🙏 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.

Father Mike, I am not Catholic but have felt my heart so opened from your Homilies through Lent and up to Holy Thursday. Today your words moved me forever. God is speaking through you to us. You are such a blessing. Thank you Father Mike.

On the night when we were worst, Jesus gave us his best 🙏

Phenomenal homily on the Eucharist! Best I’ve heard in my long life!!✝️💟

[juandiegoriosaguirre]

Fr Mike, this has been a life changing Lent for me, thanks for your great homilies over the last weeks, I hope you brothers and sister are living the same experience. God bless you all!

The closed captioning is a real blessing. I have nerve deafness and haven’t “heard” a sermon in over 30 years. Thank you Ascension Presents and you Fr. Mike for your inspired words.

[joycefung]

Thank you Jesus for giving us Fr. Mike

[vincebacani]

Thank you, Father Mike and Team. What a moving homily to start off the Triduum: We come to Jesus with our worst, and He always gives us His best. You inspired me to revisit all the Masses I have skipped over the years. May I work to earn God's forgiveness for these betrayals. Bless you all.

[sloanjackson]

This was the best homily I've ever heard.. and this is not glorifying Fr. Mike as much as it is glorifying who and what he is pointing to. The supper of the Lamb has never been so clear to me, and neither my calling to attend it. Blessed be God forever.

[dennisrossetti]

I do so love listening to your insightful homilies, Fr Mike.

[FrankRiosb]

Awesome! I get out of Mass to come home to watch Father Mike. Sounds like a great Holy Thursday.

[catherinedavida]

Father Mike THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL HOLY THURSDAY MASS.

[sheryljones]

Fr Mike, on this Holy Thursday when we also celebrate the “priesthood”, May God bless your life and the lives of all priests. You are a gift and an inspiration to all who hear your voice. Thank you for one of the most moving Homilies you have ever given. God bless you🙏

[lucilleowen]

Thank you. This has been my best Lent ever due to Father's talks and the Bible in a year podcasts. Mass and the Eucharist have more meaning and reality for me.

[debharris]

Fantastic homily, Father! Thanks for being here for us. Thanks for the Bible in a year podcast.

[donjiela]

Fr Mike hitting us with a master class on the Eucharist!!! God bless you Fr. Mike for your ability to lead us deep into theology and reflection and never holding back on truth. Sometimes your homilies are uncomfortable but I am comforted in knowing that you seek to provide truth over comfort and don’t want to led us astray

[tsr]

Nailed it again with your homily! Tears are real. Thank you

[ewaevans]

Hi from the UK Fr. Mike! I've been to Mass of the Last Supper in real life and so happy to have received Holy Communion on this special day. I have stayed awake with the Lord until 1am UK time to watch your mass live too (we're 8 hours ahead...). Easter wouldn't be the same without you!

[vuhoang]

Thank you so much for explaining our Catholic story so easy to understand that summarized the whole bible's ultimate goal of God's. Amen to all the beautiful words of truth you bear for our Lord, Jesus Christ's glory. May we be saved through His Grace and Mercy for all of our sins. "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have Mercy on us and on the whole world."

[rosieroberts]

Thank you for your Sermon!!
You bring us closer to JESUS, even when we feel close to JESUS!!!
May God bless you always!!
