Day 129: David Commits Adultery — The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

Just found out my youngest brother's wife had a stroke early Saturday morning. Please keep all of his family in your prayers. Not only will he have to help her, but he also will be a caregiver for her father who has a bad lung disease, and an elementary aged adopted son who had to have his legs lengthened just recently and he is having to learn to walk all over again. He has an awful lot on his plate, please pray for all of them.

Please pray for my brother Gary soul.he had not been to confession. Communion or church in over 50 years and he died yesterday.

08MAY2024. Day 129. God knows each and every one of our hearts, so we must ask for his mercy. Nothing is hidden from God.

May 8, 2024 Weds, Here I am!

This one really hit deep today. A great message for everyone that good people still make mistakes. Let us forgive others as God does, as only he is allowed to be the final judge. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, deciding, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand God's voice in the Scriptures that we may revere & treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.

Yes, we are all broken. David's failure mirrors our own. We need to reconcile with God.

Thank you Father Mike for the translation of this. Thank you dear God for never giving up on me. I like David am a sinner. 🙏

A Catholic Prayer .... Dear Jesus, today we wish to live in you, in your grace, in which we desire at all costs to persevere. Keep us from sin and strengthen our will, by helping us to keep watch over our imagination, our senses and our hearts. Help us to correct our faults which are the source of sin. We beg you to do this, oh Jesus, through Mary, your Immaculate Mother. Amen ! 💒

Thank you Father Mike for the explanation at the end of gospel readings, I’m praying for you Thank you for praying for me

One of his best BIAY commentaries. The message is so pertinent and close to home for all of us.

Oh Lord, is there even hope for us! We just never learn, no matter how good our lives are!

Father Mike, you and everyone watching/listening are in my prayers.

Thanks be to God we can be forgiven of any sin. But we still have to pay for them in Purgatory. 🙏JMJ

That was an amazing commentary by Fr. Mike. Thank you for that, Father if you read this. You really nailed it - again. I am truly journeying through this “podcast” and walking with you all in the way of salvation……….

I love your interpretaion or comments on the bible, especially today's. I never knew that David was supposed to have gone to the war for his people. I didn't know that the all kings had to fight for the people. Thank you for showing the procedres how one committed a mortal sin. What a shame and injustice that the righteous man as Uriah god killed.

Wow this day is no joke!!! Everyone can take a lesson from this ,EVERYONE

Thank you so much dear Fr. Mike. "when you start doing the opposite to the will of God, you don't know how is going to end"... strong but beautiful words, thank you!

God is indeed great. He forgives when others can not.

This episode shows how 1 sin can snowball into more and more sins.
