Give the first fruits and gather the fragments.
We are given two commands in this weekend's readings: to give the first fruits and gather the fragments. Our temptation, however, is to do the opposite; to give the fragments and gather the first fruits. In order to have a heart like Christ, we must become givers.

Father mike literally completely changed the way i look at the mass and jesus

Fr.Mike...A valuable homily. You are the best.

Father Mike, today was the first time I watched your Mass online and I have to tell you that during the Consecration, and I am not sure what it means but know that it appeared very spiritual, I saw a huge pastel rose-colored light behind you, almost as if someone was present behind you. The feeling came over me then that you are being protected and that love was all around you from whomever was standing behind you. I have never seen anything like this before. You are truly blessed. 🙏
-
Excellent sermon. Makes you think about your priorities in this life. Thank you!
-
Really practical homily on stewardship. So many applicable tips that can truly make us givers like Jesus ❤
-

Amen.🙏

Loved This Homily. I'm currently reading Mark from the New Testament, and recently came across the chapter the speaks about the left overs and at how surprised they were at how much actually was leftover. when we Give Threw Christ Yeshua it truly it multiplied ten fold! thinking back to times in my life the moments I felt truly fulfilled were days that I spent in Prayer, and giving of my time to others, and reading Scripture daily. when we are selfish with our Time, Talents, and Gifts we are left feeling empty and cold. thank you Father Mike for your thoughtful words.

God bless you, father Mike. It’s so sad to see the Olympic ceremony opening up the way they did. It’s a sad day for the people who are doing something like this. It’s a sad day for people that believe in this God bless you, father thank you

We agree on pizza. And, I'll take any crust you don't want if we ever eat pizza together--not likely, but now you know.
-
Hey father mike!
-
❤❤❤
-
I'm scandalized by the crust revelation
-
Please pray for my family and me Fr🙏
-
I LOVE PIZZA AND I ALWAYS LEAVE THE CRUST 😂

We believe it would be more understandable if more examples were given. The message was not too clear for us. What is an example of the fragments left over at the end of the day?
