What a beautiful homily at the end. 😢God is Good!! I pray that God grant me a True desire to seek His Will in all that I do. That I may only want Him!!
As we finish up on this last chapter of Purification and the Last Judgement, let us offer a prayer for those holy souls that are in Purgatory. We pray for their stony hearts to soften and wait to hear the wonderful words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." as He welcomes them into paradise with Him forever. Amen. 5/23/2023
Oh, my goodnes. This session was so powerful. How can anyone not wish for, work for and strive to see God's JOYFUL Face at the hour of our death. To be without that forever is unbearable.
I started thinking about my death in my mid 30’s, when an unexpected diagnosis of cancer arrived. But it was a blessing in disguise, as it got me on my knees, really seeking God. I am now in my 80’s despite one recurrence and thankful to the mercy of God who has sustained me, all my life. I do think frequently of my not so far away death. But I am calm and looking forward to meeting my Heavenly Father. I hope that I will achieve heaven. I know that He loves me and Intrust in Him. Praise His wonderful Name. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Day 143..! (Having to ‘catch up’ today..!) This week has NOT been my own..! It has been the Lord’s..! I gave it all to Him..! He worked out everything..! Praise You, Lord..! ❤❤❤ I cannot do ANY of this without You and Fr. Mike..! ❤❤❤ Today is my blessing for having gone through the trials of this week..! ❤❤❤ I am so not worthy..! Thank You for what You do for me..! This is so sad. How do we know that we’ve done ENOUGH..!! I CANNOT WAIT to hear you again..! ❤❤❤ I am praying for all of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Please pray for me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless. ❤❤❤ Amen..!
I like when Fr. Mike said to practice to imagine our death on a regular basis. This is an eye opener for me, to focus on the things which is unseen and ask God the final grace of perseverance. Thank you Fr. Mike for the word of wisdom each and everyday!
My brother-in-law was a "devout" atheist all his life. When his heart was failing and he was told he was too weak to be a viable candidate for a transplant, he confided in me that "I've been saying a lot of Hail Marys lately." I only wish he had shared that with his wife and other members of the family who don't share our faith.
All so beautiful! I cried when you told the story about the dying man ! I love when we say the ‘great’ Amen after the Eucharistic prayers ! Think just what happened on the altar, bread and wine transformed into the body and blood of Jesus ! We are truly blessed ! ❤
Thank you, Father, for keeping this relatively short. Today was really good - reminder of importance of persevering, examining our choices daily, our faithfulness.
When The Eucharist is given to me I always say, Amen (I believe). For me It is important to witness to the fact that I place all my faith in the transformative power of God. Yeah we get a new section tomorrow :) Whoo hoooooo! fun
Day 143 is one of the most powerful days so far me. Thank you so much Father Mike for explaining this in detail! God Bless you always Father Mike and CIY Family!!Amen
Fr. Mike, i was in tears this whole podcast. I AM going to "practice my death. I'm heading towards 81, so I'm well aware that the clock is ticking. How many earthly days do I have left to do the Lord's work? Be with me at the hour of ny death. AMEN!!!!
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. 5/23/2023
JESUS CHRIST IS OUR AMEN! Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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. Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word. An Act of Hope Lord God, I hope by your grace for the pardon of all my sins and after life here to gain eternal happiness because you have promised it who are infinitely powerful, faithful, kind and merciful. In this hope I intend to live and die. Amen. God bless you father Mike.😇🙏❤
Father Mike, you have not only taught me so much about our faith and how it works, you have given me the ability and the courage to speak to God as me, in my own voice, : to pray. Your example of heartfelt prayer is so inspiring. Today you taught us something that could well save our souls: to meditate on the moment after our death. Bible in a Year and now CIY have transformed my worship. THANK YOU. God bless you. (A relatively new, 5 year Catholic)

The Hebrew word "Amen" expresses our confidence and total YES to what we professed in the Creed, entrusting ourselves completely to Him, who is the definitive "Amen" - Christ the Lord. Grant me Lord, the grace of final perseverance.🙏 Fr. Mike. Thank you. Pillar 1 has been more than an education of the dogmas - it has been a transformation in my life. Praise God. Amen 🙏
That was very emotional today Father Mike. I worry all the time about my loved ones and that moment and myself but I am praying all the time for everyone
Father Mike, I can't thank you enough for your commitment. You are truly blessed by the Holy Spirit. You explain this book with great humility and truth.

I will forever be grateful to you and to God for guiding me to "press play" Day1 and everyday since. A whole new understanding, appreciation and total awe have opened up for me!! Bless you!! AMEN!!🙏🙏🙏❣
The Stoics have a saying - "Memento Mori" which translated means, Remember one day you will die. A good reflection for everyday. My Dad always said, Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen spoke of our journey thru life, and that when it was over, we will see two faces. One the beautiful, loving face of Jesus, and the other the horrible lying face of satan-and one of these faces will look at us and say "MINE". I pray for the conversion of all-especially those who have left the Holy Catholic Church.✝️🛐
Amen! Thank you Father Mike for this awesome gift of yourself helping me to be closer to our Almighty Father, His Son, the Holy Spirit and the gift of my Roman Catholic faith! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🌹
