🙏 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.

My mom passed away a little more than a year ago. One of the things she taught us since we were so small was this kind of idea that when we die, we have to stand next to everything we’ve spent our time and life on. Every purchase. Every person, every hour. We would stand next to these things and show them to God. What does God see in those things? Are they worthy things? are they apart of His mission for us as His children? Can we feel truly proud of what we will stand next to one day with God? It is so easy especially in this world to envision very specific items and experiences and securities that we want (I know I experience this frequently). I am so thankful for God’s Loving guidance of what he wants us to put our hearts and minds toward to do His will as extensions of his Body ❤️

When life is empty, that is your chance to be filled with JESUS.

On chemo and an emotional mess today. I cling to Jesus and God as me know this is only temporary- and I will be better and continue to help his children. Ty Fr. Mike 🙏🏻

Father Mike, I have wanted to learn how to sing the Salve Regina for a long time. Your singing it at the end of mass is helping me a great deal. THANK YOU!

[najetteraad]

Father mike you are amazing preist .may god bless you abundantly

[emilypacheco]

Remember we are not of this world and will leave it in the end. Don’t collect shells...pray and help others find their reason, God. He is merciful and waits for us to follow Him and we all get the same reward. What greater joy in life would it be to bring that love to others who are lost?

Love that praying St. Micheal Archangel prayer at the end of the mass!!!! 🙏❤️

Thank you, Father Mike, for once again offering Mass online to those of us who are prohibited from attending Mass in person. I greatly value your weekly homilies. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers, especially your mother.

Thank you for doing this. I am a 41 yr old catechumen and once a month I have National Guard duty and cannot attend mass. Yours has been my Guard Duty mass these past months. Thank you for what you do and thank you to ascension presents.
