Greetings! CIY community greetings! Merry Christmas to all of you and receive him receive in Body and in Blood in the Eucharist today. Day 359. In the first three petitions, God is yearning for our love for him for us to reorient our heart. The fourth and fifth petitions we want our life to be healed of sin.

Let's us thank everyone and pray for all those to whom we promised to pray. Amen!
God Bless you Fr.Mike and all who are following here and also all those who need our prayers. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🙏❤️🎄
I feel like a broken record too. I find myself saying things about Holy Mother Church, 'This is SO beautiful! This is SO beautiful!' I'm so humbled by the beauty of the Church our Lord gave us. And I'm very humbly grateful God led me back to His Church. Deo gracias 🙏
Merry Christmas everyone, no snow here in the upper peninsula of Michigan, very disappointing but it is good driving ! Always something to be thankful for, well we are almost there, thank you Father Mike we appreciate you ! ❤🎄
What an amazing reading/lesson today... What an amazing and wonderful year... I have been pondering what I will undertake in 2024 so I will keep on this blessed journey... One thing I have decided it that I will start the new year relistening to this last Pillar and pondering it all slowly and prayerfully. And I pray that I will discern what next after that... Merry Christmas, Father Mike and Everyone at Ascension Press and Everyone in this Faith Community.
🙏🙏 Merry Christmas! I pray for the forgiveness, healing, love, light, hope, wisdom, mercy, joy, of all of you reading this, of all of us children of God, in Jesus’ name, our Lord, amen
The progression / sequence of the Our father is beautiful... thank you for explaining. From love for God, to present world concerns, to the battle of victory in this life through prayer. Yes, please, change my heart.
2806. ...For through the Name of His Christ and the reign of His Holy Spirit, our Father accomplishes His plan of salvation, for us and for the whole world. Merry Christmas everyone. God Bless you always.
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. 12/25/2023.
I’m catching up today after a stressful Christmas Eve, moving right in into Christmas Day- Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done = love; I had a hard time this Christmas Eve as the secular world and the kingdom of God fought for attention within our family. I will only say this - I was honest with my family about my love of Jesus Christ. I wish a blessed Christmas to you all and Fr Mike, thank you for your teaching and prayers - I’m praying for you ❤️🙏
Merry Christmas! At 2pm I am heading to a Christmas dinner that a local business puts on for anyone that wishes to come. I will take a to-go for my son and for a friend that recently had a set back and can barely walk. 🥰🌲🌟🙏🙏🙏❤
@@dianefrank3688 Look at my tile; my Christmas spread. I am glad you are having a good celebration with your son. We listen to Christmas music; and relaxing. Family calling us from long distance too. There is nothing but slush. The rain melted everything.
Thank you Fr Mike and a very Merry Christmas to you and everyone here. Wishing you all the peace and joy of this Christmas time and Many blessings 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Father in Heaven we give You praise. We thank You once again for speaking to us this day. We thank You for the group of people who are journeying with us, this family of God who seek after Your Word. We listen to Your Word attentively and we ask You to make Yourself known even more fully not merely through Your Word but also through the Spirit that works and animates in Your Word. May It animate in our hearts and illuminate our minds as we come back again and again to Your Word as You reveal It; as You reveal Yourself to us in the Sacred Scripture. We give You praise as You reveal Your Heart to us. Help us not to be afraid to reveal our hearts to You through Christ Our Lord. Amen. - Fr Mike Schmitz Merry Christmas to all❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to you Fr. Mike and all those responsible for this podcast. To all listening I wish you all a blessed and peaceful Merry Christmas. May this day deepen our devotion to the Saviour whose birth we celebrate. May the baby Jesus bring peace joy love happiness and hope in our lives. God bless everyone.🌟🙏❤️🕊️😇🎄
Wow. This is awesome. We always pray this when we pray the Rosary. Well explained Fr Mike. How humble we are that we always include others as well. “For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and the while world.” “Precious blood of Jesus Christ heal us and the whole world.” Happy Christmas to us all!
These petitions are my favorites. They make the Lord's Prayer amazing and important. Fr. Mike's analysis is spot on. God wants us to love others first before we love ourselves. We must learn to care for others, ask for others, pray for others before we pray for self. That's because God's heart is caring and loving. The three petitions about the Lord GOD remind us of God's supremacy as well as the fulfillment of God. The requests that follow it are effective prayers for God's grace to help us live and survive daily. Not because God wants us to ask but to remind us that everything is because of God and even when we forget God, He never forgets us. He's always looking out for us. Thank you so much, Fr. Mike and Team Ascension. Merry Christmas and a Happy Blessed Year ahead. I'm praying for you and for the fellow listeners. God bless
I have learned so much about the Our Father. I have a new love and respect for the genius of this prayer. Thank you Jesus, for teaching us how to pray. ❤
The Lord's Prayer contains 7 petitions made to God the Father. The first 3, more God-centred, draw us towards Him for His glory. It is characteristic of love to think first of the beloved. These petitions suggest in particular what we ought to ask of Him: the sanctification of His Name, the coming of His Kingdom, and the fulfilment of His will. The last 4 petitions present to the Father of mercies our wretchedness and our expectations. They ask Him to feed us, to forgive us, to sustain us in temptations, and to free us from the evil one. Lord change my heart that I may trust you always. Have mercy on me. 🙏
Today is a “catch up” day…..(I’ve had several over the course of the year)….but I am bound and determined to finish on day 365! Fr Mike, I can’t thank you enough for doing this for us . I do plan on doing CYI again, God willing. I am amazed how we learn all our lives, so deep is our faith…..I am 66 years old and have never heard of the seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer. I’m blown away with how we can live a life time and still just scratch the surface of the love of God….the mystery of God….the omnipotence of God. It is so BEAUTIFUL. This Christmas Season has been deepened in our awareness of God’s merciful love because of CIY and BIY. Merry Christmas and a Blessed and Happy New Year!
December 25, 2023 Merry Christmas! Please start this day with me praying for Souls in Purgatory! 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)
The first 3 petitions are for God to be glorified - to think first of the One whom we love - the Father himself; his Name to be hallowed, His Kingdom to come and His Will to be done. The next 2 petitions concern our life - to be fed and to be healed of sin. The last 2 concern our battle for victory of life, our battle of prayer. We have to do today's business and also raise our eyes to the ultimate goal, our heavenly homeland. So, we think of God first above everything else. We ask for a change of heart and for help to do our tasks for today, without temptations, forgiving others, eyes fixed on the goal. For the sake of Jesus' sorrowful passion, Heavenly Father have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen and Amen.
December 25, 2023 Merry Christmas! 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!
Merry Blessed Christmas to all 🙏🙏🙏🎄🌲🎄. The Our Father, The Lord’s Prayer is such a beautiful prayer and I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for giving it to us. Thank you Lord Jesus ❤️❤️❤️
Day 359 Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world." In conclusion, three times you will recite these words: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
Merry Christmas to all fellow travellers on this amazing journey learning about the gift of our Catholicism which has been such a challenge and such a gift. May the peace joy and love of the Lord touch you on this day of the birth of our Lord and every day to come.

Merry Christmas! Please start this day with me praying for Souls in Purgatory!
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)
Amen! Thank you for always reminding us to pray for the souls in Purgatory and posting that prayer. Merry Christmas ❤🙏
Thank you Father Mike! Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉
The first 3 petitions are for God to be glorified - to think first of the One whom we love - the Father himself; his Name to be hallowed, His Kingdom to come and His Will to be done.
The next 2 petitions concern our life - to be fed and to be healed of sin.
The last 2 concern our battle for victory of life, our battle of prayer.
We have to do today's business and also raise our eyes to the ultimate goal, our heavenly homeland.
So, we think of God first above everything else. We ask for a change of heart and for help to do our tasks for today, without temptations, forgiving others, eyes fixed on the goal.
