🙏 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.

My father is suffering so much from cancer right now. He is in hospice now in his last days. This was EXACTLY what he and we needed to hear today. Thank you Father for being such a powerful vessel of God.🙏📿
Bless you and your father during this difficult time. Love and light to you.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for you and asking my own Mother in Law to intercede for him in Heaven❤💙💜🙏🏻🦋
Praying for your father. God bless
Sending hugs
Sending lots of prayers your way❤️🙏
I needed to hear this today thank you father Mike 🙏I want to thank those who have prayed for me. I have a rare brain/spinal disease and have been bed bound for the past 2 years. Tomorrow I have surgery please pray for me that the lord will grant a miracle if it is his will. I am 26 years old. I had someone ask my name in my previous post, my name is Meredith. Thank you again and God Bless❤🙏
Will pray for success in your surgery please update us on your healing 🙏🙏
Praying for a successful surgery. I had two surgeries on my neck, and after a year I feel I have mostly recovered. This message of Father Mike’s makes me realize what my attitude should have been all along. I hope you can trust in God through your illness and recovery. God bless.
May God guide the surgeon's hands tomorrow. God bless you, and help you to have faith that He will take care of everything.🫂🫂
Praying. God bless. Keep the faith and stay strong✨✨
Meredith I will add you to my daily prayers!
I will start adding everyone who asked for prayers during Fr. Mikes mass, today’s and all of them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much Father for a wonderfull mass. I truly apreciate you. Joseph J. Benko New Brunswick, New Jersey.
I wished everyone a blessed Palm Sunday when I listened to WOF's message for today. So, now I'm saying it to Fr. Mike and his Front Pew Crew. Hope your holy week is Holy, as well as this week.
Thankyou Father and God Bless You! This was exactly what I needed to hear🙏
Wonderful mass, thank you Father Mike, The Pew Crew, Team Ascension. I trust God with all my heart, I’m letting God handle all my struggles. Prayers for all. 🕊️☀️🙏🏻
Wow! Wow! Wow! Lord, You have answered my prayer through Fr. Mike's homily today. I am humbled & most grateful to You! ❤❤❤ You are SO BEAUTIFUL Lord!!
"I can allow the situations of my life to make me bitter or I can meet those situations with the confidence that God will not abandon me" Thank you, Fr. Mike. God bless you always 🙏🕊✝♥
Is it correct to say that God won't abandon you? Those with the greatest faith including Jesus and Mother Theresa experienced being abandoned by God. However, it was temporary. More correct to say God will bring you back if you keep trusting?
Father Mike is a glorious gift! ❤
I offer this Mass up for all my deceased relatives and friends. Lord have Mercy on their souls Amen 🙏
Hello Father Mike. Thank you very much for celebrating Mass. I do struggle for a long time with knowing if I live life God gave me according to God's will.
Have a good week Father Mike.
Fr Mike, thank you for being our rabbi. You are a steady leader. Keep telling us what we need to hear, not necessarily what we want to hear. May you be richly blessed. Thank you. Claire.
Thank you Father for your sermons. I always learn something new.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻keep all young people in your pray
Thank you
Beautiful words, Father Mike! I needed to hear them today. Whenever I have doubts about God's will, I say, "Jesus, I trust in you." Always! God bless the Front Pew Crew, Fr. Mike, and all who are watching this amazing mass.
If I could give this homily 10 thumbs up, I would! Father Mike, your words hit a chord within my soul and actually brought me to tears. I need to be reminded to always trust in God’s will for me. It’s not easy, but necessary in order to live a life in God. Thank you for all your ministry 🙏🏻
God was speaking to me through your homily. Thanks for allowing God to work through you. I can tell you worked hard on that one. It shows. Well done. Prayers to you and the Ascension team supporting this ministry.
Today I am feeling so very low because of some circumstances in my life.Hearing this homily has filled me with so much hope,knowing that this is God's will for me.Thank you father for this wonderful homily .Please pray for me that I may discern God's will in my life.
This is amazing!!! The best sermon of my life!!
I sure needed your homily today. Thank you Jesus and Mary for looking out for me despite myself. May God continuwe to bless you Fr. Mike!
Awesome sermon Father Mike. Not surprisingly, I am left in awe after listening. Your sermons are just the greatest, honest and inspirational I have ever heard. Jesus, I trust in you and know that your will be done.
Really resonated with today’s homily. Thank you Fr Mike for what you do 🙏
Thank you for continuing to be willing to offer the mass this way. I first started watching occasionally during COVID when we could not attend in person. Once I could go back in person, I did not think I would need to watch again except to listen to your excellent homilies during the week. I am currently deployed with very minimal resources for Catholic services. While I still crave being in person again, this service has truly brought me peace these last nine months and kept my faith alive. Thank you, Fr. Mike!
Thank you for this Mass, comfort, strength and wisdom i needed at this time i am not able to attend in person. God bless you Fr. Mike and continue to bless all you do for us.
Fr. Mike, I was listening to your Sunday Sermon: The Simple Secret, on the Hallow app. Around 24:40(ish) timestamp, what you said brought me to tears. Because that one thing out of many faults, sinfulness, and wrongdoing, that has been my biggest fault. It has caused so much pain and struggles. I thank you, Fr. Mike and your staff, for what you all do. It has been a great help through my journey of growing closer to God and becoming a Catholic. I wish I could share more with you, but right now I just want to share a moment of gratitude. Thank you, God, for your mercy and love.
Prayers and blessings
Praying for everyone around the world because we are all in need of Prayer 🙏
Father Mike, I cannot wait to meet you one day! You are speaking directly to me, and i will be able to share with the World how thru prayer and surrender, God alchemizes our pain and allows us to see beautiful things come from it!! ❤💙💜🦋🙏🏻
The spilt coffee moment, or the stuck in traffic moment can also be a protective moment too. A prevention of getting hurt OR you end up meeting someone or something important over one of those moments...GOD's WILL!!! Just trust in GOD!!! ✝️🛐🕊️🍀
Thanks!
I was not able to make it for mass today because of my cramps. There is a lot going on in my life and those close to me whom I love dearly. Listening to your homily of God's permissive will is what we are going through right NOW is all the consolation I needed to hear. Thank you for gifting me with the word of Psalm 3. Happy Lent Fr Mike and anyone who views this message. Be blseed!
FR. Mike - a beautiful homily.
Seeking God's will has always been a stumbling block for me.
Knowing that my circumstances are God's will is illuminating. 😮
what a wonderful sermon!
Amen. Thank you Father for this message. Help me Jesus to trust you in all my difficulties.🙏
Good morning Father and viewers! Have a blessed week! 🙏🏻❤️
Same to you!
Fr. Mike when you said the words He will not abandon you, tears fell like crazy. Tomorrow I have PETscan to see if chemo is workin on my 3rd bout of breast cancer that spread even after a double mastectomy in 2021. I will repeat those words during my test. Thank you ❤️ God bless you 🙏🏻
@@angelag7090 Yes, repeat those words over and over and have a lot of faith. God be with you!
@@ruthortega5822 thank you did say those words today. I also shared God with another man John who was getting his first PETscan for breast cancer. He was scared. I did my best to help him and I played Gods message on my phone for both of us to hear. I’ll get results Thursday when I go in on treatment day.
I said this from 2021 with the 1st cancer, I really feel like God is using me to tell others about God.
God bless you Father,
Thankyou Fr.Mike for the powerful inspiring homily.. You are an inspiration..well crafted and beautifully presented are your homilies..The homilies are so VALUABLE ..May the Lord bless you abundantly in your priestly ministry ...PTL.
Amen! Great homily! God Bless you, Fr. Mike!
Thank you!
Wonderful Holy Mass. Thank you so much. And I miss Lauren.
R./ Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy
I tried to make it to mass and couldn’t 😢😢😢 please pray for me
I trust God!
I surrender my life to you, Take care of everything! ❤
Amen. Thank you for another great one🙏🏼
This is where I belong. I'm in tears today with this beautiful Mass. Thanks Fr Mike. I've been lonely ,but The Holy Spirit, revealed something to me and it has confirmed my understanding. Since then, I cannot think of anything except Our Lord, Jesus❤ I want to talk about the Bible, all the time. I've been listening to Christian Pastors on y tube but some of the listeners hate Catholics. I can't have a loving conversation about Jesus. They can be very condescending. Now, I listen to The Pastors but don't get involved in conversation. I pray each day on Hallow App, but don't know how to converse with people. I can't get enough of The Bible. The Holy Spirit wants me to delve deep into The Teachings but I want to talk to others about it. For example, I believe that Our Lady replaced Eve. So many hidden secrets. I want Evanģelicans and Catholics to come together." Blessed is he who comes in the name of The Lord, Hosannah in the highest". I'm in tears this Lent, mixed emotions as we are approaching His Crucifixion ❤. I love you, Lord.
Lord". Hosannah in The Highest.
Thank you Fr. Mike for a wonderful Sermon. 🙏🌸❤️🙏
Amazing ! Thank you Fr. It’s like a shot in the arm 😊
Justice first lord, mercy later
I pray for justice too
Thank you Father
Amen, Amen 🙏
Love in this world is the best medicine. Without love that God gave us we would grow in hatred against each other.
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 salud física y mental, y las familias. Amén 💙
Such a great message about considering our present circumstances as God's will by trusting Him. Also, the example of how God used The Old Testament Joseph’s misfortunes to make him great and save thousands during the 7 years of famine. Jesus also took the sins of everyone and went up on the Cross to save an infinite number of people. Instead of constant suspicion, we need trust. God removed the constant suspicion by sending His only Begotten Son to live among us and sacrifice Himself on the Cross. Thank you so much for your work and wisdom, Fr. Mike. Thank you, the Pew Crew and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow attendees. Have a great week ahead
Trust🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
🙏🏻🔥😇😇
Would that we had a pope today with the clarity, holiness, and faithfulness to the faith of this priest, Father Mike Schmitz.
Amen.
If it is God’s will, is it wrong to work for change? Sometimes my circumstances are my fault and I must work to change myself and my circumstances.
Amen
Jesus, I trust in You!
Fr. Mike is there any way the prayer to St. Michael can be added to the screen. That would very helpful.
Thank you for the wonderful Lenten journey learning about the life of Fr. Walter. Also you help explain things in such a way anyone can understand. I pray God blesses you
Yes, I would like to see that prayer on screen as well.
Many sayings ,we use in AA, NA, ALL RECOVERY 12 STEP GROUPS, ITS A SIMPLE PROGRAM FOR COMPLICATED PEOPLE ❤
Thanks
PRAISE GOD AMEN
Fifth Sunday, Hey ה: Look, Reveal, Breath and Aur, אור: Fire and Light, Father and Son! Ye are worthy that the Fire and Light of God enter your house!
Amet, Amen, Ayin ABA!
⚡🎉😘🧬👃🫁💖🧠👂👁️😇🕊️🎉⚡
Please father, SLOW DOWN!
Amen 🙏
I struggle to understand how God's permissive will allow me (as a young girl) to be sexually abused by a bad man and to be raped as a teenager by a boy. I am in trauma therapy. Please pray for me. 🙏 Thank you.
🙏🏻❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏. visit the Holly Sacrament too!
Prayers
🙏🙏🙏
Man's free will did it not God
Why do You do a call to receive the Holy Spirit ( Jesus in us)(Godwith us) during the communion. How many unsaved do you have in your Church? Do you do a call to receive the Holy Spirit in every communion?
So, for those with the Holy Spirit this is a rememberance. And those who do not have it a call to be saved.
Yeah about sin, it's not possible they're listening to you now, even dead,
53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
A beautiful call to unbelievers to believe in Jesus and have eternal life. Immediately receiving the Light and Holy Spirit. The source verse of the call to Christ in this Communion.
Oh right, okay, so Bob is you men? We've had this argument before.
No, we're here today because she had no rights, I have no rights.
Sorry we're out of time today, and tomorrow,
Sure. Bob would be better.
why does fr.mike have a beard in march. Usually he has it at november.
Good question:) Maybe it’s because he didn’t have it last November? I am just guessing
Maybe because it’s lent? Many choose not to shave during lent.
But what about child abuse?
I'm sorry they weren't permitted to marry into these particular people.
No, your arguing with the wrong person that this is judgement day.
Just like we might be in the last plague,..
Its difficult to be schooled by this here-
You as a true Christian Believer can not receive the Holy Spirit again? So, the Holy Spirit call in the communion? Every one? Lots of unsaved i guess.
I remember when u were in Juneau . Your nothing but a big A 😅
Brocuz, so like there’s this woman who thinks too nearsighted when doing the will of God. She often is told to do very simple things and then realizes it’s unavoidable the coming problems with doing these things asked of her. BUT these activities NEVER LEAD TO THE PROBLEMS THAT ONE WOULD THINK WOULD HAPPEN. For instance,the whole time she’s had to avoid any mental health connections as people are trying to label her insane, but instead being forced into a padded room, doing Gods will has lead her into facing greater and greater evils. Never really trusting herself that to just do this seemingly out of her lane kerygma,is a guardrail for her, a hall pass for her to walk wherever, bc when the kerygma is finally witness, it’s a clear sign to specific instruments of Gods church, and some how they “get it”...but they still might ‘Joan of Ark” her, and even tho she’s “not “ in her lane, and when her counter parts do the same kerygma , that’s normal verses when she’s does it, she should remember...if Gods asking to do counter cultural things, obviously He’s with her, bc he’s asking and that’s massively cool, right?! So in short, all’s good in the end. Cool, cool, thanks my brother from our divinized Mother. Agape.
Genesis 50:20. It does say God meant it for good, it says "goddess sea" meant it for good.
אֱלֹהִ = means goddess
So, yes, we definitely needs to learn who Christ is and who He is not and we need to trust Him when He says He ain't El. And, nor is He Yah- Weh. Both Yah and Weh are identified as Egyptian deities. We know from through study of the region that they conglomerated deities all over the place in that region like flavors to popcorn. So, we also know who Yah-Weh isn't. He isn't Christ.
All the rest of your sermon was beautiful and I'll leave it at that.
Thank you for your beautiful Mass and Homily. Please pray for me as I face a long back surgery in June. I'm trying to wait until then because my granddaughter is with me trying to graduate with her 8th grade class. She is a blessing for me as I have neck and shoulder problems which I'm trying to reach mmi before I have the low back surgery. If I don't have it, I will be sitting the rest of my life. I don't want to be disabled. Amen☺️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶
Thanks!
