God’s Not Asking You to Be Successful (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

God’s Not Asking You to Be Successful (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

27 Nov, 2025

"God does not ask us to be successful, He asks us to be faithful." - St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Fr. Mike Schmitz reflects on this quote along with the way St. Mother Teresa lived her life. So often we measure our lives by worldly success, however God wants your faithfulness, not your success.

Let us always say, "God let me honor you with my effort."

We have created an environment where you have distanced yourself from the way of the world and have united yourself to the true way of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. “God above all things”!
