Fr. Mike Schmitz: Are You Too Busy to Let God Love You?

Описание: This video features a talk by our Father, curated, purposefully selected and shared for faith, education, and reflection.

This preach is basically about you being loved in your brokenness — and learning to slow down enough to “behold” Jesus (really look at Him) and also to let yourself be “held” by Him. 🫶✝️

🌿 The core message (in plain words)

You belong. You matter. Even if you feel like “I don’t fit in / I’m not holy enough.” 🙏❤️

We’re all beautiful… but broken 🌸💔 (Genesis: God calls creation “good/beautiful,” but sin brings shame + hiding).

After the fall, love becomes costly: in a broken world, love always involves sacrifice 🕊️💪

And the wild part: loving us costs God something — the Cross. ✝️🩸

“Behold the Man” (Ecce Homo): God’s glory shows in Jesus’ wounded face — because that’s what love looks like. 👑😔

The problem isn’t only sin — it’s also a life that’s too full and too rushed to love 🏃‍♂️⏳

If we’re always hurried, we can’t love people well… and we don’t make space for God.

The invitation is twofold:

Behold Jesus (slow down and truly look at Him) 👀✨

Be held by Jesus (stop hiding in shame; let Him see you) 🤲❤️

Otherwise we live like orphans, even though we have a Father. 🧒➡️👨‍👧‍👦

💔 Powerful examples he uses

His mom’s cancer: not “why me?” but “why not me?” → living with purpose and love. 🙏🩺

Genesis: God’s voice isn’t rage — it’s heartbreak: “Who told you you were naked?” 😢🌿

Leather garments: something dies → love costs. 🐑🧥

Fr. Ben: suffering, strokes, still burning with love for Jesus and priesthood. 🏃‍♂️➡️🦽🔥

“Nightbirde” (Jane): deep suffering + hope → choosing to keep knocking on God’s door. 🎶🌙✨

🌟 One-line takeaway

Slow down, look at Jesus, and let Him hold you—because you’re still beautiful, even when you’re broken. 🫶✝️🌿
