🙏 See below for the an Act of Spiritual Communion:
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.

Could do with prayers today it is my 40th Birthday and spent it totally alone and this service is what has given me strength. God Bless Fr Mike and everyone
Happy Birthday!
Judith - special prayers for you on YOUR special day! Embrace 40. Run with it! Jesus is with you all the way. 🙏🏻
Happy Birthday! You’re in my prayers, Judith!
Happy Birthday You are never alone. Jesus is celebrating your life with you. Jesus loves you!
When I am alone I connect somehow with others either online or just outside looking at nature, smiling at others.God bless you today and have a holy happy year! 🎂🎚
Happy Birthday Judith. Have a wonderful day.🎂❤️
I am so very grateful for this virtual mass. I have not been able to go outside of my home since before the pandemic. I am confined to my home and it is a blessing to be able to see and hear Fr. mike and hear God’s words. I pray god will find a way to allow this to continue for a long time. I know there are others out there that are confined to their homes, even without the pandemic. Thank you God, and all those who give their time to make this mass possible.
I am also so very grateful for Fr. Mike Schmitz and what he is doing for all of us. God bless him always! I hope that circumstances improve for you. God bless you my friend. Keep the faith! Tuning in to Ascension Presents helps me a lot too.
Great homily Father! Thank you!🙏❤️✝️🕊💟 please pray for my husband who is undergoing chemo and radiation for throat cancer... peace be with you
Fr. Mike, please continue streaming the Holy Mass online. We are an Indian family working in Oman, in the Middle East. Our churches are closed here. We are deprived of sacraments and H.Mass. We love your homilies. We regularly listen to your talks on Ascension Presents too. Thank you very much for inspiring us to be alive in the Catholic Faith.
Pray for the homeless people in the United States of America. There are too many.
Even when things get back to normal and we are able to return to mass in person. I hope and pray that you will still broadcast the mass. Listening to Father Mike's sermons has been a blessing and a constant encouragement in living out my relationship With Jesus Christ.
God bless you Father Mike.
That’s what I was thinking, I would miss these so much.
Thank you! I have had these very same thoughts. While I realize Fr. Mike has other duties, and many of us will return to our own churches, discovering this 'virtual front pew' during the pandemic has been such an abundant blessing! I have not been able to return to mass in my own church, but I will continue to seek Fr Mike's online celebrations of Mass even after returning to Mass in person.
I agree. Fr Mike has been inspirational during the pandemic and we hope will continue broadcasting after this is over.
I would like these to still continue here too. I live on southeastern Wisconsin.but fr mike is my favorite
I honestly dread the idea of not hearing Father Mike's homilies. Even when I go locally I listen to his because they are so good.
Fr. Mike has a podcast of his homilies
I hope that, even as we return to Sunday Mass in-person, you continue putting this on CZcams. There is no reason why we can't go to our local churches AND listen to you. The Internet needs this, and I hope and pray the Catholic Church continues this exact kind of outreach to the world. It isn't only Catholics who are watching.
EXACTLY!
I go to Mass then listen to online homilies as well. Love listening to Fr Mike and hope he does continue to broadcast his Sunday Mass
If/when he does stop Mass on CZcams, he uploads his homilies on the Apple Podcasts app! I listened to them even before this virtual front pew. He also uploads lots of other helpful videos on this channel
If there is no socket, there is no light.
We need to be connected to Jesus all the time.
I have never watched a Catholic mass before now! I am Lutheran. But Fr. Mike, is so amazing to watch as he shares the Word. Passion!
I'm suffering a lot right now. Please please pray for me
Prayers for you!! Don't worry!!
Christ died, resurrected and rose again. May He comfort you, adore Him, trust Him, seek Him for Christ is close.
🙏
Prayers for you 🙏
I am praying for you Joshua..God bless you and be encouraged
Rev Father please say a prayer for my papa Anthony Mendes who is on the ventilator fighting covid , Doctor has given 24 to 48 hours we are in Mumbai , India.
Praying for speedy recovery 🙏
🙏🏻✝️
Health be upon him!
God Bless your Fatherxx
May God give your father his loving grace, his healing touch, and grant you and your family courage, love and wisdom.🙏
Thank you Father Mike, you helped me find my way back to the mass and Jesus. Bless you.

The rain was tapping gently on my window while I attended this Mass today from Germany. What a blessing! 💜 Thank you so very much. 🙏🏼 If anyone feels like it, a little prayer, a little thought would be lovely so that I may make loving and peace producing decisions that are for the gentlest best of everyone. Amen. 🌟🙏🏼💜
God bless you, Gill May the Lord wrap His arms around you. LUV
Many blessings Fr Mike! Thank you for your Masses online. We are in lockdown in Ontario Canada and very frustrated but things will change soon. I am following on you in The Bible in a Year and hanging in. I love it and it has changed me in many ways so thank you.
The Holy Spirit truly speaks through you! Your words were what I needed today! Thank you Fr Mike!
I watch Fr. Mike’s homilies even after going to my own parish Mass bc they always speak to me😂 definitely what I needed to hear as a busy and often-overwhelmed college student! It gets hard making so many decisions for my future or little things every day but I cannot be perfect or always choose the perfect option. We just need to remain in His Love and we will be directed on a good path❤️
You are so right Fr Mike 💗🙏 We are constantly restless especially in our modern world 😣
I believe relationships & quality time with loved ones & God is priority and most important part of life 💗🙋🏻 God Bless you Fr Mike 👼🏻 You are wise & insightful beyond your years 💗🙂
Thank you Fr. Mike for these virtual mass celebrations. God bless you. 🙌
Thank u Fr. Mike. I'm from Mumbai, India and its 3 mins to midnight here. I found ur Mass accidently. But I've watched several of ur videos. U r doing a great job as a young priest, a model for youth and old to follow. May God continue to use u powerfully. GOOD NIGHT
Elizabeth I too watch Father Mike he is great. Another great priest is Father Mark Goring.
This homily was THE BEST teaching that I remember ever hearing, a life lesson that when implemented in our lives will produce incredible JOY and peace. God bless and protect you, Fr Mike!
THANK YOU FR.MIKE GLORY BE TO GOD !! ✝️❤️ !!
Thank you for this Father Mike, I really hope you can keep doing this virtual masses since I still can't go. Your words have really inspired me and I hope you can keep inspiring all of us.
@@blesscal803 thank you so much! I'll check it out! :)
Please pray I pass organic chemistry 2. Thank you❤️ Luv u Father Mike
O Chem is hard! You are in my prayers!
You got this!
God, creator of every element, may reveal to you the formulas and responses required to have top grade. Study in peace. Amen.
The lord is with you.. belive in it... And keep studying... Don't think of anything else till your exams get over!
Who does this white girl think she is! it’s not like she won the national championship for volleyball
Thank you Father Mike. Keep in prayer members of broken marriages please.
Canada here, please keep the masses going as we are still in full lockdown for the near future. God Bless!
Thank you Fr. for keeping this mass going, we really appreciate it because your Northern neighbours are still under lockdown and unable to attend mass in person. God Bless you!
Thank you father mike love your mass and homily l follow your bible in a year thank you for this Joan Manitoba Canada
Father Mike, I appreciated this mass. It definitely empowered me to limit my choices to serve the ones I love. Thank you!
My work is my prayer, and my service is to each of my coworkers, whom I am taking extra responsibilities, due to one being injured, the other, being in quarantine. For I am the person, whom the rest rely on, to sanitize, and clean our lunchroom, washrooms, and shops. That is my daily prayer, and my service to God. My pre-sleep prayer is to Mary, Our Father, and asking protection from my guardian angel. I pray for you, Fr. Mike, and thank you for your Homilies, and my awakening to the teachings of Christ. I miss the days spent in studies, at St. Peter's College in Muenster, which is run by the Benedictine Monks of St. Peter's Abbey, and the Sisters of St. Bruno, and the home of "The Prairie Messenger". It was there I learned that my study and work, was my prayer.
Hi everyone! Cindy & Mike here from Toronto area in Canada. I find so much value in Ft. Mike's homilies - i'm sure many of you can relate. Anyway, since this is such a faith-filled community, I thought I would humbly ask for prayers. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 4 years without ANY luck. We have a wonderful Napro doctor who has been walking us through treatments in-line with the Catholic Church, however nothing has worked. Although our faith can always be stronger - I am comforted by the thought that God has done so many wonderful things for us and so I trust that he knows what is best for us. This doesn't make infertility any less difficult. I will also pray for members of this community. If you can sneak us into some prayers I really appreciate it. Hugs**
“Where am I going to be plugged in?” The Best timing and location for me towards conversion 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Many thanks to Ascension Presents and everyone who helps to bring this Mass to us online. I found this channel by accident at a time when I was/am questioning my faith. Fr. Mike, you have a gift and you are a blessing. Your sermons are so meaningful and helpful. I will keep you in my prayers always.
Thank you, Father Mike. I needed to come back & listen to this Mass. I give thanks to God for the messages you instill. God be with & protect you.
Thank you Fr Mike for helping us root ourselves in Jesus Our God!
Thank you father Mike, god bless you. Just started watching your masses from Brazil. Thank you.
Remember to pray for Fr. Mike! We are all challenged spiritually and I'm sure its no different for him. I have it on my heart to tell you all to pray for him so please do so
God Bless you all 🙏
"Without me, you can do nothing," Jesus says. Very true, Fr. Mike. Those students are so blessed to have you. Your lectors do a fine job, BTW. I love the power cord description. God bless your sweet mother, I hope she has a fantastic Mother's Day!
This celebration of the mass never disappoints my heart and soul. Thanks Father Mike. Praying you continue this online mass into the summer as my mom can't get out to attend mass here in Canada.
I feel so fortunate that I am able to still attend mass through this platform and hope this continues as well. I got married last year and was so lucky to have been married in our church with only 10 attendees. I have recently welcomed my first born healthy baby boy and still and have not been out since March of last year and not attending mass in person. I just received my baby’s birth certficate and want to baptize him. I feel so bad because I have not taken part of my community though still listening to mass through here through youtube. ‘May God Bless Us all as we navigate through all these changes in our world. Being a mom is a dream come true and just feel soo blessed. Thankyou my Lord for allowing me to be a mom. Thank you Father Mike for all you do. My sister and mom listen to you as well and we all love you and appreciate your messages and approach
This mass is a huge blessing! 🙏 Thank you!
I really enjoy listening to Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Thank you Fr Mike, I love listening to you, you help me put things into good perspective.
God bless you father! From Ontario, Canada.
What a beautiful homily Father Mike! Honestly I’ve been struggling in my prayer life these past couple weeks and your message just gave me the strength I’ve been looking for. Thank you very much Father Mike. Please I ask you humbly to pray for me, and I’ll be praying for you all. God bless you!!
I am not able to attend Mass in person, as I live too far away from my local parish and I don’t have any transportation. The virtual front pew has been such a blessing to me. I stumbled on to this channel by the great grace of God during a time when I was very hungry spiritually. Thank you Father Mike for the blessings that you have given to myself and so many others.
Note; Father Goring is as great as well. I watch Frs. Schmitz and Goring
as they are both so wonderful, and loving priests who care about their flock
God bless you, Martha. I was fortunate to attend Holy Mass today which is only 3 minutes
a way so I really have no excuse not to go.
@@sme7385 I might have to check him out.
MY word you are truly a saint.I needed to hear all you said God Bless you always.
Thank you Father and God bless you forever
I'm so grateful for this Mass, here in the UK my local Parish is open but if you don't book early enough you don't get a space! (social distancing requirements means enforced limits)
My children love this, my wife and I love this.. The preach is always incredible.
May God continue to bless your powerful ministry Fr M.
I think in future we'll tune in to pick up the preach even when we attend Mass in person because it's on point and it's powerful... With real and strong challenges that are accessible to the whole family.
Really appreciate this, will pray you can find a way to keep it on through the summer!
Great advice in your homily today Father Mike.Thank you for a wonderful mass.
Give like to his mass everyone. May God bless all viewers. May the Virgen Mary bless us too!
Thank you Fr Mike. From Johannesburg 🇿🇦
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Father Mike.
So thankful for this online mass today. I totally agree, mass needs to be in person if at all possible. If people are going out for other reasons, they can attend mass. However, it is nice to have this available for those who can not go to mass. I wasn't really expecting to attend mass online again, but I currently have COVID so was unable to go in person today. Send up a quick glory be for me if you see this message. I'm supposed to have graduation next week too!
Prayers for India 🙏🏻😢
Hello Father Mike and staff, we are from Winnipeg,Canada and we have been following you every Sunday mass. We are very grateful to hear mass through your channel and very thankful that we will still be able to hear it throughout this lockdown. Our goal one day is to hear your mass in person when all of this is over. Again thank you very much and God bless us all always.
Praying for all of you and please, all of you, pray for me.
Amen ! May God & Mother Mary Bless Everyone & You ! ❤️✝️ !!
Blessings from Mexico! Thank you for everything father Mike 🙏
Hi Father Mike. I’m from Canada and in lockdown. I cannot attend public Mass and greatly appreciate your online Mass. Please keep it up!! You are changing lives and I am so grateful for all that you are doing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Debra
Thank you Father Mike for the mass and Ascension team for also making it possible.
Amen 🙏.
Thank you for offering the mass. I pray that our bishops will stand up for our souls and our need to be at the actual foot of Jesus, our saviour. Open our churches throughout North America.
I want to be “plugged into Jesus!” Thank You Father Mike! 🙏🏻❤️
Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 Fr Mike I watch all your videos and you really inspire me to get to know and love Jesus more intimately. Please Fr. Mike pray for Ireland we are still in lockdown with no Mass or sacraments since January. Although they let thousands of people into the country but we can't go 5k down the road?? Our beautiful Church and faith are classed as less than non essential. Please pray for Ireland as its not in the media but Catholic and Christians are being targeted. Certain high contact sports are allowed but we can't join with Jesus with all the safe protocols in place. Please we need your prayers as you said today in the gospel we cannot be cut off from the vine. I offer up all my sufferings for the Lords Will be done. Fr. Mike thank you for your videos, talks, Holy Mass they really do give me strength at a time like this. May God bless you Father and all your works 🙏🙏🙏
God Bless you Fr. Mike and thank you from our family in Toronto💞
Yes please! We need you in Canada!
Thank you, Father Mike, and all the rest of you contributing to make this video. Much love and strength to all of you. 🙏😊💘
Queen of Heaven, rejoice! Alleluia! For the Lord that you deserved to carry, resurrected as per His Word. Alleluia! Pray to God for us. Alleluia!
Amen, Father. I go to the Chapel on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm at my Church. It helps me relax and get ready for the week ahead. I have cried, relaxed, napped ( while listening) to music or the Bible. I have prayed the rosaryor whatever I choose to do for the day. After listening to you, I am going to see if I can get some more time in the Chapel. Bless you.
Thank you for this lovely mass and homily.
I pray you keep having Mass , It has been ,... my saving 🙏🏻❤️
I am always joking with my family that after the pandemic is over and we no longer have Fr Mike for masses are moving to Duluth!
Thank you father Mike..and thank your remembering us here in Canada..we need your masses so much. Still under stay at home orders. We are so thankful
Obrigada Pde Mike. Este sermão é muito importante. Deus vos guarde.
I enjoy praying mass with Fr.Mike, his masses are absolutely beautiful. I hope and pray that his masses will continue to be livestreamed, even as the world begins to open. I am from out of state and cannot join your parish unless I travel.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to attend this online mass. Also appreciate that you are continuing this service. We are presently under lockdown in India. We need prayers for the suffering and dying. Lord have mercy on all my brethren in India.
It is much easier to love God through doing things with God and to invite Him to be a part of our lives each day. It is more fun to talk to God and to share with Him our issues, and the Lord will reciprocate or shed some lights to guide us through the maze when we least expect it. We have to be creative and make it fun so it is just natural to live In God each day.
Thank you God bless you Fr
Thank you Father Mike and Ascension Presents for allowing us to receive the Mass here in Ontario, and thank you for continuing. I was worried for a second
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏Holy Spirit Guide us and direct our paths 🙏
Amen!
Thank you, Father Mike. I searched for your mass online after learning from you in the Bible in a Year on the Hallow app (great app, btw)! I hope you will continue doing the weekly masses for those of us that do not go in person. Can you provide a PayPal link for people to donate to your ministry?
Mary can’t do anything brother..Jesus ONLY is our mediator
Thank you for this service! We go to local Mass AND we love to run home and join this Mass! "Let's go see what Fr. Mike has to share!" Our daughters are in college and we feel connected to them as a family when we join together in sharing this Mass across our state! We would love to contribute! I'll look to see where we can make our donation!
Thank you for all you do. 🙏✝️🙏
I think with your enthusiasm and joy in your love for God you will call many back to God. I wish for you to become a Pope someday. Wouldn't that be glorious for us gentiles to see your love and joy at the Vatican window
I have stopped watching Mass and become more fully involved in sacrificing and worshipping God. Thank you for all you have done to bring me closer to God. B
Thank you. Been listening to the Bible in a year podcast and dunes in first time.
Thank you Father Mike for thinking about your neighbours from the north.
What a great reminder Fr. Mike. 🙏✝️🙏
I’m so grateful for these videos.
Blessings father, thank you so much for the virtual mass. I am truly blessed by your words. Every Sunday I listen to your más and then go to mass at church. I have problems hearing so I really don’t hear or understand what the priest of our church is saying. I love your mad because I can raise the volume and there are no echos . Please keep broadcasting your mad. Blessings
Thank you Father Mike!
Thank You for you service father Mike Have a blessed Sunday greetings from B.C. Canada
Please include in your prayers Oscar Cadena Mora whom is dying of cancer... Doctors believe he may not make it pass this week.
Dear Father Mike remember me in your prayer so that I can pass my NET exam. Thank you. 🙏
Father taught an important point. "Remain" means Inclusion means plugged in means precise Decision which means freedom. Thank you, Father.
Excellent mass, Father, and not very different from England (we get communion, which I’m not sure happened here). We don’t get singing, but I’m glad you have the Archangel Michael prayer, which isn’t included in the English Catholic Mass.
That was a uniquely effective beginning because it is so true.another thing to work on..many thanks again Fr Mike SCHMITZ
Praying you will be still live streaming past the pandemic. Such a blessing. Thank you Fr. Mike
God help me. Those He has given me to love don't want my love.
Please pray I get the job that I want. Thx🙏💗🙏
We unplug our kitchen appliances when not in use. I'm always a Follower of Christ so I always want to be plugged in.
Happy Sunday!
Hi guys, I have a AP Calculus Test on Tuesday and I really want the score 4 or 5. Please pray for me!! 🙏🏻
If it is Gods' will, may you do your best 👍
Oof, I know the feeling. Definitely will pray for you ☺️
Holy Spirit please be with @Steph -anie 🕊🔥 Allow her to have a good nights of sleep and able to eat well prior. Please clear her brain and have her absorb all that she studied. You want a 4 or 5 s you get college credit, I get it but maybe your future spouse will be in the class you wouldn’t have taken if you had three more college credits. So, whatever Trust in Jesus - He knows our future better than we do! [ok we wanted our son accepted to ____Univ and applied early but devastated, he didn’t get in . He then submitted app to ____at last minute - met his now wife an Int’l student ......that taught me a lot!,,
May God grant your top grade. Learn in peace.
My son is also taking the AP Calc on Tuesday so I will pray for you as you prepare. And as other commenters have said, trust in Jesus...ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind what you have studied. May you have the Peace of Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a blessed sunday
