Dear, Almighty GOD 🌟 You are the source of unshakable joy, 🌹even in the midst of trials and challenges. When affliction surrounds me and persecution weighs on my spirit, I come to You for strength and peace.🤍🕊️✨ In my trials and persecution, remind me of Your sufficient grace 🌹and perfect strength. 🌹Fill my heart with joy beyond understanding 🌹 and help me trust in Your purpose.🌹 Strengthen me to endure with patience🌹, respond with kindness,🌹 and let my faith reflect Your goodness.🌹 Let my hope remain anchored in You, 🌹and may Your joy be my strength.🌹 -AMEN🙏 Praying for everyone journeying BIY presently and in future 🙏 Day#346 Date# 11 December 2024.
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. 12/11/2024
December 17, 2023 When the Catechism is complete (or maybe even now), consider 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!
Dear Father Mike, You bring such joy and happiness to all of us as we participate in Bible lessons each day. We are blessed and It gives me comfort when I read the comments and know others feel the same. God bless us all! 🙏
Interesting parallel between those in today's reading who would rather go back to their idols and the desert wanderers with Moses who wanted to go back to their slavery in Egypt. "Don't lose heart"
All of you people watching this please pray for a friend of mine her words exactly “I don't know if non-believer is the right word, I'm not affiliated with any particular religion, I'm probably agnostic right now, I do find value in the psychospiritual, maybe to say I'm questioning is more accurate.”
Good morning, thanks for all you do for us to bring us closer to our heavenly journey, our journey with Christ. Again thank you Praying for you and all religious
Fr. Mike I pray for you please pray for my grandson Logan who was not giving discipline and now is out of control. I pray for the conversion of his mother. I wish she would read or listen to this podcast. I will forward it.
FR.......THANK YOU.......AT 37 YEARS YOUNG.........SCRIPTURE REALLY IS CLICKING......IT REALLY IS. I GET CHOCKED UP EVERYDAY WITH YOU. PRAYING FOR YOU ALL.
Proverbs 29 15 - Correction and discipline are good for children. If they have their own way, they will make their mothers ashamed of them. 16 - When evil people are in power, crime increases. But the righteous will live to see the downfall of such people. 17 - Discipline your children and you can always be proud of them. They will never give you reason to be ashamed. The Good News Bible (TEV). Today's English Version. 📖🕯✝
I’m way behind on this second year of following along in BIY and CIY but today is the 66th anniversary of my baptism and I had to fast forward from day 317 to listen to the BIY on this day- and I’m so blessed to hear these scriptures today - the fruits of the Holy Spirit where we all strive to receive when we follow Jesus. Thank you St Paul for teaching and preaching the truth and reminding me today not to lose heart when I fall. May the Lord bless us and may the Holy Spirit guide us and may our blessed Mother Mary show us how to be humble, how to be a child of God and may St Joseph be the terror of demons to protect us from all that causes us to sin. Happy belated birthday, Fr Mike, a blessed Advent and Christmas to all of you and I will catch up! 😊🙏❤️✝️
Been at this from the beginning, problem I have is as soon as Fr. Mike gets started I go back to my time in the war and think about my Buds who were killed or I go over actions I was involved in that got me or someone else WIA or KIA. Pray for me that I can get over this nightmare.
Not as a therapist, but as a behavioral sciences kind of person, I would suggest that you listen to the readings, write down the memories that that particular reading triggers for you, visit those memories in prayer while saying thank you and asking for forgiveness (if it's appropriate) to the ppl in those memories, then let the memory be transformed into something that heals you. Then restart the day's podcast reading from the top and hear what the Bible is telling you about starting new. Just walk yourself though the memories one by one, talking it out with the people in them, and then letting them go forward as a new memory that teaches you how to forgive yourself and others. That's what the Bible is doing. So, really, you're hand in hand with it and that's why the memories are coming back...to help you.
Paying for you Major Frank. N thank you for all you have done for our country. Remember your only human, please dont be so hard on yourself. I never was in your situation N my heart bleeds that you and other service men and woman was. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖🇺🇸👍. Keep the faith. God loves you, yesterday, today and for ever! 📖💖👍
Thank you for tonight's reading father Mike I'd like to say good night to all and God bless you and I'm praying for all of you and I know you're praying for me too love you all in the name of Jesus Amen
St. Paul's readings get better and better. What a pleasure to learn about his life and all the suffering he endured for love of God. What a great example for all of us. Thank you Father Mike.
Praying for everyone who participates in this BIAY podcast - what a beautiful gift. Please remember the holy souls and most forgotten soul in Purgatory - they need our prayers. 12/12/2022
Thank you Fr Mike. Ave... Immaculate Heart of Mary, Blessed Mother of the Eucharistic Christ, Queen of Virgins, please bless chaste priest Fr Mike and bless his family with heavenly graces.
The passage about fruits of the Spirit is one of many reasons I adore St. Paul. I love it when he called the Galatians fools. He was never afraid to say what had to be said. I try to emulate that. Praying that we can all do so each day! Thank you, Father Mike, you’re the best!💕✝️🙏🏻👍🏻🥰
If you adored St. Paul you’d know it was “fruit of the Spirit”, not “fruits of the Spirit.” “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 It’s akin to someone saying “in the book of revelations,” instead of saying, “in the book of Revelation.”
Oh, WOW..! How lucky am I..? I missed a couple of days, so I’m getting to HEAR YOU not only the once, but THRICE..! YIKES..! I CANNOT WAIT to hear you once more after this..!! ❤️👍🏻 I am praying for you.. PLEASE pray for ME..!! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 Don’t lose heart..!
"If we live in the Spirit, we will have joy , patience, peace, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." Please Lord God, help us to live in the Spirit so we can become more like Jesus!
Thank you Father Mike for sharing the bible with all of us. It is a true blessing to hear and understand the words of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Praying for Father Mike and anyone who is in need of prayers.
It's the self-contol I'm having problems with. I feel so very blessed by God and the Holy Ghost in every aspect of my life, but this one thing, I can't seem to accomplish even through fasting and prayer. I've smoked for 50 years, and I've never encountered anything in my life to date as difficult as quitting. Maybe this is a cross to bear...along with the consequences?
Thank you dear Lord for Fr Mike feeding us your "Fruits of the Spirit" to nourish our soul. Help us dear Lord to make our body as temple of your holy spirit in our daily struggle to avoid the near occasions of sins. Amen. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us. Saint Joseph pray for us. All you Holy Angels and Saints pray for us. Praying for the victims of abortion - babies, moms, dads and those who are involved in aborting innocent infants. Jesus, Mary and Joseph protect and save the unborn. Amen.
Every word from You, Lord, is spoken grace; a blessing for which we will be forever grateful. Veni Sancte Spiritus. 🕯🕯💟 Praying for Jen, Julie, Sue, Fr. Mike & for all who prepare & participate in BIAY. Also, praying for any thumbs down(ers)!! 🤲🏼🕊
Exhortation for spiritual growth…Thank You 🙏🏾 “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love,” Ephesians 3:17
Give us joy in the midst of adversities. Give me joy in the midst of pain. Give me joy in the midst of unknown. F9r I am a sinner who does not walk in YOUR spirit. For all my pains, adversities, I am grateful to YOU.
December 17, 2023 Forgive me for asking you so many times. Do you have just a moment in time to pray for Souls in Purgatory with me? 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: Eternal Father, I offer You 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, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen. 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)
May the Heart of Jesus be loved and adored everywhere..Jesus, Mary and Joseph I love you save souls..eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them, may they rest in peace Amen 🙏
Wonderful encouragement to continue to submit prayers unto ABBA Father…don’t stop …slow down if you must…but keep moving forward along the journey of God’s Will🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
This time last year a friend mentioned to me that a new BIAY program would commence on Jan. 1, 2021. I'm very grateful to Jen M. for sharing her faith! It's been a wonderful 346 days; hard to fathom Day 365 is just around the corner! God surely loves us! ❤
December 12: "When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases; but the righteous will look upon their downfall." Proverbs 29:16 When the leadership of anything is toxic, all that flows out of it is made toxic. Nothing of lasting value can or will thrive because the organization's business model is self-serving. The example set for others to follow is one centered on profit, greed, or domination of others. Instead of focusing inward to create pathways for others to achieve success, traps are laid to keep others from climbing out of their stations in life. This action perpetuates the separation of classes and maintains the toxic status quo. Meanwhile, those who are righteous and do good deeds are left to witness this entire affair. They watch and they wait. They do both until the inevitable happens: the toxicity runs its course, and the class structure is upended. Those in power are only in power because of fear. The tool of fear is not sustainable in management or life. It always reaches a point of zero-sum game. May I take comfort in knowing God is with me and others as we sit, wait, and watch. Good will conquer evil. Amen.
I would pray that after His resurrection there was no pain from his scars, only the pain we cause Him by our sins. Since my surgery (back in 2019) I would not wish the aggravation they have given me on anyone….

If you adored St. Paul you’d know it was “fruit of the Spirit”, not “fruits of the Spirit.”
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23
It’s akin to someone saying “in the book of revelations,” instead of saying, “in the book of Revelation.”

Forgive me for asking you so many times. Do you have just a moment in time to pray for Souls in Purgatory with me?
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:
Eternal Father,
I offer You 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,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.
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)
Yes. I missed you.
May the Heart of Jesus be loved and adored everywhere..Jesus, Mary and Joseph I love you save souls..eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them, may they rest in peace Amen 🙏
Love how you explain at the end…so helpful…thank you.

December 12: "When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases; but the righteous will look upon their downfall."
Proverbs 29:16
When the leadership of anything is toxic, all that flows out of it is made toxic. Nothing of lasting value can or will thrive because the organization's business model is self-serving.
The example set for others to follow is one centered on profit, greed, or domination of others.
Instead of focusing inward to create pathways for others to achieve success, traps are laid to keep others from climbing out of their stations in life. This action perpetuates the separation of classes and maintains the toxic status quo.
Meanwhile, those who are righteous and do good deeds are left to witness this entire affair. They watch and they wait. They do both until the inevitable happens: the toxicity runs its course, and the class structure is upended. Those in power are only in power because of fear. The tool of fear is not sustainable in management or life. It always reaches a point of zero-sum game.
May I take comfort in knowing God is with me and others as we sit, wait, and watch. Good will conquer evil.
Amen.

I wonder what it would feel like to have the physical scars of Jesus?

Amen 🙏.
I’m way behind on this second year of following along in BIY and CIY but today is the 66th anniversary of my baptism and I had to fast forward from day 317 to listen to the BIY on this day- and I’m so blessed to hear these scriptures today - the fruits of the Holy Spirit where we ask to receive when we follow Jesus. Thank you St Paul for teaching and preaching the truth and reminding me today not to lose heart when I fall. May the Lord bless us and may the Holy Spirit guide us and may our blessed Mother Mary show us how to be humble, how to be a child of God and may St Joseph be the terror of demons to protect us from all that causes us to sin. Happy belated birthday, Fr Mike, a blessed Advent and Christmas to all of you and I will catch up! 😊🙏❤️✝️
Thank you Fr. Mike
