Fr. Mike explains why it's important to focus on our own journey with the Lord over those around us while highlighting the leadership of king Josiah. He also reminds us how the mistakes of past kings had led Israel down a dark path. Today's readings are 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 34, and Proverbs 8:1-21.
We hear every day from our community how The Bible in a Year helps to capture hearts and souls for Christ. While we’re happy to make it free to our audience, it’s not free to create! It takes a significant investment to produce the podcast and distribute it free-of-cost to the public. You can make a gift of financial support to help defray these costs and enable us to keep bringing evangelizing digital media to all those searching for God: tinyurl.com/yzxuw7ne Thank you for your support.

Prayer for financial blessings. I am working three jobs and still behind in many bills. My cable, phone and internet are about to be shut off. I have to pay car insurance and a car payment because i need my car for work and my old car died in December. Pray for divine intervention.

Day 189 - Today's readings are 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 34, and Proverbs 8:1-21. Today is Sunday July 7th, 2024. Time to go to Mass. I am missing the Latin Mass.
Lord God please, please, please help me with the whole conversion of my family, especially my daughter, my son, my son in law, my grandson, my husband. I really, really desire the whole conversion of my entire family, friends, coworkers, neighbors and whoever I encounter in my daily life. I really, really need to be more patient especially with those who do not know God or refused to know God. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
07JUL2024. Day 189. O Lord, we pray that you increase our wisdom. Allow us to see with clarity. Amen
Amen🙏❤️
Day 189..let's do this!
Thanks for everyone who has been reading this whole time.
An important reminder is not to follow the world but only God!
*All have to pay for the past sins, and also things happen as per God's plans. Thus, despite being faithful, Josiah had to die due to the enemies of Judah uniting as per the plans of the exile.
*People do have to follow God regardless of what famous people and the people ruling over them are doing. This is what is shown by the people of Judah - not following God even when Kings follow Him. While some following God when evil kings are not following Him.
*Proverbs are awesome because they show that power and money are useless without wisdom and insight. We can lose everything in a minute because of a bad decision due to the lack of wisdom and also by not following God.
Thank you so much for your prayers and this work, Fr. Mike! May all of us grow in faith and wisdom! Thank you, Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners
🙏❤️
Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, discerning, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand both the Old & the New Testaments that we may revere & treasure the words which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.
It is truly a blessing to have a knowledgeable Priest explain to us the scriptures. My wife and I have learned a lot, even though we have read the Bible several times. Thanks Father. Keep up the great work. Amen!❤❤❤😊
Our culture right now is doing all the abominable things our ancestors did in the OT; idolatry,unbelief,child sacrifice, promiscuity,
Lord have mercy on us.🇻🇦
Many if us grew up so damaged by this. Nevertheless, we still were responsible to know what is right and what is wrong.

Round Two
Please pray for Souls in Purgatory. Go ahead, just take about 30 seconds to help save a soul that maybe is your family member or friend! Go forth and help save! Here is the prayer:
(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.)
The Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee 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, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
God would reply to St. Gertrude that He would use whatever was offered to Him for the faithful departed, according to His inclination to show pardon & mercy.

Round Two
A great addition to Father Mike’s Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year is Saint Faustina’s Diary. I urge you to listen to or read her Diary to help guide you in this life. Jesus I trust in You. #DivineMercy
So timely: regardless what the leaders say and do, especially these days!, I/we, by God's grace, will stand firm in the Truth and be faithful to the LORD, obey His Will.
Blessings from Katy, Tx,Cinco Ranch
Thank you Father Mike for your dedication to bringing these readings to us daily. I listen and read them daily and as I go along I learn more. Of course, if you didn't explain everything at the end, I would be lost. I appreciate all you do.
Yes. I need to think about my house and my son.
Lord, You are the one true king. May we not become fixated on who is in power, but help us to fix our eyes on you, the author and perfecter of our faith. We know that there are consequences to our sin even if we repent. We trust that even in battle when we are faithful, YOU never leave us. Grant us wisdom so we can clearly see our hope in every circumstance. Help us to most importantly to lead our family and friends in truth. 🙏🏻
Without your explanations, I would never read or even listen to the Old Testament. Thank you for all you do and may God continue to bless and guide you.
Same, I don't think I would of understood it, if left to my own devices. Thanks Fr Mike. 👍🙏❤️
So agree with you ladies. Too difficult to read the Bible on my own. Would never understand without Fr Mike doing his commentary. Bless you Fr
Josiahhhhh my man 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤ darn yer evil ways pharaoh neco!!!!! Josiah made right the sins of his forefathers, that's so attractive ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 that really makes him stick out in a manly way as a king usong his jurisdiction, but as a man of God who broke through tradition, social expectations, regional expectations. From a natural perspective thats incredibly attractive, from a spiritual perspective its like water in the desert. I like that alot.❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
God bless you Fr. Mike!
Thanks be to GOD❤❤❤❤Amen prayers Father Mike Amen 🙏
Thank you so much Father for all these Bible lessons. The Bible really comes alive with all your explanations. 😎🙂❤

Thank you for this daily reminder of how important it is to hear & read God's word; how truly necessary it is to learn about our Catholic line of worship.
✝️🙏📿🌬🤲🏽🕊
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey Amen 🙏
Thank u Father Mike 💫
The more we trust God's will the more we are blessed🌠
'Did you know
God created time, God is outside the timing that he created. You ask who created God because you are in timing, God is not confined within what He created, god outside timing, it has no beginning and no end.
Thank you father mike for sharing the bible God Bless
Thank You Father Mike for sharing the Bible with all of us. It is a true blessing to be able tot understand the word of our Lord. It helps us to grow closer to our God. Praying for Father Mike and anyone else who is in need of prayers
To rely on God ….
“the Spirit of Counsel that we may choose the surest way of doing Your will, seeking first the Kingdom;” AMEN 🙏🏾
WOW.. I actually cried when i read that king Josiah was slain in battle in 2 kings reading. I thought why would God allow such a faithful good man to die? I know when ever i doubt the Lords actions, its 'my missunderstanding of God's mercy'. In 2 chronicles 34 the knings men go to Huldah the prophetess. In verses 26, 27 and 28 she says that" he shall go to his grave in peace and not see the calamity which will come to this place". So God did not want this good king to see His wrath. I know there is more to this story...so lets see tommoro how it unfolds. Blessings to all. 📖💖👍
Wonderful how you 🎀 ribbon in the days' reading with what is happening presently in our/the world! Blessings Father Mike ✨🙏🏻⚔️
The Bible is as relevant as ever only names and places changed.
Thank you Father Mike, I cannot wait ... to see you tomorrow.
Thank you Rev Fr Mike ......thanks be to God.
Thanks to God for revealing His heart and wisdom.
amen
🙏❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful!!! Thank you! And I love how we can read as we listen! THANK YOU!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Thank You Fr Mike To Keep Me More To Understand The Word Of God After You Explain
Amen 🙏
Father Mike I have learned so much from your teachings that I have an even greater love for the Bible. My question on day 189 is why didn’t you finish Proverb 8.
Thank you so much for your guidance Father Mike!
Please join me in praying for Souls in Purgatory.
Consider listening to the Marian Press Podcast of Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year with Father Roesch. It is also on CZcams and each day’s reading is about 7 minutes long.
God Bless You.

Really enjoy listening to this podcast.
Thank you 7 1/2 months In so excited to keep going. Praying for all🙏🙏
Praying lord bless America 🇺🇸 remove all evil and Death 🙏🙏🙏❤️🌹💪🩸🇺🇸🎵
I’ve been reflecting on something; it seems history is repeating itself, or perhaps providence. I see the reformation and Protestants as the kingdom of the north and Catholicism/orthodox as the south remaining true to our Lord. Also seems we’re on the precipice of exile in this post Vatican II world.
Might be too soon but maybe in another language next or the catechism in a year
This is a gift needless to say
I would love a Catechesim in a Year!
@@jeca5053 thank God it’s going to happen
Thank you to everyone at BIAY
Thank you so much!!!
🙏
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️
I think the Lord allowed Josiah to die to fulfill His promise to not see the wrath. 2 Chronicles 28. My thoughts
What I would give to have a chat with Josiah.
“ everyone is responsible for his own house”
Kings and Queendoms all pass away
Only
My House will
FOLLOW LORD
ADONI JESUS YAHSUHA
🙏🙏🙏🤗❤️
Still hangin'....
🙏🏽
🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏
I had a hard time with this one - the Lord tells Josiah because he has essentially as we say been the best king, following all the ways of the Lord, the Lord will bring him home so he doesn’t have to see the fall of the nation…..but he gets taken out in battle that is how he was spared? I must be missing something but that did not feel like justice.
Just read answer on day 190 in 2 chronicles 35:20
I did something that I should not have done. I left the church I came back to the church did my confessions on that. I'll be back 14 months I'm enjoying going to mass receiving Holy Communion because Jesus Christ said disciples unless you eat my body drink my blood you have no life . The Holy Communion is Jesus Christ actual body add a wine is Jesus blood that's not symbol

Day 189: June 29, 2022. ✅
Proverbs 8:13
Fear of the Lord is hatred of evil ; pride and
arrogance , and the way of evil , and
perverted speech , I hate.
May 18 2022
I'm still paying for my consequences. I love the church I came back what's a confession God forgive me I go to mass every holy day I go to Mass I'm a practicing a Catholic. My consequences is because I left the church even though I came back I caused my wife well she doesn't go to church anymore she just stays home sleeps well I'm at Mass if she sees me when I go to Mass and she's my wife sees me when I come home. That's my consequences I feel lonely my wife is not with me when I go to Mass my kids are not with me when I go to Mass I have a daughter that's 16-year-old. Hudson boys I'm always asking my boys do you want to go with that and go to Mass. I've always asked for boys if you don't come with that they don't want to go because they like playing games on the phone that's why my family take me home and it's all my fault if I would have not left the church my family would still be going with me to mess.
Thank you Fr Mike
