Hello from England! This morning I went to church for mass. After lunch I came straight here to do Mass all over again. Thank you Father Mike for giving us all the opportunity to take part in your mass no matter where in the world we are 🙂

[@anneszydlik2266]

[@MLA50]

Thanks Father. You're awesome!

[@NavigatingCareers]

I have followed your sermons, Fr Mike. I have even cried at times, but this is so powerful because I am a Life Coach who talks about the Growth Mindset and I want to relate it to my faith because first and foremost, I am a Catholic...thank you so much for teaching me how! In fact, at a certain point, you said “‘Kay” (which is how my name is pronounced) and I suddenly opened my eyes because I felt God talking to me through you. Deo gratias. All praise be to God!

[@Dani-jw1bi]

Please pray for me, my anxiety and overthinking brings me down and I have constant pain from them.

[@annm7438]

[@staineddragon5147]

I struggle with the same types of thoughts. Pray for me as well as I will pray for you

[@LoveeeeelyM]

I would love if Ascension Presents had bible studies 🙏🏻💛

[@nikkimitchable]

yes, it would be nice if they could do that

[@marilynoliveira-anthony5664]

That would be awesome

[@victoriatravers8247]

Maria Tamayo Oh Maria that would be wonderful.

[@nikkimitchable]

@@victoriatravers8247 i checked on their site (in description) and they have a bible study there, you could check it out

[@tobysaalfeld787]

They do. Our bible study has done The Great Adventure Time Line. Last year we did the gospel of Matthew and this fall Acts. I don’t know if it can be done as an individual but it is worth checking .

[@mariecarter5893]

another amazing sermon. i wish the studies on "fixed mind set" and "growth mind set" had been done when i was a kid. i was one of the "really smart" ones. when the going got tough, i dropped out. like the servant in the Gospel, i buried my talent. i also joked to myself "you're so dumb." and even though i was quite intelligent, over the decades, like the man in the sermon, i also ended up in front of a mirror saying, "i hate you." "take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ". it's a constant struggle, but we all have Christ the King, His Mother, St. Joseph, and all the angels and saints behind us.

[@timmyquintos6467]

​Hi Fr. Mike Schmitz! Greetings all the way from the Philippines!

[@AnimalsAndCritters]

[@michaelmcevoy5282]

I would like to invite who ever reads this to join me in praying to OUR LADY OF FATIMA for judge Amy Coney Barrett. That Our Lady will grant her victory and protect her and her family in the days to come. Ave Maria ❤🌹🕊

[@gizzyfrizzy1]

Amen! Did you watch Dr. Taylor Marshall's talk about her yesterday? It was beautiful! Yes, we MUST pray for her and her family, especially for protection from all the evil. Thank you for your comment too.

[@AG-wh6jw]

I too have been praying guys and listened to Dr. Taylor Marshall his thoughts were my thoughts exactly I’ve been praying full rosaries as many tines as u can throughout the day ! I’d love to join you! I’ve also been joining live rosaries like relevant radio at 5 pm pacific time and 7 pm central time with Father “Rocky” from Wisconsin praying for our nation

I didn't have planed to watch this mass but I'm glad that I did because I got the perfect message that my heart needed, God bless you Father Mike and everyone who helps to broadcast this mass

[@nutsanatolia]

Randall E same here! Praise God!

[@ximenaaleman1513]

God's perfect timing. I needed to hear this!

[@christinadenyse8203]

When a person develops the courage to be vulnerable, that is when they shine the brightest because it is in those moments they begin to realize, that they are finally beginning to let love into their life. :)

[@jeanetteiacobucci7624]

Thank you Father Mike, it was the most inspiring mass!! God Bless you and give you strength to serve in such a beautiful way. Amen

Amazing homily, as usual!! Thank you, Fr. Mike!! God bless you!!

[@Name-le2cc]

Thank you father Mike

[@vuhoang7109]

Thank you, Fr. Mike, for another profound homily this Sunday for guidance on how to discern between good and evil words in this world and to navigate through it with the Holy Spirit within us that strengthen us along with way. And thank you to all the staffs there for all that you do to make these online masses available to us. May God bless you all from Duluth, GA, to Duluth, Minnesota.

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

In light of Fr. Mike's very essential topic in his homily, I recommend that you all get Chris Stefanick's book called I AM. This book helps guide your thoughts to be those of how God sees you, as His beloved children. If you do not get Chris Stefanick's book, then at least watch some of his great videos or his Real Life Catholic series. May Jesus, Our Blessed Lady, and St. Joseph bless and keep you all. Thank you Fr. Mike and your whole ministry!

I went to church in the morning, but come here for better understanding.

[@TheBry101]

i was born with a stuttering disorder, an under develop heart that cause my body to be weaker than the normal person w/c resulted me not being good at any sport and affected my confidence when i was young. But God is so good that he turned my brokenness into a blessing. despite having a stutter i was able to get a job as a call center agent because i did not stutter when i speak in english, because i had a weak heart i exercised to make my body stronger and now at 30 yrs. old i do boxing and jiu jitsu as a hobby and i can compete anytime i want. today i'm more in shape and fit compared to my former school athlete batch mates. what ever disadvantage you have right now offer it to the lord. Please pray for my cousin Aubrey because she had kidney failure and there might be chance that she will undergo lifetime dialysis🙏🙏🙏

[@AG-wh6jw]

Will be praying for you and Aubrey. Wow what an inspiring story. Praise the lord!

[@AnimalsAndCritters]

Thank you Father Mike Please praay for me and my surgery foot aznd kidneys..God bless you!!!

[@annec6129]

I have listened to this homily several times today. As usual it was a very useful homily for the Christian Life Fr. Mike. I was hoping for an answer to the Supreme court dilemma. I get that both sides want power. I get that Jesus came as a slave. If Jesus was here what would he say and do about this situation.

[@marilynpagliuca1478]

Will mitchel Pray pray pray and it will all become clear and you will receive direction from th Holy Spirit

[@kathleenirish]

Yes prayer definitely works as what fr mike is talking about- our mindset is changed

[@lauraluxx8607]

I needed to hear this I’ve always been over weight and always wanted to lose weight and that’s a battle I’ve been having since I was little and I’ve been training with a personal trainer and I’ve lost over 30 pounds and that’s something she’s been telling me that I need to believe in myself and stop saying that I can’t 🙏🏽 I’ve always struggle in life in general I’m leaving things and plans half way done with Church ect. Please pray for me

[@AG-wh6jw]

You can do it Laura! Praying for you ! Pray the rosary too it will help everyday consistently. Whatever lies anyone told you about yourself don’t believe them it’s about them not you. I was told many lies by a parent but thankfully never believed them because somehow I figured out through gods grace since I was a little kid that that wasn’t about me I didn’t take it personally. That was about them which is why I was able to succeed in school. Unfortunately my siblings were a bit different and resorted to other self medication . Everyone reacts to things differently but if we can remember that that’s about them not us then it won’t affect us as much. God bless you!

[@billsd13]

I speak sometimes horribly to myself without thinking about it. Thank you for thi. ❤🙏

[@mssixty3426]

Excellent homily Fr. Mike, God bless you, I thank you so much - I've recently started trying to weed out those self-defeating thoughts that keep coming up in my mind. You've given me guidance on how to effectively do so. I pray for you and all Priests in your ministry.

[@tobysaalfeld787]

Father Mike, I went to mass this morning and rushed home to finish your 5 part series. Thank you so much for this!. I have often said that we see many people who have an unexamined life, and I was mostly referring to those who don’t do an examination of conscience. How Do I Look? And especially this last that focuses on the ways we look at ourselves with fixed or growth mindsets. I want to grow in Jesus Christ. I took a lot of notes so that I can go back over the series and absorb more of the message. God Bless your work!

Welcome to the study of the Bible. and the daily Bible verse. Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God. Everyone who loves is from God and knows God. He who does not love has not known God, because God is love, first John chapter four, verse eight and nine: For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone in whom he believes may not be lost, but have eternal life. John chapter three verse sixteen. God bless you . Have a nice day, thank you very much. Dear brothers and sisters. For your time .
