Today we begin reading the book of the prophet Isaiah and the book of Tobit! Fr. Mike helps us understand the historical context of Isaiah's ministry to Judah, and the themes of condemnation and consolation present in his writings. As we enter into the book of Tobit, Fr. Mike emphasizes Tobit's virtuous character. Today we read Isaiah 1-2, Tobit 1-2, and Proverbs 9:7-12.
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!

July 10, 2024 Wednesday. Here I am.
I love the Book of Tobit!
Me too ✋
Here 👋🙏
🙋🏼♂️
I have had someone from another Christian denomination quote a line from Isaiah to me to try to condemn the Catholic Church for using incense during worship, saying that it is 'an abomination' to the Lord. I knew that there was something wrong with the person's interpretation but I didn't know exactly what it was. But now Fr Mike has made it so clear. God did not appreciate their worship (which included their sacrifices, burnt offerings, and use of incense) because their hearts were far from Him. God had no problem with the worship itself, but with the worshippers! Thank you for making that so clear Fr. Mike. People need to be careful about taking one line of scripture and just running with it. They need to understand the context in which it was given.
Great point! Very important!
I read the book of Tobit a few years ago. Really enjoyed it. As a convert I feel bad for the protestants missing out on really great books of the bible that aren't in the heretical KJV version.
Pray for the protestants and other heresy religions. I pray we all can become members of the church Jesus started.
Amen! I have many protestant family members who are very anti Catholic. I pray for them many times a day that they will find their way Home to the truth our Lord!!
Welcome Home and God bless you!!
Day 192..new books yes!
Day 192. Watching this in conjunction with the Bible Project's Summary of The Book of Isaiah Part 1. Both videos complement each other. Thank you, as always, Fr. Mike. Praying for you and all priests and religious, and all the faithful.
10JUL2024. Day 192. O Lord, I give you permission to override my "free will" and "pull" me back into the herd even though it may be hurtful. Thank you, Lord, for your love.
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.
Day 192 🎉🎉❤❤
The Prophet Isaiah. Wednesday July 10th, 2024. Glory to God for ever and ever 🙏❤❤
Thank you, Fr. Mike. I'm looking forward to reading the Book of Tobit. As a Catholic I am not familiar with his writings. I'm already hooked after the first two chapters! I love your example of the prophet Isiah as a parent calling up the stairs to the two brothers who are arguing - telling them to "knock it off" and "you don't want me to come up there!" I have two sons (now both in their thirties) and we live in a two story house. This example is completely relatable!
A fun and eventful episode!
*Love the book of Tobit that seems like a way of showing how we can do our best to follow God no matter who we are with and where we are! The story is quite interesting as Tobit buried the dead (respecting the dead bodies), never stole, did charity, put others first, and lived like a good father. His wife and son Tobias were also very diligent. It does have a similar message to that of Job. No matter how good we do, sometimes we face setbacks but we should not cease to do good.
*Great facts about the prophetic books, and the major prophet Isaiah and how his ministry primarily focused on Judah because the Northern Kingdom was destroyed in 724 BC. Sad to hear the legend that says how Isaiah's life was ended by Manassah.
* Proverbs are awesome as always. Wisdom and insight being two of the most important things in life. Much more than riches.
Thank you so much, Fr. Mike and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners
"No matter what others are doing, we can always do what God is asking us to do." Yes! I love this. Thank you, Fr. Mike!
AMEN 🙏.
God's discipline is always oriented towards salvation.
I just wanted to comment that St. Raphael, a big character in the book of Tobit, is a real angel. St. Raphael is one of the main archangels and is a healing saint. I pray for St. Raphael's intercession in my life and for others.

Round Two
Saint Faustina pray for us.
Oh my, Tobit is just like so many over the centuries. It isnt always 'clear' from outside that you are doing something that God called you to do, but Tobit knew himself and God, and just did those acts of charity ( kinda weird that bodies were left in the open in those times )...but Tobit knew to bury them & honour their lives! Very cool!
As someone who works nights and is always busy, these videos help me out a lot!
Nice to hear that.
Father I am praying for you. Amen
We stand with Israel 🇮🇱
Thanks be to GOD❤❤❤prayers Father Mike Amen 🙏
Lord, Praise be to your name now and forever. We come to you in repentance - that you’d make us white as snow, clothed in your son so that we can be the worshippers you’ve asked us to be. Help us to do what is right no matter the cost, the place or what everyone else is doing around us. May we be a light to the world to see Jesus in all we say and do. 🙏🏻
The word of God is beautiful and merciful
Let’s go! The prophet Isaiah and the first deuterocanonical: Tobit!
Praying we all become the people and worshipers that God wants.
I really appreciate Fr. Mike explaining the history and culture. It makes the Bible easier to understand and makes it come to live. Thank you Father Mike. 😍😘🥰❤
I need to be a worshipper that God asked for!
June 23, 2022
I literally was 32 years old when I found out that there's a Book of Tobit 😅
God's Abundant Blessings On You Father Mike ❤❤
I am so grateful in finding the BIAY community! Fr. Mike, you are a great servant of GOD! Praying for you and All the Priests!
Interestingly, Rabbinic tradition holds that Isaiah was Hezekiah's father-in-law and Manasseh's grandfather. It shows how depraved Manansseh was before his conversion that he would saw in half not merely a prophet of God but his own grandfather, but I suppose the utter lack of natural affection is to be expected from a man who sacrificed his own son to idols.
Interesting that Father conveniently skips over that!!!!!!
The book of Tobit is one of my favourite book in the Bible .
Father Mike, you're such a fabulous reader. If you ever get fired as a priest, reading is a viable Plan B for a career. 😁 I'm just thrilled to be able to enjoy both of your talents as a reader and as a priest. Thank you for shining your bright heart light in the world 🙏♥️😊
God bless you Fr. Mike!
Powerful ❤❤❤
Thank you Father Mike, your hard work is truly appreciated. Tony from Brisbane Australia
We're looking down the hill guys. We're gonna get through this together to finish this journey.
Thank you Father Mike. God bless.
First time hearing Tobit.

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.
Carrying Dawn M's mantle please pray for the holy souls in purgatory, they need our prayers.
Consider listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year on the Marian Press Podcast. Each day's reading is just about 7 minutes long. So worth it. 7/11/2022
Amen. I discovered that recently through comments, like yours, and I watch 1-2 videos daily. Jesus, I trust You.
Jesus I trust in you 🙏❤
God help me want what you want more than what I want🙏❤️💯🙏🙏🙏🌹
I have been faithful for all 192 days but since they came on CZcams I have not heard the podcast. I love to read alone while I wait for my Great Adventure Bible! 🥰. This really had made it more interactive for me. Thank you so much!
Thank You Lord For All The Blessings Amen
Please PRAY 🙏JAAN 🙏today CHOOSEN EUTHANASIA 👋♥️🙏
Thank u Father Mike 💫
Holiness is doing God's will and what our Lord has called us to do in our life.🕊
How providential is that?! Today's first reading at Mass was from Isaiah chapter 1...!
Thank you Fr:Mike for your sharing of the books especially Tobit, thank you for your inspirations and motivations and thank you very the BIAY. God bless you alway
Thank you, for your sensitivity, being docile to the Holy Spirit, and linking the healing of Jairus's daughter with the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, Our Lady of Perpetual Help , can read in America as a judgement from God.
The readings from the Prophet Isaiah are so very interesting. I ask you Lord Jesus to always help me do what is right and never fail you.
Fr. Mike you explain the word of God so well. Thank you for the BIAY. We love you, pray for you and all of us. God Bless.
Love your videos! You earned a new subscriber (Me). Keep up with the good work and spreading the Gospel.
Thank you Father Mike for this prayer! Needed this prayer. Yes, no matter who we are living with! Stay focused and faithful. Amen! 🙏
Thanks!
This is awesome! I had never heard any of the apocrypha before other than one passage of Maccabees.
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey Amen 🙏
Thank you
God bless
I have always loved the story of Tobit ,have read it a few times I love the historical books in my Bible.
It’s included in the theology of the body for teens and is so powerful.
Thank you father mike for the words of god Amen 🙏
Thank you Fr. Mike and I am praying for everyone following. You are a gift from God.
Please pray that I will do God's will in my life.🙏🙏🙏💝

Wow it gets so powerful message everyday. Thank you Fr. Mike.
Hi and thank you Fr Mike and everyone with Ascension Press
I was hoping we'd get an explanation for why Tobit accused his wife of stealing the goat, when she hadn't actually done that. Also, can anyone here tell me if the Great Adventure Bible has maps in it that show these countries along with their modern names?
I know!!!!! Exactly!!!!! Father just conveniently skips over this whole story. Of course he tries to summarize all the first two Chapters of Tobit in under 2 minutes. Maybe he shouldn't have read so much of Isaiah or maybe they ought to have edited out his gushing over Isaiah to give more time to interpret what was read in Tobit. He did a grave disservice to us listeners and he dates then ask for prayers? My prayer is they find a better Priest.
"Tobit taken captive..." i never knew that.
Thank you.
Please pray for me.🇻🇦
Praying for you.
Thank you Father Mike, this was wonderful reading and learning. God bless, you all.🙏
May we continue to listen to godly wisdom 🙏🏾
“Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”
James 1:21
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
I have Protestant friends that always want to save me. What is the best way to tell them I don’t need their help. I am Catholic and so thankful for that.
🙏🏻
For added color, see the classic poem of Lord Byron: The Desruction of Sennacherib
I love the story of Tobit, so heartwarming and inspiring. Thanks Fr. Mike S - may God bless you always!
Thanks Father Mike and Team
Keep up the good work. I am praying you all, please pray for me.

Hi Fr Mike, I'm here again, one year later. Thank you again
I am considering that too. Anyone that can complete 1year and go back to catch the details of the difficult verses will be able to help their soul and that of their friends and family...

In 2022, today (day 192) is Monday of the Fifteenth week of ordinary time. The reading was from Isaiah 1. Go figure.
I may be ahead of myself. What about Daniel and the lions den?
Tobit kind of written in parable form?
