Positive Post Sunday, August 30, 2026…. Week 496. Be Extraordinary in Ordinary TimesFollowing Easter and the Resurrection, our church steps into what we call Ordinary Time, but there is nothing “ordinary” about it. It’s the season where the risen Christ walks with us not only in the miracles, but in the everyday moments that quietly…
Positive Post Sunday, August 23, 2026…. Week 495. The Bible is a Mirror for CorrectionHere is yet another gem from Fr. Mike Schmitz. Each day, as I listen to Fr. Mike’s explanation of the daily scripture, I’m reminded that God’s Word does more than guide my steps, it shapes my heart. In a recent podcast,…
Positive Post Sunday, August 16, 2026…. Week 494. Begin Prayer with PraiseAs we continue to read the Bible daily with Fr. Mike, we are reminded that in Scripture, the tribe of Judah was always sent first into battle. This wasn’t because they were the strongest or the most feared, it was because Judah means…
Positive Post Sunday, August 9, 2026…. Week 493. Read the Bible DailyThanks to Michele’s faithful example and gentle nudge, I began listening to the daily podcast “The Bible in a Year” with Fr.

Be Transformed, not Rescued The Gospel of John reminds us that approaching God with a mercenary heart, coming to Him only when we need something, does not glorify Him. Our prayers should not be seen as transactions and God’s grace as a commodity. God loves us far…
Positive Post Sunday, July 19, 2026…. Week 490. Mass is a Privilege, not a ChoreThe excuses for not getting to Mass can be as numerous and creative as a student explaining why their homework mysteriously vanished.

Positive Post Sunday, July 5, 2026…. Week 488. God’s Gifts in Everyday LifeWe often spend too much energy searching for our “big” gifts, some hidden talent, some dramatic calling, some unmistakable sign, that we overlook the quiet treasures God has already placed right in front of us. We chase the extraordinary and miss the grace…
Positive Post Sunday, June 28, 2026…. Week 487.
