New Advent Program from Fr. Mike Schmitz: Face to Face

Face to Face: Advent with Fr. Mike Schmitz is available exclusively in the Ascension Mobile app, which you can download to any smartphone.

This Advent, join Fr. Mike Schmitz in a journey through the daily readings as he confronts our doubts and reveals God's love with app-exclusive daily video reflections and scripture passages.

Discover who God is, who we are, and how we are made worthy to stand in his presence.

What if you knew that December 25th Christmas Day was the day that you were going to die?

The way we live Advent would have to change.

We'd have to live with intentionality.

We'd have to live it with purpose.

We'd have to live it with grace.

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.
