Thank you Fr. Mike for teaching us, LOVE your amazing homily on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!!! It's such a PRIVILEGE to attend Mass!!! Praying for all priests, thanks be to God for your service to the Church!!! 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
I am a convert of 42 years. I have been Catholic for more years than not! Fr. Mike, you have deepened my understanding of our beautiful faith in such a profound way. Thank you. May our Father bless and keep you close to Him, protected and continually sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Amen
From Pagosa Springs, CO. I listen to your homilies so often. Found you during our Covid lock down. Thank you from an old lady that wishes she were a college student again.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 We need to hear a breakdown/elaboration like this over & over again at our parishes, so that praying the Mass is no longer about just going through the motions. Thank you for educating us Fr. "What a gift" 🙏🏾🤗
Wow, Father Mike, you have, once again, left me speechless with your homily. Strange how we grew up knowing the meaning of the mass, but we all need a reminder of its true meaning, once in a while and you have done it perfectly. Thank you for bringing the true meaning for attending Mass to our attention. I will definitely see and worship at Mass with more devotion after listening to you. You are awesome. I will keep you and other priests in my prayers.
You can see his energy the whole time.. it’s beautiful every time.. we allll look like that when we fall in Love with God and talk about it.. go look at you while you think or speak about God.. God is that Beauty..
Father Mike i am so glad you are coming to the catholic men's rally in West Palm beach Diocese in January! When I heard you where speaking, I couldn't purchase a ticket fast enough! I'm glad half the ticket price is going to you Newman building construction. You are doing a great thing in Duluth!
Wow! I have been a Catholic all my life and I thought I have always worshipped but I realize I have missed so much. Thanks for this beautiful homily. May God bless you and guide you always.
Father Mike, I listen to your homilies often and this one was one of the most powerful one! I’m definitely sharing this with others. Thank you so much for reawakening our purpose and participation in mass. God’s blessings on you. 🙏🏽❤️
Father Mike this was so powerful for me Thank you for this homily we are so fortunate to have you in our lives preaching and explaining the word of God.
Thank you father! I truly enjoy listening to your Masses. You definitely have a talent to convey God's message. I listen to Mass with you before I take my family to mass. My you and your crew always be blessed. I will keep pray for you and your crew as well.
My grandmother use to say”my dear little one, I went to mass today and put you on the alter”. I never really knew what she was talking about. Thank you Father Mike you are a blessing to so many of us ignorant cradle Catholics
Thank you for this excellent homily! It is thought provoking and rich in meaning, especially with regard to the structure and origins of the Mass. We rarely hear the Mass so well described. You gave us so much to think about and process! Thank you!
An incredibly profound homily guided by the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Father Mike for educating us on the beauty, significance, and fullness of the Holy Mass that most cradle Catholics including myself take for granted. FOLKS, LET'S MAKE THIS VIDEO GO VIRAL! See you in the Eucharist!
Lord I thank you, for always being there for me and caring for me . Guide my steps lord direct and lead me, have your way Lord. Thank you Lord for the peace you have given to my heart. 🙏
I plan on sharing this 6 week series with my loved ones who have fallen away. I pray that the Holy Spirit opens their hearts & minds to hear about the power of the Mass and the Eucharist, and how they are made to worship. Amen 🙏🏻 Thank you Fr. Mike
And THAT is the type of thing you’re called to do. Many “family” members of the world let their family die in the traps of the devil. God bless you, your family, me, and everyone, we need it. Edit: Bring all you can home to the Catholic Church.
Wow, thank you for revealing the mass to us in such a beautiful way! So meaningful, encouraging, illuminating, and enriching. I will never pray the mass the same again! Thank you for your words. God Bless ❤
I cannot go to Mass so am grateful for your sending out your prayers and Masses on my smartphone. I am not disabled but where I am will not let me leave premises and come back in.
THIS was absolutely amazing! I’m sharing with all my family. Just remarkable how everything was explained so clearly in one homily. Thank you dear Lord for Father Schmitz 🙏🏻
I pray for you and Bishop Barron who may be a Cardinal by now. God bless you every day! I pray for Father Mike who does so much good for the understanding of the Eucharist. This is needed so much, not just for those contemplating becoming a Catholic, but for those that do attend and need the refreshing reminder. Thank you and may God be with you every moment of your life. Amen
Amén. One of our dear holy Priest says that to us all the time. See you in the Eucharist. Every time I receive Jesus I think of Fr. John a very special dear Priest and feel so close to him as I know that he’s praying for us and that we are all united in that moment with Jesus and own another. 🙏🏼
@@pasalasagaEvery motion, movement, and gesture in the liturgy is external but they convey the faith that is internal. When the priest places his hands over the gifts, he truly believes the Holy Spirit is coming down and therefore, his gesture is efficacious, it truly makes the Holy Spirit to come down. The same happens when we bow to the name of Jesus. If we just bow without thinking, it is just a physical movement. But if we bow because we truly believe His name deserves the honor and respect of a King, then our bow is efficacious.
You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says: Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have brought to you for consecration, He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and chalice together, saying: that they may become the Body and + Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, He joins his hands. at whose command we celebrate these mysteries. In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires. For on the night he was betrayed He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues: he himself took bread, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying: He bows slightly. TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration. After this, he continues: In a similar way, when supper was ended, He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues: he took the chalice, and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying: He bows slightly. TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration. Then he says: The mystery of faith. And the people continue, acclaiming: We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. Or: When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again. Or: Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free. Then the Priest, with hands extended, says: Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice. Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself, grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and Blood of your Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may become one body, one spirit in Christ. May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect, especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs (with Saint N.: the Saint of the day or Patron Saint) and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help. May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim Church on earth, with your servant Francis our Pope and N. our Bishop, [and his assistant Bishops] the Order of Bishops, all the clergy, and the entire people you have gained for your own. Listen graciously to the prayers of this family, whom you have summoned before you: To our departed brothers and sisters and to all who were pleasing to you at their passing from this life, give kind admittance to your kingdom. There we hope to enjoy for ever the fullness of your glory He joins his hands. through Christ our Lord, through whom you bestow on the world all that is good. Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever. The people acclaim: Amen.
Did you know that there are still Catholic churches that offer the Mass in Latin America? It’s not very common, but it is still possible to attend one.
The desperation in your voice to share your teachings with us reinforces my faith in Jesus ,as the strength of your faith is so genuine and strong that I feel Jesus speaks through you.Thank you.
This is why i follow Father Mike, you can feel the excitement in his mass. Speaking on the scandals is so important. Thank you, PRAISE BE TO GOD, IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE!!!!
Another enlightening and beautiful homily from you, Fr. Mike. God has surely anointed you in a very special way. I was listening to you in amazement. Thank you for walking us through the different parts of the Mass and explaining the significance of each. Praying for you and all priests and religious.
What a Blessing and Gift to be able to attend Mass everyday. Fr. Mike I pray for you, Priest in my Parish and Priest all over the world. Thank you so much.
Absolutely agree and I'm very thankful for the reminder for when I have blips with crises of faith, not Jesus, but the church on earth and let things get to me. I know we are all sinners, "but" I get upset at things like this because of things like that: things like this: silence, refusal to talk about the"hard things" of the times (that is not charitable as it keeps people stuck and not know where to go for help - avoidance is not love) ..things like that: that I am fearless in talking to patients, family, friends, strangers, whoever, about truth so that they are not led to more sin and pain, loneliness and hardships that could be helped, prevented and healed when we are not silence "in fear of offending" (which may more be like, not wanting to be not liked...it's not about the priest. I'm also upset often that there isn't real resources presented to people outside of confession of a sin. Sin is self medication for wounds. The lack of connectivity is what drives people away too. I'm just inviting this as a reminder, to remember why it's understandable. I'm a single, chaste women actively open to marriage and family, serving as a nurse and other roles, and yes we all sin, but with what I know as a Catholic nurse, I can't and wouldn't just go get IVF because I want a baby, or just marry whoever, because I don't want to be alone.......some things are not easy acceptable. Not all sins are equal when we are in positions of leadership. Yes, we are all sinners - no brainer, but for me to teach NFP and chastity, but then just use the excuse that I'm a sinner, oh well, and go have premarital sex or go do IVF. We have to be careful to not be realistic as well. I understand, I do. I just think of those who make excuses vs work on their wounds, sins and instead of making excuses, we get to work on bettering ourselves. I've met way too many gay priests for whom I pray definitely, and talk to them as well but the seminaries have to get better....they HAVE to have better screening and act like they truly want healthy, holy priests.....so yes, the attack on the church - priests! -- is very real, but are we mostly all aware of them, and do better where we can, to ensure we are not la la land for what it is needed to ensure we are doing our best to cooperate with making sure we are protecting our Church. Thank you for your homilies and explanations.
Thank you, father Mike for once again, opening my eyes to the meaning and power of the mass! May God bless you abundantly for all the souls you are saving here on earth 🌍🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Many Catholics including me do not understand the parts of mass..its there because its always been there. This explanations are great to what we believe. We need more of such videos...indepth please
Father Mike and Father Chris Alar and Edward Sri have longer , detail videos on the Mass. They are life changing! Edward Sri has an amazing book, A Biblical Walk Through the Mass. I've read it 3 times and each time I get more from it.
Thank you so much for breaking the parts of the mass when we talk to God and to Jesus! Never knew, Prayers for you Fr Mike❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Fr. Mike for teaching us, LOVE your amazing homily on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!!! It's such a PRIVILEGE to attend Mass!!! Praying for all priests, thanks be to God for your service to the Church!!! 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️

Really excellent very deep, contemplative thoughts on the Divine power of the Mass - the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Deo Gratias
So intense and so meaningful- the thank you father for making it so real for us. You are an apostle
Thank you Father! Powerful meaningful mass! See you in the Eucharist!

@@stephaniegrippo2261 does the 6-week series appear on Ascension under individual podcasts. Thank you!!!!!
@@suzannewhite758 yes, if you’re subscribed to Sundays with Ascension just got to that page to see all of the homilies.
I will see you in the Eucharist!
Wow what an amazing lesson. 🙏
This brought goosebumps to me. Amén
Wow, thank you for revealing the mass to us in such a beautiful way! So meaningful, encouraging, illuminating, and enriching. I will never pray the mass the same again! Thank you for your words. God Bless ❤
Very infirmative homily Father Mike. Thank you for taking it apart like that,so helpful.😊
Thank you Father Mike!
I cannot go to Mass so am grateful for your sending out your prayers and Masses on my smartphone. I am not disabled but where I am will not let me leave premises and come back in.
THIS was absolutely amazing! I’m sharing with all my family. Just remarkable how everything was explained so clearly in one homily. Thank you dear Lord for Father Schmitz 🙏🏻
Jesus loves you and is with you God is for you
Thank you Fr. Mike 🙏 happen to hear your explanation I'm beginner of Catholic faith and believe❤🕎✝️🙏
Oh! 🎉My dear, i do pray for priests. Constantly. They are so precious to us and to God.
Amen. I believe strongly in that.i offered The Gregorian Masses (30) for my husband's uncle.
I pray for you and Bishop Barron who may be a Cardinal by now. God bless you every day!
I pray for Father Mike who does so much good for the understanding of the Eucharist. This is needed so much, not just for those contemplating becoming a Catholic, but for those that do attend and need the refreshing reminder. Thank you and may God be with you every moment of your life. Amen

Im catholic and didnt know this. Thank you
Amen 🙏 praise be to the Most Holy Trinity 🙏
Fr, your dad is a Dr. God has created you to be a spiritual dr...all glory to God..remain blessed 🙌 😇 🙏
Thank you for teaching me that the the mass is so powerful.
Thank you for this explanation!
This is awesome information. We go through the motions and don't actually realize how beautiful the mass really is! 🎉
Wow! This is so deep, and it adds meaning to my whys of list why I should have not missed any mass!
For those wondering, the flash at 12:09 -- "And I want my external to convey that internal" -- it said that on a black screen
What's the meaning of that?
@@pasalasagaEvery motion, movement, and gesture in the liturgy is external but they convey the faith that is internal. When the priest places his hands over the gifts, he truly believes the Holy Spirit is coming down and therefore, his gesture is efficacious, it truly makes the Holy Spirit to come down. The same happens when we bow to the name of Jesus. If we just bow without thinking, it is just a physical movement. But if we bow because we truly believe His name deserves the honor and respect of a King, then our bow is efficacious.
@ I dont know... I have been wondering that too
It is driving me crazy... I keep thinking I'm seeing words.
@@GiovaniBriguente so something like the heart must match the physical body’s action
You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
and all you have created rightly gives you praise,
for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy,
and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,
so that from the rising of the sun to its setting
a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:
Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you:
by the same Spirit graciously make holy
these gifts we have brought to you for consecration,
He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and chalice together, saying:
that they may become the Body and + Blood
of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
He joins his hands.
at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.
In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.
For on the night he was betrayed
He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he himself took bread,
and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration.
After this, he continues:
In a similar way, when supper was ended,
He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he took the chalice,
and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.
Then he says:
The mystery of faith.
And the people continue, acclaiming:
We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
Or:
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.
Or:
Save us, Savior of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:
Therefore, O Lord,
as we celebrate the memorial
of the saving Passion of your Son,
his wondrous Resurrection
and Ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to his second coming,
we offer you in thanksgiving
this holy and living sacrifice.
Look, we pray,
upon the oblation of your Church
and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim
by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself,
grant that we,
who are nourished by the Body and Blood of your Son and filled with his Holy Spirit,
may become one body, one spirit in Christ.
May he make of us
an eternal offering to you,
so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect,
especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs
(with Saint N.: the Saint of the day or Patron Saint)
and with all the Saints,
on whose constant intercession in your presence
we rely for unfailing help.
May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation,
we pray, O Lord,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity
your pilgrim Church on earth,
with your servant Francis our Pope
and N. our Bishop, [and his assistant Bishops]
the Order of Bishops, all the clergy,
and the entire people you have gained for your own.
Listen graciously to the prayers of this family,
whom you have summoned before you:
To our departed brothers and sisters
and to all who were pleasing to you
at their passing from this life,
give kind admittance to your kingdom.
There we hope to enjoy for ever
the fullness of your glory
He joins his hands.
through Christ our Lord,
through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.
Through him, and with him, and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.
The people acclaim:
Amen.
Wonderful explanation. Thank you so much!

This is powerful! This brings back memories of the mass as I would hear this in Latin. Being an altar boy in 60’s. Thank you Fr Mike❤️🙏🏻
Did you know that there are still Catholic churches that offer the Mass in Latin America? It’s not very common, but it is still possible to attend one.
Amen. 🙏
Prayers for all of our beloved priests in the world!
That’s beautiful. “I’ll see you in the Eucharist.” I wish I had that fellowship.
me too, if I'm understanding your comment from my heart, how you wrote it from yours.
The desperation in your voice to share your teachings with us reinforces my faith in Jesus ,as the strength of your faith is so genuine and strong that I feel Jesus speaks through you.Thank you.
You are so right.
Act of Spiritual Holy Communion/ My Spiritual Holy Communion Prayer 🙏
To now know that I can play a role in helping souls get to heaven is bringing me to tears. What an honor in Christ it is to worship in mass.
Wow…that was truly so powerful. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you, father Mike for once again, opening my eyes to the meaning and power of the mass! May God bless you abundantly for all the souls you are saving here on earth 🌍🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Pray for all priests!!
Many Catholics including me do not understand the parts of mass..its there because its always been there. This explanations are great to what we believe. We need more of such videos...indepth please
Father Mike and Father Chris Alar and Edward Sri have longer , detail videos on the Mass. They are life changing! Edward Sri has an amazing book, A Biblical Walk Through the Mass. I've read it 3 times and each time I get more from it.
@@kellysweeney5429I love Fr Chris. I have learned so much about the Bible from him. Brilliant mind.
26:08 there is a song called “see you in the Eucharist” and it is beautiful!
🙏🏼
