🙏 See below for the Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Beautiful Father Mike!! Twenty nine days!! Wow, that's not asking too much. Please help me Lord Jesus to find you and ask you to reveal yourself to me and to make this Advent season a holy time for me.
🙏
Amen
I Love listening to you Fr. Mike. After a year of searching for a Catholic Parish, I have found 1. Unfortunately, I am Not able to attend my parish,and have food Comfort with You.
I love my Parish, but am very disappointed that they are so into Latin.
When I was younger, this was the only way,since the conversion of the English mass, It seems we understand the mass better. To be honest. I FELT like a robot, and I do Not remember the Latin responses any longer. Is this something we as Catholics are going back to?
Thank you for your reverence and thought ful commentary
@@katherinetherese2736 You are welcome. God bless!
Father Mike, Thank you for speaking on the importance of Advent. Protect my daughters, and let them come to the Lord at Advent. I also accept this 29 day challenge .Amen
Fr Mike is such a great cheerleader! He really wants us to have that special encounter with our Lord. Thank you Fr Mike for your encouragement. God Bless. Claire.
Dear father, Mike, during my prayer time this morning, I asked the Lord to be with me always, and he said to me “just be with me in your prayer time. Be still, let me steal your boat, brush away, distractions, all you need to do is keep coming back to me”and then I heard your sermon and it confirmed what the Lord had told me. Thank you father for your dedication to the one we both love.
Let me stear your boat
This service has helped me more than you know. I couldn’t attend Mass today because I’m recovering from the flu. I’m grateful I was able to watch. I look forward to the next 29 days. God bless you!
Thank you Father Mike ! God Bless you and your mimistery. Amen❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Fr Mike 🌟
First Sunday of Advent is Prophecy Candle.
Purple color represents hope.
Prophet Isaiah foretold the Birth and coming of Jesus Christ.
The Avent Journey:
Hope becomes Peace
Peace becomes Joy
Joy becomes Love
Love becomes Christ.
We should consider the moments spent with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest days of our lives🌻
Hello Father. Thank you. I am in. 🙏 God Bless You Father Mike!
I so wish I could physically go to church to participate in the 29 day challenge. Being homebound at the moment prevents that, but I will pray from home the best I can. Thank you for a wonderful homily Fr. Mike!
There are some beautiful live-streamed Adorations on YT, I'm relying on those on the days when I can't physically get to church because of work. I think God will appreciate the effort.🙏🥰
Wow!!!! This was a fantastic Mass. I’ve been “TOO BUSY” for most of my life. I’m going to do this, with God’s help. I can definitely do 29 minutes of Adoration, even if it is on my lunch break. I need Jesus. Thank you so much, Father Mike and the entire team. You have blessed me.
This guy is the champ well done ufc /religion love it.
Thank you , Fr. Mike and the Ascension staff for this virtual front pew as always! Yet again, I'm attending your mass instead of the local church due to strep this time. I prayed the Lord and He have Mercy on me with the needed antibiotic in time from further suffering.
As busy as anyone here, but it's no excuse for me as I think I may not make the physical visitation to the tabernacle in the local church, but will try my best, even if having to attend the virtual Adoration online. 29min daily with Jesus for 29 days is better than 29min+/daily on various social media apps out there. I pray to God that the devil cannot tempt me with my weak soul while Jesus is with me.
And thank you, Fr. Mike, for that beautiful story of encouragement.
May God bless us and have Mercy on us all. 🙏 ✝️
May Advent be a blessing to you Father Mike and all of us as we prepare for Jesus ‘ coming.
You help me prepare before attending Sunday Mass at my local church. Thank you and God bless you and keep you.
Thank You, Father. I too, am one whom goes to Mass AND watches your Mass, your Homilies are truly beautiful and inspirational. God Bless You.
Beautiful mass Fr Mike!!! I will join in the 29 day challenge. Let’s keep each other in prayer as well. Maybe For those homebound…try to find a livestream of an Adoration Chapel on the internet. God bless you all ❤️✝️
Oh Fr. Mike, I was excited about the challenge until it meant spending 29 minutes sitting/kneeling in church. I actually cried in my prone position knowing I can not do this.
Maybe find an online one?
I’ve been unable to attend mass since before Covid. I would love to be sitting with my Jesus for 29 days. ❤
Challenge accepted Fr. Mike! Thank you for your encouragement! God bless you! Happy Advent season everyone! Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!🙏🙏🙏
Amazing Homily. Thanks Father Mike!
Matthew 23:9
"We can be so busy…so much can happen…we can miss out on life…miss out on the most important thing. Our invitation is to become awake during this advent season and spending time with our God…He is closer than we think."
I do not have words , so great God bless You abundantly
Your homily is a gift for the next 29 days to beg the Lord to show Himself to us and to truly know who we are . I am grateful and excited.
May you have a most Blessed Advent Season, Fr Mike and Front Pew Crew. God Bless. Claire.
God bless Claire! And her husband and 😛
Thank you father Mike, God bless you 🙏
Thank you.
Will be sharing the 29 day 29 mini yet challenge with family and friends and group members. Thank you Father. Pray for us all. we are praying for you and all your students and families. God bless you ! 🙏🏼❤️
Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
29 min for 29 days .
Father Mike thank you for reminding me that Jesus is closer then I think and feel.
God bless you . I can feel your energy and Love .❤ thank you ❤ Merry Christmas
Thank you so much for your passion and love in your words for our Lord Jesus Christ. Very much appreciate it and motivating.🙏
What a powerful message for transformation. Thank you for the challenge Fr. Mike! God bless you always.
GBU Fr Mike Ty for such a beautiful Homily 🕊🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼🕊
Challenge excepted! Jesus has revealed himself to me several times, but I don't feel I know him as closely as I should or could. I feel the dark spirit gets in the way with my Ignatian imagination prayers. I even talked to my spiritual director and a Jesuit priests about it. But this might be better, to just say this simple pray and not practice any other prayer for 29 min a day for 29 days. I do want to get to know Jesus more intimately. I tend to lean on the Father and the Holy Spirit more in prayer. ...Also I to attend mass at me church, but ALSO watch your mass or at least homily. It's extra spiritual food and direction for me. Often I feel God is involved with lessons or guidance I need to hear at that moment. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Fr. Mike. What a wonderful homily. I have already started the 29-day challenge.
I am so grateful for this challenge to dedicate daily time to be with Jesus. Every Advent comes and goes and I feel like Jesus gets lost in the shuffle as I become overwhelmed with trying to do it all. When in reality there can be no better presents then His presence. To sit quietly with Him. So I pray we all encounter Jesus in a meaningful way over the next 29 days and beyond. Thank you Fr. Mike. 🌹🙏❤️
"We can't wait for things to be perfect, to find Him". Things are far from perfect and so I will continue to call out to You, Dear Lord!
Thank you so much Father and the readers for a wonderful mass in HD. Kudos miss Lauren dear.
Thank you Father Mike for all you do for helping us live our lives as good Catholics. A great sermon. I am going to try the challenge as I live a ways from our parish Church. Blessings!!
My father taught me to live in the moment stay in the moment don’t look ahead Don’t look back ..to have continued.. peace …you father Mike continue to teach me all I need to know for life peace …thank you for your all Godbless You and all your family especially your mum Godbless from Ireland
Jesus IS! Be still and connect with Him deeply. He IS ALIVE.
He is in us and we must keep the faith and it is so hard to hang on in horrific circumstances.🙏✝️
PRAY TO GOD FOR WORLD PEACE AND THE RETURN OF CHRIST
and also for the people who are about to die .....because they are ill....and there is no cure.....and for their relatives.....for those who do not trust in God anymore.....
Thank you Father. May God Bless you & Keep you safe.
Revision 2.0: went to our small church chapel and it was packed. (I guess lots of Catholics watch your Sunday service, Fr. Mke! It was crowded and but distracting. So I left and I’m now how to try it here but I’ll keep looking. 29 minutes!
Thank you Father Mike. and the team for a great mass. I will take up the challenge.
Father Mike your words continue to inspire. Thank you….
Oh Lord sent forth your Spirit to renew the face of the Earth - during this advent as we prepare for Christs birth I pray each day for conversion of all in the world- turn to our Savior- speak to our Mother Mary and Father God and bring all souls to heaven to live in paradise 🙏❤️
Im watching this Mass then going in person at 11
Thank You! Have a blessed Advent season!
God bless us all.
Invitation is accepted with love!
For Paula and others who aren’t able to go to church each day and want to participate. This is second best but there is a utube site to use:
Perpetual Adoration live from St Benedict’s , Melbourne
Im not sure Father would approve but it’s a suggestion. Hope this helps.
Bless you father
Greetings Father Mike,
Thanks for the Valuable Sunday Homily which is about the Importance of "Prayers of Vigil" in The Advent Month over a period of 841 minutes - 29 minutes - 29 days..
Conclusive Personal Thoughts :
By Lord Jesus Christ Will, Catholic Bride of My Parents Choice in every sense in every aspects..
Special Mention :
In Sunday,Our Deputy Parish Priest Fr.Anthony Ferdinand emphasize the Importance of Advent and Daily Prayers and highlights The Glamour and Vanity of Modern Cinema in all aspects.
Special Prayers :
Our Local Parish Wish Everyone " A Happy New Year" marking the Beginning of Liturgical Year on occasion of Advent First Sunday..
With regards,
RanjithJoseph (R.J)
I hope Fr you will say ONE God, forever and ever….
Why did they even change that?
Thank you for this mass 🙏
Rich and Poor is not just money. I've seen wealthy people who are broke but it's spiritual.
I'm going to finish college and become a nun.
Happy Advent everyone!
Please put a 29 minute video of Our Lord on RUclips. I am in a rehab facility after having been in the hospital since November 17, 2022.
Bless you ❤️
@@Nyrua Thank you
What a great idea.
@@paulavasko4633 you're welcome
Fr. Mike love your work. However I have a bone to pick with you. Why did you change the formula to 29 minutes for 29 days in front of the blessed sacrament when it was 1 hour in front of the blessed sacrament for 30 days? Is there a reason to change a formula that has worked for others? Also I don’t think I can or maybe a lot of other people can be before the blessed sacrament everyday. I will check surrounding churches but I am not sure the blessed sacrament is available everyday in the churches around here. I will get back to you on that. Thanks for your work!
Please lord God i and can't help ,
Me
Nice suit. 👌 have a nice day
Amen 🙏
Amem! 🙏🏻
I want to come and be close to Jesus.
I cannot drive. I cannot use my arms.
I have no one to take me.
How could I do this?
My dear Nancy, in what part of the world do you live. Am praying that if you share that maybe some one near can help you. God's greatest blessing my friend, Rena
🙏🏻
Amen
❤️
Father Mike, what should I do if there isn't an Adoration Chapel open available every day in my city. I truly really want to do this what you suggested and now I'm sad 😭I thirst!
Father Mike how come that your church doesn't sing songs like my catholic church
I think it’s because RUclips will insert commercials during mass if there is music and singing. This is virtual front pew. I am sure Fr. Mike’s physical church has music and singing
Information:
Jesus wants to get to know us more frequently and more closer to us
The video won’t play…
Not possible to get to a church on a daily basis, our job is 7 hours drive from nearest church- what could be a substitute to take up this challenge?? Praying? Reading the bible? Please help?
Finding an online adoration?
Revelation 17: 4-5
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

Also, thank you ascension, the students, and Father Mike!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🫂
Of all the darkness and demon influence on youtube causing death and destruction, I pray that these people with darkness in their heart oil their lamps these 29 days!
Galatians 3:28. It's an end to each of our individual lives and families and our meaning of a spouse or boyfriend or girlfriends. It's an end to children and to us. Its horrifying.
Deal.
I don't like celebrity clerics
