1. Count your blessings. 2. Have an attitude of gratitude. 3. Take the next step and do something with the gifts God has given you. - - - Awesome advice, once again, Fr. Mike! Thanks!!! (that's me being grateful for you and the Ascension Press team) :D
Today is Thanksgiving Day. My brother and I will have our version of Thanksgiving dinner. My brother has been disabled for 43 years. We thank God for our blessings each day. I thank God for him , he has shown me how God helps you when life goes array. Thank God from whom all Blessings flow, Thank Father, Son and Host Ghost
Thank you. I discovered a video of yours by what I would normally say was happenstance, but I feel like God put it there for me. I am a wife, mother of 4 kids, and I work. I have felt so overwhelmed. I have been watching your videos this week, and it has fed my spirit more than anything recently. You may never read this, and that is fine. I wanted to let it be known though, that I am beyond blessed by these, and that I am thankful God led me to these and that they were available right when I needed them. Thanks.
I feel the same way I've been feeling lost in my spiritual life and then a friend helped me discover these videos with Father Mike and I immediately felt so blessed. Thank you Father Mike and Ascension Presents for all your wonderful and hard work, you may not notice it but it's helping to change the lives of thousands of Catholics *heart* I just wish more people could see these videos, people who desperately need them
on my way to work while I'm waiting for the bus. I Thankful for the fact I can listen to it and it brings me joy while listening to it before work. Thank-you Father Mike.
I just showed this at a prayer service today for 600+ students and staff at a catholic High School. Today's Gospel was Luke 4, and I was reflecting on being thankful. This video was spot on! I am so glad I found it, and I am thankful for your words! Grace and Peace to you!
"When you're watching this from work, do it on your break' You're funny Father Mike . You think of everything!! LOVE it! God bless you. Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
Use what I have for the benefit of someone else to experience the love of Christ Jesus. If we have breath and life, we have the holy spirit in us, thanks to Jesus! Use what God gives us fo rsomeone elses benefit. That is the essence of humble. To give someone else hope joy and love. Thank you Fr Mike.
Father Mike Schmitz, you truly are such a gorgeous and beautiful man inside and out. You have no idea how much you nourish my soul with your words of comfort and wisdom and your incredible sweet gaze that is always filled with such love and empathy ❤. Thank you for sharing your 🎁 and always making me smile/laugh on days when I thought I couldn't. God bless you abundantly and may the blessed Virgin Mary watch over you always ❤😊 ✌🕊🕊🕊 P.S. I suffer from allergies and sinus pressure as well and what works like a charm to really clear your sinuses is just simple over the counter saline solution. I also take Oregano capsules and it also works great and like a charm to relieve your sinus pressure.
Yes you are on point Father Mike When I was sick and even on a sitting position I can hardly breathe how much more When I walk even few steps So when the 1st time I was able to kneel during the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the whole time I cried and texted my daughter how grateful I am to our Almighty, that things we took for granted
Father, just to let you know that I was listening to this while I am at the office and doing my work. I was surprised for a second there, as if you were talking directly to me, and then I laughed. Truly made my day ^^ And thank you for your sharing on being grateful. I enjoy listening to all of your videos 😁👍🙌
Seems appropriate for this video: Thank You God! I am so grateful for showing me these videos, I’ve been asking for answers to questions and while I wasn’t given direct answers, I was given these videos as a form of wisdom so I know how to answer more questions rather than just the few I had! Truly an example of getting more than you asked for all because of the Lord! These videos came at a great time! I remember getting home and having all this anxiety and I saw a video with a priest in the thumbnail and thought “He probably knows what he’s talking about, maybe I can learn something” and I did ! Thank you Father Mike and most importantly, Thank You God!
I thank God for your gifts, including your sense of humor. I was given a chocolate fountain years ago as a thank you gift - which I had not asked for or expected. Used it once. Mega pain in the backside to clean. Stayed in storage for years. Finally gave it away. It may well stay there.
Thank you Father Mike for the wonderful work you do in spreading your knowledge and faith. I personally have found your videos very helpful and useful. I am grateful for this gift!
I Love this channel, one of the gift that God provides for all. 😊 Bless you Fr Mike & all the ascention presents team. Keep up the good work of our Lord! 🤗
I love this message. Yes we can become totally ungrateful because we're spoiled. I think my Grandkiddies are spoiled & I look at myself yet I am spoiled. So break out the gifts & let's use them to serve each other:) I'm capable of helping others so I intend to offer my help whenever I can.
this video is going to go very well to me , I've just discovered it, (you have so many and so interesting that it is a joy to discover new videos even if they are from a a few years ago, always interesting. ) I have to learn to be more grateful , definitely. so, therefore as always, thanks father mike, very grateful for your videos and your sympathy and that positive energy that you transmit, really , I really mean it, you're kind of an angel in this world so full stress, speed, haste, selfishness and people who watch for themselves even in their own families, many more people should watch these videos and the world would go much better, I'm sure , after watching a video of yours, I encourage myself much more and I have more hopes. thank you.always, best regards. santi :-) and happy now¡¡¡ ;-)
What if you are ungrateful for your gifts? What if you wished you had a different gift? What if the gift you have isn’t so glamorous? What if you think your gift isn’t helpful to others? For example ( I know this is cliche) but the “starving artist” is a really good description of this. Since if you’re an artist, your 1 never happy with what you produce 2 what you do produce doesn’t pay well so your often forced to get a job that brings you unhappiness but you got to pay bills 3 most often, what you produce isn’t appreciated until long after your dead.
1 Corinthians Chapter 12 “1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? 20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” Thank God that he reminded me of such a beautiful verse!
Good point when I was younger good health now I'm at age 66 I had bone on bone and my knees I had to retire early and I got a knee replacement they are much better but not 100% what I mean by that I'm not hurting anymore I can walk the only problem I have is whenever I'm at church to Neal I can't do very well so I knew part of the way
I am very indifferent to verbally expressing how grateful I am. Friends say I’m so indifferent because I do not show thanks and enthusiasm for the kindness and help and beautiful gifts they shared with me. So sorry please forgive me;)

Me too. But, God is merciful and forgives our sins. Do what I do go to confession and confess your sins. No time like the present to take out the spiritual garbage!! Guilt is a waste of time. God is forgiving when we repent and turn to Him. I will pray for you!🙏🙏

1 Corinthians Chapter 12
“1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.”
Thank God that he reminded me of such a beautiful verse!
