~Although I consider myself more of a spiritualist, I was raised as a Roman Catholic; however, I am still very much a Christian. Something in my heart called me to watch this sermon...it brought me to my knees in the most beautiful way & I had full-blown tears rolling down my face, by the end. Thank you & bless you~ 🙏
He emptied himself and glorified his Father, our Father...it just doesn't get any more human than our Lord, Jesus Christ. As a despairing little girl staring at the crucified Jesus, I found some connection with my beloved Brother of sorrows that consoled me. Jesus, as no one else possibly could, assure me that I was not alone. God is So Great.
I've never seen anything like this! Me and my daughter just watched this, I'm blown away. I quite enjoyed the music as I wasn't expecting that. I've pretty much stopped listening to music bc so much of it is just not in good taste but I love acoustic music and the way the message was presented was very well thought out and very reverent and holy. I'll be visiting my local parish soon God willing!
Wow, Father Mike, you never cease to amaze me. Your homilies are just the best. Your well chosen words, your emotion, your honesty, everything. I'm glad I found you and you continue to inspire me in your ministry. God bless you today and always.
Jesus! I PRAISE you! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I will keep faith. I won’t allow the devil to manipulate my spirit. I have two beautiful boys both have special needs. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. I recently started homeschooling them because they were having so many issues including bullying. So now my hours to work are limited. I’m fearful because every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. I’m so tired Lord Jesus of constantly struggling to pay bills and struggling to buy groceries. Please Lord continue to give me strength.
After watching this Mass I read your comment - and thinking about this / the homily a little later, I was struck by something about this homily that you chose to listen to out of all of the MANY Good Friday homilies available. I've been a practicing Catholic all 42 years of my life, and it wasn't until tonight that I heard about Simon and his 2 sons becoming Christians through witnessing Jesus' suffering. My point is that (though it's definitely worth discussing) a homily touching on not just Simon but Simon as a father of 2 sons being converted to Christianity, is quite unusual. And yet God had you choose to watch this discussion of this MAN AND HIS 2 SONS recognizing the Savior even during a time of suffering. I'm no authority on these things and could well be wrong, but it seems to me like God having you choose to watch this particular Mass was more than a coincidence. Maybe (and again, this is only my own thinking and could be wrong), by having you choose this Mass where the homily mentions a man and his two sons recognizing Jesus in a difficult time, God is letting you know that He sees your suffering and appreciates how hard you're clinging to your faith in a difficult world. Maybe it's HIs way of telling you He's heard your prayers and of thereby giving you strength. You and your sons are in my prayers. What a great job you're doing of not abandoning Jesus in a world where keeping faith is made difficult for ALL Christians - and while on top of all of this you're struggling and exhausted. Keep believing and hoping! 🙂🙏💜
That was so beautiful. I could not get to church due to illness of my granddaughter who brings me, and I am also not well. I watched The Passion of the Christ for the first time earlier. I will pray, and do the Bible and Catechism in a year. God bless you all!
For offering the Holy Mass..for the spiritual help and guidance during the Lenten season and now the Holy Week..I can never stop listening to the Seamons you present. You are an amazing gift to us and the best..May the Lord bless you abundantly 🙏 PTL.
My Lord and Savior Jesus, I ask in front of everyone here to please heal me of my infestations as well as any one else I come in contact with and to forgive me for all my sins even the most serious ones. And to everyone reading this please say a prayer to Jesus that he'll heal and forgive me in my time of need. God Bless Everyone and their families as well,
Thank you Fr. Mike!! Holy week, especially today always makes me so sad. I love you Jesus with my whole heart ❤never let me seperated from you! Sending prayers. Happy Easter. And Thank you Ascension Team and the beautiful angelic singing today!
I have been away from you my Lord Jesus for too long. You know that you have always had my heart and soul in your hands, but my actions have been led by the evil one. Please send your angels to walk with me and fend off the evil one and help to get me back on the path of what is right and pure. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Fr Mike in my country we get a police escort for the Stations of the Cross. And Palm Sunday it is wonderful we walk from one church to the next one in the Parish and culminate with Holy Mass a wonderful yearly experience.🙏🌹
Fr. Mike, I would like to thank you and Ascension for airing this on TH-cam. I work most Fridays including Good Friday. This is my way of being a part of church today
❤Thank you Father Mike. You are a very special person and God must be smiling down upon you. And….your mother as well. May you have a blessed Easter with peace and love. I’m so glad I found your channel….thru Hallow.❤️🙏✝️
Lord, as you are nailed to the cross today , you have been nailed with my sins and sorrows. Let me experience my healing and that of my children and grand son Nathan
Thank you for this mass Fr Mike, and Ascension. Happy Easter to all at Newman, Front Pew crew, and your missionaries. God Bless from NW KS. Blessings all. Claire.
And the singer was so wonderful. I looked for the song “In God I commend my Spirit “, but I could only find Orchestras or gentlemen singers. I will keep looking.
Father Mike, I wanted to tell you what I witnessed in the comments sections after the video of your Eucharistic adoration procession went viral on many different apps. I witnessed people moved to peace. Atheists and agnostics not understanding why BUT it brought them a sense of peace. It brought closet Catholics out to comment, A M E N. It spread all of the most beautiful reactions in greater number than anything I’ve watched transpire in any comment section. You all truly brought Christ to his people and I believe a shift of consciousness. It was beautiful and perfect. Thank you to all that were involved in the procession. 🙏💖
Great delivery as always Father Mike! If I may, I liked what you said during the Holy Thursday Mass about how Friday & Saturday Masses are not Masses but a continuation of Thursday Mass. Maybe change the written subtitle from “Mass w/ Fr. Mike” to “Liturgy w/ Fr. Mike” or “Readings w/ Fr. Mike” etc.
There is a tradition which states that the dream of Pontius Pilate’s wife, St. Claudia Procula was a nightmarish premonition of billions of people saying the Apostles Creed and chanting “sub Pontio Pilato” over and over, echoing down the centuries until the end of time.
Repulsive Isaiah 53: John Paul II shrine shows that Jesus allowed the worst sufferings for Himself willingly. Simon (one who carried Jesus' Cross) and sons, Alexander and Rufus show thag those who accept the defeated Christ and participation in His suffering are remembered more than those who are simply there fpr the blessings and healing. We must indeed accept all of the Christ and be humble instead of boastful. We must remember His suffering and live for us. Thank you, Jesus, Fr Mike, Pew Crew and Team Ascension! God bless you all and the fellow listeners
Beautiful singing throughout the liturgy. Assuming the singer is part of the campus music ministry... I would happily buy an album for prayer and meditation if she decides to record.
I tought there was no mass anywhere in the world on Good Friday? I did check on my local churches and yes none had mass only stations of the cross services. I am confused.
...........No offense meant, but after attending Entombment Vespers at the Eastern Carholic Church I attend for Great & Holy Friday, in comparison this is as lackluster & barebones as you can get, is this some kind of parody?
Iam an atheist but I will watch this mass because I want any sign from god ❤
You know how much Jesus loves you by how much he's willing to sacrifice.
@@janet6379 Pray for me please 😫🙏🙏💓
Watch Mass of the Ages, episode 1,2 and 3- that will make you want to become catholic. Promised!
Just look around you! 🙏
God Bless You! Jesus loves you more than words can describe.

I am chronically ill. Thank you Fr. Mike for doing this mass online.
I prayed for you, sister. I hope that you can find peace.
For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Jesus, thank You for Your unending love for each and all of us.
Amen 🙏
Amen 🙏 Thank you Father Mike ❤

That thumbnail is hilarious that pose you captured of Father Mike 😂 thank you always!!
The music is from Aly Aleigha for those who were as captivated as I was and want to look her up. God Bless!

My wife and I are wondering who sings in the background and if they have a Spotify account we can listen to. So soothing and talented.
Amen 🙏🏼 😢
Beautiful singing throughout the liturgy. Assuming the singer is part of the campus music ministry... I would happily buy an album for prayer and meditation if she decides to record.
Her name is Aly Aleigha and she has a YT page, I did some investigative digging to figure that out because her singing is beautiful!
@@Chelsea-zt4rk Thank you!
Yes. Amen.
🙏🏼
amen!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jesus open my eyes to see you. 😂
Thank you for this. I also want to know the songs that were sung please. The one singing and the lectors made the Mass more solemn. Thank you
❤️🥰❤️🙏🙏🙏
I thought there was no mass on Good Friday
I tought there was no mass anywhere in the world on Good Friday? I did check on my local churches and yes none had mass only stations of the cross services. I am confused.
I thought that the Catholic Church doesn't celebrate mass on good friday?
This was technically not a Mass in the sense that there was no Eucharist.
Holy Mass is never celebrated on Good Friday, it is a service.
@@marycapitao5702 Okay, just the title is confusing as it says "Mass"
Blessings! Who is the singer during this Mass?
Her name is Aly Aleigha, I had to look her up after hearing the songs from this mass!
Oh, wonderful! Thank you! Her voice is amazing!
Jesus wasn't crucified but it was someone else. It was all a CRUCIFICTION! 😮
Do we need a homily with ‘the Lords Passion’? 🙄
Yes.
No
.
...........No offense meant, but after attending Entombment Vespers at the Eastern Carholic Church I attend for Great & Holy Friday, in comparison this is as lackluster & barebones as you can get, is this some kind of parody?
Long and boring, let’s find a shorter video
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
God bless you Fr Mike 😇
Amen
🙏🏻
