Day 167: Viaticum - The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

[@patmendell381]

My battles at 72y/o are the prayers for the conversion of those I love. Lord, if it be your will, may I live to see at least one of their conversations.

You are a great gift, Father. Without you I know I would not even have attempted to read the bible. It just seemed so overwhelming. Thank you. I am learning so much and I am so grateful. You are in my prayers.

[@fashionforwardmom8008]

Lord, You are food for our journey. Nourish, strengthen and encourage us to press forward when we feel like our best days are behind us, our biggest victories are won or even when victories seem too far off. You are never done with us. You are always working. Help us to turn down the noise in our lives so we can hear your still, quiet voice. May we always listen and obey in accordance with your will. There is victory always when we are walking with you. Thank you for your blessing. 🙏🏻

June 18, 2023 Round Two Please pray for Souls in Purgatory. Go ahead, just take about 30 seconds to help save a soul that maybe is your family member or friend! Go forth and help save! Here is the prayer: (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.) The Prayer of St. Gertrude Eternal Father, I offer Thee 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, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen. God would reply to St. Gertrude that He would use whatever was offered to Him for the faithful departed, according to His inclination to show pardon & mercy.

[@roknrone]

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, 🙏 ❤

[@erincaitlin1655]

Thank you, Fr. Mike for making the Bible interesting for believers.

[@1toastandjam1]

Father Mike thank you for providing these readings I have found reading/ listening to the Bible stories is like explaining an adult/ complicated question to a child who is not mature enough just yet to understand the answer. You give the story/ explanation to the child who in return obsorbs what his brain allows and the goes on with life. The next time the child asks the question or just simply hears the story/explanation they are a little more mature and able to absorb more and with deeper meaning. Eventually the story/ explanation is heard and fully comprehended. In my own similar situation I had left the church but God had not left me. I had heard the story of the prodigal son at least 50 times in my life. It was not till the last time I fully comprehended it’s meaning and my connection. In that I was the prodigal son and had lived that life. Once I made the connection I begged the Father for forgiveness and asked that I may return home. He welcomed me with open arms led me to my church and found my home again and was introduced to the love of my life of 7 years now. God bless you Father and all your listeners.

[@berryberry2508]

Wow , what an inspiring story ! Welcome home. Thanks for sharing the good news !! 💎

[@elizabethhunter4525]

It is interesting than God provided for Elijah with the raven bringing food and the widow, as he was walking in faith, but in his lowest moment and depression the angel of the Lord gave him food ( I believe it's accepted that the angel is a pre incarnate manifestation of Christ) The wind earthquake and fire, it specifically states here that God was not in them, and it was followed by a 'still small voice' this I have heard is the ministry of grace. God would rather the fire of judgement falls on the sacrifice than on the people. Threats of judgement and fear, does not win hearts, people need to be drawn by the love God has for his children. ❤❤❤

[@roknrone]

Very insightful..🙏

[@elizabethhunter4525]

@@roknrone Thank you there is so much more to this book than first appears.

[@geraldinelennon818]

Fr Mike I was thinking how could I remember all these names of the Kings & some of the Prophets but it jst dawned on me it doesnt matter if I remembr the names or not I'm understanding God's meaning of most of the talks with God on our side who can be against us keep close to God Almighty 🙏🙏🙏

[@ljkoh20052000able]

Haha good thinking😁

[@cbtherepetitiveparthelpsme957]

Absolutely, people get bogged down in the details. They miss the message entirely. Good for you. 👍

[@diannefreibert3911]

Oh gosh I

[@vilmagordon5701]

My same thoughts🙏🏽

[@jldisme]

Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, deciding, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand God's voice in the Scriptures that we may revere & treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.

Some of these readings are so confusing to me. I feel like I can't follow along. It's frustrating at times. I thank you Father for explaining, because without you, I'm lost.

[@Overlord277]

God speaking to us in the quiet is a story a mother tells children in the intro of The Passion.

[@ewugafrancis8883]

Amen!

[@carissahanson9887]

Also pray for baptisms as well for adults and babies this was another thing that was denied and the church should stand against this because some of those babies may be only had one chance to be baptized or adults only had one chance to be baptized .For our church to be strong there are some that did exactly this and fought for the rights of their parishioners we need to pray for the popes bishops and priests

[@gloriaviruet6026]

Thank you Fr. Mike. Praying for all the followers on this wonderful journey.

[@carissahanson9887]

As a church I hope we pray to never be deceived again to deny somebody communion because of a pandemic this is not how it worked in the history of the church priests bishops holy people always remembered that death was the last part of the journey and that it was important to give confession and communion to the sick this was done during great pandemics where we had no medicine even to helpPriests and saints would give their lives to make sure that people had food for the journey make this year prayer today

There are many chapters missing I’ve already read most of my Bible but I just read it straight through I happen to enjoy this because of the content and how it’s connected and explain so well I wish the other chapters were here I was able to find a few that people couldn’t find but there’s more missing than I thought

[@patriciadavis2514]

Hi Carissa! I think I understand your question...The "missing" chapters are not on KZbin (with text) but they are available on a number of podcasts, I used fireside and read my bible along with.

[@rc3088]

Thank you

[@dianefrank3688]

I am old and have fought so many battles along the way of life, that I like Elijah just want to do my prayers etc and lay low. I do not think I am up to the big fights that are necessary in these drastic times. After my biggest battles I did not think there is no more. I thought Thank you God for getting me through this and please keep me safe from this danger. I guess I might be a coward.

[@berryberry2508]

On reading this, I see you as a faithful, courageous, and grateful woman. God bless you and keep you in His care. 🎀

1 Kings 19 : 11-13 11 - .....but the Lord was not in the wind. ....but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 - ....but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the soft whisper of a voice. 13 - When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, "Elijah, what are you doing here?" 🕯

[@MariusGGG7]

18:50 Father in heaven, we give you thanks and we give you praise for this opportunity to, just enter intro the history of the Kings. The history of the Chronicles. The history of the family of Jesus. The history of the people that you’ve chosen, with their flaws and their faults, with their disasters and with their victories. And because we know that you are the God of our flaws and the God of our faults, you’re the God of our disasters, and you are the God of our victories. And so we give you hearts to this day and every day, please receive them. Please receive our lives, our victories, and our defeats, our flaws and everything we are, in Jesus’ name. Amen. †

2 Chronicles 20 : 32 , 33 32 - Like his father Asa before him, Jehoshaphat did what was right in the sight of the Lord ; 33 - but the pagan places of worship were not destroyed. The people still did not turn wholeheartedly to the worship of the God of their ancestors. 🕯
