[@HAL9000-su1mz]

“IF” you have not already, please consider going to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament (also known as “Holy Hour”). Call your local Catholic parish and find out when they offer it. Then, just go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. Take your bible. Read scripture, pray, contemplate. Tell the Lord of your search for truth, of your doubts, worries, even fears. Then, be as patient with Him as He has been with you. When you receive the grace to know that HE IS THERE, you will be forever changed. Miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.

I have been in the process of conversion for 3 years now, it has been a difficult and beautiful experience. I recently started praying the rosary at least 3 times a week and much like my experience with the Catholic faith so far, it has deepened my relationship with Christ and further strengthened my resolve to get baptized. I am currently going to OCIA and will be baptized this coming Easter by the grace of God. Pray for us new and prospective converts!

As a history teacher, I appreciate Father Mike sharing that most early Christians could not read, so they were looking for another way to worship God beyond reciting the 150 psalms.

[@JohnHenrysaysHi]

One of my favorite Bible segments bringing to mind the dignity of life- When Mother Mary was pregnant with Jesus, she went on an about eighty mile joyous journey to visit her cousin Saint Elizabeth (patron saint of expectant mothers and pregnant women) in her hour of need, Elizabeth said referencing her tiny child in her womb John the Baptist who was conceived when she was in old age: Luke 1:41-45 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Praying for our Church, our culture, and for us in my Rosary every day! I believe Jesus Christ is the mediator, and I believe our Blessed Mother Mary can lead us to Him. She prays for us on our way to Him. When I refer to Mary as my mother, please know I am not taking away respect due to my one and only God, Lord Jesus Christ. I believe loving people Jesus loves helps us love Him more, so the more I love Mary, the more I love God, and Jesus gave Mary to us as our mother on the Cross. John 19: 26-27 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. Mother Mary, the first Christian with her choice to say "yes" to my one and only God's will, I believe she is the number 1 model for sainthood for both men and women. She did God's will perfectly in every respect from the moment of her conception, listening to every single one of His commands. Her choice to say "yes" Luke 1:38 Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. to God's will ushered in salvation for the world, and she did so knowing the sacrifices and sufferings that would result from her decision, but, humbly, accepted the privilege of containing the God of the Universe her womb, and then becoming Jesus' most intimate friend, companion, and greatest consolation while on Earth. She was the devil's ultimate humiliation! I believe God is the King of the universe, having all power of the universe, but God chose Our Lady, a humble lowly woman the privilege of crushing the head of the devil. Mary is not God, but she is a saint, and being that she is with Jesus in Heaven, I ask for her intercession to our Lord (and for sake of brevity, I'll say I "pray to Mary"), similar to how I'd ask people to pray for me (if you have the time, please do! I'm a broken sinner in need of many prayers), but I trust she is a saint in Heaven so I believe it is helpful to ask for her help, especially being so close to her Son. There is only one God. He is the source of all good. He is Goodness. He is Love! Thank you, Father Mike Schmitz!

That's such a beautiful thing about the church. Knowing we have the ability to pray even in the midst of our sin. Knowing that's the way of the saints of course knowing ourself. Before we go never ceasing, certainly we must strive for it, polishing the saint...😂😂😂

[@franciscos.a.l.135]

ain't that some, when you know what the church does, is make it part in. From the altar to the sun, you realize how much love the church has for a sinner. WHERE YOU AT PRODIGAL, WE LOOKING AND WE TOOTING AND RECRUITING. WE WILL FIND YAH AND WE WILL KEEP YAH.

I just started praying to her more often. I call her Mom as well.

[@denisevazquez901]

I started praying the Rosary 3 years ago, in the middle of my process of praying for my marriage restoration. I started on my own, then in group and now I pray also with my mom. I'm in love with the Rosary, it's a true meditation on Jesus' life and it's a moment to relax and think no other thing so it has also helped me with my anxiety. . I love your videos, father. Thank you

Thank you Fr Mike for explaining The Rosary. I have been trying to find a source of its history and with God’s grace I came across today. May God continue to bless you and the Ascension team.

Our Lady said "pray the rosary" to the Fatima children, if i recall.

[@choosejesus1910]

Yes. Our Queen told the 3 children to pray the rosery everyday for world peace and for the war to end that was happening at their time.

[@joshuajohnson118]

Yes, she did. 😊

[@sunnyjohnson992]

Ok, but when did she ever say that in the Bible? The Bible is supposedly a Catholic book, so where does it say that? Bible book, chapter and verse. I’ll wait-And don’t say everything isn’t in the Bible. If Catholics truly made the Bible, why leave it out? 🤔

[@choosejesus1910]

@@sunnyjohnson992 This happened in 1917. After the Bible was written.

[@joshuajohnson118]

@@sunnyjohnson992 The apparitions at Fatima happened many centuries after the Bible was completed, so our Lady appearing to those three children isn't in the Bible. And in the video, Fr. Mike said that each decade, or mystery, focuses on a particular scene or section of the life of Jesus. (I'm paraphrasing) And when Jesus was on the cross, he said to John, "Behold your mother." And he said to Mary, "Behold your son." That's when he gave her to the Church as our mother. Whenever we pray the rosary, we're not worshipping her. We're simply asking our holy mother to intercede for us to her son.

[@FSR431]

Prayer is the training of the soul to live in union with God. The rosary is the boot camp of that training.

[@damionduffy3625]

Thank you father I love you ❤️🙏🏻

[@emmanuelnsamba7365]

God bless your work, Fr. Mike 🙏🏾

[@Cidereater]

Any time I pray the Holy Rosary and meditate on the mysteries, I always gain a peace that would never be possible with any material things we think we enjoy. Mary's intercession is real and when you realise that you can't help but wonder "why didn't I start doing this sooner." Praise be to God and God bless everyone.

[@artorefalnera3055]

Thank you Fr. God bless and keep you.🙏😇

[@anaacevedo7166]

My love for Mary since childhood. My parents divorced at my early age. She became my Mother. Is and will always be! Then, entered the convent and my life was fulfilled. Mary, pray for us!

[@mariedubois6102]

Hi from France, I personnally would love to pray Rosary everyday. I want to consecrate myself to our Lord through our dear Mother. I really want it but I have so much inner battles. Please pray for me so that I will succeed in it. I want to love and make love our Lady, and by the way of course her Son.

[@g.5382]

Our Blessed Mother truly brings us to her Son, Jesus. I am a living testimony of her Rosary doing just that. As a Catholic who once strayed away believing what non-Catholic said about Jesus’ Church, I am now walking faithfully and eternally grateful to my Mother, Mary. I have Jesus in my heart and it is thanks to His amazing mother!

[@ScottKitlarz]

I will keep you in my prayers!
