In a deeply moving video featured in our latest web post, Father Mike Schmitz captivates audiences with his talk from the SEEK 2024 conference, aimed at college students. Addressing a packed room, Father Schmitz passionately explores the profound ways in which Jesus has relentlessly pursued our hearts. With tears and a voice cracking with emotion, he describes how, despite all the distances Jesus has bridged to reach us, there remains one vital step that we must undertake ourselves: giving Him permission to love us “as we are.” This poignant message not only underscores the theme of divine pursuit and human response but also invites viewers into a deeper, more personal engagement with their faith.
