Father Mike Schmitz

And Jesus' preoccupation of wanting to glorify the Father and do the Father's will, that can be our preoccupation as well.

Everything we do in the name of Jesus and the power of the Spirit is done for the glory of God the Father.

It's just what an incredible way to live.

That holy indifference of saying, God, whatever it is you want, I want.

Let it be done unto me according to your will.

But that goes against our nature.

It goes against our brokenness.

And so we need to pray.

We need God's grace to help us persevere.

As St.

Paul says, work out your salvation in fear and trembling.

Knowing we can lose our salvation, work out your salvation in fear and trembling.

So we pray for each other.

And I'm praying for you.

Please pray for me.

My name is Father Mike.

I cannot wait to see you tomorrow.

God bless.
