Day 24: Tears of Joy - The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

[@Ogbi-ig3nx]

What makes me weep with joy is my son's faithfulness to God in the Catholic Church it could have been otherwise

[@OliviaCortis]

Day 24❣️🙏🏻Beautiful Tears of Joy❣️Praying for all of you❣️God Bless❣️🙏🏻💕📖

[@faymckinley8546]

The story of Joseph n his brothers is so touching. He reveals himself n weeps. Can you imagine the brothers disbelief. Joseph forgave his brothers, inspite of all the circumstances in his life. I have learnt so much from the story of Joseph, to forgive, to trust God, to share gifts with his brothers. A Happy moment Joseph n his Father. Incredible moments of joy. Thank you Fr. Mike, God bless you n your ministry. Thank you Cynthia and the rest of the team, for daily updates and sharing the Word of God.

[@myronmaurer3868]

Agreed - what a moment of reflection for all of us and our siblings and our own families as parents now. We had an intervention this week with our two daughters and the Holy Spirit moved them to reflect, reconcile and talk amongst themselves. God is so good.

[@bettyelander]

I love today's reading. It's one of my favorite happy moments in the bible. Thank You Father Mike for bringing it to life in the way you read it! In Joys and sorrows give thanks and know that God is always in control.

[@myronmaurer3868]

Yes, he is and "I am ALWAYS with you".

[@janephillips8113]

God bless us all and Fr Mike, may our intentions never heard and answered 🙏

[@mimip154]

This is my favorite. I weep for joy that God is with me. And i pray that God brings all my family to Him, like Joseph's

[@elizabethhunter4525]

Beautifully descriptive that piece in Job, I love that line " the morning stars sang together" I wonder what they were singing, maybe Aquarius, or Catch a falling star, Twinkle Twinkle😆 The praises of God no doubt.🌟🌠

[@Charlielizard]

Dearest Father Mike, thank you tremendously for today's readings. I wept as Joseph wept for joy. Your words and voice are so very touching. I also wept for the loss of my two siblings who no longer are in my life. They chose to push me out and I am now alone. Not really alone as I have my brothers and sisters in my parish, a fantastic priest and this great group of people reading with me now. I keep all in my prayers, as well as Father Mike. 🙏✝️❤️🇨🇱 Chuck.

[@terriedra640]

Your story isn't finished yet, dear brother. Never underestimate the power of prayer for your loved ones, and you're so right. This is such a blessing for all of us listening and praying for one another. God bless you.

[@myronmaurer3868]

Chuck - I praise you for your vulnerability and the faith family you have found and now cherish in your life! God's plan B is always better than our Plan A.

[@marilynSnedden-fb2ic]

It seems that a lot of us are praying for their families. Our broken families. Those who have left the church, who are estranged from family members even their own children and parents. The list goes on and on. .. I'm praying for my family and will pray for yours. May God hear our fervent please. Amen ❤

[@jenc5371]

"We weep because we know it could have been otherwise." Indeed

[@hartfully]

"Who is this woh darkens council by words without knowledge? Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?" Some of the most powerful words in the Bible. Thank you for the way you read and presented it, Father Mike. God Bless you and all here for this experience.

Day 24 - Tears of joy. Reconciliation & Reunion. Old hurts forgiven & a family reunited. I pray for this in my family. God bless all y’all on this journey through the Bible.🙏❤️

[@VirginiasLearning]

Day 24 ❤ 2025 What truly breaks my heart and brings me to tears is the injustice in the world, the pain of sickness and suffering, and the heavy weight of survivor's guilt.

[@The.Rosco.Mothership]

Continuing my journey, Team Replay 💚🙏🏼😊

[@myronmaurer3868]

What breaks my heart today is the uncertainty is my wife's eyes as she battles ovarian cancer and a scan this Tuesday. What brings me joy is the love and faith my wife and I share toward God and all his blessings, grace, mercy, compassion, etc. I also ache for my future son-in-law and his doubt, remorse, etc. for his upbringing. May he feel our and God's love for him in any brokenness he feels. In Jesus's name I pray, amen!

[@LaurensiaRimanu-nb1fy]

What brakes my heart is that so many of my Nephews, Nieces and Grandniece are not married in the Church. Praying for their convention 🙏

[@JohnBoscoJerome]

[@laurieroberts9831]

What comfort there is in knowing that we all wept, that we all weep in hope, joy, and pain. I wept through prayer these past few mornings and today I will make sure to weep as I pray for all of you. God bless you all. ❤

[@btamp925]

What breaks my heart and leaves me sorrowful is the division in my own family. I failed my children. My son refuses to have a relationship with his sister and as a result, with the family. I see a young man having overcome a deadly childhood illness, a daughter having made some remarks to him on his fragility and my son not having the ability to forgive his sister in her immaturity….they are both adults now, but the sadness is as if the split was yesterday. So my brothers and sisters in Christ, please, I beg you, pray for my family….for my husband, my daughter, my son….that we matter find peace by the grace of God. I don’t know if I’m asking in the right way but Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy. …and I extend this prayer to all families….stay strong, stay united and live each other unconditionally….btw Fr Mike, the reading of Joseph is one of my favorites stories as well…..God bless the Ascension Team….

[@reesesha2289]

I send prayers for you and your family for healing!

[@ellensstory4429]

I just read this a year after you wrote it. I hope the situation is better, but I said a prayer for reconciliation just in case. I know family riffs are hard. It really puts a strain in those who want all to be reconciled. Especially Mothers. God bless

[@laurieharris1247]

What breaks my heart today? Our adult children being far away from their Catholic faith, our daughter to marry an atheist man in 20 days outside of the Church, and that so many other parents on this day 24 are suffering the same - the Cross many of us bear is that Cross of our children falling away from God - yet in that brokenness is joy, and hope for conversion- Just like I did about 18 years ago- so I am praying for all of you as I go through this second BIY year that God will hear our prayers and make our joy complete one day and lead our fallen-away children back to the Church and in our case lead Patrick our future son in law to desire baptism and all the sacraments in the Church. Amen.

[@chickenindoubleC]

I am praying for you, Laurie. There is a lot of hope for your daughter and son-in-law. Have faith that, with time and maturity, they might come to know God's love.

[@crazych3f1]

[@elizabethhunter4525]

What breaks my heart today? Israel and Gaza, Russia and Ukraine, and any other war out there. So much grief, lives cut short because we just cannot get along.

[@MTreatVO]

I weep for the lost years that shall never be regained. I weep for the current situation with ny ex and 2 brautiful children. I weep for the bad timing in life for all. But most of all, I weep for all this comment section who have suffered so. We are all children of god, yet we mist live through the trials and tribulations of being human in order to "learn our lessons" so to speak. I may not know you who reads this, but under God we are all brothers and sisters, and you are family.

I finished Catechism in a year 2023. Now on to Bible in a year. I have felt very challenged doing Bible in the year, it is so fast paced, and I miss the deep diving into a subject that the catechism did with such great beauty, but I am going to soldier, on and just pick up the pace. Hey you guys hang in there too...

[@TrixRN]

[@mariasanabriarubio4184]

What breaks my heart today? I’m weeping the loss of my oldest son since 2021. Today the question was so direct so I weep letting god know how I want to hug my son and weep like Isrrael and Joseph, years of Joy.

We are all here for you. God is listening and the Holy Spirit fills you with eternal essence in your times of sorrow. The pain may never fade, but you will be reunited in time. You are and yours are in my prayers.

[@roknrone]

Wow, I needed this today! The revealing of Joseph to his family, tears of joy for now God's plan was finally explained to them, I ponder on if Joseph's brothers remembered the dream he had about him ruling over them? The Lord makes straight, with crooked lines..🙏 what breaks my heart is how we don't know what the future holds! If we did, I'm sure most of us would be closer to God knowing that without his help and knowledge we too would have tears, but not of joy..be thankful for the stumbling blocks that lie ahead in our lives, for with God "all is possible"...prayers for all who are on this quest, for wisdom of our Heavenly Father.

[@myriamkanga8518]

Today I weep, because my brother went back home after 20 years. He was weeping at the neck of my mum and even knelt down crying praising God. We all cried because, we know that it could have been otherwise. Today, the same day Joseph wept. What a wonderful God we are serving. Father God bless, protect and glorify Himself mightily in your and all this awesome community. Well done Father for being obedient to God's calling and inspiration.

[@carolhensen8005]

Powerful message Father Mike Thank you for this message God Bless you….

[@amakaihuoma142]

What breaks my heart today is my infertility for so many years, 17 years now. I so much want to be a mother but God has not made this happen for me yet. I will be 46 this May and still have hopes that soon I may know what it feels like to carry a child. I am so broken that I have constant pregnancy envy/jealousy. Even when I am happy for someone who is pregnant, I feel so sad for myself and that overshadows the joy I feel for that person. Lord please have mercy on me and let me carry a child too, just like you bless other women. Please remember me Lord God Almighty and wipe my tears. AMEN! Thank you so much Lord.

God bless people like Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins, Nicky Gumble, and so many more I could list - who are maximizing the opportunity of the internet to reach millions of people to hear God’s word. 🙏🙏🙏 I find it awesome and inspirational.

[@magdaannahandley5185]

I was just thinking that I haven't said anything about myself. I've been born a catholic but I spent about 20yrs away from the church. I've just come back in the last 4 or 5 years. I have been in a wheelchair since I was nearly 21 and now I'm 51. I have got great faith in God. I feel like I can relate to our friend Job. I am often in much pain, but I know that God has a reason for it. Whatever his reason is!? I love listening to your explanations as we go. Love Anna xx

[@laurieharris1247]

“We weep because we know it could have been otherwise.” That’s what I’m praying for today

[@Hallow334]

I can see how one could look upon something and be joyous because the situation could have ended differently, but that isn't why I weep when joyous. I weep because the way I look at it is anything that is joyous is a gift from God. I am an empath so I have the blessing/curse (depending on the situation) of experiencing the emotions of others, whether good or bad. I will weep at something joyous out of guilt or the feeling of unworthiness that God, in his infinite goodness, saw fit to bless me with joy, even though I did not deserve it. I will weep at seeing joy in others as a result of someone else's kind act. I will weep if I were to give a gift to or do something for someone and that person starts weeping. I guess that could be explained as weeping as a result of someone else's gratitude or thankfulness for something I did. I think anything good and pure and done with caring and/or love could possibly have that affect on me.

[@dalewrightson9980]

I pray for Father Mike, and for all those that are participating in the bible in a year. God bless all of us and help us to grow in faith as we read from your word. Amen.

[@MIAFL305]

Wow-I know I was meant to hear this today. I had a falling out with my eldest brother and have stopped talking to him for 2 years.

[@francinahard8341]

Fr Mike, thank you for this journey. I always get very emotional when I read this part of Genesis - where Judas offered Himself as ransom for his brother Benjamin and when Joseph could not hold it anymore and weeps. Two weeks ago, we read this during the weekday Holy Mass. I was chocking, trying my best not to cry. This is one of the best scenes in Genesis.

[@RWAquariumPages]

very touching story about crying for joy and reconciliation, quite an interesting story about Joesph

[@claredate]

I also believe that we weep because the awareness that it could have been otherwise leads to a deep and overwhelming GRATITUDE to the goodness of the Lord that it was not made so, and awareness of the sheer gift of the moment. Of the utter abundance of His Mercy, that He would give us such reprieve, such joy, such a moment out of nothing but His Love for us and His desire for us. It is this gratitude that wells up inside of us, and is so overwhelming that it comes out in copious tears. It is overwhelming because it is our small response to the overwhelming and over-abundant GIFT of God's Mercy. We are incapable of containing it, of holding it back. In those moments, we ARE gratitude. It becomes our being. And so we weep, from our littleness and our awareness that God IS SO GOOD.

[@alicemeyerhoff3356]

Well said!

[@MrDarshD]

Fr. Mike is right. This story of reconciliation in the old testament Joseph’s family and Joseph’s forgiveness makes Joseph’s story among the best from the Bible. It’s an example of God’s grace and God’s grand plans. Pharaoh inviting Joseph’s family to live in Egypt shows how God establishes a family or group due to the righteousness of one member. This settlement in Egypt also fulfills the word of God by helping Jacob to be fruitful in a land where he was a stranger. Our lives are indeed not perfect and we don’t often get such reconciliations but we can try to be like Joseph and forgive yet stay wise and faithful to God. Job’s part from the video shows us how God is the master of all creation and we should assume that for every small or tricky thing, there must be something that God wants out of it for our own good. The proverbs again remind us to follow the instructions of God . This was great and I hope everyone gets happiness and peace despite hardships just like Joseph. May all of us have a lot of reconciliations in life! Thank you, Fr. Mike and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners

What a flip from jailing and trolling his brothers to humility towards God and saving them. His dream from his youth finally came to pass!

Thank you for this. I broke my wrist and I have time to do this study. So glad🎉. Unfortunately my whole life me and my mom have gone in and out of having a relationship. Words that she said to me hurt her and words I said to her hurt her. She used the Bible as her weapon which is wrong. Joseph wept, but he never told his brothers you did this because Satan is in your life. Unfortunately that's what my mom did and I'm so sad. God is in my heart and life and I'm very sad she can't see it l. She just sees the hurt I caused her. 😢 no forgiveness.

I can understand your explanation of tears as it could have turned out different. God is so good. . What breaks my heart today is knowing that we have to die. I don't want Jacob to die . Or anyone. Where do we go heaven. Will we all know each other. Will I meet Jacob,Joseph . I am going through fear past couple of years ,I don't know why.

Aw, Sweet Joseph, weeping comes straight from the heart, could’ve been otherwise however awareness... meh... What joy breaks your heart my today? My answer would be not having more time with my five siblings that have passed...and especially the pain my Momma has endured...please God, give her the healing from the loss of her loved ones... along with the rest of us... Amen 💜💜💜

It breaks my heart when Catholic and long-standing prolife elected officials cave to pressure and back out of commitments to advance the voice of life. I grieve for them.

What a wonderful encounter between Joseph and his family. This is so touching. A good lesson in forgiving. Happy tears are part of life as well as sad tears. The emotion in Father Mike's voice gives the readings more meaning.

So much people turn their back on Go's, not teaching the children about God😢

We weep because of joy. Lord is with us. He protects us and carries us around in His arms. Thank you Jesus, Priase you Jesus.

My heart is breaking for my daughter who has walked from her faith. My heart breaks for my son who has faith, but a lot of anger. I pray for them, to find their way.

Never give up on your children, continue to pray for them. You are not alone.

I also turned away from God, though I still continued to believe in Him. My mom and friend have always prayed for me. Now, I found my way back to Christ. So continue to pray for your children. I will pray for them as well. God is a good shepherd. He will pursue them relentlessly.

I cry everytime I read the story of Joseph!
