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. 12/19/2024
Day 354..lead us Lord to learn how to follow your will, and meditate on your word..prayers for Father Mike and all the BIY family who are traveling through God's word together ❤ 🙏
Day 354 - Thursday December 19th, 2024 Partakers of the Divine Nature Today's readings are 2 Peter 1-3, 1 Thessalonians 4-5, and Proverbs 30:17-19. Thank You Lord God for my 3 grandsons. Today is the 3rd birthday of my grandson Ollie ( Oliver ). December 12th was the birtday of my grandson Owen. My Lord and my God.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's pretty cool when you witness someone partaking of the Divine Nature, of course, if you're going through it or you are in communication with a ...... negative or gossipy personality, you're not at all likely to notice from the distraction. God bless me and those participating in BIAY with a cleaner heart and clearer mind of righteousness, dispel the voices of despair, negativity, and depravity for Your Glory to be realized in heaven and on earth. Amen.
Thank you Father Mike. I struggle reading the bible by myself, but I do try. Please pray for me my christian brothers and sisters I’m struggling with my faith. God is our Father I must keep trusting in him. Even when things look bleak. I’m a single mother I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions, lupus and heart disease so now I’m having a hard time providing for my children. I’m so ashamed! I have been put down and mocked over my unfortunate situation. Even though it’s almost Christmas time and we are about to face homelessness. I still have faith God is going to provide abundantly! Praise Jesus! Just Keep the faith!
Always ask your guardian angel to help you and to communicate with your family’s guardian angel’s. Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Then Don’t call protestant’s Christian. Then Following Padre Pio. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
Trust in God's plan for your and your families future. Jer 29:11. A year later thank God you didn't take the Vax. However, take help from local parish Samaritans/ churches.
I CANNOT WAIT to hear you again..! ❤️👍🏻 I am praying for YOU..! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 Please pray for ME..!! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 We know NOT the day nor the hour..! But we WILL meet again..!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOU are our GIFT..!! 🤩
So grateful for freedom, that I can pick this up everyday, and yesterday our church had carols by candlelight, as I stood there singing these well known words that proclaim the birth of Jesus, I am thankful that generations of people have passed on the good news. Very Old churches have a special place in my heart, I have visited a wooden church In Essex that is 1200 years old ! I like to imagine all the folks through the ages that have been drawn as we are to the word of God.
Great work Fr Mike and the Ascension team for continuing making this a great podcast. I'm with you on this second trip around the sun (0:55). Noticed all comments are cleaned up for new eyes and fresh minds yearning for God's Word. Please join me in praying for the holy souls and most forgotten soul in Purgatory - their days of doing good are over, we can pray for their souls to soften to be acceptable to live in God's love for all eternity. 12/20/2022
Thank you, Father Mike! I pray for you and all priests and deacons throughout the world. Most precious blood of Jesus save us and the whole world. Jesus, I trust in you.
I’m so grateful for the stay. Such wise words from Peter and Paul. Let me exemplify God’s creation. I’m not baptized yet but when I receive that gift, I will cherish it and honor it.
I love reading all these recent posts. This is my second time through. Who else will be joining me next year along with the catechism? Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you Father Mike. See you all tomorrow.
Best to read Gods word for yourself, Bible clearly says not to trust man, and you need to know that you have the right spirit, to be able to worship God in the Spirit, Colossians 2:22 “Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?” Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” It is well worth putting a great deal of study into all of Pauls writings, as of course he spake through the Holy Ghost,as also David did, 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 14:37 “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 2:5 “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” Galatians 3:2 “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10 “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:7 “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:” 2 Corinthians 13:5. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:16 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” John 14:17 “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” Ephesians 5:17 “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:18 “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;” Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 John 3:24 “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” Ephesians 1:17 “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:” John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23 “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
Thank you, Father Mike. I have learned so much over this year while reading the Bible and listening to your explanations. I've taken notes every day and when this journey is done, I plan on researching in greater depth those areas.
I am so glad that I subscribed to this podcast. Father Mike, you make the Bible not only interesting reading but you help me apply it to my life today. I probably have read the Bible both Catholic and King James Version but was never able to piece it together with my life. Just reading from front to back you miss so much. I didn’t download only because I am just too old to follow along and read and listen. I enjoy listening. Although I think you could win the book of Guinness’s the fastest speaker. Just kidding!
Excellent readings and summary Father Mike. Thank you for the BIAY. For the first time, I have been interested in reading the Bible and understand more of it because of you.
December 19, 2023 Round Two Hello! When the Catechism is complete (or maybe even now), consider listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a year and/or EWTN Mother Angelica’s Classics to add to your Catholic learning! Oh my goodness so much life guidance in conjunction with Father Mike’s Bible and Catechism in a Year!
I am so, so excited by the coming new podcast from Ascension Presents... The Rosary in a year podcast starting January first 2025 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Today's date Thursday December 19th, 2024
"When we are baptized, we become partakers of the Divine Nature." Thanks for explaining this very important message Father Mike. I pray that we all get baptized so we can become like our Heavenly Father. Saint Peter, pray for us!
Thank God for the word my famijust received: my. Sister and brother in lawtested negative for Covid-19’s my nephew and his wife have been exposed but no signs yet.
I just think we do not pay enough attention to this declaration. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. As a lifelong glutton and seeing that obesity is one of the health hazards of our times - I truly believe that upon this rests the power of sanctity and becoming partakes of the Divine Nature. When I fast and care for my body, I can hear God more clearly.
Thank you Fr. Mike I found 2 Peter 2 to be so prophetic in these times. So many leaders leading persons astray with faulty teaching. 2 Peter 3: 16 "twist as they do with the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. Similiarily, we warned in 2 Peter 1: 20 about private interpretation of Scripture. We are truly blessed with the correct interpretation of Scripture in light of the Church
Proverbs 30 17 - If you make fun of your father or despise your mother in her old age, you ought to be eaten by vultures or have your eyes picked out by wild ravens. 18 - There are four things that are too mysterious for me to understand : 19 - a snake moving on a rock, a ship finding its way over the sea, and a man and a woman falling in love. The Good News Bible Today's English Version (TEV). 📖🕯✝
May there be continue “growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to believe that through baptism we’ve …..escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.”
December 20: "For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him." 1 Thessalonians 5: 9-10 While the death of Christ saved us from the penalty of sin, there will come a day when believers will be brought in unity with the Lord. At that time the power and presence of sin will vanish and we will be reunited with all those we have loved and lost to death. The inheritance of our eternal salvation is in probate and only He, who made us, can disburse the reward. May I live in peace, even amidst chaos, knowing well of the paradise that awaits me. Amen.
Thank you so much Father Mike Schmitz and Ascension Presents. I have done this Bible in a year podcast twice ( #2021 and #2022 ). I am so ready to start the new podcast which is The Catechism of The Catholic Church with Father Mike Schmitz. Thank you so much. God is always good and God is always FAITHFUL 🙏😇❤️
“Working together to exhort our brothers and sisters🙏🏾 “You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand.” James 5:8
will try my best to start year 2022 with this daily reading! I struggle to understand reading by myself, you just don't know how much this vlog help me Father Mike, God bless you more!
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. The DEAD IN CHRIST, meaning, those that died believing and DOING as Christ did. Because Christ went to the Father, we too know that we must seek, hear, heed, and do according to the Father's Will. That last sentence hit me angry today. But, too, you're right, keep testing them.
December 19, 2023 Round Two Please, do you have just a moment in time 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: Eternal Father, I offer You 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, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen. In her account of another vision, St. Faustina describes Purgatory as a "great crowd of suffering souls" undergoing purification. Further, she says that the souls are "praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid" (Diary, 20)
I wish Fr Mike would have discussed the heresy of the "rapture" and those who believe that we remain in the grave or place of the dead both body and soul. There is only a second coming of Christ not a second to the elect and a third to those who remain. If we remain in the grave both body and soul then why would St Paul say to die is gain? These things need to be discussed in today's readings.
What do Catholics believe about the Rapture? The verse 1 Thess 4:13-18 seems to tell us but my priest says that isn’t how the church believes it will happen. 🤔
Catholics believe that the "rapture" spoken of in 1 Thess 4:13-18 will happen at the end of time when Jesus comes again, after the time of tribulation. A lot of Protestants believe in a "pre-trib" or even now, they speak of a "mid-trib" rapture where Jesus will come and carry them away before any tribulation (or in the middle of the tribulation) to escape the suffering. Only the unsaved will be "Left Behind" ... it was a theological invention of the late 1800's.

Day 354 - Thursday December 19th, 2024
Partakers of the Divine Nature
Today's readings are 2 Peter 1-3, 1 Thessalonians 4-5, and Proverbs 30:17-19.
Thank You Lord God for my 3 grandsons. Today is the 3rd birthday of my grandson Ollie ( Oliver ). December 12th was the birtday of my grandson Owen.
My Lord and my God.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
18DEC2024. Day 354. Oh Lord, bless us and help us to become partakers of your divine nature. Lord, we long to be with you. Amen
Another day to give thanks for our ability to hear explanations by dear Father Mike. We have our marching orders….let us keep going forward! 🙏
In 2023, I did the CIY with Fr. Mike, now I’m almost done with BIY; thank you Fr. Mike!
It's pretty cool when you witness someone partaking of the Divine Nature, of course, if you're going through it or you are in communication with a ...... negative or gossipy personality, you're not at all likely to notice from the distraction.
God bless me and those participating in BIAY with a cleaner heart and clearer mind of righteousness, dispel the voices of despair, negativity, and depravity for Your Glory to be realized in heaven and on earth. Amen.
Proudly continuing my journey, Team Replay 💚🙏🏼😊
Thank you Father Mike. I struggle reading the bible by myself, but I do try. Please pray for me my christian brothers and sisters I’m struggling with my faith. God is our Father I must keep trusting in him. Even when things look bleak. I’m a single mother I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions, lupus and heart disease so now I’m having a hard time providing for my children. I’m so ashamed! I have been put down and mocked over my unfortunate situation. Even though it’s almost Christmas time and we are about to face homelessness. I still have faith God is going to provide abundantly! Praise Jesus! Just Keep the faith!
Joy to you. Fight with Joy. God bless you 🙏🏼
Visit your local Catholic churches and ask for help. Call the diocesan bishop's office.
Always ask your guardian angel to help you and to communicate with your family’s guardian angel’s. Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Then Don’t call protestant’s Christian. Then Following Padre Pio. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
I pray that you and your children are well and that this Christmas season was much less difficult than last. I pray you have been keeping the faith.
Trust in God's plan for your and your families future. Jer 29:11. A year later thank God you didn't take the Vax. However, take help from local parish Samaritans/ churches.
Amen 🙏.
Peter's letter was the Reading yesterday on The Second Sunday of Advent 2023. So good. Prayers for all.
I CANNOT WAIT to hear you again..! ❤️👍🏻 I am praying for YOU..! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 Please pray for ME..!! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 We know NOT the day nor the hour..! But we WILL meet again..!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOU are our GIFT..!! 🤩
Peter and Paul's words today, make things very clear as what we are to do..Couldn't be any more simply explained!
“Pray constantly.” “Hold fast to what is good, abstain from every form of evil.” Thank you, Father Mike! 🙏 26/12/2022
So grateful for freedom, that I can pick this up everyday, and yesterday our church had carols by candlelight, as I stood there singing these well known words that proclaim the birth of Jesus, I am thankful that generations of people have passed on the good news. Very Old churches have a special place in my heart, I have visited a wooden church In Essex that is 1200 years old ! I like to imagine all the folks through the ages that have been drawn as we are to the word of God.

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:10
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

John 14:16
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;”
John 14:17
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
Ephesians 5:17
“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
Ephesians 5:18
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
Ephesians 5:11
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 6:17
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey Amen 🙏🙏

December 20: "For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him."
1 Thessalonians 5: 9-10
While the death of Christ saved us from the penalty of sin, there will come a day when believers will be brought in unity with the Lord. At that time the power and presence of sin will vanish and we will be reunited with all those we have loved and lost to death. The inheritance of our eternal salvation is in probate and only He, who made us, can disburse the reward.
May I live in peace, even amidst chaos, knowing well of the paradise that awaits me.
Amen.
I jumped ahead to cover more of the New Testament and am now hooked and need to finish the last few episodes before going back to where I left off.
Thank you so much Father Mike Schmitz and Ascension Presents. I have done this Bible in a year podcast twice ( #2021 and #2022 ).

Thank you Fr, Mike 😇
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall
he
do
also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The DEAD IN CHRIST, meaning, those that died believing and DOING as Christ did.
Because Christ went to the Father, we too know that we must seek, hear, heed, and do according to the Father's Will.
That last sentence hit me angry today. But, too, you're right, keep testing them.
Amen ❤
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Round Two
Please, do you have just a moment in time 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:
Eternal Father,
I offer You 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,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.
In her account of another vision, St. Faustina describes Purgatory as a "great crowd of suffering souls" undergoing purification. Further, she says that the souls are "praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid" (Diary, 20)

I wish Fr Mike would have discussed the heresy of the "rapture" and those who believe that we remain in the grave or place of the dead both body and soul. There is only a second coming of Christ not a second to the elect and a third to those who remain. If we remain in the grave both body and soul then why would St Paul say to die is gain? These things need to be discussed in today's readings.

And in 2024 and in 2025❣️
Remind me of how to test prophecy…..
I believe it’s tested through scripture

What do Catholics believe about the Rapture? The verse 1 Thess 4:13-18 seems to tell us but my priest says that isn’t how the church believes it will happen. 🤔
Catholics believe that the "rapture" spoken of in 1 Thess 4:13-18 will happen at the end of time when Jesus comes again, after the time of tribulation. A lot of Protestants believe in a "pre-trib" or even now, they speak of a "mid-trib" rapture where Jesus will come and carry them away before any tribulation (or in the middle of the tribulation) to escape the suffering. Only the unsaved will be "Left Behind" ... it was a theological invention of the late 1800's.

Where do there do there so called baptising because it’s certainly NOT a church! God bless

How do you "test everything"?
With discernment.
Love God & Neighbor.
Know Right from wrong.
Choose to do The Good, or God's Will.

The False Prophets remind me of quite a few televangelists we have these days.
