike reminds us that God has a unique plan for each and every one of us. Instead of giving in to jealousy or self-pity, remember this: everyone has their own story. youtu.be/qiS_s-riaCg?si…

Jesus didn't give us a new weight to carry, but a new way to carry the weight. HOMILY: youtu.be/KrgfGNNJjuk?si… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=JmY0Mt…

Fr. Mike warns us of the lies of the devil and encourages us to go to confession when we sin. Don't get discouraged, but have the humility to confess your sins hoping that Christ can transform you! If in weakness you sin, in freedom, claim the Lord. youtu.be/YPgiInx-ZO4?si…

To have been given all that you need...and then to NOT use it would be a TRAGEDY. We are surrounded by the tragedy of wasted potential. But this doesn't have to be the end of our story. HOMILY: youtube.com/watch?v=6z-Nuy… FULL MASS: youtube.com/watch?v=pDAVCl…

Fr. Mike reflects on the story of the man healed on the Sabbath. More than Jesus performing the miracle, what this story shows is that sometimes we fail to value the suffering of others, or even the joy of others, because they don’t matter enough to us. youtu.be/Sx1_eysucI4?si…
