Summary
In this 3-part 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 Sr. Miriam examine our needs for healing from sin, trauma, and a broken past, and uncover the luminous power of God's loving gaze on our hearts, minds, and souls.
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 Ascension-app-exclusive daily video reflections and scripture passages: https://link.ascension-app.com/caouRw13GNb
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.

| 0:00.0 | Time heals some of our wounds, but time does not heal all wounds. It's love that heals all of our wounds. |
| 0:05.0 | Jesus is a man who's fully alive. And so when I look at him, I can look at my life and say, well, we're the places I don't love like Jesus. |
| 0:12.0 | And that's where I'm called to grow in Christ like this. |
| 0:14.0 | And that's what this Advent is meant to be about. How do I live this Advent in such a way that I'm actually prepared to see the Lord face to face. |

| 0:28.5 | as I am, are you afraid of death? |
| 0:32.1 | And I don't want me to be overly personal. |
| 0:34.4 | I think about it every day. It's okay. |
| 0:41.6 | I don't want to have anything between me and Jesus. |
| 0:46.7 | Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz. I'd like to invite you to join me this upcoming Advent on the Ascension app. Here's a question. What if you knew that December 25th, Christmas Day, was the day |
| 0:52.7 | that you were going to wake up dead. I know that sounds |
| 0:55.5 | morbid, but there's a reality of our life would have to change, right? The way we would live |
| 1:00.0 | Advent would have to change. We'd have to live it with intentionality. We'd have to live it with |

| 1:29.4 | face to face. So it's to prepare ourselves to celebrate his first coming at Christmas, is to prepare |
| 1:35.2 | ourselves to receive him now in our daily lives. Ultimately, it is to prepare to see Jesus when he |
