Regarding a question about feeling guilty about a sin you have already confessed, a priest once said to me during Confession "God has forgiven you, now you need to forgive yourself." It was the perfect answer for me. I just wanted to share it. Hope it helps someone else.

This was so cool! I have recently reverted back to the Catholic faith, was a non-practicing Cathlolic until I was 12 years. 2 years ago I invited Jesus into my heart, and the Lord led me to different protestant churches, to finally lead me back to the Catholic church. Since 6 months I am exploring everything about Catholicism, and Father Mike Schmitz has helped me so much. I will get confirmed this Easter. I am truly grateful. I have to say that I feel quite alone in my faith, living in Amsterdam ( The Netherlands). I have some protestant friends, but that's it. It is hard to meet other Catholics in my age range (30-40) and to make friends. But this video really warmed my heart, made me realize I don't have to feel alone. Father Mike, thank you for your preachings and teachings. I am on day 33 with the Biblel in a Year Podcast, it is incredible. Hope one day you'll come out to The Netherlands. God bless you, I will pray for you. Please pray for me. Blessings and love from Amsterdam.

Fr. Mike I am so blessed that you have come into my life. My parents are both deceased and I was praying to strengthen my Catholic Faith. This past February I was scrolling U tube and I saw your picture and Assension. I clicked on and listened to what you were teaching which touched my heart. I am following CIY and will do BIY soon. I have also noticed how much you look my my dad same smile and same color eyes. I believe my dad sent me to get to know you with prayer. I'm praying for you please pray for me. God bless you!

So, I'm a bit late to this party since it was live 2 mos. ago! Just wanted to comment on your "what's next" by building/expanding on the Newman Center. I believe your mission is growing exponentially and am happy to once again donate a bit to making that happen. I also wanted to encourage you to invest in the technology to broadcast whatever retreats/functions you are offering to the campus and make them available to the Front Pew. We tune in from all over the world, representing all ages (I'm 67), and feel universally connected to Fr. Mike and the team of Bulldog Catholics that not only do what it takes to offer Mass online but are offering spiritual and educational programs (including this one!) that I want to enthusiastically attend! Thanks to the Bulldog Catholic team for this event! May God continue using each of you and inspire all of us who benefit from your online presence to be moved to donate!

So true!! This has become an essential part of going to confession for me so I can accept God’s love and forgiveness. I go to confession, say my penance and then say “I forgive myself for what I’ve done.” When I don’t forgive myself, I push God’s mercy away and end up with a perfectionist mindset, trying to earn God’s love or prove myself in some way. I forget I’m inherently good and infinitely loved regardless of what I do or have done.

Hi Father Mike! I'm working through BIY and CIY this year for the first time and will finish at the end of the year. I plan to start them again on January 1. I've learned SO MUCH I didn't know even after 45 years of Protestant Bible studies and 4 years as a Catholic. I loved your answer to the question about not being sure which direction to go. It reminds me of Isaiah 30:21 "And your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way, walk in it" when you turn to the right or turn to the left." It's when we move in the direction we think we should go that the correct path becomes clear.

Most of the time I don't feel anything when I pray...sometimes I cry vehemently. This happens when I meditate on the passion of Christ while praying the rosary or the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. When it seemed I couldn't breath from crying out my heart, I asked the Blessed Virgin Mary to help me...how she did it all through out the agony of our Lord, her Son. And Mother Mary helped me every time. You might not feel anything while praying but your prayers change you in a way you don't even know. Prayers have changed me.

It great to hear you are becoming/became Catholic. Welcome Home! As a lay catholic you do not need to pray the Liturgy of the hours. But in the Second Vatican council it does say that lay people are recommended to pray Morning and Evening prayer. (I am pretty sure it is in the council) If you find it is a helpful way to pray that you love, go ahead! I know for myself that reading the psalms in the LOTH and remembering parts throughout the day is a very good experience. May God bless you on your Catholic Christian walk!
