Ascension

Faith, pop culture, and headline reflections from Fr. Mike Schmitz.

The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast

Become a saint by saying "yes" to God, starting with the Mass.

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains why the Eucharist is God's greatest gift and why the saints made it the center of their lives. If we want to become holy, we can't ignore the place where Jesus gives Himself completely to us.

Don't settle for what's easy, discover why faithful participation in the Mass is essential on the path to sainthood.

The Biggest Opportunity Most Catholics Ignore (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

What does Jesus mean when he tells us to “bear fruit”?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains that bearing fruit isn’t simply about being productive or avoiding laziness, it’s about who we are becoming and allowing God to transform our lives.

How can you bear fruit today?

What Matters More Than Success

What does "Give us this day our daily bread" really mean?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explores why Jesus teaches us to ask for "daily bread" and how this simple prayer invites us to trust God one day at a time.

Train Your Heart to Trust

Are men and women really that different? And if so, what do those differences reveal about how we relate to one another?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explores how the differences between men and women are not reasons for division, but reminders of our need for one another. Rather than pitting the sexes against each other, our unique strengths and perspectives can help us pursue truth, navigate difficult decisions, and flourish together.

The Differences Between Men and Women

What's the difference between criticism and correction, and does it really matter?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains how to offer correction in a way that is both loving and effective. Instead of assuming motives, resorting to name-calling, or making personal attacks, he encourages us to focus on the facts. And when we're unsure of someone's intentions, choose trust over suspicion.

How to Correct Someone Without Hurting Them

Are headlines, podcasts, and politics consuming your attention?

Fr. Mike Schmitz encourages us to step away from the constant noise of news, politics, and our phones and turn instead to Scripture. In the Bible, we encounter the wisdom, truth, and peace that no news cycle can provide.

Politics Are Distracting You From This (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

What do you say to someone when they're at their last moment of life?

Fr. Mike Schmitz shares what he would tell someone who's dying and it might be different than what you think.

What I’d Tell Someone on Their Deathbed

Fr. Mike wants everyone to be Catholic, but why? Isn't Catholicism just a list of rules?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains why the Catholic faith is about far more than simply “following rules.” Instead, it’s about encountering the goodness of God and experiencing the beauty of life with Him through the Catholic faith.

Why Be Catholic?

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6

Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that our actions carry weight. He cautions us to remember that someone is always watching, and that we represent something greater than ourselves. Are our actions and behaviors leading others closer to God or closer to sin?

The Sin Jesus Spoke About Most Seriously

If you're a Christian and you follow Theo Von at all, you've probably heard about his reaction to an audience member calling in and getting vulnerable about his struggles. Theo Von responds by opening up about his ongoing spiritual journey and his struggles in vice and prayer.

But Fr. Mike didn't choose to highlight this moment just because of Theo Von and his journey. Theo Von's vulnerability, honesty, and frankness reveal a lot about the fickleness of the human heart—and the incredible nature of God's mercy.

Today, Fr. Mike wants you to meditate on the revelations Theo Von has had, and how they might reflect some of your own journey towards a closer union with God.
