Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Mass with Fr. Mike Schmitz

Join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he celebrates Sunday Mass at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Finally, we also ask you to continue supporting your local parishes. Thank you and God bless you!

🙏 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.

You completely spoke to my heart today .. I walk through life with anxiety .. its almost crippling at times. I have felt alone and forsaken lately .. Wow .. Father Mike has been one of the only people who have led me to believe lately .. thank you .

There were two people in my life that brought to God . One was a very old woman who suffered tremendously in her life' Two world wars, economic collapse, children dyeing at very young age, struggle with everything even as basic as basic as food. She had tremendous faith and i needed to have that. The other brought me back after a time away. She is looked down upon by many Catholics although she does not consider herself 'new age'. She gave me all new insights into God that I had never seen before. She had tremendous wisdom. The people who keep me here are people like you.

Thank you Father Mike! Your sermons always leave me speechless, mouth open! Yet they are challenging - exactly what I need! I feel yearnings in my heart to attend mass more often than just on Sundays. Your Weekly masses give me that opportunity to attend mass more often. I am eternally grateful!

[threedudes]

Father Mike is the best priest I have ever listened to!! I am forever grateful that our family has found him!!

A comment about God's timing, re: today's sermon on trusting the Lord cuz He wants the best for me...no need for me to question that, since a horrible situation happened a few days ago and here I am today (a week late!) listening as if God is speaking just to me. Thanks be to God for sending his Word via Fr. Mike! So blessed...

[kimberlyjuge]

Father, hi from Colorado! Thank you for this beautiful celebration of the Holy Mass! My kids and I watched for the first time as we all are sick with COVID and were unable to be physically present at our parish today. God has touched our hearts through your gift. Thank you!

[vuhoang]

Thank you, Fr. Mike, for this spiritual enlightenment through the Homily, and the Ascension staff for making this virtual front pew available to us.
God bless.🙏

[fabiely]

I thank god that I have the chance to pray with you. I have not found another priest in my city that meditates the word in a way that I feel connected to god and makes me feel like I want to surrender more and more to him, thank you 🙏 Jesus for this opportunity. Amen

[christiandpaul]

There are a lot of people who tune into your mass that are not trapped by health crisis or sick and do go to their own parish on Sunday or Saturday but tune in because you are wise and always provide an uplifting message. Mass, is for worship, but if you get a wise and uplifting teaching along with it who would not tune in.

[joycefung]

Thank you Fr. Mike, this is exactly what we need to hear 🙏

[allensmith]

thank you for the mass, I was sick today and I learned from you about my desperation which made me sick but I will trust God for his outcome for me and my family.

[monicalee]

Thank you Father Michael, as always a powerful message for me and I am sure that for many others. God protects you at all times
