Thank you father in heaven. How many times you were there for me when I needed you. I always seek your guidance. Bless my 36 year old son. May he see your light and follow in your path. Fr Mike great homily. Really hits home.
Prayers for my beautiful Katie’s birthday today .. the most precious daughter .. prayers for my dear son and husband . Prayers for all the people in California .. for all those fighting the fires .. dear god give them the strength hope and faith that they need ..
This touched my heart today and brought me to tears. When you talked about God’s love for us and how he wanted us in this world. I needed to hear that. God bless you Fr Mike.
Thank you!!! Our Lord so often send a messages that I must and need to hear through you, Father Schmitz. May God continue to bless you and your parish. I greatly rely on this online Mass. Thank you again!!!
Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for giving the gift of music to your human creatures. Thank you for all those gifted to write and share praise songs that bring joy to our hearts. We want you to be pleased with our praise as we listen and sing "joyful songs" to show our love for you and our heartfelt thanks to you for all you do and the blessings you have lavished upon us. In Jesus' name, we thank and praise you. Amen.
This week I read that st Catherine of Siena discerned that God was an artist who designed each individual with great care. Your homily reinforced that concept by saying God loves me personally. Thank you for opening my mind to this reality.
Fr. Mike, Once in a moment of frustration I believe, I prayed and asked God, “Why did you create me?” His incredible answer, deep in my soul came, “I was so overcome by Love I had to.” That beautiful response brought me to tears and I realized that is the Truth for each one of us. That seemed to fit right in with your homily today.
Thank You, Father, for today's Holy Mass. Listening while working as a LEO. Heavenly Father, thank You for Your ocean of Love and Mercy You show to everyone of us. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
I surrender all to God and espicially ask the Hols Spirit to guide me in my areas of need now and always. Thank you God. Blessed Mother, and all the Saints .
Thank you so much for this Father Mike. I have pregnancy sickness (praise God for entrusting this child to me), but it made it impossible for me to attend Mass this morning. I’m so glad to have been able to at least attend virtually. God Bless 🙏🏻❤️🕊️
Our God indeed is a covenant keeping God. Has he said a thing and not perform it? I watch how things unfold in my life, from penury to $400,000every three months and I can only praise him and trust him more. Hallelujah🙌🏻❤️
It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Bless you fr. Mike, i reallyneeded to hear your homily today as i constantly struggle with believing that God loves me Just the way i am. Physically disabled and i feal restricted in luving my best christion life. I always yearn to do more to seseeve His love, but now uv reassured me that i do not have to earn his live. He has already cĺaimed ne as his own. Your ministry is a great blessing to people like myself. May gid and his blessed Mother continue to bless your work in duluth and on-line. Loce and greetings from dublin, Irwland
Awesome homily. Beautiful mass. Thank you, Fr Mike. God bless you. Have a wonderful week. Thank you for a meaningful Christmas and Advent season with your masses and Face-to-Face. It helped me experience Christmas like never before. I feel like I finally understand the meaning of Christmas. I am so grateful to you.
True. God loves us and we must believe that! Jesus cleans us, loves us as we are, and loves us enough to help us to improve and not sin again. At the lowest, He is with us. We are already loved. Thank you, Fr. Mike, Pew Crew, Team Ascension
Praise God and thank you father for this virtual mass. I’m currently in a hospital bed battling a debilitating illness so being able to participate in mass in the midst of my suffering brings me great consolation and spiritual comfort. May I ask for your prayers for healing over my body and health? I would be extremely grateful. God bless you all 🙏
Hello, Father Mike Schmitz and Front Pew Crew. Getting ready to renew the lease on the place that I rent. Things are financially tight, but survive-able. I joined a parish in my community, finally, and now my next task is trying to get used to the Mass times that are offered; I'm hoping to do some volunteer service at Mass and in the various parish ministries. I'm very grateful for Ascension Presents. I will probably always go to Mass online, because when I was in Kiwanis Survival Skills, my Spiritual Directors told me to at least go online so that I don't become a lapsed Catholic. I actually did go to Israel. We did eat those Magnum ice cream bars! They are yummy. I also found out that hummus is good for you and has less sodium and calories, if you want to have something more on the healthy side for a snack or lunch. Thank you!
Greetings Father Mike, Key Thoughts :- -> Feast of Baptism of Our Lord reflect with, "The Spiritual Contemplation of Lord Jesus Christ Lives with us in every moment of Our Life in all aspects." -> Good Homily Father. Thanks Virtual Front Pew. Thanks Team Ascension. With regards, Ranjith Joseph (R.J)
To make you feel better, the bacteria or virus has to be present. Some researchers did a test in a public area of the university and the cleaning crew kept it clean enough nothing grew in the petri dish.
I'm always going to be the way I am a holy original version of what God made me! not changing for anyone. as William Wallace said.... " God makes men what they are."
IM A FRONT PEW MEMBER, WE COMMENTED BACK AND FORTH ONCE, I NEED TO TALK FATHER, 3 DEATHS, HOMELESSNESS COMING SOON, ALL BAD HERE, WOULD LOVE TO TALK IF U HAVE TIME, EITHER WAY MAY GOD BLESS U, 🙌 🙏 😊 ❤I DEPEND ON THE FRONT PEW, I WISH U DID DAILY MASS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your comment, I’ve recommended Fr Mike regularly to others we all struggle to understand the speed of Fathers speech. Why would RUclips ruin his message with speed? 🙏🏻 🇨🇦
Hello brother, Pause the video and click the gear icon at the top right of the screen. You will see all the settings. Click “Speed” and select normal 1X. I hope this helps God bless you ✝️
I understand that you say that God loves me because He created me. Where I get hung up, is understanding that he also loves and created really evil people in this world. Serial killers, etc. God loves me as much as he loves a serial killer? Do you see why I find this confusing?
As a parent, if my child became a serial killer, I would still love him/her and pray for a conversion. We have a whole life to change our ways,,,,We are rewarded with either a good afterlife or a not so good afterlife. The Ten Commandments lays it all out for us. He gave us Free Will, and we choose our reward…..I must say I think in the last minutes of one’s life they are sorry for their sins and the Father will handle it justly.❤️🙏🏽
This is all very wishy-washy from Fr Insipid. The bible shows us that God is angry and heartless, most of us will be tortured in Hell forever no matter how hard we try to do everything we are suposed to as for some it has been made impossible.
Praying for you roman labrador. If you really think the bible Says that yhen I recommend the Bible on a year podcast. Listen to it for the intention of knowing God's heart. God bless you
I’ll be honest, I wondered if God was angry and punished us too at one point. I was baptized catholic and began to question as a teen and young adult when my life took on some profound darkness. I questioned everything. Fast forward a few decades, and I was still questioning so I thought well maybe I should learn about the Bible before I write it off completely. So I did Fr Mike’s Bible in a Year podcast (it’s on Ascension on YT or anywhere u get podcasts if ur curious about it). I honestly thought I’d be listening to challenge and question it as a bunch of nonsense. But instead I found my questions answered. So whether you too might want to listen to challenge it or because you want it to challenge you, it might be worth a listen. If not, that’s ok too. If it’s ok with you, I’d like to pray for you that you know Gods love someday. I know when I realized God loves me for the first time I was a sobbing mess and then filled with graces I never even knew were possible. I went to confession and my priest asked me to do a month of saying thanks to God everyday. I ended up having several amazing things happen that month that I was struggling with and completely stuck on. Family members were healed of addiction, a family member started being open to faith not by anyone’s suggestion but my silent prayer for it, and I had $100k debt wiped out and won $100 in something I didn’t even enter but someone saw me and gave it to me. I realize this sounds like a weird ad for Jesus haha. Trust me, it’s not. I’m still shocked any of that happened bc I didn’t really ask for it. I just prayed for help and to accept Gods will whatever it might be and I was given those graces even more than I could have even imagined. Honestly, I’m not sure I had enough faith to even ask for those big things bc I didn’t think it was possible. I also felt very weird about talking to people about my faith. So I’m definitely not trying to push you to do anything or change your beliefs. I just know how you feel and I know I was one way and now I’m another. I’m at more peace now if that makes sense. I hope for your peace, happiness, and that you know you are loved too. Thank you for sharing your perspective. You helped me today find the words to express mine too.
Thank you for this beautiful Mass for those of us cannot attend Mass in person. I went to the wrong church in our parish this morning, so I missed my opportunity to attend Mass. This was my opportunity to participate in Holy Mass today.🩷
Thank you father in heaven. How many times you were there for me when I needed you. I always seek your guidance. Bless my 36 year old son. May he see your light and follow in your path. Fr Mike great homily. Really hits home.
Dear Lord, thru the intercession of Fr. Mike, may my sister, Leticia’s condition be cleared and not require surgery. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
God bless you Father Mike.
Prayers for my beautiful Katie’s birthday today .. the most precious daughter .. prayers for my dear son and husband . Prayers for all the people in California .. for all those fighting the fires .. dear god give them the strength hope and faith that they need ..
Thank you so much, Father.
I wasn't able to attend church in person today, but thanks to you father I attend here online with you and received the blood and body of Christ.
Thank you Father and Team for this beautiful mass. May God bless you.
This touched my heart today and brought me to tears. When you talked about God’s love for us and how he wanted us in this world. I needed to hear that. God bless you Fr Mike.
Thank you for your faithfulness Fr. Mike. Thank you for believing in God's love for you at a deep enough level that you are here for us.
Thank you father Mike always for the mass.

I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. Thank you once again Fr Mike for giving my spirit what it needed to hear! ❤
I offer this mass and my prayers for those in Los Angeles and all responders. 🙏
This week I read that st Catherine of Siena discerned that God was an artist who designed each individual with great care. Your homily reinforced that concept by saying God loves me personally. Thank you for opening my mind to this reality.
Such a great homily, thank you! ❤️
Thank you Fr. Mike, I needed to hear just that " Jesus loves me just the way I am "
Good morning father Mike may the Good Lord Bless you Amen 🙏♥️
Thank you Father!
Wonderful homily, Fr. Mike. Thank you from Europe!
Thank you from Missouri 🙏🏻
Fr. Mike,
Once in a moment of frustration I believe, I prayed and asked God, “Why did you create me?” His incredible answer, deep in my soul came, “I was so overcome by Love I had to.” That beautiful response brought me to tears and I realized that is the Truth for each one of us.

God Almighty has a mission for Everyone of us. God Bless you.

Our God indeed is a covenant keeping God. Has he said a thing and not perform it? I watch how things unfold in my life, from penury to $400,000every three months and I can only praise him and trust him more. Hallelujah🙌🏻❤️
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
That's a major turn around. Praise be to Jesus our Lord. Hallelujah
It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Mrs Mildred Evelyn rooney

As I listened to today's homely, I was cross referring with Sabine Hossenfelder program on can the universe think. Like the mind of God.
Thank you so much!

Great always Father to see new Beard/Hair combination. God has blessed you with anti-baldness for those cold/fridged Nothern Winters! Godspeed.
Thank you Fr Mike!
Thanks!
The daily Eucharist washes the marks of sin from our spiritual garment and makes it clean, free from sin.
Thanks
Thank you!

Praying for you and your needs
Praying that you find the help that you need to get through this awful time. 😢❤️🤗🙏.
I am praying for you now 🙏🏻 ❤️ Please reach out to social services in your area if you can 🤗
Praying for you
My prayers have faith and seek for help.
Do you know the date of your baptism and do you celebrate it and make it just as special as your birthday?
Please pray am in need. X
Why two watches Fr. Mike?
The title in the video needs to be changed; it’s says “Epiphany of the Lord.”
Please next time, post the entire prayer on the screen at the same time. It's easier that way.
Stop RUclips from 2x speed on videos. I can’t understand a word Fr Mike is saying. I just want normal speed!
You have to put 1x speed in the video's settings, it's not set by RUclips. I hope it helps.
Thank you for your comment, I’ve recommended Fr Mike regularly to others we all struggle to understand the speed of Fathers speech. Why would RUclips ruin his message with speed? 🙏🏻 🇨🇦
How do I put 1x speed in video?
Hello brother,
Pause the video and click the gear icon at the top right of the screen. You will see all the settings. Click “Speed” and select normal 1X. I hope this helps
God bless you ✝️
You have to click settings on the video and set play back speed to normal. The settings look like a circular gear image. @jeanschaefer9948

You are wrong. God loves us very much. Satan is lying to you.
@@gracebarnard8056 I've never heard Satan speak, you cannot blame everything on him. I have never seen God's love, he only gives it to his elect.
Praying for you roman labrador.
