Fourth Sunday of Advent - Mass with Fr. Mike Schmitz

[@Tatianabella45]

*I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $130k every 4weeks! I now have a good house and can now afford anything and also support my family❤️*

[@edwardboosman9235]

How do you do it, I am interested?

[@Hannahbrigs]

Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately. I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of KZbin videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.

[@Tatianabella45]

Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested WENDY LISA KIDD She's a licensed broker here in the states 🇺🇸 and finance advisor.

[@DiyaSharma-yx2vo]

Oh Wendy I have heard about her too, I am happy she is getting the recognition she deserves she is really amazing.

[@waynebond5942]

I know that woman (Wendy lisa kidd) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!

I want to thank you Fr Mike as I start day 110 of your ‘Bible in a year’ it makes the Bible so accessible (no easy feat!) and is literally changing my life. From a person who hasn’t believed in God since the age of 13 to a 48 year old that is discovering what a naive fool they’ve been all along. You are a HUGE part of my journey (which is having a huge effect on those around me - like ripples from a dropped pebble in water), so thank you. For changing the lives of many people, through your work on behalf of God.💯

[@Cb489]

It’s life changing God bless

[@Lagunaticmom]

Refreshing testimony. May the Lord continue to fill your life with his goodness and redeem the years. I too, “wasted” 20 or so years of having a tepid faith. God waited, He never stopped chasing me. His kindness and faithfulness are everlasting. Praise His Name. 🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐

[@PatriciaConnors-nh5ee]

I am starting it on Jan 1st because of you!

[@HighPeakMultimedia]

@@Cb489 It really is and God bless you too. :)

[@HighPeakMultimedia]

@@Lagunaticmom Thank you so much for your words and sharing the with me. I realise now he was there protecting me all along ... I just never knew. I will never deny him again.

[@Jerseystructureunderboss]

0n 12/5/22 I experienced an illumination of conscience. I don’t think it’s any coincidence. I have not had a drink since. Praise be to God!

[@gdc6614]

The spirit of the Lord also came to me around that time. My heart opened up to his word and to his love. I turned away from the sins that were killing me slowly. I thank the Lord of the opportunity he has given me to be his servant. He has healed me.

Thank you, Father Mike, for a consoling sermon.

[@gdc6614]

I want to thank you for being a loyal servant to our Lord and through him you bring light to those who are in most need. I am sick and can't attend church until next weekend. Your sermon gave me clarity to the challenges I am dealing with. I don't want to be afraid, I want to put my life in his hands; and I want to put all my trust in Him. Amen.

[@lupesoto8998]

I offer this Mass up for all my deceased relatives and friends. Lord have Mercy on their souls Amen 🙏

[@marybethrebele9272]

Father Mike, thank you for sharing the memories of your mom. That is what my Dad was afraid of and sad about.

[@mikepope7507]

Merry Christmas Father Mike great sermon as always! Joyeux Noel!

[@ginacc1999]

When I look at the cross, I can never doubt His love and mercy. But if I were to drop dead, I feel that I would be so ashamed and remorseful that I didn't love as He commanded us to love. That I let so many stupid things get in the way of loving others with His love.

[@janefosha7847]

Thank you!

Your Homily hit home today Father. It made me cry for it’s truthfulness ❤

[@gdc6614]

Same here.

[@donnaostojski5478]

Thank you Fr. Mike for this made to measure homily. I suspected for quite some time that my heart was not working properly and this week tests confirmed that I have pretty serious heart disease. I felt at peace with this information. I know I will die but having it spelled out so clearly has put a different spin on my life and thinking about how I will meet Jesus who has been the rock of my life. Thank you for pointing out the need for confession to clean those hidden corners of my life. The priest at our parish related how his mother on her deathbed asked her husband "Have I been enough?" . When I heard that I sensed she was asking Jesus that question. It is certainly one I am asking myself now. It is a good question for all of us to ask ourselves throughout our lives. I am on my journey to 'sleep with my ancestors' and hopefully to meet the Love of my life. I want to be as productive being Jesus's branch as I can be.

[@paulamoe2699]

Offering mass for my family and all souls in Purgatory ❤️❤️❤️

[@17CW68fNv]

Thank you, Fr Mike. Great thoughts to ponder , over and over, in my heart. When I go to confession I always feel I should have said more. Thank you and God Bless. Merry Christmas to you and all at Ascension and Bulldog Catholic. Claire.

Lord, I thank you for Father. Mike as you work through him to bring us Your message! Lord, you know the fear I have is for the future of my son, who was born, as you made him, with Down syndrome. My niece has promised to care for him, but it should be his older brother who abandoned us for reasons only You know. I trust Your purpose and plan. It is just hard to let go of the human side of fear for my children after I am with You. Thank You, Lord, for all of the lessons you put forth to bring us closer to you. Merry Christmas to all.

[@johnsnow2347]

Thank you lord for hearing and answering my prayers in Jesus name .Amen

[@barbarawalsh2875]

Absolutely beautiful. Going through your mother‘s illness and her passing has given you insight into things that you had only seen through others eyes. It has given you great wisdom and made you an even better priest. I’m sorry you had to go through that we all do eventually, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not sorry that we had to go through it. I lost my dad at 11 years ago. I lost the love of my life 48 years ago, so I know these things. We are so blessed to have you as we prepare with you for seeing the Lord face-to-face..

[@bobkurland186]

Thanks again for an inspiring homily, Fr. Mike. "Fiat" is going to be hard, because I hate my sins and that part of me... how can God/Jesus love me?

[@empackmanmueller1725]

But he does love us that's what is truly amazing. We have a father who loves us more than we could ever imagine. That's why he have us the sacraments and most importantly the holy eucharist.

I go to mass daily. I am in the Bible study,- with Fr. Mike Schmitt. I am alone, not lonely, but alone, this season, as I have been the last 10 years. My 4 adult daughters are stubborn and don't like me since their dad went to prison, and JUST got out! The story is a 25, 27 year old story. I won't bore you. But I'm just... Alone.

[@gdc6614]

I'm sorry to hear you are not close with your children. Keep giving your life to the Lord he can only heal us. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Could anyone tell me the titles and/or artists for those stunning Marian paintings flanking the altar? I'd love to use those as prints in my home! They are a magnificent pair.

[@michaelhoward8664]

Never had to read Hamlet or any of Shakespear.

[@katerinafar]

it is interesting how people from the outside, for example protestants or even catholics, say that catholicism and orthodoxy are essentially the same, but I do not agree and I have to strictly choose one way or the other :). filioque yes or no, cross from left to right or vice versa, prayers one or the other, immaculate conception yes or no.. there is a conflict. one OFM tried to tell me it doesn't matter that much - but i don't see it that way. So I sit and solve "the church" :)

[@teresanwankwo6253]

Father are you saying it's better to die than bear the pain?. I shared this mass with my friend who's going thru unbearable pain😢
