🙏 See below for the Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Thanks for your messages and service to the Lord. I attended mass yesterday for the first time in 40 years, and you helped me listen to the Holy Spirit.
God bless you and keep you always in his house of worship!
God bless you!
@@joedonahue3746 Great job!! 😇
Rwelcome back
Welcome home!
Please pray for me I have returned to watching the mass after many years but I work for a Protestant church and love my church family. I am so torn because I was raised in the Catholic Church. God help me hear your heart. Thank you so much!
Praying for you🙏 Enjoy your happiness with your friends, and celebrate Jesus leading you back to your original faith in our One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! Who knows what this inspiration from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior will bring! Jesus could bring about your Christian knowledge to both your Catholic and non-Catholic friends who you hold so dear to your heart!🙏
@@christinawhite9256wonderful answer. God bless.
There can be no doubt that the Holy Spirit is working through you. Your sermons are a blessing to me every week. I lift you up to our Father!
Please pray. My family is very anti-catholic but I know that I must join the Church he established. Currently writing a letter to them to explain my decision

@@irenebrough8674 God bless you, Irene 🤍
Having the Heart of Jesus. Giving God our first fruits & gathering the fragments. 5 loaves & 2 fishes. Time, Talent,Treasures. What you have minus what you owe. Great example of pizza crusts Fr. Mike. Also of Max (Fr. Mike nephew) showing up by reading the Bible everyday for 15 minutes. Also, of how Fr. Mike's father cared for his mother during the last few years of her life. At the end of the day we must look back and see the high (what we gave to God), the low (what we couldn't give to God), and Godly moments (what God multiplied for us). Whatever we give to God is never wasted but only forgotten. Thank you so much for your teachings and service,Fr. Mike, the Pew Crew, Team Ascension and fellow attendees. God bless you all
Could you please explain. I really don't understand the aspect of gathering the fragments. How do you do that? What exactly are the fragments?
I'm at home with covid after witnessing at The Eucharistic Congress last week. Praying for quick recovery.
Praying for your recovery.
Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for Fr. Mike bringing Mass to everyone! God bless!🙏
Thank you and bless you Fr Mike and all those attending mass. Please pray to comfort our Lord from the blasphemy of the opening Olympic Games. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have Mercy on us and on the whole world. Jesus, we trust in You. ❤ ✝️
Thank you and God Bless
Please Fr Mike Schmidt to pray for my children guidance and protection 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please pray for me I’m in a dark place also my mom is on hospice care pray for her as well🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please pray for me and my 2 month old son. We are sick with colds
Every time I have been unable to attend Mass due to illness and take this service in I am left feeling that maybe in part my illness was necessary so I could hear your homily. It is always what I needed to hear at just the right time. Thank you for offering this service for us and for your sacrifices to spread God’s Word. I know you are praying for us and I (we) are praying for you!
@@str8arrowole 🫂 🤍
Please pray for all my family members and friends for God’s protection and Healing ❤ Amen
Father Mike makes you realize that priests are just like us
My husband has been watching your Sunday services when he has to leave mass with the kids (we have small children and two are ASD so they sometimes can’t handle it long). He has said every time he does, your messages speaks directly to him and his current situation (literally one day his back went out in service, went to listen to you in the car with a few of our kids and you were talking about back pain!).
Today I miss service due to Covid hitting our home. When I say it’s God wanting us to hear your message specifically, I don’t doubt it. You spoke to my heart and exactly where I am as I’m currently pregnant with number 6 and struggling financially and worried how I need to give more time and money to The Church because I so desperately want to. Your message truly spoke to me and helps me to see more clearly what God is asking of me.
Thank you for putting these online for those that are unable to attend Mass in person for whatever reason. Praying for you always! God bless you and keep you.
May you have a most blessed day, Fr Mike, thank you for this mass. Thanks also to the Front Pew Crew for your faithfulness. We do appreciate your work and prayers. God Bless. Claire.
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I felt God today during the spiritual act of communion
Thank you Fr. Mike. This is beautiful. Talent, time, service.
What a blessing.
Wow, you spoke to my heart ❤️. Thank you, Fr. 🕊🙏🌹🫂🌹🙏✨️
Thank you Father Mike
Jesus, hear my prayers. I’m holding on to my faith, as a single parent things are hard on me both of my sons are special needs and I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for them. I’m so ashamed. God hear my prayers I have faith and know God will provide he has thus far.❤️
There is no need for you to feel ashamed. I'm sure that you are doing your best ❤ May God continue to bless you all
Thank you father Mike! Your amazing!
And with your spirit. Amen
Thank you, Fr. Mike for sharing Sunday Masses! They are a lifeline! God bless.
Holy God, thank you for speaking through your prophets and the holy Scriptures. But, dear Father, I praise you for speaking your most complete and perfect message in Jesus. As I see the character of his life, I am drawn to you. As I hear the authenticity in his words and see them demonstrated in his sacrificial life, I seek to obey him and follow him as his disciple. Thank you for sending Jesus to be my teacher, my guide, my Lord, and my Savior. I pray this in his name, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God. Amen.
First fruits...fragments..
What a morning offering and evening examen. Thank you Father Mike!
Positively awesome homily, Father Mike. Thank you for sharing what your dad did for your mom when she could no longer do it. I admire a man who will be a caregiver for anyone, especially his wife. Such a true example of love!
Almighty Father, we beg You for an increase in religious vocations and holy marriages in our diocese.
Help us to be generous in our response to Your call. Choose from our homes those who are needed for Your work and strengthen us with the courage to say “yes” and to follow You.
Help us as a diocese, as a parish, as families to encourage and foster vocations to the priesthood, permanent diaconate, and consecrated life. We commend our prayers to our patroness, Mary, Queen of the Rosary, and ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Thank you Father Mike, for another enlightening and truly understanding of God's Word!. Give the best of you--‐
Pray for Jenny, Penny, Heather and Melanie. God knows why they need His help. 🙏
May we remember out first fruits and to gather the fragments. Thank you Father Mike.
I offer this mass for all souls in Purgatory and my family.
That’s an amazing sermon, like a shot in the arm! Thank you Fr. Mike 😊
Glad you are doing well. After hearing fathers homily perhaps you can give of your first fruits too and donate to Duluth and Fr. Mike's new church and student center!
Peace be with you. Love Tessa, Dova, Minotaur and Pumpkin
God bless all of you.

You crack me up, Fr. Mike! My nephews when they were little called the pizza crusts "bones" because they didn't like them. It was so cute but I guess you had to be there. Thank you so much for this message about giving and gathering. It makes me think more seriously about my service to God and how I can develop a heart like Jesus. God bless you and your front pew crew! 🙏🙏🙏✝✝✝
My favorite food is the Blessed Sacrament.
Thank God for your service and support blessings us to understand peace. Ty fr mike ❤

Fr. Mike I regret that I must change my mind ...I see that the folks I should trust still lie. I pray for the health of the Catholic Church.
Thank you Rather Mike ❤🙏
God is good, all the time!
People can seem to be fragments. Let us not forget to lift up and gather people for God. The time has come to gather fragmented broken people for God.
Praying 🙏 right now for him & family. God bless you all.
Bless you Father Mike.
Thank you Father
My step son wouldn't eat the crust...when I asked him why he responded "I don't like pizza 🍕bones🦴😂
Thank you Jesus for answered prayers
"You can have my crust:" that makes me think about the hemorrhaging woman who touched Jesus' tassels for healing. But it also makes me hungry for pizza, too. Thanks for Mass, Father Mike Schmitz. and Front Pew Crew.
Dear Fr. Mike, Last week you spoke of the Olympics. After what just occurred in Paris (the drag queen last supper) I am hoping you will address this. Many of us would benefit. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
So many people are going to make pizza today now. Me included. Hahaha. Blessing to y’all from Texas
Greetings Father Mike,
Key Thoughts :-

Prayers for me to make ends meet and a better job and medical insurance and leave addiction and get a car for work
Thanks
Fr. You need to have pizza from Brooklyn NY...fyi...youll eat the crust 😂
Thank you Father Mike xo
Amen 🙏 Thank you Father Mike ❤
Every week, there is something new weighing on my mind. This week, I decided not to attend mass. Why? I have nothing to offer. I've attempted to be part of the parishes here. It's too clicky. I can't find an in. I find myself in the chapel, alone, quite often. TY for miraculously saying exactly what I needed to hear for about the 30th week in a row. SMH 🕊
Try to join a church ministry? Lector, Welcomer, etc
Peace be. What does each of us have; what does each of owe? Each of us have Mind, Heart, Soul & Strength. Each of us owe his Mind, Heart, Soul & Strength to God Our Father in heaven, to Jesus Christ & The Holy Spirit our neighbors. We are each the 1st fruit but not by sacrifice as did Abraham learnt but by Jesus Christ teachings ---- render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's and unto God the things that are God's. See how lovingly at that hour Jesus was begging man to not kill him, to stop sacrifice and suffering so each of us are able to see, hear, walk comfortably upon this earth with Jesus Christ, God as it was in the beginning before disobedience. Amen.
Responsorial reminds of God's, God's comfort to seek to find. 33:34
Peace be. I will add, if our heart, mind, soul and strength we owe to God because he gave each such freely then the interest got to free--- Interest Free 🫀---- render your heart not your garment. Therefore The Catholic Church ties free practice is non-traditional, space age. I am paying to God ( Thanks be to God) for each Catholic who are practicing space age ties. That said, love cannot be bought and it surely cannot be exchanged or studied. To all seminarians, u were learning not studying Love because the Apostles were learning to love Jesus not studying him. Thus Jesus Christ New Commandment, " that yea love one another as I have loved you." Simple as a smile.
Not judging simply using as an example. If a man leading his fellow men into war is considered normal then the next set of world leaders needs to be not normal, like a fruit with a defect, a discorded fruit from the tree because of appearance, a person born with a defect that often smiles as God smiles no matter what. America Got Talent Comedy Section has showcased a few. Who more than them as president would know before hand what it is to live with no speech from the mouth in a country that is "having peace", lol! Those that loose their speech by law or by war will not know how to love another with a simple smile because most of them like most normal people live each day busy following the tradition of how to frown to self an upon another. I speak from experience. I was told I always had a smile on my face and that is what men wanted to take from me so they have been trying all kind of evil upon me make me angry. Lol, God love them so much He give me His Word to express His anger to those men who wants me to stop smile.☺️😄😁! A smile is not science. A smile is not law. A smile is not a grin. Too many Egyptian slaves prematurely believe the grin they bore before pharaohs, was the same they will bore before God and God will understand. Lol, oh happy day when Jesus was born 😅!
Amen ❤
Please pray for my son, he's lost his way
PRAISE GOD
Ofrezco esta Santa Misa, por intercesión de Nuestra Madre María Santísima, por las almas del purgatorio, las personas presas y los enfermos. Agradezco todas las bendiciones recibidas por todos. Pido por la paz mundial, la paz en los corazones, la salud física y mental, las familias y las víctimas de violencia y abuso. Amén 💙
My kids focused when they heard pizza & ninja turtles😂🙏🏽⚡️
YESSSS I got something in common- ganyan na ganyan din po ko; I wud give up the last slice of pizza even when I’m in a bus I give up my seat to pregnant woman or seniors😃😃😃🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜🙏💜🙏❤️🙏❤️
🙏🏼
2:36 the Gloria
Ty
😂Iim with ya, w/pizza crust!!
Dear Fr Mike. The ten percent MUST go to the local church, or ministries that are spiritually feeding us. NO, it can’t go to some charity like leukemia society, or some other secular charity. God wants the first fruits to go to His house, so that there will be spiritual food for the children
