- 📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: tinyurl.com/yg...
Fr. Mike highlights the reality of sin and our capacity to choose hell as we read about Jesus' teachings on temptations, divorce, and wealth. Jesus' teachings can be challenging, but following him is the path to true holiness. Today we read Mark 9-10 and Psalm 29.
We hear every day from our community how The Bible in a Year helps to capture hearts and souls for Christ. While we’re happy to make it free to our audience, it’s not free to create! It takes a significant investment to produce the podcast and distribute it free-of-cost to the public.

Please pray for my son christon
Praying for him and for you.
In the course of my life I faced obstacles such as discussed today, things so big, I could not see past them, they seemed a 1000 foot high wall I could not climb. All I could do is sit at the base of the wall and weep, but I just kept sitting there at the base of the immovable trusting God. God is bigger than that giant wall. He is more powerful than any complication. It may take time. It may take patience and it will mean laying yourself out in submission to Christ and God's plans for you, but he will show you his wonders he is the God who saves us. I know what it is to stand in front of the immovable thing and God has always, kept his promises to see me through to the other side; he will do the same for you. Hold on and hang in there. Christ is our rescue.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad I came across your comment. May God bless and keep you and your family/friends! ❤
June 6, 2024 Thursday. Here I am. 👍
I’m here in 2024-Sharon
06JUN2024. Day 158. O Lord, my God, give us a Spirit of clarity, confidence and courage. Amen
“He has not given up on you” I needed to hear that. It had me in instant tears. Thank you Father Mike. 🙏🏼💖
Yes, this word is so encouraging. Let's keep going!
I'm here 27th June 2024 greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, deciding, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand God's voice in the Scriptures that we may revere & treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.
Thank you, and prayers for this community and Fr. Mike.
Thank you, Lord, for not giving up on me😢

Day 158..who's here doing this in 2024?
Second time around. Love it even more this time❤
Here I am.
This is my 3rd year reading the BIY and 2nd year reading CIY and loving every single day and still learning and hearing things I did not remember or hear before. I am 70 years old and so GRATEFUL 🙏 that I can do this every day. Love Fr.Mike so much and I do pray for him and everyone doing these podcasts. God Bless You and everyone 🙏 ❤
I plan to alternate each year. so back to CIY next year, etc. Until it is all etched upon my heart
It's been 3 years since this was uploaded.
I am following diligently I make time from Australia
Thank you Father. Your words are very comforting. Please pray for my daughter Alison who has lost her faith and wants to marry a man who is an atheist and clearly wants no part of God.
Wow, the end was intense. Time to get down on my knees and ask God - what, how, and will you help me.❤ Praying for us all.
I m doing the BIY with Fr Mike with a group of friends. It's amazing today I m on 158. Praise God for this gift 😊
When I click on and hear the music that starts the episode it gives a smile on my face!! 🙏🙏🙏 So blessed to have found biay !!! Prayers for everyone sharing on the wonderful journey. Thank you Father Mike. In love learning the word of Our wonderful Father. Holy Trinity.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
God’s mercy was upon me in the incredible opportunity for annulment. Annulment because of the lack of sacrament in my first marriage. The catharsis I experienced…the metanoia brought me to my knees and then raised me up again. And then the Lord provided to me the man who He had chosen from the beginning of time. I was affirmed in this because as I discussed this with my spiritual director, the priest who had walked me through this annulment - he even paid for it because as a single mom of three little ones I had nothing- I discovered that this man was my priests cousins. Only God.
Beautiful story - it gives me hope! Many blesssings to you, Jeanette!
I am here! God Bless you Father Mike ❤❤❤
I was once watching one of those "soldiers coming home" videos on the internet and I saw this young boy at the mall and when he saw his dad he started arguing with himself and couldn't believe what he was seeing because his dad had told him that he was away and right then it dawned on me what Jesus means when he says unless you have the faith of a child you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. That boy had never been tricked by his dad before and to watch the change take place in him was also sad but God used it to teach me a lesson on believing everything that Jesus has said and to believe it like a child believes their parents on everything that they say.
Please pray for me. Today’s reading in St. Mark touched me very personally.
Thank you Father Mike🙏
Wow. Such beautiful insight and words at the end Father Mike! “God will never call us to do anything that He doesn’t also provide us with the grace and the strength to actually do.” Wow! And, the comments about us not being disqualified from God’s love- incredible! I’m going through a difficult breakup right now and this episode is just what I needed to hear. Your prayer today was right on point with what I was experiencing Father Mike! Thank you Fr., Ascension Presents, and all who help make these videos for this episode and for what you do.
Love you Father Mike. G*d Bless you always. Day 158 of two years of Bible in a Year. Thank you. Yep, it was my Joy and is my Joy and Honor to listen to this course for a second time. And I'll do it next year too! 523 days of Bible Study!! Woot woot!
You and father Chris from Devine mercy are amazing 💯🙏💯🙏💯🙏☘️🌹I went back to the Church…. God bless
Fr. Mike and Fr. Chris, what a blessing to us all.
Thank you Father Mike for sharing the Bible with all of us. It is a true blessing to understand the Bible. It helps to bring us closer to our God. Praying for Father Mike and everyone who are in need of prayers.
Another "Wow!" day, Father Mike. Thank you.
Thank you Father Mike, for that beautiful prayer. It touched me greatly.
James and John wanted to be at Jesus's right and left side. On Good Friday, two thieves got that "honor". Sometimes it's better not to get what you ask for.
How I keep praying, begging God to cast out the mute and dead spirit from my son! His severe non verbal autism, epilepsy, it never seems to improve, only worsen no matter what help we get him. How i long forJesus’s return, for an end to my sons suffering and mine that I can not fix him. He needs healing, as does my broken spirit
8-7-2024 praise God
Thank you Fr. Mike!!! I really needed that message today. You have no idea.
Just a recommendation for the BIY companion that goes with our Bible daily readings. I didn’t have it for the first volume ( there are 3 Volumes in all), it makes a terrific difference in following Father Mike and getting the most out of the readings and reflection. Currently I’m also doing the CIY, This is the first year of this study, maybe Father and Ascension press will publish a companion book for that as well. Just a note, I do not work for Ascension Press, I’m just a very grateful participant. As Father would say! I can’t wait to study and be with all of you tomorrow📖
Thank you dear God for not giving up on me. 😔
its so good to be here on day 158 with this community. Today was especially moving for me. It’s refreshingly clear to hear “remove what causes you to sin” even if it is an extreme life change.
Hi Mike! ❤
Amen 🙏.
Carrying Dawn M's mantle please pray for the holy souls in purgatory, they need our prayers.
Consider listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year on the Marian Press Podcast. Each day's reading is just about 7 minutes long. So worth it.

God bless you, Fr. Mike!
Thank you so much!
How grateful and fortunate we all are because of your vocation.
Great sermon again today! ❤
God bless you Fr. Mike..
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey 🙏
I am present but miss a few days
Lord, You are good and you are God. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. May we always take the reality of sin in our lives seriously and reflect on what is hindering us from who you want us to be. Show us the true desires of our hearts. Conform our desires to you own. Soften our hearts so that we can love like you love. Increase our faith so that the power of your Holy Spirit can refine us and help us minister to others. 🙏🏻
May the Lord give strength to his people !
May the Lord bless his people with peace !
Thank you and God Bless you Father Mike. Praying for you all who follow you on this Journey...
Fr Mike’s Prayer really touched my heart here. It particularly spoke to me.
I definitely pray for more clarity. I pray that the Holy Spirit teaches me how to pray in a way that is pleasing God. Amen.
Day 158: April 30, 2022. ✅
Thank you
I'm here too!. Bonny
AMEN 🙏. 🙏. AMEN 🙏.
May God be praised. And may you all remember he loves all of us more than we'll ever realize. Keep God in your hearts
Incredible
" Whatever is causing you to sin, get rid of it, and do it a now ! "
I am blessed by Bible study. The Bible is God's love. Amen
LEdwards from Sydney praise the Lord my second time bless u Fr Mark n the team
Having begun this Bible in a Year during Lent, we are listening to this segment on the Feast of the Transfiguration. Jesus is who he says he is. All glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
❤thanks for this utube
DaY 158
Amen
Amazing. So relevant.
Thank You Lord For All The Blessings Amen JMJ
People always get this wrong when Jesus said pick up Cross and follow me! They think its to do with thing’s that come to us illness or pain or discomfort etc. No Jesus said PICK UP YOUR CROSS meaning YOU choose something like doing without a favourite tv program or something you really like to eat and do without etc. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
I really pray that the staff of Ascension presents will edit all of 365 days of Father Mike Schmitz ' podcasts. So far there have only been 150 edited. That's less than half. On days Father doesn't have a podcast, I end up interpreting the reading for myself. I wonder if my interpretation is correct.
Thank you father mike for sharing God Bless
Help make me holy💯🙏💯🙏💯🙏
🙏🏽
Moses and Elijah also represent the two types of believers. Moses died and obviously as he is here has been resurrected. Elijah did not die but was raptured. On the last day Moses = those of us who have died in Christ will be raised, Elijah = those who are still alive and will be raptured.
You showed a great comparison that makes a lot of sense. ❤🙏
@@dianefrank3688 Thank you, I had an office conversation with another Christian at work today about the end times, although we both differed on how it will look, I am not sure what the Catholic stance on it is, but maybe by the time we hit revelation, it is bound to come up! have a good day.
@@elizabethhunter4525 I am sure it will be explained thoroughly. I hope your day is good also.
🙂
🙏🏻
Day 157 - 6/7/22

JESUS is the son of GOD. John 14:6 JESUS says,no man comes to the father but by me!
Genesis 1:26 states,let US make man in OUR image,after OUR likeness.Father and son,got it! Mark 9:42 states that whoever causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for him to have a millstone around his neck and thrown into the sea.
Day 158- 6/7/22
Save all hear my call God don’t let one ☝️ slip or fall help us stand tall 💯🙏💯🙏💯🙏☘️☘️💪🩸🇺🇸💪☝️
I’m grandma was from Lebanon
v10 :34 "they will mock him, and spit upon him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again." Can you please explain why if Jesus knew he would resurrect that he needed to go through the scourging, crowning with thorns, passion, crucifixion and burial?
Hello, I hope I can clarify!
Jesus needed to go through His Passion and Death because without His sacrifice, as Jesus was both God and man, mankind would never have been redeemed from sin. As the only man without sin, and the obedient Son of God, Jesus offered Himself freely to the Father to make up for all our sins. He also redeemed mankind, gave His disciples an example to follow for when they faced persecution and death, and demonstrated through His Resurrection that even death would have no final hold on them if the disciples followed Jesus.
This teaching on death was demonstrated during the Transfiguration, when Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus. They were both holy men that had lived and died believing in God, and so were meant to be in Heaven.
I hope this clarifies at least a little 🤷♀️
@@catherinebracy4332 Thank you
Might it be something to do with fulfilling prophecy: Isaiah 53:5. ....by his wounds we are healed...?
@@louiselimb6164 Oh, definitely that too! By taking all the suffering we deserved upon himself, Jesus restored the value of our own suffering so we could help him build the Kingdom on earth.
Father Mike, I recently come back to catholic Faith and I believe in the Holy Trinity, but I'm confused about who I pray to. I keep feeling as if the Heavenly Father and Jesus are separate. Please clarify. Also I enjoy doing BIY with you, Thank you Father Mike.
Wear your brown scapular
Where does that leave people who are divorced or in second marriages?
Don't worry. You just have to live as brother and sister. God bless ❤🙏🏻

How did they know it was Elijah and Moses?
28:52
What about annulment given by the church. Does this mean those that have been given an annulment will never go to heaven.
Jesus said, “What you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.” The Church thoroughly examines the couple, their early life, their wedding day, their married life, and determine if a valid sacrament took place. Each spouse is allowed four witnesses to answer questions, as well. This is an in-depth study, and an annulment is not guaranteed just because you seek one.
I’m a addicted so I know
I had a wife once that caused me to sin, so I got rid of her, and the Church granted an annulment. Ha Ha.
Thanks be to God❤❤❤ prayers Father Mike Amen 🙏
Thank you Father Mike
Powerful messages today! Thank you Fr. Mike. The Transfiguration, healing of the mute boy, healing blind Bartimeus, His teaching on sin, marriage, children, wealth, serving, etc. Action & teaching packed day.
Jesus showed the Transfiguration to give Peter, James, & John strength after Jesus’ death. They would eventually see that His passion & death was voluntary, that He had the power to prevent His pain & suffering, but He didn’t. After the resurrection & ascension they had to have contemplated what this meant & why.
I’m praying for you, please pray for me.🙏❤️
I enjoy reading your summaries. 🥰🙏
@@dianefrank3688 Thank you 😊🤗🙏❤️
🙏❤️
Amen 🙏
Unbelievable Prayer Father Mike, I had to do a triple take on this prayer Father Mike! It really bears repeating, " Father in heaven we give you praise and we bless you and you bless us and you give us, you keep giving us to us. And so we give you praise and we know that you are the one who's blessed. Lord God in the gospel you often ask, " What is it you wish for? What is it that you want?" And if I don't know what I want, if I don't know what I want, if I don't know what it is that I wish for, if I don't know what is the deep desire of my heart, then I don't know how to answer this question. And so Lord God, before I even can even ask what i wish for, I ask that you please give us all a spirit of clarity. A spirit of actually knowing what it is that our longs for knowing. What it is that we really truly desire, because our hearts are a cloud of misjudgment. Our hearts, hearts are clouded by a number of contradictory desires and so Lord God... But I don't know what my hearts wants half the time, and so I ask you that you please, before I can give you an answer of what it is that you want me to do for you, I need to know what it is. I need to receive a pure heart from you, a pure heart that see not just other people well, but also see what it is that is in the depth of my heart. God I want to approach you always with clarity. I want to always approach you with confidence and with courage, and so i ask that you please send into my heart and into the of all those who are praying with me now that spirit of clarity of confidence and courage. In Jesus name we pray, Amen WOW this took longer for me to type than I thought, I wish I took typing class in high school. Thank you, Father Mike, and thank you Father Joe Glab for introducing BIY to me. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
Be all way be done God will non our, all time human beings it's confused & not knowing what is the best for us.God help me to understand your will.Amen 🙏🏼🕊
Amazing prayer. Praying for Fr. Mike and everyone on this journey with God!

WOW! "Where do I need to repent?"
Great reflection!
Thank you Father Mike. I'm praying for you. Praying for all of you.

Round Two
Please pray for Souls in Purgatory. Go ahead, just take about 30 seconds to help save a soul that maybe is your family member or friend! Go forth and help save! Here is the prayer:
(According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory.)
The Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
God would reply to St. Gertrude that He would use whatever was offered to Him for the faithful departed, according to His inclination to show pardon & mercy.
Amen. I believe, please help me in my disbelief.
Thank you father Mike.. praying for you and everyone watching this.. God bless ! ❤️🙏🏻
