Thank you, Father Mike, for this message today. I also Thank God for the Gift of Father John in my parish who says we should not dwell on the past, and not to worry about the future, we only have today. Walk with God every day and it will be alright. God WILL rebuild us! You are such a blessing to me and all of us. May God Bless you always! 🙏
How wonderfully helped and blessed we are through these podcasts! I am middle aged, ooops, no, I guess now I’m a senior citizen, and I have never had the privilege of hearing The Word of God, and the Old Testament explained so well and related to us today. What a gift!! 🙏 thank you Father Mike and blessings galore to you!
September 25, 2023 What a blessing that we have this opportunity to listen to the Bible and Catechism in a Year. So much to learn even after listening a second time.
This is my second time through. I previously have read the Bible through at least twice. The first time through with you I picked up so very much more I didn't know. This time through I continue to pick up many things I missed and bring back things I forgot. Gosh this is so helpful I hope it remains available as K hope to continue each year. God bless you.
Day 268 - Tuesday September 24th, 2024. Rebuilding the Temple. Today's readings are Ezra 3-4, Zechariah 1-3, and Proverbs 20:4-7. Thank you so much Father Mike Schmitz 🙏❤💙 God bless you 🙏❤ Deo gratias 🙏❤❤
I am a cradle Catholic who moved from my hometown to Illinois in the 60's. I stayed faithful but the racism I encountered in the Church in Chicago from top to bottom drove me away. I became a practicing Protestant. Cardinal Bernadine whom I met in later years and told why I left embraced me and acknowledged the truth of what I told him. HE apologized and gave me his phone number and wrote to me. Had not been divorced and remarried to a devout protestant I would have returned. The Cardinal by his actions and loved he showed to all reignited my love for the Church. I returned 40 years later as a widow in my new home state ( not Illinois) because if the love, patience, and inspiration of another Priest who reminded me of Bernadine. Thank God for priests like you, Father.
Thank you for sharing. I've heard so many similar wonderful faith-filled stories about Cardinal Bernadine. We lost him now over 27 years ago, and he is still missed. 🕯🕯🕯
Father, may everything that I do this day, whether it be full of joy or pain, whether it be full of love or of grief, I ask that everything I go through today be offered to you just like Jesus offered everything to you. It is in his name we pray. Amen. 9/24/2024
Greetings! Today I have been on this journey for a year. While I still have a few months to go and have fallen behind, I march forward. Thank you Lord, for getting me this far. If anybody else has fallen behind, don't be discouraged! Just keep pressing on toward the goal. Praise God and Jesus, we trust in You!
Having the time periods match up is great. The “weeping” older people called to mind that as we are in “the Winter of our lives” the realization that many of the hopes and dreams have not happened. Some through no fault of us, Some because of poor choices. The weeping can be happiness for the “good times” and the sadness of the “challenging times”. And then we are reminded this is just a teeny tiny time chunk in our existence. The Joy and Dancing will be our eternity because of “One Day”. I hope we can visit with these weeping people and all of these characters
September 25, 2023 Round Two Have you ever considered listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a year and/or EWTN Mother Angelica’s Classics to add to your Catholic learning? Oh my goodness so much life guidance in conjunction with Father Mike’s Bible and Catechism in a Year!
Wow what an eye opener with the present day of how life has changed. Pearl Harbor happened on a Sunday because the enemy knew we'd be involved with worship and not ready to put up a strong defense so that began forsaking the Lord’s day. Then 911 hit and our traveling regulations were more strict. Then the pandemic hit and our everyday hygiene habits changed. We are so far from our former glory that it's like we have a lesser version of our former lives. Our temple is not as glorious as the former. Our nation is less glorious and forever changed. Blessed is the new generation that doesn't realize how great things were back in the day but as the preacher of Ecclesiastes points out we should not dwell on prior days saying how grand they are and not living in the present for it is vanity and vexation of heart.
This Bible in a year podcast is so, so amazing. This is my 3rd year listening and pressing play each day -- I absolutely love it. The story of God's creation, his people with their faults and their weaknesses and God's constant faithfulness just inspires me! Father Mike brings so much clarity to stories that I have always found confusing. Thank you Father Mike for your amazing insights and commentary!
Thank you, Fr. Mike, for doing BIAY. I've read the Bible several times, but with BIAY I have gleaned so much more from it! Thank you, dear Lord, for providing us with Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins, and the entire Ascension team!
I am learning SO MUCH, Fr Mike. My family watched your Masses during the pandemic when all churches were closed, and despite being from Kansas, we "fell in love with you" those years ago! Then when my husband and my daughter, both Catholic school teachers, were encouraged to sign up for Bible in a Year with you last year, they both did, and both loved it. This year, after all my lenten programs were finished, I signed up, starting Easter Monday, but have learned so much that I find I can't stop unless I have a previous engagement. I end up doing 2, 3 or even 4 lessons a day because I'm retired and have just found it so fascinating to finally understand. I'm a convert to Catholicism (age 34) and had tried to read the Bible numerous times, but always got bothered by the "mean" God of the Old Testament and just skipped it and read the "gentler, kinder" God in the New Testament. You've finally helped me understand and appreciate the OT, after 63 years! Thank you so much for BIAY; it has truly changed my life in 3 short months & 269 episodes so far!
Thank you Father Mike for sharing the Bible with all of us. It is a true Blessing for us to read, hear and understand the words of our Lord. Praying for Father Mike and anyone who is in need of prayers.
yes. I concur with others on Fr Mike's great podcast. His explanation of the OLD Testament truly brings the New Testament alive + brings healing to our live. god bless Fr. Mike + all.
Fr. Mike all of the wonderful readings of the Bible have so much to remember that may have to listen to this again because I am not sure if I am going to remember all of these readings. So much to take in. But so wonderful 🙏♥️
Thank you Fr. I am so enjoying your Bible in a year. I have been with you since January 3rd. I have been doing Bible reading for many years but this journey has been so enlightening. Thank you. God bless you always. Writing from Barbados.
I feel like we are in similar times….with the resurgence of the beauty and awe and pure worship of the Latin Mass….worship as God ordained…. Yet perhaps we are not seeing what God is doing in these times….prayers for our Church.
As I scroll through all of the comments of praise to you Father Mike…I prayed for your humility and constant submission to God. This is not about you….this is about your offering your amazing gifts that Gods has given you back to Him. Stay humble. As you said in one of your podcasts… your spiritual director assured you, you are no Thomas Acquinas. I pray for you.
“The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.” Proverbs 21:6 RSV-CI Lies leads to brokenness ….takes time to rebuild… With sorrow and forgiveness…All Things are possible with our Lord❤️🩹
Thank you God for reminder to not be Apathetic- to continually open my heart to you. Thank you Father Mike this is my daily uplift if I Choose to listen with my whole heart, mind, Strength.
I love this podcast and listen to it faithfully everyday. It’s the best thing in my life and gives me joy. I’m praying this podcast will keep continuing because I can’t get enough of hearing God’s words. I pray for you in my daily prayers Fr Mike that God will continue to bless you and your family and fill you with the Holy Spirit as you read the scriptures to the millions of people listening to this podcast and continue to bring thousands of people back to God and our Catholic faith in Jesus name I pray.
Thank you for praying for us and celebrating the Holy Mass. "Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen" My beautiful sweet Jesus, my eternal love, please bless Fr Mike and keep him pure.
I am so thankful for this Bible in a year podcast Father Mike and Ascension Presents and, Jeff have put together. I can not have enough of it. It is so priceless to me. It is really a special gift to be able to listen and read along with it. God bless you for this awesome podcast Father MIke and company.
Who could dislike this podcast? Never! I count on hearing this everyday and I am enjoying what feels like a daily holy trip through my beloved faith. Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension for bringing me this wonderful blessing!🙏🏼
I am so very grateful for this podcast. I only wish I had been able to start on day one! Please continue bringing God’s word to us - and commentary. We desperately need this! May God richly bless your efforts💕
Thank you dear Lord for Fr Mike and everyone involved in this spiritually fruitful Bible reflections. It is nourishment to our souls. Help us dear Lord to avoid the near occasions of sins to be worthy of your love and forgiveness. In your mercy hear our prayers, O Lord. Amen.
September 25, 2023 Round Two In her account of another vision, St. Faustina describes Purgatory as a "great crowd of suffering souls" undergoing purification. Further, she says that the souls are "praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid" (Diary, 20)
That sounded like a beautiful hymn of love. It's a delight listening to you , Fr. Mike! And i want to keep on listening to you also because i like to think as fast as you speak. My head is a lil' bit sluggish! Oh yeah, i'm making progress!
A mixture of truth and life is so easy to have. Thank you father Mike! There’s so much truth and I’m so glad that I can read the Scriptures as fully as I can is it busy graduate student with a lot going on.
Thank you Rev. Fr Mike.....such an apt prayer following the scripture. Many a day I find myself just listening not really absorbing. I pray for the grace to be bathed in His word
Love this podcast! Keep it going. It is so informative. I would never have known God’s words. Thank you. I have tried myself but have never been able to know the backstory or rules, laws and connections.
Me !! I am stuck re living all my past and regretting my actions that hurt people and so hurt me too, But I had no idea how much hurt it actually caused. Hurt that's forever. and feeling so depressed about it all so often. If something happens to me my son has no one.
On the last judgement God will reveal how our actions or sins affected other people. I just found out two years ago that a trick I played on my baby sister, she thought was true and it affected her life negatively. How many other people did I cause hurt to. I am in the same boat as you. I have one son and his wife died 7yrs ago and he is all alone when I die. We have to trust in God to take care of them. 🥰🙏
I need something constantly. (Food, wine, smokes, painkillers) I gave up smoking 26 years ago. But even now I wish🚬🚬. maybe my need something will stop if I get more into God. @@dianefrank3688
@@nellennatea I think that might be one part of a solution. A glass of water and a bible passage. At least I would feel pretty guilty if I ate right after that. I refuse to take pain pills as I have an addictive personality and I know I would be hooked if I started. I just tolerate severe pain and unfortunately eat. 😣🙏🙏🙏
@@dianefrank3688 I could addicted too that's why I try not to have too many. But I hate pain and I have to go for them. But sometimes I take them to cure my emotions. To numb me. I try not to have wine every night so as not to be addicted. I try to wait for the weekend. Doesn't always work. But If I had wine two nights in a row I think to myself that i better not have it for a day or two.
@@nellennatea I have an addictive personality so I can not drink alcohol or drugs. I just have to offer up my pain. I do not work so I can use a heating pad or my massager to loose the muscle pain. I still am addicted to sugar and bread and need to pray and keep trying to stop eating it. 🙏
“…Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 RSV-CI “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 RSV-CI
I am also a yo yo. I make it for three days on a perfect eating plan with lots of water. Then I am offered ice cream and I eat it. I am addicted to food. 😟
@@dianefrank3688 I snacked too much yesterday and my bloods were high. So I didn't eat anything till my lunch time. Till I was hungry, after returning from walking dog. Then my blood levels were fine. Phew.
@@nellennatea I was dog sitting next door where they have all flavors of ice cream and candy. I ate some of each. I was so mad at myself, as I had gone two days without sugar. Oh well, I will keep trying even if I fail like you did I will make up for it somehow.😘🙏🙏🙏
@@dianefrank3688 It twook me a few years of cheating to realise I have to start to change my eating habits being put one medication for diabetes type 2. I have stopped snacking now need to stop snacking in the day. So no more buying what we would binge on. IF I am going to eat the lot then I can't buy it again. We are thinking of going on a diet of no carbs again. We lost a lot of weight before. You feel so much better. But it's very hard to do and when you come off the diet you put on weight again this time we have to work out how to come off the diet onto a diet that allows some but not what will ruin it again. Giving up for lent means you want to do it because then you let God down if you fail and not just yourself. We want to do diet before christmas. Enjoy christmas and then diet through lent.
Without Christ in my life I would be lost but with him, I am found.
Thank you, Father Mike, for this message today. I also Thank God for the Gift of Father John in my parish who says we should not dwell on the past, and not to worry about the future, we only have today.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 RSV-CI
I was going to give everything up and then I woke up and started again. I am a yo yo.
I am also a yo yo. I make it for three days on a perfect eating plan with lots of water. Then I am offered ice cream and I eat it. I am addicted to food. 😟
@@dianefrank3688 I snacked too much yesterday and my bloods were high. So I didn't eat anything till my lunch time. Till I was hungry, after returning from walking dog. Then my blood levels were fine. Phew.
@@nellennatea I was dog sitting next door where they have all flavors of ice cream and candy. I ate some of each. I was so mad at myself, as I had gone two days without sugar. Oh well, I will keep trying even if I fail like you did I will make up for it somehow.😘🙏🙏🙏
@@dianefrank3688 It twook me a few years of cheating to realise I have to start to change my eating habits being put one medication for diabetes type 2. I have stopped snacking now need to stop snacking in the day. So no more buying what we would binge on. IF I am going to eat the lot then I can't buy it again. We are thinking of going on a diet of no carbs again. We lost a lot of weight before. You feel so much better. But it's very hard to do and when you come off the diet you put on weight again this time we have to work out how to come off the diet onto a diet that allows some but not what will ruin it again. Giving up for lent means you want to do it because then you let God down if you fail and not just yourself. We want to do diet before christmas. Enjoy christmas and then diet through lent.
Once I fall off the wagon it is hard to get back on it. I need to keep on a healthy eating plan as my body suffers when I am eating so crazily.😍🙏
