🙏 See below for the 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 of mercy, God Almighty, so rich in steadfast love, please give me eyes to see those around me who need Jesus, empower me with the courage and the humility to share his grace, and bless me with the sense of timing to share Jesus with them when they are ready to know of his love. I want to do everything possible to win as many as possible, especially those whose hearts are ready to know Jesus. In his name, I pray. Amen.

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for Father Mike. With my two little ones under two, getting to Mass is often tough, especially while teaching them to behave. Watching Father Mike every Sunday has been a blessing for our family. It keeps us connected to our faith, and my babies are starting to enjoy church from home.

Thank you father Mike for understanding that there is people with mental illness that can’t always go to church ⛪️ and, thank you for bringing it to me and others like me 🙏🏼.

[Peridot-nuqp]

Thank you Father Mike Schimtz for the sacrifices you make to bring us the Holy Sacrifice. Thank you for homilies that make me proud to be a Catholic. Thank you for homilies that remind me that the Mass is about the Eucharist, not the works of man. Thank you for consecrating the Eucharist so reverently that it moves me to tears.. God bless keep you and all parishioners safe 🙏

💙 To become vulnerable, to show ones weakness: is to open the door to real love! Sometimes, it's the fear of being rejected, not good enough, that hinders becoming vulnerable, which, as you say, leads to doing God's good work . God bless you, fr.Mike 💙

[lguevara]

Amen. 🙏 I was blessed with a mother who, by example, taught me that way of loving. May I continue in her way, in the way of our Lord. Father, accept her in Your loving, eternal kingdom, IJN ✝️

I’m so thankful for this Mass. God bless everyone involved in its production. Excellence in ambition 😉

[ChildofGod]

Jesus give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I won’t give up but Lord I’m so discouraged. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.💕

[LisaGemini]

God bless you, Father Mike, for this wonderful mass. I'm praying for you and still listening to the Catechism in a Year on Ascension. It really is awesome to hear the tenets of our faith. God bless the Front Pew Crew and all those working to build a student center for Catholics in Duluth! Amen.

[DRJRchattanooga]
