- 📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: tinyurl.com/yz...
Fr. Mike introduces us to the Gospel of Matthew, including his genealogy, nativity, and the first days of his ministry. He pulls it all together to show that not only is Jesus reconstituting the kingdom in his ministry, but he's inviting us to join him in this kingdom. Today’s readings are Matthew 1-4, and Proverbs 18:17-20.

DiA 258~ absolutely amazing 🎉🎉🎉
AmeN 🙏
Praying for you Timothy trust in Jesus -really trust him he will not leave you alone
So excited about hearing Matthew. Some people, those that aren't Catholic might be confused about Mary's virginity too. Joseph never knew her. She remained a virgin. Jesus was the only child she gave birth to. She is a mother to all of us. I ❤ u Mother Mary. 🙏
14SEP2024. Day 258. Oh Lord, help us to conform our hearts to you. Help us always to obey you. Amen
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path. Be grateful always ❤
September 14,2024 Saturday. Here I am.
yes, amen
Day 258..let's do this 💪.. prayers for Father Mike and all the BIY family 🙏❤
I love the fact that when Jesus was baptised, we know this region is the lowest place on earth, this whole action was about his death and resurrection, and when he was transfigured God chose to do it on Mount Hermon, the highest mountain in that region. I sometimes see this bible like a spirograph, the patterns and contrasts that we find are just beautiful.
As you know there are denominational differences on interpreting the scriptures, in fact it wasn't until I got on here that it hit home so much, I had never looked at myself as a Protestant, rather a Christian who was Baptist. It soon became apparent, and on The Chosen page that the divide is alive and well.
All that is to say I remember watching a TH-cam video about a Mormon missionary who left his faith, after an encounter with a pastor. This pastor said to him "Go and read your bible like a child would" he did and it changed his life. I started to look up about perpetual virginity, and see that the word 'until' in the Greek is cited as proof. Although I like to delve deeper, this pastors words came to mind, I don't have the desire to argue the point, I just for a minute there became a teenager again😄
I need prayers right now. I got let go from my job today. And don't have a clue of what God's plan for me is
Been there, God got this. I know this for a fact.
Be glad and rejoice in the Lord, your Father who loves you.
God bless you, dear.
Do not lose faith, or faith in your abilities. Be vigilant in prayer & patience. ✝️
I am there now also. My 24 year marriage ended due to my husband having an affair for three years…I left everything behind.
@@erinduvic8579 I am sorry to hear this. Know that you are in my prayers and the prayers of many. Jesus is faithful, he loves you more than anything. Trust in him, he will always care and provide for you.
Ah yes, starting with the good stuff.
Day 258- The Kingdom is here Saturday September 14th, 2024 Feast Of The Exaltation Of The Cross.
Today’s readings are Matthew 1-4, and Proverbs 18:17-20. Deo gratias.
Rejoice in The Lord O my soul, I repeat rejoice in The Lord o my soul.
Lord I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof but only said The Word and my soul shall be heal. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. I do not know all their needs, but you do, Lord. I offer them to you with confidence that you hear our prayers. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, discerning, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand and revere & treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. May the Holy Spirit give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Please give me the grace to set aside my intellect and my know-it-all attitude and let your Word speak to my heart and my soul. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Thank you and praise you for the gift of perseverance and for nourishing us with your word! Amen.
Understanding the Holy Bible, hearing online mass, OLPS novena has made me calm & brought me peace & reconciliation within myself.
As a child was very sickly, never reached school on time, missed catechism clas & Sunday school. My family was distraught n all siblings missed Sunday school.
We are still distraught, the devil is always around 😡 but with your prayers my family will find peace & the road to Jesus. Amen 🙏
I sing it's me, it's me, it's me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer, not my brother, not my sister, but it's me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer🙏
Change begins with me.
Jesus meek & humble of heart, make my heart little bit like yours. Give me a tiny bit of your wisdom🙏
Jesus I trust in Thee🙏
Our God is God above all Gods
We have a Great Big Wonderful God 📢
Blessed be God forever🙏
Pray for me. I am praying for you.
Thank you. God Bless 🙏
Have a nice day.
Amazing episode today! I have always wondered why frankincense and muhr! You did a great job tying so much of the old testament into the readings today. It's amazing how much more I got from mathews genealogy today than the first few times I read his gospel on my own! I was blown away when I heard the name manassah, the worst king in kings is part of Jesus's genealogy. God can make GOOD out Evil! Thank You so much Father Mike! This journey with you has been amazing! I can't tell you how many times I have been lost during the reading and you explain it and open my eyes! May God continue to give all of us WISDOM! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
I love to hear the joy in your voice is you read the Bible to us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen 🙏.

Fr Mike I just wanted to thank you for changing my life🙏🏻. You have renewed the Catholic Bible and my faith to an amazing level. I can never thank you enough for your teachings. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you and praying with the Bible in a Year community. I listen on the Hallow App and not sure how to reach out and thank you. Hopefully you will see this and know how grateful I am to you! May God bless you and our community as well as all his children. 🙏🏻
Yes Amen. 👌
Same 😇🙏
Just want to confirm all that has been said + thank Fr. Mike for breaking + sharing the word of God with our BIAY community. What a great revelation to see in Matthew all that the Lord has promised us believers in his word. Praise be Jesus Christ. 🙏😊
Beautiful testimony. 💜
Same 🙏❤️
Thank you for referring to Archbishop Sheen's awesome work, "Life Of Christ". That book should be in every Catholic home.God bless you, Father Mike, and may God bless the soul of Archbishop Fulton Sheen!
Praying for Sainthood for Bishop Fulton J Sheen🙏🏻🕊✝️🕊🙏🏻
I can see the connections! Wow, 75 years of hearing the gospels and it is getting so much clearer. I do agree with Jeff that one time thru the Bible won't cut it. I will be reading the rest of my life. Thank you...
Wow, so Wow! I have not cried of joy today! hearing the great news of the kingdom is at hand - Jesus the King! Thank you Fr. Mike
Oh wow, so much information today! I went to Israel last year and our Spiritual Guide always referenced the connection between the Old and New Testaments where ever we traveled. Im going to reread todays lesson. It’s so beautiful!
This was truly amazing, had goosebumps all through the readings of chapter 1 to 4 of Matthew. Fr. Mike explained it so well…it was phenomenal!! I Thank God for Fr. Mike…he is truly blessed!
I’ve been praying for my granddaughter who decided she didn’t need church anymore and has left being with her dad and family. Only with her mom (ex daughter in-lawwho said you don’t need a church. My 17 year old granddaughter was on a mission trip with our church and others and loved it. Said she was drawn to tears at Fr Mikes talk at the conference. Then 7 months ago was told she didn’t need confirmation Or church after 3 months shy of confirmation. Please keep her in your prayers that she comes back to her dad who she was very close .He wants to talk to her about why she left him and our family but doesn’t. Her siblings are quite sad.we need help with prayers.
Praying for your granddaughter and your entire extended family members in this difficult situation. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
😢
Grateful Fr. Mike blessings to all.
Continuing my journey, Team Replay 💚🙏🏼😊
Oh, finally familiarity!! We are familiar with today's readings because we learned them a long time ago through our catholic upbringing. I knew about the gifts brought to Jesus, but not their meaning. Learn something new every day. Thank you Father Mike.

Thank you Father Mike for sharing the Bible for with all of us. It is a true blessing. Praying for Father Mike and anyone who is in need of prayers.
Father, may everything that I do this day, whether it be full of joy or pain, whether it be full of love or of grief, I ask that everything I go through today be offered to you just like Jesus offered everything to you. It is in his name we pray. Amen. 9/14/2024
Fr. Mike I have alway been fascinated by the genealogy of Jesus now I can connect some of the names. So excited
I've been following you everyday on a podcast app but had to find you on TH-cam to tell you how thankful, excited, and happy I am for you and Jeff. This latest Messianic checkpoint is terrific. And you're right, I do feel like I know the names in the genealogy. I'm a 6th grade catechist and this whole series is a blessing--big time. Wanted you both to know.
Thank you Father Mike. It's awesome how the great story all unfolds. God Bless you.

Round Two
Looking for people to pray for Souls in Purgatory with me!
According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory:
The Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey Amen 🙏
Finally understood what those three gifts meant..thanks fr mike
Amen
Who incorrectly spoke that today was day 257, today is 258. I am listening and following ❤
Thank you Father Mike! ❤️🙏🏼🌞
Shalom peace father Mike

What a beautiful account for Matthew.
So much truth in the proverbs.
Venerable Fulton Sheen was so right about Jesus.
Ohbi needed to laugh today!! & when I heard, yeah, give to a baby, gold , frankincense & myrrh, I did!!! Thanks Fr Mike
Praying for you always Fr Mike Schmitz! Thanks for everything you do🙏♥️
Thank you so informative, I would love to go to Israel, it is on my to do list.
I so enjoyed listening to this. Amazing !!!. Thanks you for bringing it to us this way Fr Mike. Praying for you and everyone here. God bless🙏❤️🙏
Got to know Mathew in the Chosen..He made me laff..Jesus asked him to help him write his speech for the Mount..And Mathew asked he why he couldn't be more direct in speech because he thought Jesus spoke in riddles...lol..But Jesus said some will understand and some will not understand and Jesus enjoyed putting poetry into his wording..no so simple and direct..Mathew was very direct in speaking to Jesus as all the apostles...All of the apostles did not especially enjoy hanging with Mathew..they still loved him, but would rather not work with him and Jeus especially matched him up with Simon( Peter)..lol..
🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
The intro with Jeff Cavins was helpful to me.
Thank you.
This rings true to a family situation of the day, God’s will has been done… ✅
🙏
Blessings
So many, many, many names.
Patience. Everything in time.
Be glad and rejoice in the Lord, your Father who loves you.
God bless you. Amen
I love this!!💜💝
AMEN🙏🏽✝️
Wow! Love it. Thank you Fr Mike! God bless you always.
🙏🏻
Praying for you Father
Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and said "all these I will give to You, if You will just bow down to me."
And Jesus said "I would do anything for love, .... but I won't do that."
🙏 Amen 🙏
Done ✅
Matthew is such an incredible Gospel. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ…
Amen ❤
🙏🙏🙏🤗❤️
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
“And behold, angels came and ministered to him”. Highlight the words MINISTERED TO HIM. So what does that mean specifically? Like, were the angels “informing” him for lack of a better expression? What was this interaction between Jesus and angels? I’m very curious and could talk about this all day.
The Bible in a year is wonderful! It has really helped me understand so much better. But why, when doing the genealogy of Jesus and you pointed out the women mentioned, did you not mention Rahab?
I asked myself the same question.
🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏
For the young man, just let go....
U need to pray and second ensure that your benefits (e.g., unempliiyment; severence) are in place for yourself and dependents. Then, start looking...

Proverbs 18
17 - The first person to speak in court always seems right until his opponent begins to question him.
18 - If two powerful people are opposing each other in court, casting lots can settle the issue.
19 - Help your relatives and they will protect you like a strong city wall, but if you quarrel with them, they will close their doors to you.
20 - You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say.

May I recommend the song Joseph's Lullaby by Michael Crawford. It's a nice song that is song from the point of view of Joseph taking care of a baby Jesus, and Joseph basically song Jesus what kind of father could he be to Jesus. It's a beautiful song
Just a heads up, the ordering of the episodes in the TH-cam playlist is mixed up here! Day 258 plays before the Messianic Checkpoint episode with Jeff.

The genealogy was cool, but what is the significance? It establishes where Joseph comes from but not Mary who is blood related to Jesus. Why not have the genealogy of Mary in the first part of Matthew? Mary is the one people admire and pray to, not Joseph. Please advise.
I had that same question
Many saints and scholars hold that Luke is tracing Jesus’s genealogy through his mother, Mary, while Matthew traces it through his adoptive father, Joseph.
-Scott Hahn, Joy to the World
Also, a lot of people pray to St. Joseph. It is the Year of St. Joseph after all. Devotion to St. Joseph is widespread throughout the Church.
@@isntthatdemintha
How should I understand the phrase,,Then he (Joseph) took her(Mary) , but he did not know her until the Child was born(....) "? At first reading this I was shocked and thought how could this be, I think Mary stayed a Virgin all life long?!
Day 258. 4/27/2022
The priest at my parish posits that Joseph wanted to spare Mary shame and death and that he decided to make himself the bad guy in the eyes of the public by making it seem like he had gotten Mary pregnant and then abandoned her.
Father Mike in Matthew 2:16 where it tells us that Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus wasn't that Jakob the father of Joseph that was sold by his brothers and taken to Egypt. Was Heli not the father of Joseph, Mary's husband?
Fr Mike, can you explain Matthew 1:25? 🤔
“The only baby born to die”.? I’m sure there are some who would argue that point. Though I understand why Bishop Sheen said it.
I think Shakespeare demonstrated the merit of todays proverb in his play “Julius Ceaser.”
Howdy doodle all…
Good evening see you tomorrow
