Thank you for the encouragement. I'm going to dedicate my daily rosary to those who are experiencing the worst day of their life. My heart hurts for you. Beautiful prayer, Father Mike. God bless all.

[@olivematura5027]

Thank you Father to remind us that God is always with us, because sometimes times things seem so grimed that it makes us wonder. But then God puts people like you in our live to lift us out of the place where we are and remind us that , YES😮 God is with us and to hang on to our faith.

[@marilynholmes8222]

Just finished Day 306 of BIAY. I have 3 more decades of my daily rosary to pray. I am starting them now for any family in Biay who feels it’s been the worst day of their life, that the Love of God will sustain them and the Holy Spirit it will come down upon them and heal their brokenness.

[@Shar1022]

Thank u SO much!! The past few mths have been very difficult for me. I know others have it so much worse & I’m sorry to complain because, I know it’s true. Others, basically are on their death beds, but, no complaints. I feel I’m being a wimp, but definitely need prayers for my family & me. Thank u so much & God bless all of the BIAY “family”. Fr Mike is, indeed, a treasure to us. What a great way to start my day, w/his words of inspiration & encouragement. Thank u, Father Mike, for ur encouraging words & ur loving support. 🙏❤️

[@annmarek3989]

Thank you for reminding us to keep each other in our prays… and that God is active in our lives. Each day be on the lookout for God in Action.

[@claudiaorabone9157]

Brain bleed and neighbor fell and is in rehab..I tripped over a wire in my apt and fell on my kneews..God was good to me, all is ok...Cannot dye my hair anymore..Dermatitis( psoriasi).. Growing out hair..white in places...I prayed to Abba and told him my hair will b like his and not like Jesus's...Alot if changes..I was derived and received a planary indulgence..Never knew what God wanted even though I was baptised confined and made my 1st communion..Go thru the motions with no meaning..Now I know and I live holy...so God is working in me..I feel it...🙏🙏🙏

[@dianefrank3688]

Our journey to eternity is to be on the straight and narrow path and our eyes on the finish, heaven. There may be many obstacles along that narrow path and we cannot avoid them because the path is narrow. We must endure them and carry on. The wide path lets one go wherever one wants to go and you have room to dodge some of the trials on the way and replace them with evil pleasures and pursuits. In all this it is easy to forget the end goal of eternity in heaven. I am so happy that you have endured the hardships that seem to have come at you all at once. Now you have been blessed with the reason you have endured and make it through all of this and survived. It is because God truly loves you and wants you to come to Him and journey with Him onward toward eternity. God Bless❤🙏

[@rm-paradise]

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. 11/1/2024

[@mwm3360]

Thank you Fr MiKe. I thought I would share that I had an event in my life where I was given this knowledge "if you knew who walked beside you all the time, on this path, you would never experience doubt or fear again. He is with you always". It inspires me

[@richie1027]

I appreciate Fr bringing up that for some in our group are having the worst day of their life. I paused to imagine mine; when I lost my granddaughter 2 yrs ago and how Jesus got me through that.. so I offer a prayer to those tortured souls today to hang in and trust that God most assuredly has your back and that. You are not alone. God is good….all the time.

[@connienavarette1948]

I believe I was in 2nd grade when I prayed to God and asked him for the gift of wisdom. I had finished reading my great grandpa Anglin’s KJV Bible. I was utterly fascinated and filled with love and longing for God. At 71 years old I am more than ever fascinated and filled with love and longing for God. I thank God for his gift of life and for the wisdom that he gives. Amen!!! 🙏🏼♥️

[@veronicac6969]

Oh wow! I so needed to hear your last few phrases. Yesterday and today have been gut wrenching for me. And yes, I do feel so very alone. I actually cried tears when you said, “God is with me because I feel Ike no is at this moment.” Thank you God and Fr. Mike for making me see that I am not alone.

[@socorrocervantes8151]

Thank you dear Lord for Fr Mike knowing he is praying for everyone of us each time he shares your sacred words with us. By your grace dear Lord you have made Fr Mike a source of comfort to so many of us who at times feel alone in our faith. Give us the wisdom to faithfully love, adore, follow and serve you dear Lord. Amen.

[@jonathangoodwin646]

Father mike this is so helpful you're reading the bible in a year. Do I have to do myself? I wouldn't be able to do it because I don't have a learning disability. I have to use a microphone to do my spelling for me. I was especially education classes so that's really hard for me And i'm really excited getting to the end of the bible in the year. Also will be very excited for December. Because I will be back to the church 2 years I was gone for 13 years and I returned to the church. You're the one that got me to come back and you don't know it. I was just getting on KZbin kinda just going through looking what? What's on KZbin? You kept on coming up. On different topics. And I don't even remember the classes before my baptism. I didn't know what I believed. I just called myself Catholic. A knock practice in catholic I did not know what it means to be a practicing Catholic. Now I know now i'm practicing catholic My wife is 46 years old and she's Catholic. I made sixty seven wake up married in the Catholic church Two thousand two with a marriage for eighteen years now. All our children have been baptized. Confirmation and confirm. We have twin boys eight fourteen . Daughter age sixteen. One of the things I'm grateful for the church. Since I don't like driving because of my age. They have Van that picks me up and it's too dark donation. I'm so grateful for them. And in a goals and picks everyone up they don't have a ride. And thank you so much for your insight. I have no idea there was so much Blood shed . I also will surprise about king David. That was an early series that you did. One f is sons rape the woman. I used to be baptized when I was growing up. It pause me you can never lose your salvation don't matter what you do. I start going to the classes for baptism. Because I was really impressed one of my classmates got married in the Catholic church The marriage will william put press me. So 1979 I was baptized. Call formation Confirm . Of course me and my wife got married in the Catholic Church. The hardest thing when I came back as remembering. All my sins that I had to go to confession for because I can't read or spell which my phone helps me since I have a microphone I started writing everything down. I'm went back 50 years. Most of my sense were mortal Sins. All those of behind me. Most of my sins nowadays venial sins. Recently I had a mortal sin I need to get to confession cause. I didn't have any transportation to get to the church for that. Since I'm a senior citizen. I can get a ride. On a van that's that's four senior citizens to go to the church. Close unfortunately, my car's in the shop. And and they're working on it. That wouldn't have it back until the twenty eighth. Pray for me I will not die before getting to confession. Even if I do, I'm sure the Lord. Will give me mercy since he knows i'm planning to go to confession. And I didn't do any good on the .lent Not eating meat fish Only . On sundays I fast before the holy communion. But I do not fast lent Because of my medications. Since I can't fast. I take it fast on my phone not watching movies.

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.”

[@vkbowers]

Thank you so much, God bless you, Fr Mike. I had so much anxiety in my soul this morning and today’s reading from Macabees along with your teaching really strengthened my spirit.

Great to see you again - I'm sure we just got off sync in our days. I missed your daily requests to pray for the holy souls in Purgatory and meditate on St Faustina's diary. What a great gift you started on this podcast. Oh, nice touch for today is All Souls Day for me, how appropriate. 11/2/2022

[@dawnmireles2912]

November 1, 2023 Round Two Would you 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!

[@MrDarshD]

Important reminder that we get God's grace by seeking and also that even on the worst days, God is with us. *_ Characteristics of wisdom from Wisdom 7 are indeed noteworthy - The Nature of Wisdom: There is in her a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible, beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent, pure, and altogether subtle. *_ 17:57 - Ecclesiastes is about life without God but 2 Maccabees is about life with God... God is with us even on our worst days of our lives... God loves us and cares for us. Thank you for this reminder, Fr. Mike... I made it as a clip and will listen to it on my worst days (literally had many recently)- kzbin.infoUgkxuqSBp2bE8laUGEeyjxIQIQGj1knfOYxO?si=-yc9TMXZ16Ha5leU Thank you, Fr Mike and Team Ascension.

11/2/2022 Today is All Souls Day. A day for commemoration of all the faithful departed, those baptized Christians who are believed to be in purgatory because they died with the guilt of lesser sins on their souls. They need our prayers and almsgiving to be released into God's Love forever. Make a small prayer today, now; what a beautiful gift that would be.

November, 2023 Round Two I pray that people will ask for Masses to be said for my husband and I when we pass away. I have no idea how to guarantee this. Do I just go request them in advance and make a donation? If I ask others to do it, will they remember to do it. What do you think?

[@patmendell381]

Talk to your parish priest

[@roknrone]

I've been told, it's wise to have a hundred masses said for yourself..have it written in your living will.

[@elizabethhunter4525]

"the varieties of plants and the virtues of roots" I have always thought that the answer to most health problems could probably be found in nature. I sometimes ponder on what Jesus would have ate (he would not have ate rubbish would he?) milk and honey, dates and grapes, fish and spices, olive oil and bread, so far so good for me, nuts and wine, not a fan of wine but they do say red wine in moderation is beneficial. I would assume then it is pretty wise to eat likewise, if we look at nature, the Capuchin monkey rubs itself with a certain type of leaf, because it acts as an insect repellent, chimps also have found a plant that acts as a pain reliever. Well there are two of the three wise monkey's ! I sat here wondering who today we would call a wise person, I honestly could not think of anyone, so I will leave you with a quote from Einstein. "everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will then live its whole life believing it is stupid"🙃

Proverbs 25 -- More of Solomon's Proverbs 1 - Here are more of Solomon's proverbs, copied by scribes at the court of King Hezekiah of Judah. 2 - We honor God for what he conceals ; we honor Kings for what they explain. 3 - You never know what a king is thinking ; his thoughts are beyond us, like the heights of the sky or the depths of the ocean.
