Praying for Fr. Mike & BIY 🙏🙏🙏 I have enjoyed Tobit so much.❤

I know I'm behind but life has just been getting in the way sadly, but I'm still here and nothing is going to stop me from getting to day 365

Pray for me I work 3 jobs and am living paycheck to paycheck am behind in many bills. As soon as I catch up with one something happens and I'm back where I was. Pray for financial blessings and solutions to this weight and burden from me.

This reflection may be one of the best of the 187 so far. Just an incredible message and prayer to ask God to let us use whatever time He has given us to become more like His Son.

Just before I left for work I opened my bible, given that we have just had an election, look what I read. Eccl 9 v17-18 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded, than the shouts of a ruler of fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good. I think they call it a God wink!

Please pray for me. I have inflammatory breast cancer. I finished chemo, today. Radiation and surgery coming up. Thank You, Lord, for walking with me! You are ever faithful?

Dear Lord please cure me of this agressive breast cancer, i put my health in your hands and i have faith that you will cure me to live many more years to see my sons grow and to share your love for us with all who will listen. Your the driver and im just the passenger🙏

It's my understanding that the deaconesses in the Bible assisted in tasks like distributing communion outside of liturgy similar to an emhc today with the homebound and they also assisted in the baptism of women as baptism was done naked in the early church

This was an amazing biblical lesson! Thank you!

Thanks be to you Lord Jesus Christ ❤❤❤❤❤Amen prayers Father Mike Amen

Shorter in length of words, not in bodily stature….right?😘

I felt guilty that I hadn't subscribed. Then I looked at my subscriptions and there you were! Thank you for all that you do and for any of your staff who help you.

Yay, I'm caught up to date. Blessings, ❤ 🇺🇸

Grace be with you through Jesus Christ. Catholics do not match anything in the Bible. Ezekiel 13:2, It's a sin to call Mike "father". Matthew 23:8. Easter is not in the Bible, Passover is in the Bible. Christians honor Jesus resurrection and Passover and Feast of unleavened bread in the same week. Matthew 22:17.Exodus 12. Forced celibacy of priests and nuns, and forced poverty to give up their worldly possessions is not in the Bible. 1Timothy 3:2. Rosaries are forbidden. Matthew 6:7. You are supposed to use Anointing oil not Holy Water. James 5:14 and Exodus 40:9.

AMEN 🙏.

JULY 5, 2024 Friday. Here I am.

“I would rather be lame so God can make me a remnant “ these words are not familiar to me. That’s why I searched about it and found it’s meaning based on St. Francis De Sales. There’s a website entitled “We are the Remnants” that you can lookup to. The wonderful thing about “the remnant” is that it is always forward-looking. From the crisis of the Church today, a new and vibrant Church can evolve. We may be small today, unable to fill the great Churches built in our heyday, but we can be dynamic and alive in our faith and our commitment to live like Christ. We can be the seed sown by the Lord, which will bear much fruit. Using the words “I would rather be lame so God can make me a remnant “ is when I avoid sins that is so normal for me to do but lame not to do it. Because I want God to make me a remnant, a part of people. They are a people who are faithful to the Lord despite the lack of faith and dishonorable living of those around them.

Day 187 - Friday July 5th, 2024. O Lord God Almighty help us all to become better Christians ✝️🙏❤. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen 🙏

I'm a day behind in 2024. This is so good. I'm praying for all of us on this journey and those to follow. Blessings ❤

Pray for our country

Pray for me. I am working three jobs and still can't get out of debt. Pray I find a good paying job and help getting out of debt.

"You are the average of the 5 closest people around you" - Jim Rohn, this is the author Father Mike is referring to

Thank you Fr. Mike for helping us process and understand these difficult and disturbing moments and characters in the Bible. We too live in evil times with all of us going astray and then struggling back to God. Thank you Lord for Your mercy! We are nothing without You, just a big pile of mess. Blessed be the Lord forever, Who saves us all from our darkness and sin. All thanks and Glory be to our Lord and Creator. How blessed we are!

05JUL2024. Day 187. O Lord, my God, in thee we trust. Amen

God bless you Fr Mike.

Day 186. July 4th, 2024. I pray for all of us doing BIY currently, people who came before, and people doing it in the future. may God be with us all, Amen.

I love this! The talks are so great <3

Praying for Fr. Mike & BIY 🙏🙏🙏 I have really enjoyed this book of Tobit, Tobias & Sarah❤

Reflecting on all the Kings, my goodness, shows us God's limitless mercy-a God of second chances whose love transcends human failings; no depth of sin can thwart the love and forgiveness of God. We discover the path to redemption and renewal through contrite repentance and humility. God is SO good! May God work in all of us to give us hearts that are discerning to His Word, His working in us, and glorifying God in all we think and do. Sending prayers for Fr. Mike and all - past, present, and future members of our BIY community. God Bless! 🙏📿

Praying for Fr. Mike & BIY 🙏🙏🙏 Happy Fourth of July to all.🎇

And these tribes never come back, do they?

July 4th, 2024. We read of how frightening God can sound in this reading and it's clear that we truly can never understand His ways. Thank you Lord for sending Jesus Christ to us. Glory be to The Father and to The Son and to The Holy Spirit, Amen 🙏🏼

Thanks be to God ❤❤❤Amen. Prayers for me Father Mike thank you Amen

I have not been able to find a consistent schedule to do this. But somehow on I am on day 112 but its the 4th of July 2024., and I am supposed to be on day 186 to finish by December 31, 2024. I have decided that I am not going to worry about that. The important thing is i keep pushing play. Also if I finish June 30, 2025 I am ok with that.

Thanks be to God Jesus Christ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you amen prayers father Mike

Day 186. July 4, 2024 Happy Independence Day in the US. Praying for all of those in BIY who came before, are going through now, & will come through in the future. May the Lord God open your hearts & minds to His Logos. May you turn to him with deeper penance & love. 🙏❤️

A great reminder to make good use of our time on Earth so that God is glorified and we attain salvation. * Hezekiah shows that a longer life doesn't always mean better, happier or a life full of achievements. *Hezekiah seems to have forgotten that he was going to die but God gave him 15 years. Despite that, he was proud of the riches he had and showed them to the Babylon messengers. He forgot that he was not going to take anything with him after death except his soul. His pride probably caused him to show everything but that caused the downfall of Judah. * Hezekiah being indifferent to the word of God about Judah's exile shows that he only cared about the present and not the future after his demise. We must pray for the wellbeing of everyone in the present and the future. *Saint Dominic Savio- Better to die than to commit a mortal sin. Similar to how Jesus said that we must cut off the things that cause us to sin. We must also choose to not sin because the consequences of sinning are worse than the consequences of not sinning. Saint Dominic is also an excellent example of how even a short lived person can impact the world so much! * Hezekiah’s son Manasseh did evil things like sacrificing his own son, witchcraft, soothsaying, and idolatry. This might have been because of Hezekiah's indifference to what his children were doing or going to do. Similar to how Hezekiah didn't care about Judah's future. We must not be like him but like Jesus. Thank you, Fr Mike and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners

An excellent reminder to care not just for self but for others, especially those in the future. *Psalm 144- Prayer for National Deliverance is a very apt prayer for wishing for the good of the entire nation. Especially on the 4th of July! * Hezekiah’s faith and trust in God even after hearing about his death helped him to gain 15 years of life. We must also trust in God when we are in trouble. *Hezekiah couldn't end his journey well because he showed everything from his house to the Babylon messengers. He should’ve been wiser. Another thing is his apathy / carelessness about the future of Judah. Thus, his last sentence about God's word showed that he only cared enough for his kingdom and until he was the king. A true leader and a true God’s person should care for the present and the future generations too, like how Jesus sacrificed Himself for us. How David also worked for the betterment of his son Solomon's future and the goal of the temple building. * Thus, praying for self and others is great but we must also pray for the future generations and care for them. Like how God cares for everyone. Thank you, Fr Mike and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners

Happy July 4th, 2024 ,at age 94 I am learning each day and am grateful to Father Mike for his informative discussion God bless all of us! 🙏

How old was Hezekiah when he got sick? Perhaps 30 or 33? Jesus cried too in the garden.

I was under the impression that it was the Puritan printers who declined to include the Deuterocanonical books in the 2nd ed of the KJV. The first ed KJV included them

Here on 7-4-2024. May God bless you brothers and sisters on this journey. May God knit every word of the Bible to your heart and mind, and may you shine. Peace be with you.

I'm so thankful I heard this one here again. I remember the horror when I had read this chapter the first time many years ago... it haunted me a whole week!

Thank you Lord

Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸 🙏🏻

Today it is July 4, 2024. And I was thinking about myself and family as I listened. Father’s request for prayers for future generations “whatever time we are” - well all I could think of was the Multi-Verse. Our time is not God’s time. It also reminded me of the movie, Arrival, with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. God and this Universe is Limitless while we as humans are Limited.

Day 186..happy 4th of July BIY family..prayers for all and for Father Mike ❤🙏

11:46🙏

🙏🙏🙏

AMEN 🙏.
