My youth minister told me recently about a priest in Minnesota who gave incredible homilies and posted them online. It took me a few weeks to buy in, but I'm grateful I did. One homily in particular spoke to me -- and to my friends -- about the need for obedience. Obedience is a forgotten attribute. Today, who do you know that talks about being obedient? It's a lost art. Fr. Mike Schmitz helped me rediscover the need for obedience in the Catholic lifestyle. Not my will, but God's will. Like Westley in The Princess Bride, I am learning to say, "As you wish." Give it a listen.
All of Fr. Mike Schmitz's homilies are available online here. He works at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Fr. Mike, if you ever read this, thank you for your witness to God's love. It's making a difference.
