In this 3part series filmed backstage at the 2024 Good News Conference, Fr. Mike sits down with 3 special guests to discuss prayer, the sacraments, and how to prepare to meet Jesus "face to face" this coming Advent.

Fr. Mike and Bishop Barron discuss the shocking reality of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the beautiful discomfort that confession can bring, and how the sacraments bring us face to face with Jesus and prepare us to spend eternity with him.

Want to go deeper this Advent? Join Fr. Mike Schmitz in a journey through the daily readings as he confronts our doubts and reveals God's love with Ascensionappexclusive daily video reflections and scripture passages: https://link.ascensionapp.com/caouRw...

Too often, we live life by "default". We forget that we are on a journey to an eternal destination of joy that we were made for. We are burdened by fears and questions: what if I am not worthy? What if I am not enough?

Live Advent differently this year. Prepare to meet God, face to face. Only available on the Ascension App.
