Wow! My heart is so excited seeing them all. Can't thank you all enough for being part of my faith journey in finding myself and purpose in God. Love from PH ❤
You all made a difference in my everyday life with God. I was lost but I have been found learning that Gos loves me no matter what.💕

I love what Fr Mike said about adoration
What a team! Incredible
This was so awesome guys. Please continue 🙏😊
Just breathe. Grounding anxiety. I am going through Marsha Linehan DBT program in a secular setting with my daughter who has a physical disability. Public high school has not been nice to her. Bullying has gotten worse.
Ascension TH-cam channel has helped me as a parent. Thank you for this video. ❤ Hallow app has helped me pray more and more.
Next year I am trying the ascension press app again.
I love all these great resources to help me. Thank you❤
God, I wish I had people like these in my life. I wish I was one of these people. I long for friendships that lead me closer to my Faith and strengthen my relationship with Jesus.
My prayer for myself as well. I need a family of believers. Let's pray for each other. God bless!
All my favorite people together! Amazing! God bless them all 💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💙!
Fr. Josh is so real..... I enjoyed listening to him the most....doesn't seem to be a sensation like so many Catholic celebrities.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for doing this! May God bless you all abundantly always!🙏❤️✝️🕊😇
Seeing all of them here feels like looking at spiritual 'Avengers'. We are in massive spiritual war here brothers and sisters in Christ!!!
Love this sharing from the panel! May the Lord bless all their ministries 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for doing this. We are all on a platform to show & bring Jesus to the world.
I appreciate you so much for being here !
What a blessings, thank you Fathers & everyone in this episode!
I got to know Jesus more because of you, guys. You are all in my prayers. Thank you, Ascension for all what you've been doing!!! God bless! ❤
God is doing extraordinary things with ordinary people !
“ seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and you will have all that you need”
For the question of how to tell someone that the Catholic Church is the one True Church I would say that Jeff could summarize it even more by saying "study the early Church"
the best crossover episode ever! seeing my favorite priests together in the same video
You are so very much loved. Thank God foryou all. You are in our Prayers always. Thank you for all that you do for us. We are blessed by you all. 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generous gift! 💛
Think I’ve died and gone to heaven. The crossover we all needed. If catholics had the avengers, this would be it. Just missing Scott Hahn and Padre Pio, maybe Bishop Barron
If you’re adding Padre Pio, I would also add Bishop Fulton Sheen.
@@jessr1698 good call
“People are discovering the will of God for their life, and it is to live the life of Jesus.” [27:40]
“We...are taken up into the life of the Trinity...The Church has called this sharing in divine life 'divinization,' in Greek, 'theosis'.” ~Jeff Cavins, 'The Activated Disciple'
God bless!
“The church doctrine and understanding of theosis developed during those periods in which it wrestled strenuously to craft and solidify the meaning, parameters, and articulation of Christian orthodoxy...divinization, or theosis, was assumed as the ultimate destiny of the believer, and it was on the foundation of this assumption that the fathers built their theological systems of the incarnation and Christology.” ~Michael Paul Gama
Hit that like button God Bless
It's the Avengers of The Catholic Church
The collective work of these clergy & laity & so many others make these *crazy* times a great time to be Catholic!!!! God’s continued blessings on you all!!
1st class! 🥇We are hungering & thirsting for more of this 🙏
Not a Catholic, just a Christian, but good talk.
Fr. Mike Schmitz is the reason why I'm a better catholic!
And I hope I never give up. because truth be told i felt like giving up this year on love and on my faith
PLEASEEEEE Come to the UK
You guys were great and cute and I love you. May God bless you all.🙏🏻
I love how all these people helped me. God bless them all ❤
That was great!
This is great! Thank you all.
Thank you !!!
I would love to attend an event like this. Deo Gratias 🙏🏼
I love Fr. Mike ❤ we (the internet) are all so blessed to have him
This is so good...... thank you
What a great panel of speakers and it would be amazing if they came San Diego.
Amen ...🙏🙏🙏
Thanks ♥️ 😊 🙏
Awesome 💯✌
Well done
Now this is a pleasant surprise!
Awesome
Amen 🙌
❤
Someone explain to me how to LOVE a video? ;)
I wish I was there 🌸
Why wasn’t this longer ?
Probably, because you had to buy a ticket to attend? 🧐
I was sad that when Jackie listed the vocations for women, she said, "nun or married." As a 55-year-old single Catholic I feel like that implies that we are second-best. I feel left out so much in my life as a Catholic.
Oh darling no! You are single-blessed, a lot of women in my family are single-blessed and they do a lot to help generously in their respective communities. I was also exposed to a lot of numeraries at an opus dei center, some of the most impressive group of women I had ever witnessed! I’m sorry you feel left out, I think that’s an issue we really really have to tackle in church
Nothing against Ascension Press, but watching the videos has illustrated to me that I’m not worthy of God, and that God continues to ignore me, no matter how much effort I put into seeking Him
Mark, God IS with you. He has promised that and it does not depend on our worth as none are worthy. "Feelings" are not truth so just as you " feel" God is nit with you does not negate what He has told us. " Be still and know that I am God. Also be gentle with yourself, God has already declared you worthy and so don't compare yourself to others. We are all fallen in God's sight but he still loves each of us.
@@maryl8753 if God is with me, I would know that in my heart. Yet, my very simple prayer, which is in His will, has not been granted to me. Reading all the passages in the Bible that say God is with me, or God answers all prayers, isn’t enough for me. I need hard concrete evidence of that, and I just don’t have it. Until I do, my beliefs will not change.
Oh no, sounds like you’re truly going through an intense dark night of the soul. God is always with you and His thoughts about you is coming is infinite. Please hold on. I’ll pray for you Mark Antonellie
This is a verse I have on my desk that has greatly helped me because I also suffered from feeling abandoned, neglected and outright hates (this feeing had been growing for at least three years but has finally started lifting)
17 The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
What year was this presentation?
Father Gregory shaved his beard, 🤣,hahaha.God bless them
Can u please make a video talking about slavery in the church and why 14 and 16 years can get married to someone no matter how old the person is.
Cant ascend what you didnt received
As your protection from vanity, I would recommend that you consider your work with ascension as your time of visiting the orphan. The one who does not have and adequate or perhaps no spiritual father or mother in their community who gives them access to understanding the grace of God and passion of the Christ. I don't know I'm getting such weird vibes from the panel like a call for help for counseling but their function is to visit the spiritual orphan who has no one in arm's reach and instead go online, or ones who have reached full maturity in their area and need a deeper understanding. ❤ I feel so uncomfortable
Quand l'église américaine arrêtera de discriminer les homosexuels ? Soutien total à sœur gramick..
Why saved only by faith is not biblical father?
Romans 2:6-8
1 Corinthians 13:2
James 2:14-26
We have been waiting for a really great means to read the scriptures. Thank you so much.
Peter is probably turning over in his grave!
Why?
@@renitafernandes2678 He is horrified that he is lifted up as the head of the Catholic Church. He was never a "Pope" since you had Apostles, Disciples, Bishops, and Deacons!
Jesus told the woman at the well a day will soon come when you will no longer go to Jerusalem to worship but the Catholic Church demands you submit mind and will to the Pope and if you don't you will not go to heaven. They created Unum Sanctum, no salvation outside the catholic church.
@@renitafernandes2678 The Catholic Church claims Peter was their Pope from 30AD til his death around 68AD. Peter never preached or taught catholicism, he ignored Mary's existence in his writings. Around 47AD Paul wrote Galatians and in the second chapter he told us that Peter was only one of the Apostles to the Jewish People and that he, Paul was the apostle to the world. Paul told us in chapter 2 that Peter was a hypocrite. If Peter were the rock, the Pope why didn't Paul submit to him instead of going around and telling everyone Peter was a hypocrite? Why did Paul feel a need in Rome around 57AD that he wrote to Rome in Romans? Why did he not acknowledge Peter as the Pope there? If Peter was the Pope in Rome why did Paul have to go there?
Romans 9:31 KJV "But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore (why)? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
(The RCC has replaced the works of the law with the sacramental works of the RCC thereby not seeking the law of righteousness by faith)
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and ROCK (Christ) of offence: and whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.
(John 3:16 KJV "For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ in HIS real presence on the cross once for all), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Question Jack-
Since the original copies of the manuscripts of the Christian scriptures have not been around for many centuries, are the works of all the people from the early church where they preserved the writings by hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press and the reformation considered “good works”, worthy of salvation for Protestants, or just “filthy rags”? Which has never been a sacramental work in the Catholic church but this question for the Protestant would seem most important today if the Bible would have never been copied and those works would have actually been “unrighteous”. Sooooo….
Peace!!!
@@srich7503 You err not knowing the Holy Scriptures. It's not man or the RCC that preserves the Word of GOD. It is GOD Himself that does so.
Psalm 12:6 KJV "The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
He did in the Textus Receptus (received text) from which GOD's preserved Word in English is the KJV.
I'm glad you mentioned the printing press which GOD furnished to man just before the Reformation in which GOD's Word was translated and published and soon broke the vicious hold of the RCC on the people in order for all to know the Holy Scriptures. A true work of GOD. Oh, how that angered the harlot church who burned many of the reformers, who translated the Holy Scriptures, at the stake. Now, who would do that? God or the devil?
@@jacktracy8356 so if i asked you who wrote the book of Romans you would NEVER have said “Paul”? Really?
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
@@srich7503 The true church does always exist. The true church are true believers inhabited by GOD Himself by His Holy Spirit making the true Christian's body His temple. The church is spiritual not a palace with stained glass windows and painted ceiling in Rome. As a real Christian, I am forgiven of all sins by GOD's grace through faith in the real sacrifice of Christ shedding His real blood and giving His real body on an actual real cross once for all. No popes or priests or RCC involved. Also, as a real Christian, I myself with every true believer are the church and a king and a priest in that true church which is spiritual and eternal.
Note: 1 Peter 2:3 KJV "If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious (forgiven of all sins).
4 To Whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones (Petras), are built up a spiritual house (Petros/the true church), a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices (fruit of the spirit, obedience, thanksgiving), acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
Description of true believers:
9 "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him Who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"
Also: Each person that wrote the Holy Scriptures was inspired by GOD meaning it was GOD writing them. 2 Timothy 3:14 KJV "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
@@jacktracy8356 Sorry Jack, I stopped reading your post when i see you began quoting scripture and yet you had not answered my question about said scriptures. If you want this conversation to move forward with any fruitfulness and Christian unity it will begin there. There are way too many “opinions in the world today about our book, the Bible to play this game. Not going to do it. Answer the question 1st or play by yourself.
Is Jackie ever going to stop doing an impression of what she thinks poc women sound like?
I only have one question, but no theist has ever been able to answer it: Do you have any proof, convincing evidence, or at least a single rational argument for your god to be more real than all the other gods.
Seriously weird and offense (mocking blacks) first answer from Jackie.
Thanks!
