Father Mike said, “If no one told you today that they love you, let me tell you: I love you, and no matter what mess you’re in, you’re always held and loved by God.”

Saint Mychal Judge, pray for us.

mike,

So maybe you have an ounce of humility in you after all. Or perhaps you just don’t have the right hero, just as Janette mentioned. If I can make a suggestion--the only true Hero for us is the One who taught us not to judge one another. His very earth given name is close to Hero, but means salvation in Hebrew. He is definitely my Hero and sounds like he was Father Mychal’s and Jeanette’s as well… we can all not only be saved, but also learn to be heros through Him with Him and by Him

To Ms Santiago, how can someone watch these various videos and then attack a commentor who applauds the goodness of the message. You speak of your humilty yet your message carries only bitterness, perhaps jealousy, regarding something perhaps you have yet to find.

We should lift ourselves higher on our own, not climb on the back of the deficiencies of others. “If you don’t have something nice to say, keep quiet.”
