[@dianefrank3688]

Hi I am in my 2nd time going through BIY 💛🙏

Praying for you all, please pray for me.

[@deanahalbert9426]

Praying for my Son who is trying to overcome the demons of addictions/help him realize that God is always with him! Praying for a spiritual, and emotional conversion. 🙏❤️🙏

[@catholicfemininity2126]

I like how Wisdom goes back and talks about Joseph, Noah, Adam etc. Super neat!

[@roknrone]

Day 307..let's do this 💪..prayers for Father Mike and all the BIY family 🙏❤

[@donnajeankeith7771]

God bless all of us and the souls of our faithfully departed loved ones on this All Souls Day! 🙏

[@rm-paradise]

Yesterday was All Saints Day - hope you prayed for your favorite saint. Today we Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls). Please pray for the souls in Purgatory for their stony hearts to soften and enjoy the full love of God in Heaven. 11/2/2024.

[@roknrone]

May the Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere..Jesus, Mary and Joseph we love you..save souls!

[@elizabethhunter4525]

Fr Mike "this road can be rough" now you have got me thinking about roads! actually after I had listened to this I started to sing a chorus I learned in Sunday School, the first line is ' I met Jesus at the crossroads'🚶‍♀ Picking up the theme, I thought which road am I on. There is a great song by The Eagles called The long road out of Eden, essentially it is about the US and the Iraq war, none the less it makes an interesting listen, and yes it is a long road out of Eden.🌴 So I am not on that Damascus road where Paul had his dramatic conversion, not much drama in my life thank God, lets keep walking ... the road to Mandalay where the poet remembers the love he discovered here, can't say this road is mine either, lets keep walking....the Appian way, the Roman military road, no, spared any war zones, lets keep walking...the yellow brick road, never been to Ireland, don't have any silver shoes and those Munchkins would get my nerves, lets keep walking...I think I have been on the Emmaus road. I grew up going to church, left in my late teens, went back when I was 27, and have been searching the scriptures ever since on 'things concerning himself'❤

[@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. 11/2/2024

November 2, 2024 Saturday. Here I am.

[@richie1027]

Like many cradle Catholic families from the 50’s, our Bible at home had cobwebs, although I can’t be certain because I never saw it. So, at 70 yrs of age,I’m grateful to have found my way back to the church and to have finally gone through the Bible. I don’t retain much info, and I got honestly bored with books of names and numbers, but keeping things in perspective of the BIG picture, I stuck with it ---like all ofYOU out there.

[@wonderwoman6232]

The same here. I am 63, amd just returned to the church in January, thanks to Father Mike. I remember very little of it due to serious memory issues. I will probably be doing this the rest of my life.😊

[@catholicfemininity2126]

Thanks for the prayer at the end. Was feeling heavily discouraged because this year just was awful. Felt like I went through a mini plagues.

[@The.Rosco.Mothership]

Wednesday 2nd October 2024. Today is Rosh Hashanah for our Jewish brothers and sisters. Hundreds of rockets were shot into Israel tonight. Let's pray for them and for our Christian brothers and sisters in Lebanon and Iran and all innocent citizens. May our loving Father Abba bless the world with His peace in Jesus's mighty Name Amen 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

I've been listening all year through my Google podcasts subscription, but today is my first day using KZbin. I never knew you could read along in the video version. Wonderful!

[@jameshcarrollful]

Same here; didn't know this was available until today.

[@veronicac6969]

I also love listening and reading with Fr. Mike on KZbin. It makes the whole process so much easier for me.

[@CosmoG.Spacely]

Yes, great to hear Fr. Mike give a shout-out to those listening on KZbin. As of today, the BIAY YT channel has 124K subscribers, and Day 307 has 2.2K likes. Just a friendly reminder to KZbin community members to subscribe and like as it helps the YT algorithms make the channel be seen in feeds. 🥰

[@jerseygirl2854]

Thank you God in Heaven for giving us Father Mike to take us on this journey through the Bible. I’m going through a bit of discouragement today and it really helped to hear Your word today. Father Mike, I’m praying for you and the BIAY community past, present and future. God bless🙏🏻

[@Love_Divine]

I feel so good. I knew all the characters from the Old Testament without their names being mentioned. How? Only because of this BIAY that I joined on 1st Jan 2021. I would never have known if I had not joined. “Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Fr Mike. Thank you everyone who has made this possible. God bless you all. In Jesus’ name, I pray today for all who are in need of His grace and direction to live in His wisdom. Amen.”

[@barbdonnellan6600]

I so look forward to doing this excellent bible study with Fr Mike daily since beginning of January. Praise be to Jesus that this has become available to us for learning Gods word in a lively and very meaningful way. Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff too.

[@annbrucki688]

AB. I am grateful to be walking through the Bible In A Year in 2022, it is a gift to me, my family and my dear friend who is studying with me. Thank you for your gift of this program. My prayers are with you all.

[@loydmcintire5954]

I’m praying for all our community, especially Judith Reed. You are not alone dear lady. God bless you all.

[@rm-paradise]

Carrying Dawn M's faithful message and mantle and a patron of this podcast to pray for the souls and the most forgotten soul in purgatory. Consider listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year on the Marian Press Podcast. Each day's reading is just about 7 minutes long. What a gift! 11/3/2022

[@tjf42193]

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.”

[@debbiegraham5585]

I've shared BIAY with so many, so happy this is happening these days, we practicing Catholics, Christians and those who aren't, are getting so much from the Holy Bible, like never before. ❤

[@marylou3034]

Thank you Fr. Mike and all BIAY followers. This is my second year following you.🙏 Now I am a year older so it’s more difficult to catch all these names and battles but thankfully I get the beautiful message from our Savior Jesus. Thanks Be To God.🙏

[@JakeWang]

Wisdom is a disposition of hearts, hearts seek righteous and just. Yet, hearts with compassion: a willingness to suffer with the others and ours own wrongs through the lens of our Lord. Then, with our relentless, unshameful hearts of refusing to quit.

[@uteme]

Praying for Jen M, Julie S, Sue K, Fr. Mike & for all who prepare & participate in BIAY. 🤲🏼🕊

[@donnapollock]

Thank you and God Bless you Father Mike. I pray for you and for all of your follower here on this Journey....

I am enjoying reading and listening to you Fr Mike with BIAY. Thank you, Jeff Cavins and Everyone with Ascension Press ❤

[@wreloise1]

May there be peace as I continue to study Catholicism…. “There is great gain in godliness with contentment;” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭6:6‬ ‭”

[@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!

[@dorothyswol6979]

These readings r great to listen and learn of what the Scripture say and remind us what we forgot in Bible schools , that GOD IS WITH US ALWAYS, GOD BLESS U ALL

[@valentinabiebie]

We are so blessed to have you, Father Mike! Thank you 🙏

[@marciaedwards7583]

Father Mike I hope you have some idea of what this blessed Bible study has done across the world. When you stoped during your prayer on Jan 27 to feel the need to pray for parents who have lost children, parents who cannot conceive and all who are experiencing childlessness in some form. The past 3 Mondays 3 miracle babies resulted from those prayers and God heating and answering. First girl born October 18, second girl born October 25 and a boy born Nov 1 on all Saints day. I have very strong ties to all 3 and we prayed that day along with the millions worldwide and God not only granted this miracle and all mothers and babies healthy. Praise God and May God continue to pour out His blessings on you faithful servant. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️💗💗💙

[@janicemulry8140]

That’s amazing! Those babies will all be turning one year old around now! Thanks be to God! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jillshorak982]

Fr Mike, thank you for this Bible in a year. You are perfect at reading and love your homilies too. You have a gift for talking. I bet sometimes you just don't want to talk! I have missed many days and failed at listening daily and you sum up the readings which is really special! Thank you! Will we be able to go back to the beginning. I watched the video with you and Dr Scott Hahn so blessed to have you online in my life!

Proverbs 25 4 - Take the impurities out of silver and the artist can produce a thing of beauty. 5 - Keep evil advisers away from the king and his government will be known for its justice. 6 - When you stand before the king, don't try to impress him and pretend to be important. 7 - It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.

November 1, 2023 Round Two 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)

Father Mike, I only listen to You. What would be doing the bible in your year. But I do not pull out my cat like Bible and read it. It's the letters are too small for me to see. What really helps me with you. Doing this Bible in a year. Since I cannot read very well in the Old Testament. They have the oldest hard names of cities and people's names I cannot even pronounce.

[@jeca5053]

Thank you, Fr. Mike! Any word on the Catechism in a Year in 2022?

[@dawnmireles2912]

November 1, 2023 I am looking for people to please take a moment and pray with me for Souls in Purgatory. Can you help? 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)

[@patmendell381]

I pray this prayer everyday: The Heroic Act….. O Holy and Adorable Trinity, desiring to co-operate in the deliverance of the souls in Purgatory, and to testify my devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, I give up and renounce in behalf of those holy souls all the satisfactory part of my works, and all the suffrages which may be given to me before and after my death, consigning them entirely into the hands of the most Blessed Virgin, that she may apply them according to her good pleasure to the souls of the faithful departed whom she desires to deliver from their suffrages. Deign, O God, to accept and bless this offering which I make to Thee, Amen

[@markroeckell3694]

Hey Father Mike! Love what you are doing. I have a small suggestion. I had highlighted my Bible with all the Daily/Sunday readings a couple of years ago, so when I follow along with you I see what the Church chose to emphasize. It's amazing if you just read them in order you get the highlights of the story. You think maybe some wise people thought of that way before me? Maybe. :) In any case, next time the Great Adventure Bible is published, maybe do that and highlight the readings/Lectionary. I think others would find it helpful as I did/do. The exercise of just doing it was also very beneficial. Just a thought. Maybe put a bug in Jeff's ear. Thanks for all you do!

Father mike does anyone know where the ark the covenant is?

[@brianmelville520]

I think "the old is revealed in the new". The old arc of the covenant had to be replaced by the new arc of the new covenant. And replaced it was. It is now in its right place, it is in the heavenly temple. St. John saw it.
