How to Question Your Faith Well

I couldn’t believe when you mentioned Archbishop Fulton Sheen because my family was just talking about how we think YOU are the Fulton Sheen of our time!! How cool that he influenced your family and faith so much!! Following along with Bible in the year. Praying for you!

I have a lot of difficulties believing that Our Lord is present in the Eucharist, but I’ll never doubt! Please pray for me, great video as always!

I have faith even when I don't understand, that the answers will be revealed in time as God wills it, and He will give the truth to every question.

Blessing from Poland 😊😊😊

This literally happens to me and this channel is one of my go to whenever I have questions in mind. Thank you for this Fr. Mike and the whole team. You are all a blessing from God <3

I am now in my early sixties and converted to Catholicism 3 years ago. Now I know I have DIFFICULTIES and not doubts! I kind of wish there was an RCIA Part 2, for as I’ve delved deeper into my Catholic Faith, I find I have sooooo many more questions! Thank you, Fathef Mike! (I enjoy watching you. You remind me of my oldest son. 😬)

In fact, this is such an amazing channel to clear doubts

I literally just talked to my confessor about this and he said the same quote! This timing tho

I'm wrestling with some huge existential questions involving human existence, free will, and suffering, and I can't seem to find answers that bring me peace. I've tried asking them and I've met with platitudes or resistance, and now I'm despairing of an answer that clears my heart.

My priest recommended this channel because I had questions, and I’ve been binging your videos recently, I love your videos and how positive you are!

What's amazing is God reveals all wisdom if you simply ask! This has been my experience. Just be prepared to: 1. Wait 😁 2. Have your answer through various media 3. (When there is silence) Look internally; Seek first the kingdom and all these things will be added to you.

This is my favorite thing about Fr. Mike. He is okay with us asking questions about our faith. We need to be able to ask without being condemned or shamed. How else can we better understand?

You are really a grace. Thank you so much Father Mike...watching you from Italy!!

Father Mike, what I love about you, is that you are always preaching the Gospel of the Lord, with JOY… and that comes from your heart ❤️

Name dropping Bishop Sheen... I love it... and so would he....

Again that sensation when the video is ending and you don't want it to end :(

Fr. Mike, I have NO DOUBT: you are such a gift. 😇 Thanks and prayers to you! 🙏

Spent 25 years searching for an answer. Glad I persevered! God is good! You are right Father!

What a blessing you are Fr. Mike, I can't imagine all the lives you have changed for the better.

I will need to listen to this a second time... with less noise around me. Thank you I think, for giving light to a solidity that is I know not just my own presence of self in my Catholic faith. To that, I know when life obstacles or tragedies can" be still "the soul in movement and understanding in one's Catholic will. I had a friend today make a post stating he's not a good Catholic anymore because of the surroundings and tragedy of his wife's death. His wife like myself a strong Catholic woman, a force for all women in her faith and in her life as a Medical Doctor. A mother of six children and taken from the grips of their love. Everyone who has a story that removed them from their once fierce faith has a solid truth that holds them from the Catholic foundation that once gave them breath. Now pierced with questions, and yes doubt. As a cradle Catholic, I have doubts. When I had questions, when I felt my last breath towards my Catholic faith, it was not the church or the priests that held any bit of faith I had left in my will. It was my friends' wife who had already passed. It was her faith still so strong when she had to die at the hands of a system she was a part of that failed her. She is the reason my doubt does not pull at the Catholic roots of my existence. Her faith. Yet her husband a sound man in his own presence of self a once heart surgeon now his life altered and changed as he stays at home to raise his six children. His doubt is obvious and in this I understand. Tragedy to that none of us are exempt, doesn't mean it's natural. There is nothing natural about tragedy. It holds a force that yes is so real to those going through it that indeed it raises question and doubt in one's faith. I can tell you the way I was handled by the church and the priests of did not connect me further or deeper into God's graces and mercy.... yet further away. It was faith alone, one woman's faith that I believed because of her own pain. My faith arises in me in the stillness with the questions and the doubt. Yet along with my friend to that I honour with great respect, I too can say once a fierce Catholic ... it is my doubt and questions that makes me no longer a good Catholic. I take grace in that my faith is still... where it takes me, only God knows, but I know I stand not alone in this truth.
