"I don't... think... I'm prideful...?"
Great! If you examine your actions and intentions and you don't detect any obvious pride, that's a wonderful thing.

The Symptoms of Vanity (and the Surprising Cure)
The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast
02/15/24 • 5 min
"Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!" Okay maybe not everything, but probably more than you thought.
Vanity isn't just looking the mirror too much (although it could be). Vanity isn't just too much plastic surgery (although it could be). Vanity is "the inordinate preoccupation with what other people think."
Fr. Mike suggests we look at our lives a little more closely with this new definition—and to look at Jesus for the solution.

The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast

How to Bring Order to Your Life
The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast

When you clean and organize a room, you have to ask one very important question first: what is this room for? Once you can answer that, everything begins falling into place.
In order to direct and order your own life, you must ask that same question. What is your life for? What is the primary purpose of the one life you've been given?
Fr. Mike proposes that, when you can answer that question, everything in your life will begin falling into place for you. And he might even take a crack at answering that question for you.

Would It Just Be Easier Not to Be Christian?
The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast
08/25/23 • 10 min
What if no one ever told you about Jesus?
Your life probably wouldn't have so many rules. You wouldn't be as guilty for any sins you commit (you wouldn't even know they were sins in the first place). You wouldn't need to evangelize.
And you wouldn't know that the God of the universe—your creator—loves you with a burning passion that you can't even imagine.
Today, Fr. Mike makes the case that it is better to know Christ. It is better to live in the truth. And it is better to take on the challenge of Christian discipleship.
