    Thank you, Father Mike. God has given you an amazing platform to spread the Good News. I am a protestant who has been following your Bible in a Year, which has moved my life in so many ways. Praying for you and other faithful followers like you to continue God's work using social media platforms to tell the whole world about Jesus and his salvation plan for all of us.

    Its just so beautiful knowing that there are 100 of millions of people all around the world celebrating the same, mysterious eucharistic miracle every day in the same, holy way, as all christians did from the beginning till our Lord will come. God bless you all from Germany and have a great week!

    Please pray for people who work evening and night time jobs who want to go to Mass in person but need the rest/sleep to function at their work. Please pray also for people who work on Sunday. Thankful to have work, despite my disability. Thankful that we have Mass during the week. Thankful to be Catholic. Thankful for the Virtual front seat and Mass online. Thank you Jesus for beauty and goodness in technology. Happy Advent.

    Thank you Fr. Mike. I've been listening to your talks, etc. For years, as I was raising my children who are grown now. These last couple of years have been so difficult, as I fought a breast cancer battle, divorce, and even being arrested for drinking & driving, and a couple other felonies, that I don't even care to talk about, but after a recent felony, it is almost impossible to be able to rent where I live, but on Friday I got a call from a waiting list that I was on for an apartment. I have to turn in the application tomorrow. I don't know who will see this, but I'm asking for someone & anyone to please pray for me. I need this place. To God be the Glory! He has given me new life, and a new heart. I had no idea just how dark, the dark could be, and I never want to return to my former ways. It's so much better living on the brighter side, even when things don't go my way. It is so true, that Jesus'burden is light. I know now, just how much must love me.

    Love the message today. When one thinks of oneself as the main character of the story of life, we try to control everything and stress out when things don't go as per our plans. But when we accept the fact that it's the LORD God the Father that is the main character, then we allow His plans to be fulfilled. We must be more than average because God's plans are to make stars out of everyone! Thank you for your service, Fr. Mike and Team!

    Once again, thank you Father Mike and Ascension Press for making these videos available. I pray that I will be able to go to Confession some time during Advent. I was just diagnosed with left lower lobe pneumonia; have never felt so sick in my entire 64 years. But at least I know the reson why I've felt so poorly for the past month. God bless everyone here this first Sunday of Advent.

    Hello. I attended the online mass. Father would like to tell that the world is soo big so value the people who make you feel belonged, the Earth is sooo far from the sun so value the warmth we have. The sky has darkness, so value everything we have during this darkness. The world can be big, but Love can make it spaced enough to feel alive and loved.

    • @richelleheidi2793

    Happy Advent to all. I find it helpful to remember the words of St. Mother Teresa, "God does require us to be successful, He ask us to try." To have goals is wonderful, but do not underestimate to the power in being a person who keeps their promises, is honest, kind and respectful. God bless Fr. Mike and all who make this Mass possible.

    So we should consider ourselves mediocre ? I consider myself to be special. Special, because God has given me a lot of talents, good looks, an affluent family background, etc.
    When I special, I feel the responsibility to make others feel they're special too and to reach out to others and help in whatever possible ways can possibly.
    Whenever life gets hard and I dobt feel special, I find it hard to he blessing to others..
    What am I missing ? What do I need to know ?
