🙏 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.

I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47, 000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️

Thank you 😊 I've been fighting with myself, for not being able to do the things I used to do at 75...you opened my eyes...God borrowed me the talents and has now taken them back 😊So l can relax and be grateful for the memories ❤️ I am blessed 🙏

God bless Fr. Mike! He is truly inspired by the Holy Spirit with his weekly homiles. Although I attend Church regularly, I look forward to his interpretation of the scriptures and gospel. I have difficulty understanding sometimes scripture but Fr Mike makes it easy to make sense of the readings. St Michael, PLEASE protect Fr. Mike and all priests from the evil one so they can continue to do your willl. Our priests are especially targets for the devil and his demons who do not tire of trying to destroy the Catholic Church. May they be covered under Mary’s mantle. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you this Sunday morning with a heart full of gratitude. Thank you for your unwavering love, your abundant blessings, and the gift of life itself. I am grateful for my family, my friends, and the many opportunities you have placed in my path. Thank you for your guidance, forgiveness, and constant presence in my life.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank you Fr. Mike Schmitz for your (in my opinion) amazing homilies. You have a gift and I always recommend folks listen to your homilies in addition to their local parish’s homily. You ALWAYS take the basic message a step or two further resulting in deeper thought and consideration of the Gospel. Thank you 😊

When i was 12 years old, i got the gift of a guitar. I started learning to play it and i gradually became immersed in it. I studied classical guitar and i became passionate about the music. However, i struggled unbearably sometimes and i couldn’t figure out why. This went on for 30 years. I would get an occasional beautiful compliment that would egg me on. What was going on?
One day, in my 40’s, i felt my talent ebbing, and i lost interest in it. I quit a week later.
I never understood what it was all about, but i felt relieved to be free of it. In light of Father Mike’s sermon, i need to pray about and maybe be thankful for those years of guitar playing. Thank you, Father Mike, for this insight.
