My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Great homily Father Mike. As a young woman dealing with a chronic mostly invisible and often brushed off illness it’s hard to make sense of why this is happening to me on the harder days. I was a very healthy, hardworking, and intelligent person, who now spends many days struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and memory issues. I don’t understand why this has happened to me, but I continue to trust in the Lord.
Me too! God bless you 💙
Me, too. I pray now that I can glorify Him, in my weakness. I've been hoping there was a lesson to learn, and I could just learn it, and move on. That doesn't seem to be happening, so now I will glorify Him more, in everything. Blessings!!
Thank you Fr. Mike. Bless you!
I struggle with various, toll inducing mental illnesses. Today I was in serious withdrawal of my meds they took me off too soon. This message was for both of us 💜💜
Do you have EDS?
For in my weakness, I'm made strong.
Thanks Fr. Schmitz.
"God makes great saints out of broken people." Thank you Fr. Mike, even though I am broken, there is hope.
Good job Father
God Bless you, Fr. Mike, for your inspirational words that Glorify God and support all of us in the VFP as we deal with suffering and “thorns”. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks!
Thank you. Praise God
🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
Thank you Father
I also appreciate following a homily from Minnesota considering I used to live there
Father Mike, I somehow,,,Always, always, always! Hear exactly, what I believe is, God's Voice, coming through when I watch and participate in when I Watch Mass being shown on this channel. I wasn't raised in the Catholic church, I was baptized in the Baptist church. Anywho I just wanted to say Thank you again for listening to your calling to help bring, through God's Grace, Light into my life right now. May the Lord be with you 🙏📿🕊
Thank you Father Mike I’m grateful for todays Homily. I’m 26 bedbound with a rare spinal/brain disease. It’s been 3 years and my condition continues to get worse. I had my appointment recently with bad news. Please pray for me that I may continue to trust in God.
Lord Jesus, I pray for peace and comfort, and healing if it is Your will. In Your Name, I pray.
Amen
Prayers
Please pray for me. Im battling alcohol and drug addiction that I’ve almost beat!! I relapsed last night but each time I do I go longer without every time I love you Jesus Christ and thank you Mike for the mass
Don't do it for yourself. Do it for us. We need you in this world. Don't let us down.
I gave up drinking it was poison for me and ruined many things in my life. I wasn’t an alcoholic just a severe social drinker. I just gave it up one day after asking Jesus to help me and never looked back. You will be happier and healthier if you do it. Don’t succumb to this world and don’t associate with drinkers. Drinking never solves anything just makes things worse. Good luck and blessings🙏
@@Lanamarri36712 everyome has a different strong hold...recovery is the best way to do it because use it was transfer to another addiction
As always a great sermon. Thank you Father
homily :)
Such a powerful homily, that I needed this morning. Thank you Father Mike.
O, God, while my selfish heart seeks after many things, deep inside, I know that what I need most is to know you in a more holy and majestic way and for you to be present in our lives. In Jesus' name, I seek your presence - my Father, my Savior, and your indwelling Spirit within me. Amen.
Beautiful sermon Fr May God bless you and watch over you as you watch over your parish 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️✝️✝️
yes, beautiful homily
Perfectly beautiful, Thank you, 😊
Just what I needed today. Wonderful example to all of us and a reminder that our imperfections don’t have to hold us back.
Love this each week
Dear Lord Jesus
0:14 I come before you this Sunday morning with a heart full of gratitude. Thank you for your unwavering love, your abundant blessings, and the gift of life itself. I am grateful for my family, my friends, and the many opportunities you have placed in my path. Thank you for your guidance, forgiveness, and constant presence in my life.
As I begin this Sunday morning, I come before you, seeking renewal in my mind, body, and spirit. I ask that you fill me with your peace and mercy and help me to let go of any burdens that are weighing me down. May your Holy Spirit wash over me, cleansing my heart and refreshing my soul.
A s I embark on this new week, I seek your wisdom and guidance. Help me to make wise decisions, to treat others with kindness and compassion, and to always act in accordance with your will. Lead me down the path of righteousness and help me to be a beacon of your light in the world.
In Jesus' name, Amen 🙏
Lord, please let me receive your graces and the forgiveness of sin. I love you. Take care of everything.
Thank God for e ministries like this and EWTN and Catholic Online.
Prayers for my family…two college sons and my spouse’s heart issues & sleep issues. And in honor of my wonderful mom who brought us to mass every Sunday & laid a deep foundation of faith within the four of us. RIP Mom. 🩷🩷🩷🛐🛐🛐
Hi, I just want to help share some advice in regards to your spouse's heart and sleep issues. Please read or listen to these books: Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. There's life changing evidence about nutrition and lifestyle habits there, and many success stories online that can provide encouragement. This info has helped me and my loved ones get healthier. God bless!
Wonderful homily.
I have eye problems and arthritis! But every morning I wake up I thank God that I can see and for my feet he gave me! I pray that He remembers those who cannot see at all and those who can't walk!
with that gratitude, let's them go help those who are worse
Thankyou Fr for your homily
❤👏♥️👏♥️👏♥️👏
It Hit Me right where I needed!
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
IM GOING TO LET IT
SHINE
IN GLORY TO GOD!!
Yet another profound sermon Fr Mike. We are all dealing with things that require God’s healing and we become frustrated when our prayers are not answered as we want.
It is a failing I have. Glorifying Jesus in our broken state takes effort and contemplation is difficult but Jesus promised that we will always “have enough “
Thank you yet again for a thought provoking sermon - that is one of your many gifts from God 💪
Amen and amen. Thank you Father Mike for this powerful message.🙏
A beautiful start to my day, my week. Thank you for this opportunity to join with other believers in Jesus.
Thank you father! I was praying so hard to get an answer and I thought that God is not hearing my prayers anymore until I find this homily and everything was more clear and I finally get it. Thank you for being an instrument of God for his church and for all of us who are broken. God Almighty bless you always!! Please keep me in your prayers🙏🏻
Wishing everyone who reads this comment divine blessings of wealth, health, and happiness. May your life be filled with abundance.
God, today I pray for my buddy Felix. That he may be given what was so freely given to me by you. Please help him to have an open heart while he receives treatment.
A great reminder that being perfect or better than others is not the thing that gets us close to God, but we can glorify God through our imperfections and how we deal with them. Through our faith and efforts, we can inspire others. Great analogy of the candles and also a great example of St. Paul (When we are weak, we are strong) and of Saint with eating disorder. Thank you, Fr. Mike, The Front Pew Crew and Team Ascension! God bless you and the fellow attendees!
Thank you Father Mike for this mass so I may stay on my journey to be closer with the Lord
I am just coming to the catholic faith and in the last few months my eyes have been opened so much and this service wow what a blessing thank you father Mike for all that you do to shine a light on Jesus, you’ve shown me that during my illness and going to Dr after Dr and not getting better but worse that I need to be glorifying Jesus and giving him praise and thanks I’m sorry to say I lost sight of that
And with your spirit 🙏
FORGIVE ME FATHER FOR I HAVE SINNED !!
HOWEVER IM HERE TODAY WITH YOU AND ALL THOSE WATCHING TODAY !! BLESS YOU AND ALL WATCHING TODAY !! AND A REMINDER TO ALL PRAISE GOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE !! GOD LOVES A PRAISE OF THANKS AMEN !! OK YOU ALL ENJOY ❤
Thank you for this mass and another thought-provoking sermon, Fr. Mike. We don't always see God's hand in our troubles and discomforts. God is leading us, sometimes, kicking and screaming, but he is there. We need to pause and reflect. God Bless. Claire.
Your homily was truly exceptional, filled with depth, wisdom, and profound meaning. The flame of the Holy Spirit shines brilliantly through your messages. Thank you Father Mike for showing up to your calling. I am so grateful that you do✨🙏🏻✨

Thank you Father Mike Schmitz for all the ways you lead and guide our church.
Thanks for all you do for our church.
Thank you for being such a great example of living a life of faith.
You’re a blessing to our church.
Thanks for all the ways you make a difference in our church and community.
Thanks for all you do to make our church the encouraging and faith-building place it is!
Our church is so lucky to have you!
Thank you for homilies that make me proud to be a Catholic. Thank you for homilies that remind me that the Mass is about the Eucharist, not the works of man. Thank you for consecrating the Eucharist so reverently that it moves me to tears. Thank you for the intensity of your worship and the love in your eyes when you look at your people and when you look at your God.
Thank you for preaching Christ to us, for bringing Christ to us, for being Christ to us. Thank you for putting out into the deep. Thank you for following him, never knowing where he will lead you. Thank you for teaching us to trust, for teaching us to love, for teaching us to live. God bless keep you and all parishioners safe
Amen
Another great sermon. Thank you Father 😌
LOVE THE CANDLE ANALOGY AND FR. MIKE✝️🙏💕
Lately I have been struggling with my faith but as of recent I’ve been trying to make an effort to get to Sunday mass and I have been but I do get a bit procrastinated on going to mass and I am trying to get back into it to make it to mass every Sunday. As security officer it hard to do so because scheduling and I am writing this I am on a shift right now and usually go to mass in the morning at 11:15 and I am bit sad that I wont be able to make But I am happy that Fr. Mike does an online mass and that I have others ways to be part of a mass! You have been a big inspiration Fr. Mike ever since I was In high school. I hope to one day meet you in person!!
Prayers for all Families and Friends ❤
Thank you Fr. Mike. Beautiful points to ponder on father. Always praying for you and your ministry. God bless you father.
Pray for my sister. She has OCD and anorexia and scrupulosity. The protestant pastor at her church is saying she's in sin because of her OCD and anorexia. It's taking a toll of her mental health
If I had listened to the many doctors who I've seen, I would be without part of a foot and without a thyroid. And, although I've allowed surgeons to remove other body parts previously, those two times I had a profound feeling that God would heal my issues, and He did. I still have several chronic health problems, for which I pray for healing, but whatever is the outcome praise be Jesus. Thank you, Fr. Mike, for a wonderful and meaningful sermon!
likewise, as a nurse & disabled patient..I had to save many lives from doctors, imcludimg my own (sorry, key missing). Healing comes also from time amd hard work with he chamges necessary. There is more out there than mainstream gaslighting. I died at their neglectful hands, and quite a bit of ptsd but I offer that up for others and I know He used this to bring me back to Him..I was drifting.
@@jac1161 Stated beautifully.
God bless you Father Mike and praises to God for this mass today. I felt God speaking to me listening to the sermon. 🙏❤
O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: preserve those who travel; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey's end;
I pray for my fiance Jerry for his renewal of his travel certificate so the Turkish immigration will allowed him to board on plane to go back home safe here in California USA to recover and healing from his hip replacement surgery its been 2 months ago I pray for his safe travel and protection day abd night good health always and our relationship to be strong and lived peacefully and happily , for better for worse for richer or poorer in sickness and in health until death do us part this I asked
through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen 🙏
Thank you
Father Mike, I always come away with great information thru your homilies,I’m healing thru my pain God has been so good to me and I’m listening to his answers to everything that I’ve been trying to solve in my own way Peace be with you Father…
Thank you st paul for helping me to see my strengths in time of weakness
Blessed be God forever Please end abortion. Save the sweet babies. Heal the families and the abortionists. Jesus Take care of everything. I trust in you now and forever.❤❤❤
I’m chronically ill with multiple things some invisible and some things still undiagnosed, after lots of time being gaslit by loved ones and physicians then having proof it was a very real thing that hasn’t went away yet … I grow tempted to be bitter, to mourn my life and what it could have been if I were healed, bargaining with Lord “if you heal me I can do x y and z for you” or feeling like Job asking why? every young person I meet is thriving while I in my early 20s struggle to do normal things … yet blessed is the thorn which brings me back to Lord. St. Benedict Joseph librae said “courage for illness is greater grace than health for many saints have desired to suffer what the ill do” maybe I won’t be a missionary or a husband or a father or a priests maybe the most I’ll do smile to a stranger and pray for them in thought maybe all the “honor” of what I do here will be given to me privately by God himself. I don’t like this path or this particular cross it’s lonely, hard, & uncommon for most in the especially in the west but it’s mine. So until I push daisies … Viva Cristo Rey
I am proud to be a Catholic, Thank you Father Mike Schmitz 🙏
I sometimes do church online with Grace Community Church in Ohio ; but now that I am back in Texas , my dad told me about Father Michael Schmidt; and I honestly felt the Holy Spirit working through Father Michael Schmidt.
This was an awesome Sermon online ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉
Look at JESUS
On the CROSS
In His WEAKNESS
HE IS STRONG!!!!
Since the ago of 9 I dealt with invisible pain… by the age of 16 surgery for endometriosis. I was gifted one child as a prayer baby at the age of 36. Now, at the age of 54, I have survived an emergent hysterectomy due to endometriosis. My pain has been removed… I was in the hands of an amazing surgeon. I am forever grateful that I was given the Grace to live life… even in pain. Now… I have peace and compassion for those who have pain because I survived.
Thank you father! Really great perspective!
Thank you Father Mike❤❤
Thank you father Mike all the way from California for alway uploading mass for us to attend virtually, many Sundays I find myself at work unable to attend mass at my local church so this is a great blessing to me and many others

I couldn't make it to the live, but God bless you and everyone today! And this was an amazing homily🙏🏿
Loving and gracious Almighty God kur Father, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
As the Members of this assembly return from days away celebrating our Nation's birth, grant them safe homes and purposes. May they return ready to assume a difficult work which must be done.
We pray for the needs of the Nation, the world, and all of creation. Bless those who seek to honor You and serve each other and all in this your House through their public service.
May the words and deeds of this place reflect an earnest desire for justice, and may men and women in government build on the tradition of equity and truth that represents the noblest heritage of our people.
May Your blessing, O God, be with us this day and every day to come, and may all we do be done for Your greater honor and glory.
In Holy Savior Jesus the Christ name I pray Amen.
Joining from Florida 🏝️🏝️☀️☀️
Amen! But even if You won't, my hope is in You, Lord
This homily was so meaningful to me. Even though I have no physical hardships, I am plagued with feelings that I am not as capable as my other friends. This homily makes so much sense, especially the example of the candles. We all have different gifts, and we are all God’s children whom God takes care of.
💙 Amen 💙 let God's light shine through
St. Alphonsus please pray for me.
I have had bad pain with arthritis and had to go through surgery. Thank you Father Mike for your homily.
Pedazo de cura, no veas lo bueno que está, así voy a misa todos los días y me trago su pan con todo el gusto. Endiablada estoy ❤
Thanks
Oh Jesus
PRAISE GOD IS BETTER !!!
Dealing with a chronic illness😢 Everyday I ask God to take this illness and everyday Im disappointed. 😢 I cant say that it's because I dont have faith because I do know that God still heals. It makes me sad, depressed, and bitter that He will not heal me. Thank you Fr Mike. Im not Catholic but your mass helps me to get through the bad days.
I often relate the thorn in the flesh to Jacob’s limp from his encountering God
Jesus loves you and is with you
IF YOUR IN PAIN DONT FORGET TO ASK
SAINT ALPHONSUS FOR SOME HELP IN JESUS NAME AMEN !!
LAST PRAISE GOD FOR ALL FOR THE GOOD AND THE BAD AS ALL IS A BLESSING AMEN ❤
God is Great and Holy is His name!!❤

Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
Vita dulcedo, et spes nostra salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii have,

Ad nos converte.
Et lesum, benedictum fructum Ventris tui,
Nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende,
