  • 📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: tinyurl.com/yh...
    Welcome to Day 1 of The Bible in a Year! Today we start our year-long journey by reading Genesis 1-2 and Psalm 19. Fr. Mike Schmitz breaks down these readings to discover what the story of creation means for God's plan in your life.
    We hear everyday from our community how The Bible in a Year helps to capture hearts and souls for Christ. While we’re happy to make it free to our audience, it’s not free to create! It takes a significant investment to produce the podcast and distribute it free-of-cost to the public. You can make a gift of financial support to help defray these costs and enable us to keep bringing evangelizing digital media to all those searching for God: tinyurl.com/ye... Thank you for your support.

      How beautiful that you are here. Mother Teresa went through times of doubt and spiritual suffering. The devil is trying to take you away from your hope. Pour out your heart to God. He can take it and he will help you at your lowest. Even when you can't see it immediately. I promise you are made for great things and there is better ahead.

      You are not alone in these feelings. I believe there is a lot of spiritual warfare that God is allowing to happen for our greater good...to lead us to Him through exercises and fellowship such as this bible study provides. Hang on...if only to the thread of His cloak. It is in these trying times that He is closest to us.

    I am totally dependent on closed captioning. I was somewhat able to follow along on the podcast reading my Bible but when it came to Fr. Mike’s reflections, I was not able to understand what was said due to my severe hearing loss so that is where the closed captioning helps me 100%. The other thing that is good about this being on TH-cam is that I may not always have my Bible with me so I will still be able to follow along. Again,Thank you so very much for uploading all these with closed captioning!🥰

      Ezekiel 13:2, beware of priests who teach from their imagination. They don't have the Holy Spirit. It's a sin to call Mike "father". Matthew 23:8. Easter is not in the Bible, Passover is in the Bible. Christians honor Jesus resurrection and Passover and Feast of unleavened bread in the same week. Matthew 22:17.Exodus 12. Forced celibacy of priests and nuns, and forced poverty to give up their worldly possessions is not in the Bible. 1Timothy 3:2. Rosaries are forbidden. Matthew 6:7. You are supposed to use Anointing oil not Holy Water. James 5:14 and Exodus 40:9.

      I have been there with PPD, 3 times. Not easy to stay upbeat when you’re exhausted from little sleep, housework piling up that you somehow should care about but don’t, feeling touched out from constant feeding plus older kids if you have them. I get it. Now my kids are 20, 17, and 13, and I actually miss those days. Still depression and anxiety are lifelong for me (even before kids), but treated with meds I am definitely having a lot more good days. Teen years are easier and more difficult. Harder to comfort and guide them, easier because they do a lot more self care. Just remember God blessed us with a beautiful gift in motherhood, and don’t forget Hail Marys too…she gets it! Will pray for you. Hope you are doing better.

    This just took my faith/relationship to another level, quote "God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness, freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life," He wasn't lonely, or wondering what to do with his time.
    Prior to reading this I sensed/believed God made us because He wanted to love us. And yes, in this explanation clearly there is His Love, that there is no other reason but to share His blessed life with us. A kind of 'I have this GREAT existence and I really want to give this to you,' I think God may even be giddy (my human standard of thinking, which I am pretty sure I'm not quite capturing it in God's glory/understanding and meaning, since God's ways are not our ways) but He REALLY wants to give this opportunity to us because it is such a great thing.
    How cool!
    Anyway, I love (no, CRAVE) God more after this. Not only because He wants to give me something that He thinks is so great but that He does so in a PERFECT manner, that this is a PURE desire coming from nothing else, no selfish/self-serving reasons. I so want to be like God, to be completely unselfish and to view that experience as the best thing ever. I wonder what that would be like, to exist with that feeling that we are more to each other but not ourselves and there is so much in that - true perfect Love. THAT, could be happiness for us and we may not know the full extent of that in our limited human understanding.
    I want MORE God (as I says this tripping over myself on the way to God)!!!! Was that a prayer???
    Please pray for me. Specifically, I feel the need for speed, in other words, I feel like a supersonic jet wanting to head towards God, BUT I need the assurance of a correct trajectory - that I am headed towards God. I don't want to be going super fast in the wrong direction.
    To please pray for me for: I need the Holy Spirit, the angels, Jesus, God the father, Mary close and all YOUR prayers that my direction is right, OBEDIENCE, courage, mental clarity, the skills to do what God wants me to do, to HEAR Him when he is giving me an 'order,' the right almsgiving, need help with fear and anxiety too. Thank you.

I continue to hunger more for more Our God and his Word. I find the companion booklets the go along with the daily readings essential. Last year being my first, I tried to write notes every day then I discovered the companion booklets, much better. Welcome to first timers, may you enjoy the ride, and spread the Word!!!

    Day 1 completed. Thank you Fr. Mike. - Warm greetings form the UK. Praying for you too, as well as all priests and religious. Jesus, I trust in You.
    To celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God today 1st January, 2024, let us all consecrate ourselves to her.
    Ad Jesum per Mariam. To Jesus through Mary.
    Borrowing the consecration Prayer from the book "33 Days to Morning Glory" by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC:
    33 Days to Morning Glory CONSECRATION PRAYER
    I, ____________, a repentant sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my baptism. I renounce satan, and resolve to follow Jesus Christ even more than before.

    Mary, I give you my heart. Please set it on fire with love for Jesus. Make it always attentive to His Burning Thirst for love and for souls. Keep my heart in your most pure Heart that I may love Jesus and the members of His Body with your own perfect love.
    Mary, I entrust myself totally to you: my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions. Please make of me, of all that I am and have, whatever most pleases you. Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for bringing the greatest possible glory to God. If I fall, please lead me back to Jesus. Wash me in the Blood and Water that flow from His pierced Side, and help me never to lose my trust in this Fountain of Love and Mercy.​
    With you, O Immaculate Mother - you who always do the Will of God - I unite myself to the Perfect Consecration of Jesus as He offers Himself in the Spirit to the Father for the life of the world. Amen.
