Day 94: Christ’s Ascension into Heaven - The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

[@56Tyskie]

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen

[@LeslieMac-hc9vh]

I was in a faith crisis recently... wondering, anxious and lost. These episode have been a blessing and have reinforced my faith and removed my wondering, anxiety and I have found my faith again, stronger than ever.

Father Mike, before we get started, we are already anticipating blessing after blessing through you and Ascension Press and I hope that others join in offering even little financial donations and even more prayers. Super blessings upon you, your family, your fellow priests, your bishop, as well as your parish and online flocks.

[@bartholomewabraham430]

As we enter the most sacred time of the year recalling the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord for the forgiveness of our sins and for our justification, let us in turn pray for the grace to forgive others unconditionally and to will their good at all times.

[@andiebrodie3936]

Father, our hearts and minds are simply not attuned enough to Our Saviour and Lord to grasp what this means, the absolute depth of what this means simply evades our simplistic, worldly conception of what this all means - for now we must in total humility and trust, be so so grateful that we are blessed to belong to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - we know we are in good hands. Thank you Father x

Beautiful reflection on the Ascension of Jesus Christ. Such a blessing to have the opportunity to experience Mass every day. Thank you Fr. Mike.

[@theresa4544]

Thank you

[@annetteminozzi678]

I do so look forward to listening to Fr. Mike's CIY every night. No matter what crazy experiences my day has brought me, I know that when I get home I'm going to snuggle up & have Fr. Mike put my day back together again with reminders of how Christ died for my sins & how much God loves me. Sometimes it's still a little too difficult for me to grasp..but night after night, it seeps in more & more..til I feel I'm really accepting it. Thank you, Fr. Mike!.. for opening my eyes, my brain & most of all my heart..thump thump..💓💓 🙏✝️🙇‍♀️💜

[@2021-j2d]

The Ascension truly is a gift to us. Takes our participation in the Mass up to levels beyond human comprehension. Lord, purify us, cleanse us from within. Make us holy and worthy. Amen

[@robynfardell3007]

This podcast keeps getting better daily. I can't express how much this has helped to deepen my appreciation for Faith , but also helped me to realize the importance of building my relationship with Jesus Christ daily. Thank you Ascension and Father Mike. God bless you all.❤

[@glenapereira3492]

Everytime we participate in worship at Mass, we are tapping into not only what happened at the Last Supper and Calvary, but what is constantly and permanently happening in Heaven. We are already in heaven with Christ uniting our humanity to His Divinity in worshipping the Father. Amazing Revelation.❤

[@maryl.7184]

Yes, this is all so overwhelming in a beautiful sense. What we hold in our faith is truly incredible. God is absolute perfection.🙏🏻

[@roystonfernandes8305]

The Ascension completes the work of Jesus for our redemption. Seated at the right hand of the Father, He intercedes for us. He sends us His Spirit and gives us the hope of one day reaching the place He has prepared for us. This is His incredible gift of love for us.

CIY is an awesome podcast! Fr. Mike’s commentary really makes the catechism come alive! This episode about the Ascension gave me a wholly new perspective about the importance of this event, a whole new and deeper understanding of the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven! Thank you Fr. Mike!

[@rm-paradise]

Please pray for the holy Souls in Purgatory, they need our prayers. The Marian Press podcast has St Faustina's Diary in a year. Fr Roesch reads and reflects on her diary. 8-9 minutes a day. What a beautiful gift. Today we have 5 days of Lent for prayer, fasting and almsgiving, make them count. 4/4/2023

[@elizabethcronin3074]

Hello everyone & Happy Day 94!🙏

[@dianefrank3688]

Hello Elizabeth and glad to have made it to day94

[@TrixRN]

Hi Elizabeth. God bless you🙏❤️ Please pray for me. My Dr.’s office called me today to come in & discuss lab results on tests I had run on Friday. I don’t think it’s too bad. I looked at the results; my CRP is up but coming down, my Na & Cl were low but just barely, my homocysteine has been rising but I probably need a B-12 shot (I have Crohn’s Ds)& my Hgb was a little low. I was fasting that day so that could have accounted for some of the values. Anyway I think they’re worrying needlessly, but I’d rather that than not pay any attention to out of whack labs.

[@TrixRN]

[@elizabethcronin3074]

@@TrixRN just finished Mass & doing a Holy Hour now. Praying that all will be well for you.🙏😘

[@dianefrank3688]

@@TrixRN I hope your Dr. visit turns out okay. it is always scary when they call for you to come in. Like you said it is better than having a doctor who spends 5mins with you and doesn't really check anything. I have a doctor like that. My good doctor died of cancer and i haven't been able to find one yet. You have been very busy with prep for Holy Week and that funeral and hospital viist. Please get some rest and I will pray for your health and that you will have strength to carry out all your Holy Week obligations. ❤🙏

May we all know that God is by our side and may we feel His deep tender Love with us every moment of every day. My Jesus Mercy

[@sgrieger_]

These last few insights at the end of today would be a game changer if this was what was taught in religious ed and reminded to all of what is happening during each Mass. I feel like I was older when this was told to me and it should be unforgettable...something we are in awe of everytime we participate in the Mass. Thank you Lord for Your Ascension and the continual Love for us all.

[@R.C.425]

Thank you

[@nickk4851]

Christ's love for us in heaven is both human and divine. Let's ponder that whenever we can.

[@rm-paradise]

4/4/2023. Please prepare and think about praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet, it is for 9 days. The faithful are encouraged to begin it on Good Friday in preparation for the Feast of Divine Mercy, which is celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. The Lord asked St. Faustina to begin the novena on Good Friday. "Each day you will lead a different group of souls and immerse them in the sea of my mercy," he instructed. "Each day you will beseech the Father through my bitter passion for graces for these souls."

[@zeejones4152]

Wow - I am a few days behind, but as FM says "man oh man" - I am blown away. God bless everyone - thank you again Fr. Mike and the team at Ascension.

[@aldrinazamora1351]

Thank you, Fr. Mike! Wow!!! My heart is so grateful hearing our Day 94 - Ascension of Jesus into Heaven! About 4-5 years ago, during a morning Mass during lent, I experienced what Fr. Mike has just read- the continuous self-love offering of Jesus, as high priest! So, during prayers unto the consecration of the Host, I sense the altar was becoming more & more packed, and as Fr. Denis was lifting the Host, I can’t describe how heavenly the entire church turned into ( for me, for a very brief moment ), like heavenly beings, Saints, Angels filled St. Rose of Lima Church! I can not forget that experience, that foretaste surprise gift God gave me that day. I shared it with Fr. Denis immediately after the Mass & wow, are we both so filled with joy! Thank you, so much, Lord Jesus, for your Ascension into heaven, opening access to the Father’s house for sinners like me

[@TrixRN]

Wow! That was awesome, Aldrina. What a blessing ❤️

[@aldrinazamora1351]

Yes, @Theresa H! Thanks! So, attending Mass after that day has truly been so always special, I look forward to, truly a foretaste of heaven, God’s embrace while we’re on earth!

[@EugenieKikango]

Humanity united to divinity in the sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Thank you, Lord.

Day 94 takeaways: It is the Ascension where Christ definitely unites Humanity and Divinity. The Ascension completes the saving work of Jesus Christ on Earth by opening up the gates of Heaven for Humanity. When Jesus ascends into to Heaven, He enters into the sanctuary in the presence of God the Father on our behalf. When we go to Mass we are tapping into the once and for all sacrifice that happened on Calvary and is permanently happening in Heaven.

Day 94 I LIKED 1. @ 01:25 ' Speaking of Ascension, I'm using the Ascension Edition of the Catechism' RFLT - Ascension is once and for all. Now the Catechism Edition may not be once and for all for Catechising the world. The Edition will find newer and more appealing more revealing deliberations to address the common lay faithful that will pave to them to yearn for their own Ascension into the abode of their brother Jesus, our Father's house, heaven on earth ASAP. Ascension completes the redemption of Mankind. SustainAscensionPressOhLord
