Can too much of a good thing be a bad thing? Absolutely.

This week Fr. Mike Schmitz, chaplain for Newman Catholic Campus Ministry at the University of Minnesota Duluth, as well as the director of the Office of Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Duluth, discusses how to say “no” to temptation and “yes” to freedom.

“Many of us have learned the hard way that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing,”  according to the video description. “In this video, Fr. Mike shows us how to savor life’s delights without losing our ability to enjoy life. He gives palpable examples as he demonstrates how our favorite things — when enjoyed in the right quantity and for the right reasons — can give us more patience, temperance, freedom, and joy.”
