Summary

Father Mike Schmitz forgot to say one thing in his video “We’re Not Just Cosmic Accidents” – God loves you. In his previous video Fr. Mike made comments on The Greatest Showman song “This is Me”. To elaborate on his original message, he quotes Pope Benedict XVI, saying, “Until I am accepted and loved by another, I cannot accept and love myself. But even then the sense is fragile, because all human acceptance is fragile. Ultimately, we need a sense of being accepted unconditionally. Only if God accepts me and I have become convinced of this, do I know definitely it is good that I exist.”

As Romans Chapter 5 states, “God proved his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

0:41.3	I still maintain this very important thing is that yes, the bearded lady is worth loving.
0:48.9	This is so important.
0:50.1	She's worth loving but my issue was why is she worth loving?
0:54.0	It's because she's been made in the image and likeness of God himself.
0:57.3	This is the most important thing on our own, just the collection of molecules, not
