I don’t mean to use this is a means for my own prayer requests. However, this morning I suffered a seizure which occurs rarely. I have not been sleeping well and got very angry with God yesterday and suffered the seizure this morning. I know the strength of this community and if you are reading this I would be forever grateful if you could lift me up in prayer I would appreciate it. Thank you and now I am praying for this community every day.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for you ❤
Praying for you!
Lord we Love and Adore You. We know that You hear every whisper of our heart. You recognize our Sincere Love and Faith in You. Favorably grant our prayers in accordance with Your Will in Jesus' Name. Amen. ❤
Thank you to all who prayed for me. So far my tests have come back normal and a cause has been identified which has allowed me to return to normal activities. I appreciated the prayers and I know they helped!
I lost my only son, (Daibhog) back in March 2000, on the day he was born.
We knew for seven weeks beforehand that he would not make it ouside the womb and we had him bapised before the umbilical cord was cut.
It took time but I now know and I feel so blessed to have one of our five children home with God the Father in His Heavenly Kingdom.
Sr Breige Mc Kenna told me a few years later, she was giving a talk in my hometown, that I have a Saint in heaven!! Never forgot her words.
This consolation, given to me by the Lord, through others, led me to become a Deacon, in Ireland.
I answered His call with, we had the hymn played at our Ordination day, "Here I am Lord....it is I Lord...I have heard you calling in the night....."
I will be ordained 10 years this year on the Feast of the Archangels.
Praise be Jesus and Our Blessed Mother.
Blessings from Ireland.
Deacon David.
🙏❤❤🙏
Thank you for sharing this. So moving! St Daibhog pray for us. xx
Praise God.
Thanks for sharing this. My parents lost their #6 child a girl and she was baptized Mary in the hospital. God blessed them with a daughter, my younger sister 13mo later. I have four brothers & one living sister and one sister in heaven. Your story has brought to light that I have a saint in heaven. Thank you as I have not been thinking of it in that way. I WILL NOW. ❤🙏🙏🙏
This is the first time I’m hearing that Isaac was probably 30-33 yrs old when the sacrifice was to happen. What a profound indication towards our father and the sacrifice of His only son, Jesus Christ.
❤

Why did God test Abraham, when God knew he would pass or not?
@@michellebarnes1063the passing still has to happen for history to play out freely.
My mom died on 12/20 and I am grateful to God that I got to say goodbye to her before she died and tell her I loved her and that she was a good mom. I told myself faith and trust in God while flying from Florida to Michigan on 12/19. I will always profess my faith and trust in him because he had grace and mercy on us and my mom and answered all my prayers. Thank you Lord for all my blessings. 🙏🏼✝️☮️💟
wow! the connection between Isaac and Jesus is just wow!
Please pray that our children remember how important our Faith and Church is to us...may you find them all back to Jesus.
I tried reading the Bible on my own for a couple of years now , and I was all over r the place , it was such a distraction and it made me feel like a failure. Now , I feel like I'm on the right road to prayerful reading of the Word . I needed discipline and community. Thank you Holy Spirtit , Ascension, and Fr Mike. & everyone else following along ! Adelante!!!
Praying for Fr. Mike & BIY 🙏🙏🙏
🙏❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! I never have read the Bible completely or in the manner we are doing now. I also never put together how this story of Abraham and Isaac is very much related to Christ sacrifice and crucifixion. Lovely to hear this and be on this journey with everyone! Thanks Fr. Mike! May God bless you all! God loves you! ❤❤
I am glad to be journeying along with everyone for a 2nd time. ❤🙏
🙏❤️
I am praying for this Community--the ones who walked this Bible journey already---the ones who walk it now with me and for future Siblings yet to find this amazing blessing. Prayers pour in for you too Father Mike! Jan 11, 2024.

Last night was the 3rd night in a row I didn't sleep due to chronic back and neck pain. I was screaming and crying and yelling at God in my bed. I was so angry that I wasn't going to go to Mass today. I listened to this and just bawled my eyes out and decided to head to Mass. As I was heading to a church I never go to, Fr Schmitz starting talking about "trust" and right when he said that word, I looked up and there was a huge sign in front of me that said "TRUST". It was the name of a bank lol. Felt like more than a coincidence. 🙏
Look up Athleanx on UA-cam. Possibly he has some answers for your chronic back and neck pain. It sounds like you and my daughter have similar pain. Her back literally locks up and the pain is excruciating. I have found that some of the exercises on Athleanx do help her strengthen the muscles and alleviate the pain. (surgery is not an option at this point) In the meantime prayers for your recovery. ❤️🙏❤️
Praying for you ❤
Jesus died on the cross and he took away all our sickness,pain, suffering and by the divine exchange gave us salvation which is a total package of healing,prosperity and freedom. In 1 Peter 2:24 scripture says by the stripes and wounds of Jesus we are completely healed. Believe in the promise of God and claim your healing.
In the name of Jesus i rebuke the spirit of infirmity and be loosened in Jesus name.
Have you tried acupuncture? It worked wonders for my uncle's chronic back pain resulting from a serious traffic accident, and also did away with my incipient rheumatism when I was in my 20s... Keep trusting and be blessed!
@@KB_2161 Thanks for the suggestion as in 2000 I was to have two back surgeries but I canceled them when I was told that I probably would not be able to walk afterwards. I decided to walk in pain rather than not walk. I have had two neck surgeries in the past and have been told that it would take at these four surgeries to even attempt to fix my neck. My neck is shot. When I lived in Tulsa, OK they had an excellent therapy department and my back went from 30% usage to 80%, That was years ago. The therapy around here is very wimpy, and a 60mi round trip. The Athleanx sounds like something that is worth looking into. Thank you again and I will pray🙏for your daughter. 🥰
I just started this journey and this is the first time I am really understanding the Bible. Please keep me in your prayers
Looks like we are cruising together. Prayers for you. 🙏❤️🙏
Coming home to the Catholic faith after being baptised in the church as a child and not being raised in it any further is such a blessing! I'm so grateful to be here! I'm so happy to finally read the true full Bible for the first time in my life. All the stories are here as they should be. Praying for everyone here, now and in the future taking this personal journey learning about our Lord.
So glad to have you aboard. Thanks for the prayers and I am praying for you also. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Father Mike! Praying for you and everyone here 🙏
❤🙏

Father Mike, this is a blessing to me in finding your podcast in youtube! Thank you!
Thank you Fr.Mike for the Bible in a year love listening
I am listening 🎶 to the Bible for the 2nd time in a year ❤️ and blessings to everyone thank you Father
This Bible study is such a blessing already, and it's only Day 11!
You, Fr. Mike are giving us such a gift. Thank you for guiding us through the Bible and helping us to understand it. This means the world to me. God bless you.
Father let thy will br done in my life amen
Love being a part of this community! Praying for you all.
Thank you for giving me a better understanding. How beautiful. How much Our Lord speaks to us and shows us how much he loves us. Thank you thank you. It is a blessing to me.
As an old woman I am just now trying to get thru the bible.
In my life, I've had some horrific things happen to me. To me they were and still feel as such.
I love the Lord and have been saved for many years but, I've always been afraid to read the whole Bible. My trust was more fear than trust. I'm still afraid but why I don't know. Because I know I've made so many mistakes and am not blameless.
But He loves me anyway. I pray that I can understand this thing in me that holds me back. That I can let lose this thing and be more at ease with my faith and feel what He wants me to feel.
My mind is not deep enough to grab hold of His wisdom yet.
But I'm praying it will in some way come to better understand.
Thank you Father Mike. Please pray for me on this journey. 🙏 🕊💜✝️
Prayers said for you rgober60. 🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤May the Lord bless you with peace, a welcoming comfort, a joy that you will experience and immediately want to share with others through Christ our Lord. Amen. ❤
I will be praying for you
Thanks be to God prayers father Mike amen
The Bible in a year with you Father Mike, is one thing I need in my life right now so good, thank you, taking time to sit and listen…God Bless you ?.
❤Lord, I ask that You extend Your wondrous healing hand and give her peace, the kind of peace that no one can take away through Christ Our Lord. Amen. ❤
I really struggled with the sacrifice of Isaac and now I’m starting to understand and connect. Thank you 🙏
Meeeeee too
This is a blessing to me. Very thankful.
I really want to understand the Bible. Thank you father Mike! I have faith but I want knowledge to bridge it all together.
This was great. Thank you.
I’m walking with you, though I have had to miss a day here and there. I didn’t find this until around the 7th or 8th of January. Due to circumstances with a child becoming very sick and having to come home to live I can no longer teach Sunday school or attend Bible studies at church. So this allows me to continue with a community. Prayers for health and understanding as we share learning more about ourselves, our history, and our precious loving father who will not let us fall. Amen.
You are a blessing to us Fr Mike. Thanks be to God.
I love that hymn here I am Lord.
The reflection is sooo beautiful.
Its as though a light just shone through the passage.
The similarities between Jesus and Issac is truly intriguing.
Thank you Fr Mike and your entire team.
REALLY!
Thank you Father Mike.
I really enjoy this Bible study. I have read the entire Bible several times but there are many places that are difficult to understand. Having someone explain things is very helpful.
Thank you Father Mike
Thank you Fr Schmitz. The relation of Abraham sacrificing Isaac with crucifixion of Jesus was just amazing. I would not lie. When things are going bad in my life I feel like stop trusting him but yes i cannot leave him. Pray for me
Thank you Fr.Mike!!👍 I love this!!💕👍
Trust in God is key, give me and all my brothers in faith, Abrahams faith and absolute trust in you
Amen.
Wow, I had no idea that the mountain range was the same as Calvary. That's amazing!
Fr. Mike God bless you because you are blessing souls. Bible study indeed. I feel like playing all the days.
Insight on Isaac's age is very helpful for this video. The fact that he carried the wood up the mountain enlightens all of us that he wasn't a small child.
Abba Father, we pray for the grace of Faith.
Jesus, I trust on You.
Wow, I'm always reminded of the words of Dr Scott Hahn who I heard many years ago say the new is concealed in the old and the old is revealed in the new. Now I can truely start to see the connection beyond the old and new testaments. Second year around feels so much better.
I like this ,the old in the new .
Yes, now I understand better what Dr Scott Han said, about the OT and the NT. "The New in hidden in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New" Thanks Fr Mike for highlighting this. Thanks also to the Jeff Cavins and the every brothers and sisters in the team putting all these together. May God bless you all always. Praying for you all.
That's an amazing revelation of Isaac and Abraham. I love my Bible time ,being so close to the word of God and strengthened in his word. Thank you father Mike and God bless all this community. I pray for a unshakable trust in Our Father God.
“The Lord will Provide” 🙏❤️🙏
The lord will provide
The Lord will provide
I will keep everyone in my prayers and I will keep you in my prayers
God's blessing to you Fr Mike and all following this Bible in a Year journey.
I do sometimes think that the Lord asks us to give up something that becomes superior to our love for him. I personally have had this experience and I really don't understand why. Not being a parent, I cannot fathom what Abraham thought when God asked this sacrifice of him! I do see the resemblance of what happens a couple thousand years later. Thank you father in heaven for setting the stage for us to live in harmony with you for eternity 🙏 ❤
I have never made this connection before...thank you so much for this...learning so much everyday
2024 Grest Adventure. The Salvation Story. Mother Mary help us to Persevere. God Bless us!
Day 11 ❤
Amen
Remembering 9/11. Years
This resonated with me in more way you can ever know Fr. Mike. Thank you!
Please pray for restoration t ion of families 👪 praying for all of f you, I love you Father Mike
I have been curious of Gods personality you are helping me understand it thank you
The revelation is absolutely incredible.
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
I am going through the BIAY for the second time, this helped me so much in my reversion/conversion to the faith! Thank you Fr. Mike and all of Ascension, such a blessing!
Wow this was good! Prayers Fr. Mike and everyone 🙏🏻✝️
Thank You Father Mike. God Bless You. I'm praying for You.
Thank you. Please pray for my family members Mercedes, Jerry and Max all battling cancer.
I too struggled with the sacrifice of Isaac. I thought it was God testing Abraham’s loyalty and faith. Hearing the explanation and the connection between Isaac and Jesus shines so much light on situation. Just beautiful!
That’s why it’s important to understand that God’s ways are different than ours and even though it doesn’t make sense, we can trust that his plans for us are good.
Bless the Lord.
Me too I thought he was a child. & it really replicates God the father giving up his son as a sacrifice
The reading shows for me that your love for God should greater than the blessings which he has given you always.
Amen 🙏.
Thank you Father Mike. This is my third time listening to the Bible readings. And must say each time i am learning something new. As for instance today that Isaac was thirty or thirty three years old. The same age of Jesus. Wow!
Thank you God bless you ❤️
Can’t tell if this is catholic or Christian im catholic my self im 20 and have struggled with drug addiction and out of work because of my back and am now turning to god to follow the path he has for me
Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac on Mt. Moriah is one of the most famous parts of Genesis and I think for good reason. As you explained, it sets the stage for what it means to live a spiritual life and to walk with God throughout the rest of the Bible. It also exemplifies the importance of trust.
Genesis 22 tells the story of trust. Abraham trusted that the Lord's plan was good and prepared for the sacrifice of Isaac accordingly. He trusted that Isaac would submit to the sacrifice even though Isaac could easily overpower him. He trusted that Isaac would return alive because he had faith in God. Similarly, Isaac trusted Abraham's plan in spite of his concern that they did not have a lamb for the offering. Isaac trusted that Abraham was righteous and submitted to the sacrifice. There were lots of little details in this story of trust that I had missed in the past, thank you for pointing them out. Additionally, I really appreciated the parallels to the crucifixion of Jesus. Just as Abraham gave his only beloved son Isaac, the Lord gave His only beloved son Jesus for our salvation. Like you said, God is not our enemy, He shows His love for us in so many ways.
Genesis 23 tells about the burial of Sarah, the matriarch of the Israelites. Ephron sells Abraham the cave burial site but offers to provide it for him. This shows that Abraham was respected as a righteous, God-fearing man.
Job 11 involves Job's third friend Zophar confronting Job's questions. He claims Job deserves worse and that Job should not claim to be pure or clean. Zophar lectures Job about the transcendence and sovereignty of God and claims Job should not question whether God considers the character of men (righteousness vs. wickedness). Zophar suggests Job should repent. Job 12 shows how Job is upset. He shows his complaints by sarcastically claiming his friends "are the people" of wisdom and asserting that he is familiar with their points. Job repeats his complaints from earlier about how his friends have mocked him. Job shows he recognizes God's power. As always, I find a lot of Job's responses to be very relatable. It hurts to feel that your friends are against you during an argument. It hurts even more to suspect that God is against you. However, as the story of Abraham has shown, the Lord is not our enemy. I look forward to seeing more of Job's spiritual battle.
Proverbs 2:9-15 reminds us that by seeking the Lord's Wisdom, we will be delivered from evil. I pray that as I continue with the Bible in a Year podcast that I can be delivered from evil to avoid the crooked paths of evil-doers.
Day 11 - 1/11/2022
This was so uplifting! My heart is jumping!
Thank you Father Mike🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻
Faith and trust. ❤
Thanks Father Mike for walking with us and support us towards Home,
Amen❣️ Praise be to God Almighty 🙏🏻
Thank you Fr. Mike. And yes, it is a Blessing. God Bless us all.
God gave us that something or someone special so we must trust in God that he will save us from destruction or death. God loves us through everything that we are put through. God allowed his own son to come to Earth and suffer through religious persecution and death to be raised up 3 days later to show his people that they are loved and that he was truthful. I believe in God and Jesus and will do anything to appease them. I am going to the Celestial Kingdom when I pass away from this world.
DaY 11, praise GoD! Remembering 9/11, rip
Thank you ❤
Thank you 🙏❤
FR., reading the Bible today in 2324. It’s like seeing it when it comes to what’s going on in Jerusalem and Israel and Gaza how hard it must’ve been at that time in Abraham and Isaac and Sarah all of their lives and their children and going back a bit Moses and splitting it or separating the water, how trust had to be the people in these countries are crying for trust are crying for help from the Lord let us all pray for them. They are our sisters and brothers.😢
Amen 🙏 thank you
Jesus was 33 .....seeing/hearing similarities and the stage set for the future just while Fr. Mike read the story out loud. It is unmistakable.
Great program!
Dia 11 ❤, serving THE LorD ❤
Amen, Thank you Father. Yes God is not our enemy. We pray for the Abraham faith and Trust in our families and in our communities. I can now relate Revelation how our eternal father and Son cooperate for our salvation.
Thank you for your comment.. that was an aha moment >the father and son cooperated
I heard Fr Mike say those words in regards to Abraham and Isaac, but it only clicked in my clearer head this morning!
God the father and Jesus the son...
Father, you're such a good reader. I wish to read as well as you. 😊
For a long time I thought the sacrifice of Isaac was similar to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. Now I know I got it. This was an overwhelming day that gives new meaning to the word "TRUST".
I need that trust
Praying for you father Mike 🙏🌹
Thanks!
Solid and Christological exegesis of a story that is so often misunderstood. Thank you Fr. Mike!
