- Sunday, 26 May 2013 : Book of Proverbs 8:22-31."The LORD begot me, the first-born of his ways, the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago; From of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains or springs of water; Before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth; While as yet the […]
- Sunday, 26 May 2013 : Psalms 8:4-5.6-7.8-9.When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place— What is man that you should be mindful of him, or the son of man that you should care for him? You have made him little less than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him rule over the works of your hands, putting all things under […]

- Sunday, 26 May 2013 : Letter to the Romans 5:1-5.Brothers and sisters: Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access (by faith) to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven chara […]
This weekend, we had the blessing to experience the kind of homily we had been praying we would hear from the pulpit. It was given by Fr. Michael Voithofer, a very humble, hardworking young priest of the Archdiocese of Omaha. He shared his love for all of us in the Church and what responsibility he felt he had in that love. And then he powerfully took on the contraception issue….wow. It was really, really well done. It wasn’t with a hammer he delivered this witness, but with a loving care for truth. Some got up and left…yup. But this tough message received sustained applause when he finished…wow. It was really quite a remarkable thing to experience… challenge to us all.

God Bless Fr. Michael stepping out and speaking the truth!!
Amen!!!!! That was wonderful! Thank you Fr. Michael for your courageous response to our current situation! And yes, God is using this to draw his church into deeper dependence upon him. I also see that he is using it to awaken some of his Priests…certainly not meaning you however…you have always been a flame for Jesus!!! Miss you! Keep letting your heart speak!
Way to go Fr. Michael for taking the courage and the steps to boldly preach the gospel. I pray that your fellow priests will live the same courage for love of their spiritual children.

Father Michael,
Thank you for speaking the truth with such love and clarity!!!St. Roberts is so blessed to witness such courage.
With all the controversy over the mandate, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach out with the good news of NFP.
It is a simple message: “Natural Family Planning is a healthy and morally acceptable alternative to contraception, is science-based, is 99% effective, and is not, repeat not, the so-called ‘rhythm method.’ And there is no cost. NFP is free!”
Forward the following link to all who you think might benefit from it:

Abundant graces were flowing that day. I heard you “live” at Mass with this homily at the earlier Mass, and for those who were not there and only see this video, I just want to point out that the congregation of a packed church erupted into applause four times during this preaching! The Lord working through you reaches everyone from young to old. My friend’s 4-year old heard you and said “I pray for him.” The teens that I have with me had tears in their eyes as you told them you laid down your life and love them as their dad. My 80-year-old dad attends Mass with me each week because of the poignant homilies and leans over and whispers, “that priest is winning souls for the Kingdom.” We all love you, but most importantly, we love Christ and His Spirit in you. Know that we appreciate your challenge. May we all preach and live with Christ’s love that not one will be lost! I love you very much, and may you continue to let Christ renew His graces that you seek and speak God’s truth.
thanks for such a great sermon. truly i say to you unless you become children in speach you will never be able to attract people to God
