As a 72 year old woman, Catholic since birth, wonderful family, Catholic education, I have one huge regret. That i was not taught these wonderful things in this extensive way as a teenager. Vatican II was beginning in my high school years. I had wonderful teachers and examples. But nothing compares to what I am learning now. I so wish I could re-live so many moments after hearing this. Thank you all so very much for this amazing blessing and my continuing education. God Bless You
The beauty is we will get to live this way forever... no regrets, eternity is just like this... learning new always...❤ All praise to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit forever.

God bless you. I'm praying for you. THE MOST POWERFUL HEALING PRAYER BY ST. PADRE PIO Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving us. I thank you for sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set us free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore us.
Loving Father, touch @theologyofthebody2870 now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for him/her to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Cover him/her with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of his/her head to the soles of his/her feet. Cast anything that should not be in him/her. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus’ precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through his/her entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that his/her body will function the way you created it to function. Touch also his/her mind and his/her emotion, even the deepest recesses of his/her heart.
Saturate @theologyofthebody2870's entire being with your presence, love, joy and peace and draw him/her ever closer to you every moment of his/her life. And Father, fill him/her with your Holy Spirit and empower him/her to do your works so that his/her life will bring glory and honor to your holy name. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
@ thank you for asking. I’m a little better but I’m not a success story, yet. I lasted three days in that rehab. It was the worst I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t take it. I couldn’t sleep at night, and they were giving me medicine for sleep and anxiety (non habit forming) during the day (first thing in the morning). I couldn’t think much less pray. My dad picks me up and returns me to his house, which I was never supposed to return (needing assistance). My parents brought me in again even though I act like a twelve year old in their home. I’m 40. About to be 41. God have mercy on me. Although I haven’t reached the low I was at then, I’ve yet to escape my addiction. Like all other addicts, I justify it. However, this time I do not hide anything. When I fall or let someone down, I tell them the truth. The day my dad brought me back, my brother was there at my parents house. He was beyond consoling, saying that he doesn’t recognize me. I surely didn’t feel like me. Fast forward a year. I was able to gain employment, while relapsing occasionally. There is no doubt, I am powerless. I had strained my relationship with my brother and was on the cusp of being disowned by him (he had tried everything). Despite my fragility, and proximity to total destruction, my brother invited me to a 3 day retreat. I can’t tell you anything about the retreat other than the Holy Spirit would inform every soul that attended, but mine. My brother went to great lengths for me to hit an epiphany. Last morning of the retreat. The formality is gone. The 1st retreat attendees are no longer being served and told what to do and where to go. The “teamsters” and the 1st retreat attendees can sit down together. I sit next to a 1st timers who is by himself. A minute later my brother finds me, and sits down. Then, a rather large gentlemen that I’d never met who was a teamster, sits down. The guy sitting by himself turns out to be a psychiatrist, and the large gentlemen, was a nurse at a psychiatric ward for rehab. Then, I had my brother ask pertinent questions that I would never have thought of in that moment. I confessed. The psychiatrist and nurse began to question me. I did not lie. Everyone that was close to me knew I had a problem, including myself. That was the reason I went to the retreat. Health and conversion. It was then that I decided to try rehab again. Now, with the nurse’s recommendation, I am waiting for a time when I can take off work and go. It needs to be soon. Although, I went a week without my drug of choice, and survived. I got back on the horse for fear of losing my job. When I was eleven I was diagnosed with ADD. I’m addicted to stimulants. I cannot function without them, or so I thought. I was very confused and the psychiatrist and nurse began to open my eyes about medicating ADD as an adult. Please pray that I stay close to our Lord, and that I am given the opportunity to go to this recommended rehab soon. God bless
Thank you Fr. Mike and Dr. Mary Healy for reminding me to always "Look in the eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ." I know that when my gaze is upon the Lord, I will not sin. It's true. I have felt that God looked at me with compassion rather than with disdain. I closed my eyes and imagined myself looking at Jesus Christ, and I see no loathing in HIS eyes but pure love. Thank you Lord for wanting and calling me back to you. Lord God, help me heal my brokenness. Let me not fall in despair or become despondent because of how much I have sinned against You and Your commandments. Lord Jesus Christ, forgive my sins, have mercy on me, a sinner. I'm praying for you, please pray for me. To God Be The Glory!
Love Dr. Healy! We can’t live “Holy life” a part from our brothers and sisters. We need safe people for accountably in our journey with Christ. “Walk in the light”. 1 John 1. Get a good Spiritual Director! ♥️ I have had 4 wonderful SD in my life, and each one was so helpful.
Thank you for choosing this wonderful woman as your guest. I've been a long-time admirer of Dr. Healy and now even more so!!! As a Revert, and now most of my family has converted (all PRAISE BE TO GOD), I was asking the Lord to help me find a way to have more continuing education for those who have returned and for those who have converted after the RCIA process but in my Parish, this idea was falling on deaf ears. Thank God for BIY AND CIY, both are EXACTLY perfect, not only for ALL Catholics, but especially for the Reverts and Converts, that come into the Faith on FIRE!!! We WANT MORE AND MORE AND MORE!!! Many Catholics around me say they do not want "passion" because "passion" is not sustainable (???!!!!). I say they are WRONG!!! I, too, was baptized in the HS through the Life in the Spirit seminar and Jesus CHRIST RADICALLY changed my life and set my heart on FIRE overv45 years ago!! My passion is even greater now than ever!!! Thank you again Father Mike, for making this possible!!! ❤🤍❤️🤍❤️
At first I thought "WORW! 59 MINUTES!!" My last thought was "WORW! IS THAT IT??? PLEASE KEEP GOING - I'M LOVING THIS CHAT!!! 🙂(Will be watching this one over and over - so good!)
Hi today was my grandma's funeral and my young cousin suddenly passed away and his dad is in the hospital. Please could you pray for everyone involved especially the immediate family. Thank you Fr. Mike!! Your videos are one of the biggest blessings in my life
I will pray for you, your grandmother, your uncle and your immediate family. You are not alone. Remember we can also pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to intercede for the person, even if the person has died, because God exists outside of time and space. Christ promised to defend the souls that we pray for with the Chaplet when the soul stands before God. Jesus is our Savior and defender. Amen!
❤May the Lord bless you with comfort, a welcoming peace, a joy that you will experience and immediately want to share with others. May the peace of the Lord be with us all. ❤
A great introduction to the 3rd Pillar: How We Live. I listened to the whole thing and did not realize and hour passed by. The 10 commandments and the Beatitudes are the most fascinating to me.
It was an hour worth tuning in to Fr. Mike and Dr Healy with their very spiritually enlightening conversation. We are blessed with the teaching of the Catholic church with the catechism as our guide. Thank God for all our faithful priests for their obedience to the Church Catechism. To God be the glory now and forever. Amen. And.may God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit guide everyone of us on How We Live. Amen.
Really happy hearing Dr. Mary Healy mention Blessed Carlo Actus. He was a saintly gamer who died at age 15. Blessed Carlo’s heart is considered a relic and is contained in a reliquary in Assisi that is inscribed with his words: “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven.” Praying for you, Fr. Mike Schmitz, Dr. Mary Healy, and everyone here. Asking for his intercession to our Lord Jesus Christ!
It's wonderful to be a part of this family so far☺ Thanks be to God nd thank u Fr. Mike nd ur team✨🙏 God bless each nd every member of this CIY family☺
Man, is it just be or is Steubenville like the epicentre of Catholicism in the US? I swear now that I've been getting back into my faith and have begun my conversion process, I've noticed so many Catholics appearing on Podcasts and what not saying they're from or live in Steubenville. Perhaps that's a place I need to consider moving to. I do know that to continue this journey I no longer want to live in the ultra liberal province of British Columbia Canada, and I have dual citizenship, so I'm either considering the US or maybe Ottawa or something since I can find bigger Catholic communities.
Dear Saint in the making Dr. Healy did you ever go to Linz Austria when you were in Austria, my grandparents and mother was from there. I Lived in France for 3 1/2 years and on all our school vacations we visited my grandparents. What a gorgeous country.
I truly appreciate this heartfelt discussion. The Q and A was outstanding. The humility of Dr. Mary combined with the wisdom and mutual respect, just an authentic upfront conversation about our faith. Thank you both for this engaging teaching. ❤
Jesus in a special way activate the guardian angel of the Ascension staff and contributors to torment and bind all demons around them and guide these people on the particular paths that bring You the greatest glory.❤
God is infinite Good and absolute Truth, the only uncreated Being and we should believe, then we have to surrender our wil to His. this is the part we struggle on and on. To become holy, our heart and mind should be transformed to the heat and mind of Jesus. May we be docile to the guide of Holy Spirit🙏 Thank you Dr Healy and Fr Mike😊
Perplexed What is wrong with Australia? Patience is a virtue Still anxiously awaiting approval from Australian Catholic Bishops so I can purchase a copy. Thank you (in advance) for your efforts in moving forward on this
Thanks to Fr Schmtiz and especially Dr Mary Healy. The suggestion she made at 43:33 was topnotch. I wish I had known this earlier, it would have saved me from so many anxieties and distresses in dealing with myself and others.
Wow! What a fantastic preparation for the 3rd Pillar. I have been pensive about this 3rd Pillar since deciding whether or not to go forth with the podcast. I've looked up many things in this section when the Catechism first came out and was confused and overwhelmed. This preparation video is so thorough - I listened to it last night before sleep and again this morning while on an early morning walk. I will probably listen to it again so I can take notes - there are so many things Mary brought up that deepened my understanding and faith. Many many thanks to the Ascension team, Mary Healy, and Fr. Mike for taking such great care to prepare us for this 3rd Pillar. Yes - Fr. Mike - I am praying for you, Mary Healy, the Ascension team, and everyone listening to this podcast as we all grow in faith together.
It was helpful to me as a convert living in the world, lost sometimes in secular ideals, when confronted by church teachings I did not like or understand, to be humble and say. I don't understand this, God; please teach me, guide me, help me to see the good in what you teach, open my mind and heart to your truths. That way if I had disagreements or was living faulty, rather than just fight against the teaching or walk away from the teaching, I sought to bend a knee to the teaching and wait upon the Lord for revelation. You don't have to get it all, right this minute, you just have to be humble enough to bend that knee before the King and say, I wait upon your teaching and wisdom. It will be made clear day by day why it is the good truth of God, if that helps.
I’m feeling truly blessed that I’ve made it to Day-230. Listening to Dr. Healy has motivated and inspired me to know more about my Faith. God bless Father Mike and Dr. Healy for sharing this wonderful day with us and for their spiritual guidance. I’m still praying for Father Mike and all of us.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Enjoyed this talk; thank you. As a widow (since age 45), I still need to work to support both my children. But I’m looking forward to my retirement (in 2.5 years time) to shift from corporate to giving the rest of my life, working for His church and His creations. “Lord Jesus, give me Your blessings, Your grace and Your Holy Spirit to see my plans come true. In Your most precious name, I ask of this. Amen.”
What an amazing message on the third book of Catechism. Dr. Healy is so knowledgeable and amazing speaker, I have some of her books; but to see her talking to Fr. Mike was so good!!
How I wish I had this beautiful insight and wisdom as a young woman. It has taken a lifetime to return to the Catholic faith, finally listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Praise God He is love and mercy, and will not leave or forsake us. I still often feel quite broken from my past, a prodigal child. However, the Lord is my Shepherd, He restoreth my soul. May God bless the teaching of His truth. Thank you so very much Father Mike and Dr. Healy.
There are many of us with stories we aren't proud of. To read your comment though brings joy to me. Joy that you're finding your way and joy that there's still a chance that some that I love dearly will eventually find their way. God continue to bless you dear one🙏 Please keep sharing your story. 🙏🤲🙏🙌💕💖💝
I identify with your comment, thanks for posting it. I was living in darkness for so long and the Lord, through His Blessed Mother, brought me back into the light, back into the culture of life, back into the Catholic Church. There is indeed hope for our loved ones who are still in darkness. We can never underestimate the power of our prayer for them... the power of a Mother's or Father's or Grandparents or siblings' prayer. Also, our sacrifices. My mother prayed the Rosary for me, and she also lived her God given vocation faithfully despite many heartaches and sufferings. I believe that was the grace that brought me home. I left the Catholic church at age 16 and came back at age 30. I have joy, Hope and peace like I never thought i would experience. There is hope! The Heavenly Father is bringing His prodigals home!! God bless. ❤
“Malformed conscience” 21:35 I have never heard this expression/terminology, referring to our religious growth. This term is quite illuminating! In fact, when I heard it, at first, I was taken back a little, but then it filled me with joy! Of all the lessons, this one has spoken to me the most profoundly. There’s something in me where I recognize a feeling that makes me smile.
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. 8/18/2023.
This was an hour well spent. Dr Healy seems to be a saintly woman. I will look into more of her work. Thanks for introducing her. Of course, Fr Mike, such a holy man. I suspect we will know him as fondly as we remember Fr Patrick Peyton, Ven. Fulton Sheen and others who have instructed us well in our catholic faith. Looking forward to Pillar III but I’m apprehensive as I feel it’s going to be Very personal and rough ride. I’m otaying for all of you. Please pray for me.
This talk for me was one of God’s finest hours and as we know God’s hours are all ‘the finest’. Inwardly, while listening to this talk I cried tears of joy for ‘this good news’ that was revealed to me. Thank you is too small an expression to relate my profound gratitude. Pls have another “talk” between Father Mike and Dr Healey. When they both arrive in Heaven may they both be comforted with how many of God’s children they have brought home to Him thru the Holy Spirit working in the them. Holy Trinity - I love you with all my ❤️.
I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Healy. I loved the enthusiasm and I could really see the genuineness of her convictions. These pillar discussions are always excellent. Thanks Dr. Healy and Fr. Mike (whose enthusiasm is rarely - if ever - surpassed 🙂). I hope I can have what you both have some day. I will continue to strive for it. Thanks again and keep up this great work. God bless!!
Thank you Father....you are right!!! It is not all sweetness and life - the Catholic light is impossible, but Jesus came for us sinners, he meets us in the valley of humility (thank you Saint Theresa) not the mountain top xx
The reference Fr. Mike mentions about the ultimate fate of institutions as opposed to individuals in the discussion about social justice comes from C.S. Lewis’ “Man or Rabbit?” from his collection of essays entitled “God in the Dock.” One of my favorites. Definitely worth a read.
Thank you Father Mike for having Dr. Healy on. I have felt apprehensive lately and like I have failed much in life. This is a message that is meant for me this day.
Incredible, Awesome,Soulful,Moving ,A True Life Changing Experience and A Wake Up Call that I am Humbled By ! I Love Our Catholic Church, And I Thank God Every Day For His Love !
A great intro to Pilar 3 by Dr. Mary Healy and Fr. Mike. "Speak Lord, your servant is listening."Fill me with your Holy Spirit," as I surrender myself to Jesus
A day behind here and was leery about llstening for the whole hour. I was going to only listen to half and catch up later. I did not want to leave once I hit play. I do feel challenged to give God everything and take charge. I need to struggle to listen to his will. I admit that I am scared of crosses that I may need to bear. However, I know that along with the crosses comes strength and courage to carry them. Graces come with the crosses. I need to let go and fully trust Jesus. I pray for that grace to let go. God knows how I have done my will and messed up so many times. I have made so many bad decisions in my life. Majority of my crosses are rooted from my poor choices. I am at point where I am ready to give it All to him. Thank you Father Mike and Dr. Healy.

Day 230 was wonderful, amazing, mind opening experience. Thank you,
Took the words right out of my mouth!

God bless you. I'm praying for you.
THE MOST POWERFUL HEALING PRAYER BY ST. PADRE PIO

for I believe that your will is for him/her to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit.
Cover him/her with the most precious blood of your Son,
our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of his/her head to the soles of his/her feet.
Cast anything that should not be in him/her.
Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells.
Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas.

and empower him/her to do your works
so that his/her life will bring glory and honor to your holy name.
I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
How are you?
@ thank you for asking. I’m a little better but I’m not a success story, yet.
I lasted three days in that rehab. It was the worst I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t take it. I couldn’t sleep at night, and they were giving me medicine for sleep and anxiety (non habit forming) during the day (first thing in the morning). I couldn’t think much less pray.
My dad picks me up and returns me to his house, which I was never supposed to return (needing assistance). My parents brought me in again even though I act like a twelve year old in their home. I’m 40. About to be 41. God have mercy on me.
Although I haven’t reached the low I was at then, I’ve yet to escape my addiction. Like all other addicts, I justify it. However, this time I do not hide anything. When I fall or let someone down, I tell them the truth.
The day my dad brought me back, my brother was there at my parents house. He was beyond consoling, saying that he doesn’t recognize me. I surely didn’t feel like me.
Fast forward a year. I was able to gain employment, while relapsing occasionally. There is no doubt, I am powerless. I had strained my relationship with my brother and was on the cusp of being disowned by him (he had tried everything). Despite my fragility, and proximity to total destruction, my brother invited me to a 3 day retreat.
I can’t tell you anything about the retreat other than the Holy Spirit would inform every soul that attended, but mine. My brother went to great lengths for me to hit an epiphany.
Last morning of the retreat. The formality is gone. The 1st retreat attendees are no longer being served and told what to do and where to go. The “teamsters” and the 1st retreat attendees can sit down together.
I sit next to a 1st timers who is by himself. A minute later my brother finds me, and sits down. Then, a rather large gentlemen that I’d never met who was a teamster, sits down.
The guy sitting by himself turns out to be a psychiatrist, and the large gentlemen, was a nurse at a psychiatric ward for rehab. Then, I had my brother ask pertinent questions that I would never have thought of in that moment. I confessed. The psychiatrist and nurse began to question me. I did not lie. Everyone that was close to me knew I had a problem, including myself. That was the reason I went to the retreat. Health and conversion.
It was then that I decided to try rehab again. Now, with the nurse’s recommendation, I am waiting for a time when I can take off work and go. It needs to be soon. Although, I went a week without my drug of choice, and survived. I got back on the horse for fear of losing my job.
When I was eleven I was diagnosed with ADD. I’m addicted to stimulants. I cannot function without them, or so I thought.
I was very confused and the psychiatrist and nurse began to open my eyes about medicating ADD as an adult.
Please pray that I stay close to our Lord, and that I am given the opportunity to go to this recommended rehab soon.
God bless
Amen
Thank you
God bless you Dr. Mary....you should go surfing!

I'm praying for you, please pray for me. To God Be The Glory!
Love Dr. Healy! We can’t live “Holy life” a part from our brothers and sisters. We need safe people for accountably in our journey with Christ. “Walk in the light”. 1 John 1. Get a good Spiritual Director! ♥️ I have had 4 wonderful SD in my life, and each one was so helpful.

She is an appointee of pope Francis
@@christinegreenberg1145 Appointed to what, exactly?
@christinegreenberg1145 I’m curious what your statement means about Dr. Mary Healy being an appointee of Pope Francis - what do you mean?
Dr, Healy was one of the first women appointed by the Pope to the Pontifical Biblical Commission.

Thanks for this talk, 2 great people talking about God's life giving laws. Thanks Father Mike and Dr Mary.
Dear Saint in the making Dr. Healy did you ever go to Linz Austria when you were in Austria, my grandparents and mother was from there. I Lived in France for 3 1/2 years and on all our school vacations we visited my grandparents. What a gorgeous country.
Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
This presentation was absolutely awesome.
Day 230. 🙏🙏🙏
I truly appreciate this heartfelt discussion. The Q and A was outstanding. The humility of Dr. Mary combined with the wisdom and mutual respect, just an authentic upfront conversation about our faith. Thank you both for this engaging teaching. ❤
Thank you so much to both of you. It's so amazing. Praying for you and everyone here. Hod bless🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Jesus in a special way activate the guardian angel of the Ascension staff and contributors to torment and bind all demons around them and guide these people on the particular paths that bring You the greatest glory.❤
Two of my favorite Catholic speakers ! Such a gift -thank you!
We've made it to day 230!!! 🎈💜Congratulations, everyone! Thank you Father Mike, your team and Dr. Healy, God bless you and everyone here!
❤🙏
Great analogies gives things a whole new meaning
Wow! That was amazing. Thank you both! Ready to go all for Jesus!
This is so great! Thank you Fr. Mike and Dr. Mary Healy😇
When Dr. Healy referred to "our dearly departed founder" I had a moment where I realized I never consider Jesus as dead.
Not dead, but yes, departed to heaven
God is infinite Good and absolute Truth, the only uncreated Being and we should believe, then we have to surrender our wil to His. this is the part we struggle on and on. To become holy, our heart and mind should be transformed to the heat and mind of Jesus. May we be docile to the guide of Holy Spirit🙏 Thank you Dr Healy and Fr Mike😊
Perplexed
What is wrong with Australia?
Patience is a virtue
Still anxiously awaiting approval from Australian Catholic Bishops so I can purchase a copy.
Thank you (in advance) for your efforts in moving forward on this
The last portion of Mary's commentary reminded me of Father Mark Beard's last homily. Don't be on the fence!
Thanks to Fr Schmtiz and especially Dr Mary Healy. The suggestion she made at 43:33 was topnotch. I wish I had known this earlier, it would have saved me from so many anxieties and distresses in dealing with myself and others.
Wow! What a fantastic preparation for the 3rd Pillar. I have been pensive about this 3rd Pillar since deciding whether or not to go forth with the podcast. I've looked up many things in this section when the Catechism first came out and was confused and overwhelmed. This preparation video is so thorough - I listened to it last night before sleep and again this morning while on an early morning walk. I will probably listen to it again so I can take notes - there are so many things Mary brought up that deepened my understanding and faith. Many many thanks to the Ascension team, Mary Healy, and Fr. Mike for taking such great care to prepare us for this 3rd Pillar. Yes - Fr. Mike - I am praying for you, Mary Healy, the Ascension team, and everyone listening to this podcast as we all grow in faith together.
❤
I too was so impressed that I indicated the marker tab on the video; and posting - wrote three separate threads on each tab.
May God bless you always 🙏
Surrender your life to Jesus! Jesus You take over, my life! Jesus you take over my everything, help me. Fill me with your Holy Spirit! Amen. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
It was helpful to me as a convert living in the world, lost sometimes in secular ideals, when confronted by church teachings I did not like or understand, to be humble and say. I don't understand this, God; please teach me, guide me, help me to see the good in what you teach, open my mind and heart to your truths. That way if I had disagreements or was living faulty, rather than just fight against the teaching or walk away from the teaching, I sought to bend a knee to the teaching and wait upon the Lord for revelation. You don't have to get it all, right this minute, you just have to be humble enough to bend that knee before the King and say, I wait upon your teaching and wisdom. It will be made clear day by day why it is the good truth of God, if that helps.
Amen
AMEN
Go all in!
This was very important to me. Thank you. I will listen to this again, probably many times. God bless you both.
I’m feeling truly blessed that I’ve made it to Day-230. Listening to Dr. Healy has motivated and inspired me to know more about my Faith. God bless Father Mike and Dr. Healy for sharing this wonderful day with us and for their spiritual guidance. I’m still praying for Father Mike and all of us.🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a gift the Catechism is and a joy the conversation with Dr. Healy is!
Enjoyed this talk; thank you. As a widow (since age 45), I still need to work to support both my children. But I’m looking forward to my retirement (in 2.5 years time) to shift from corporate to giving the rest of my life, working for His church and His creations. “Lord Jesus, give me Your blessings, Your grace and Your Holy Spirit to see my plans come true. In Your most precious name, I ask of this. Amen.”
Lord hear our prayer ❤
What an amazing message on the third book of Catechism. Dr. Healy is so knowledgeable and amazing speaker, I have some of her books; but to see her talking to Fr. Mike was so good!!
Great conversation. Thank you both Fr. Mike and Dr. Healy.
Dear Lord, from this point on may your will be done and not mine. I hand over my will to you! Holy spirit guide me! Jesus, I trust in you! Amen! ❤
Amen
How I wish I had this beautiful insight and wisdom as a young woman. It has taken a lifetime to return to the Catholic faith, finally listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Praise God He is love and mercy, and will not leave or forsake us. I still often feel quite broken from my past, a prodigal child. However, the Lord is my Shepherd, He restoreth my soul. May God bless the teaching of His truth. Thank you so very much Father Mike and Dr. Healy.
There are many of us with stories we aren't proud of. To read your comment though brings joy to me. Joy that you're finding your way and joy that there's still a chance that some that I love dearly will eventually find their way. God continue to bless you dear one🙏 Please keep sharing your story. 🙏🤲🙏🙌💕💖💝
I identify with your comment, thanks for posting it. I was living in darkness for so long and the Lord, through His Blessed Mother, brought me back into the light, back into the culture of life, back into the Catholic Church. There is indeed hope for our loved ones who are still in darkness. We can never underestimate the power of our prayer for them... the power of a Mother's or Father's or Grandparents or siblings' prayer. Also, our sacrifices. My mother prayed the Rosary for me, and she also lived her God given vocation faithfully despite many heartaches and sufferings. I believe that was the grace that brought me home. I left the Catholic church at age 16 and came back at age 30. I have joy, Hope and peace like I never thought i would experience. There is hope! The Heavenly Father is bringing His prodigals home!! God bless. ❤
Amen 🙏.
Talk about not beating around the bush! I would like to have Dr Healy as a spiritual director! No wait - maybe not - I'd be crying every day!
Wow! So nice to Father Mike's face this time while he introduces and reads and explains the readings of the day. So cool
Oh God! What a conversation! God bless you both of you!! I keep pressing play!!
“Malformed conscience” 21:35 I have never heard this expression/terminology, referring to our religious growth. This term is quite illuminating! In fact, when I heard it, at first, I was taken back a little, but then it filled me with joy! Of all the lessons, this one has spoken to me the most profoundly. There’s something in me where I recognize a feeling that makes me smile.
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. 8/18/2023.
Amen
❤❤
This was an hour well spent. Dr Healy seems to be a saintly woman. I will look into more of her work. Thanks for introducing her. Of course, Fr Mike, such a holy man. I suspect we will know him as fondly as we remember Fr Patrick Peyton, Ven. Fulton Sheen and others who have instructed us well in our catholic faith.
Looking forward to Pillar III but I’m apprehensive as I feel it’s going to be Very personal and rough ride. I’m otaying for all of you. Please pray for me.
This was mind opening and soul enriching. I'm grateful to be a Catholic.
This talk for me was one of God’s finest hours and as we know God’s hours are all ‘the finest’. Inwardly, while listening to this talk I cried tears of joy for ‘this good news’ that was revealed to me. Thank you is too small an expression to relate my profound gratitude. Pls have another “talk” between Father Mike and Dr Healey. When they both arrive in Heaven may they both be comforted with how many of God’s children they have brought home to Him thru the Holy Spirit working in the them. Holy Trinity - I love you with all my ❤️.
💫💐💫Thank you💫💐💫
Surfing - such a great analogy!!
obedience...These are a STIFF NECKED, HARD HEARTED people...
I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Healy. I loved the enthusiasm and I could really see the genuineness of her convictions. These pillar discussions are always excellent. Thanks Dr. Healy and Fr. Mike (whose enthusiasm is rarely - if ever - surpassed 🙂). I hope I can have what you both have some day. I will continue to strive for it. Thanks again and keep up this great work. God bless!!
This episode of catechism in a year left me "on fire." I have no other words to describe my experience!Thanks be to God!
Thank you Dr Mary Healy for your thought filled conversation with Fr Mike🙏🏻🕊💖🕊🙏🏻
First time I've heard Dr Mary Healy. She has a very uplifting voice. Reminds me of the turtles in Finding Nemo somehow. Super wise. Super cool also.
Totally ❤
Boy, this was good. I could have listened for another hour! I love the clear examples given here for living a full life in God!
Such a great conversation that has highly reignited my faith in Christ and I can't wait to dive in and be a whole baked Christian with both feet in
What a radically wonderful day 230!!! Was totally not expecting this..totally inspiring and challenging and wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Father....you are right!!! It is not all sweetness and life - the Catholic light is impossible, but Jesus came for us sinners, he meets us in the valley of humility (thank you Saint Theresa) not the mountain top xx
The reference Fr. Mike mentions about the ultimate fate of institutions as opposed to individuals in the discussion about social justice comes from C.S. Lewis’ “Man or Rabbit?” from his collection of essays entitled “God in the Dock.” One of my favorites. Definitely worth a read.
Thank you Fr Mike and the Ascentation Team for introducing Dr Mary Healy. What a beautiful discussion. Looking forward to Pillar three. 8/18/2023
Hello Father Mike and Dr. Mary Healy! Thank you for all your teachings. ❤️ God bless you both and all CIY COMMUNITY!🙏❤️🙏
❤🙏
Thank you Father Mike for having Dr. Healy on. I have felt apprehensive lately and like I have failed much in life. This is a message that is meant for me this day.
Incredible, Awesome,Soulful,Moving ,A True Life Changing Experience and A Wake Up Call that I am Humbled By ! I Love Our Catholic Church, And I Thank God Every Day For His Love !
We are so blessed to have this opportunity to hear such an encourgement time with both of you. God bless you abundantly.
God bless Father Mike and Dr Mary
These catechism sessions have deepened my ‘yes’. Thank you Fr Mike and Ascension.
Wonderful introduction to the 3rd pillar! She very thoughtful and thorough in her explanations! Great start !
A great intro to Pilar 3 by Dr. Mary Healy and Fr. Mike. "Speak Lord, your servant is listening."Fill me with your Holy Spirit," as I surrender myself to Jesus
Thank you, Fr Mike and Dr Healy. Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Praying for you both. God Bless. Claire.
A day behind here and was leery about llstening for the whole hour. I was going to only listen to half and catch up later. I did not want to leave once I hit play. I do feel challenged to give God everything and take charge. I need to struggle to listen to his will. I admit that I am scared of crosses that I may need to bear. However, I know that along with the crosses comes strength and courage to carry them. Graces come with the crosses. I need to let go and fully trust Jesus. I pray for that grace to let go. God knows how I have done my will and messed up so many times. I have made so many bad decisions in my life. Majority of my crosses are rooted from my poor choices. I am at point where I am ready to give it All to him. Thank you Father Mike and Dr. Healy.
Thank you so much Fr. Mike, Dr. Healy, and Ascension. As always, I am praying for all of you. God Bless 🙏🏻
This was so beautiful…it filled my mind and ❤️
“Go all in for Jesus. Don’t hold back” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Father Mike and Dr. Healy for your discussion. I really enjoyed the talk
Lord have mercy on me, a sinner. 🙏
