Let the gaze of God heal ❤ so powerful

When will you be resuming the "Abiding Together" podcast? I would like to hear Sr Miriam James reflection on Psalms 27:10. I'm just a listener with healing from my wounds.

Is that a man or a woman soeaking. Not trying to be funny but these days it's hard to tell tge difference with some people.

Wow❤

God doesn't like graven imagery. And according to the book catholicism ignores, Christianity becomes but a remnant, that keeps the commandments of God. Rev 12:17. Blessed sainthood for those who keep the commandments of God. 14:12, 22:14. Very end of the Bible. We already know catholicism refuses at least 2 of those commandments. We want to know why, in the face of scripture. We, the called of God.

Thank you Michelle for your ‘hoarding example’ of fear of losing a child. My 24 year old son died in an accident in 2021. I have 4 beautiful living children that the fear of losing them surfaces frequently. I need to fully surrender that.. ❤

I began my morning prayer time listening to this episode and wanted to thank you for walking me into Jesus's loving embrace. I can often get caught up all the reasons I cannot enter in or all the reasons I do not feel worthy and you tore down those walls for me this morning to remind me that it is not about me, it is about JESUS! To olace my gaze upon Him and to trust that all will be well. To not be afraid to ask for my heart's desire as He placed it there. He will mold and soften all that needs to be worked out in me and in my family. HE is GOOD! All is well. AMEN. Thank you❤

I am such a big fan of Narnia and love this podcast! I read the series looking for connections to our faith, but many points said here I missed and I'm so grateful for the eye opener! Thanks for all you do!

I was a little appalled at the lengthy ad for the sponsor - I found the birth experience to be mortal agony, as do a great many other women - and I nearly died from it. Regardless, links to the guest speaker’s book(s) would have been helpful to include - not knowing her exact name (as it turned out to be a very unusual spelling) made it time consuming to finally come across her book on Amazon.

This has blessed me so much!

❤❤I love you guys so very much!

Sr. Miriam's voice is just so warm, welcoming and comforting ❤

what a great podcast today! thank you so very much for this.

Which episode is this?

Dang!!! Here I am, always looking up from the pit, raising my hand up to Him!! Ughhhh! Never did I picture Him in the pit with me!😭

Ladies, thank you so much for your respectful, raw, and honest responses. So much depth in all that you talked about and I truly appreciate it. Initially, I balked at the idea of identity as daughter and I wasn't sure why until Sister mentioned the part of pushing away someone's delight in us. That truly spoke to me and it allowed me to relax and really open up and listen to what all of you had to say. I even broke out a notebook to record keywords and thoughts so that I could go to Adoration and dig in. Thank you again!

Amen

You are all such a gift. Thank you so much! I'm not sure if you realize how what you are doing is affecting so many lives. Thank you!

Thank you for having a place where we can go and feel loved....will miss you! God Bless!

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you once again for sharing your hearts and Love this season. You definitely reach so many of us with your words your struggles and your successes. Can’t wait until season 15 We love you ❤

Thank you guys❤I will miss you, until next season.

Amen! I recently visited Carmelite retreat house and the sisters were so full of joy and peace. They didn't seem to be in a hurry...I think when you move at the pace of peace, you are better able to be open to the Holy Spirit and His voice and promptings....also, overthinking can be attempts to control...we need to surrender our plans to the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us 🙏🕊💕

Thank you ladies for helping to open my eyes to the workings of the Holy Spirit in my life.The power that flows through Him helps relieve the control issues within me. I never knew! Thank you!

Oh Sr. Miriam! You are speaking my heart! You dear ladies have been writing my life. The Holy Spirit is amazing, alive and moving. Thank YOU! Thank each of you for the gift of yourself. May God bless you all!

That was so incredibly frustrating to listen to. These women talked so much about how there is so much wrong in the Catholic Church and there is a huge disconnect with the people and their relationship with Jesus and I could not help but think “well duh! You value religion over relationship” when I was a Catholic I too, was stagnant and in “spiritual comatose”. People are confused because they rely too much off man and don’t open their bibles and consult the Holy Spirit. Instead, they sit in a church for an hour and let a priest dictate what they believe. But if you only opened a Bible you would see the truth. This makes me mad, sad, frustrated and just so grateful I have become truly born again in the spirit and I am now able to recognize truth from bad doctrine. My hope is that these women take some of their own advice and realize that the truth is right under their nose and it’s not organized religion. May God open the eyes of the blind and soften the hearts of the wicked. All Glory be to God.

This podcast was very timely for me. It seems that I have been in a season of desolation for so long that I can’t remember consolation. I know that I can’t give up and that God will draw good out of this for someone somewhere. Thanks for reminding me!

Wow never thought of that asking Jesus is this true.

Beautiful episode part of my healing is and was in recognizing it tripped a deeper wound which I was able to heal faster in recognizing an over reaction opposed to a normal reaction.

Jesus I Trust in You: A 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust. I am going through this book

Would you be able to do some of your talks as Zoom sessions so that afterwards (and/or during) there could be participant questions taken and interaction? That would be amazing!!

Great points! I believe we as a Church and even as members of a particular parish should also have these same healthy relationships with one another. We are the family of God after all ❤

Very very good podcast with Brea Hanan. On so many levels it spoke to me I hope you have received my donation done from another of my devices. Please let me know

This was beautiful! Thank you! I have ordered the book! ❤❤❤

Dear Seeker: I have enclosed information regarding PTSD as well that if clients had in their possession would of assisted in their understanding of what they were experiencing and how to begin to help themselves information that in my process was not given but in my search came across. I thought I would drop these few lines in with the name of this book which is a part of my library of books that have helped me in my walk. As my thoughts, heart and prayers continue in seeking valuable information helpful in the process of recovery for individuals seeking help in regards to the circumstances and situations they find themselves in and recovering from and information I came across in my personal search for myself and others. The tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering being the primary basis of all human dysfunction the process of meeting and solving problems although challenging at times the wisdom gained and personal insight can be very rewarding when information is given and shared that assist another in their process. The primary reason for dysfunction is or was the shutting down of emotions and or feelings and years later having to identify, relearn and learn healthier ways of coping, of experiencing and expressing feelings and emotions Melodie Beattie books on Codependency has assisted and continue to assist in my on going recovery and/or transformation to holiness/wholeness. Semantics. Information regarding Flashbacks PTSD that in my search came acrossed years ago assisted greatly in the beginning of my process. Understanding how, why, when it could happen and what to do to help myself lessened the anxiety as it helped me to be able to assist myself during those times. Also a technique to help disperse the anxiety taking a deep breath through my nostrils and exhaling through my mouth as it allowed oxygen to the brain which helped in dispersing the anxiety. Being aware of my breathing also helped me detect something had triggered. Breathing to fast or very shallow breathing. For me my breathing became very shallow. Because ways of coping become automatic recognizing body indicators assist in recognizing something deeper needs our attention. In has been not recognizing personal indicators our body gives that have often hinder a person's recovery process. The New Co dependency Help and Guidance for Today's Generation offers quizzes that I personally feel help in assisting an individual regarding Section 3 of the book consists of quizes regarding Emotional, anger, fear, drama and misery addiction, guilt quiz and grief quiz. Other sections of the book include chapter titles Crossing lines and getting back over them again, Breaking free from the control trap and getting some grace, Making a conscious connection with yourself, Catch and release it is only a feeling, Trouble shooting guide. With this I will close continuing to pray for those in this process and for those who assist in the healing process of recovery for others in Jesus name. Amen. Sincerely In Christ P.S. In my recent reading and doing the quizzes in doing the section on guilt I came across the emotions disguised as guilt that is enabling me to deal effectively with the underlining emotion or root. As I knew during the brief sessions I had you had mentioned guilt and although I didn't fully understand the emotion I was feeling I knew in regards to things I had done I didn't feel I did anything wrong that would promote me to feel guilty. Although for years I have experienced this emotion that I later came to term as false guilt I recognize now and am able to deal with the real emotion. I also came to recognize shame as a feeling I misinterpreted as guilt. "Shame being a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behavior. Shame is "I am bad." Guilt is "I did something bad." (If I'm doing something that creates guilt, I stop it or reevaluate my standards. If I can't stop, I surrender to my powerlessness. If I'm living up to someone else's standards, I stop pleasing them. I also make sure what I'm feeling isn't an emotion disguised as guilt such as anger, fear, or grief.) For me many times it was fear and grief I have had to deal with. Dealing with the things in my life that caused me feel I am bad (shame) allowed me the ability to see clearer other things. Being aware of the different faces and forms of guilt allows me to work on root which until recognized I will experience. Knowing the difference between guilt from violating my standards; illegitimate guilt from not living up to other people's expectations; other people's guilt I pick up ( for instance, when an abuse victim feels ashamed instead of letting the perpetrator have guilt for abusing); guilt that's a stage of grief (such as I could have prevented it, if only I had or hadn't done what I did); and other feelings disguised as guilt---anger, fear or hurt. In order to deal effectively I need to deal with the emotions guilt is disguising. With that I will close. Melody Beattie has a number of books plus daily mediations that I find would be recommended books in assisting people in a persons process that some counselors will mention to their clients. In my journey I have have donated books to different places where I knew individuals sought help in hopes the availability for others to access would assist in there journey. PTSD (Flashbacks) are memories of past traumas. Now the first thing one thinks of is a memory. I'd like to further express memories can be brought to the surface through pictures, sounds, smells, body sensations, feelings, lack of them, numbness, a person sharing an event in their life that is similar. Many times there is no visual or auditory memory. One may have a sense of panic, being trapped, feeling powerless with no memory stimulating it. Situation today stirs up similar trapped feelings (confrontation, aggressive people). If one is feeling small...they are experiencing a flashback. If one is experiencing stronger feelings than are called for in the present situation...they are experiencing a flashback. What helps? Tell yourself you are just remembering. Remind yourself the worst is over. Feelings and sensations one experience are memories of the past. Take a deep breath and let it out slow. Ones' soul needs healing if they have bee. Hurt or damaged by another person, experience or event outside ones' control. We are not yet living in heaven therefore we are exposed to the imperfections of oneself and others so one can safely say every one to some degree has need, presently needs or will need healing for the soul. The soul consists of the intellect and one's emotions. Ones' body will give them indicators that something has transpired. Feeling faint, dizziness, nausea, headaches, feeling panicky for no apparent reason, sometimes becoming tearful, rapid breathing, shallow breathing. Books for me offer opportunities for aha moments as the Holy Spirit comes along side and a phrase or word will stand out that gives me opportunity to seek further. Music offers opportunity at times to release feelings locked inside and opportunity to express my feelings, prayers, etc. through song, and worship. I recently came across sometimes we need to forgive ourselves, others and or God but it also included life. There is a song God brought to my attention a few years ago Dear Life by Collin Raye and I changed the words from Dear Life to Dear God. So maybe today God is prompting you to forgive life those things that happen beyond your control. With that I will close thanking God for His love, care and guidance for all in Jesus name. Amen. Sincerely Linda

Buy oil! 🔥

I LOVE THAT ❤️

Was so blessed by this session today!!! Come, Holy Spirit! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🤣🙏🏻🥰🥰

I love Dr. Mary Healy!! Great episode

Wow! Thank you all so much! This is one of the best ones! You really touched my heart. ❤️🙏

I really appreciated hearing her encounters with the Lord ❤

Thanks for this amazing podcast! Blessings to all!

Wow. What an introduction to Dr. Healy’s lengthy credentials! She’s wonderful and I loved hearing from her! I would also love to hear a “non credentialed” woman speak. Just a woman speaking her testimony who’s on fire for God, someone who’s overcome obstacles because of her faith. I’ve always wished I had a college degree and even in my faith I feel like without one I didn’t have a voice. God bless you all so much.

Mark 16:16

Amen! Thank you ladies! ❤ ...but then sometimes we are also called to speak the Truth (in humility and love) and to be courageous like Esther, like Mary Magdalene (when Jesus sent her to tell his disciples after the Resurrection), like the woman at the well who Jesus gave inner healing to (and she went to boldly proclaim Christ to her entire town), like St. Teresa of Avila (who reformed her Catmelite order), like St. Catherine of Sienna (who convinced the pope to return to Rome), like St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (who faced monumental persecution to advocate boldly for those most in need)....Yes, we are called to embrace humility and let God fight our battles for us, Trusting in Him...but sometimes He calls us to speak courageously as women who represent His Sacred Heart ❤

Amen, Heather! I love listening to Abiding Together podcasts, you are all such a blessing. ❤

Dang!!

Thank you, ladies! You are changing lives!❤❤❤

Amen
