Abiding Together is a weekly podcast hosted by Michelle Benzinger, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, and Heather Khym, providing a place of connection, rest and encouragement for people who are on the journey of living out their passion and purpose in Jesus Christ.
Season 15 Episode 9 - The Sacred Heart - Dilexit Nos (Part 3)
In this week's episode, we conclude our three part series on the heart and Pope Francis’ recent encyclical Dilexit Nos. We reflect on Scripture as a personal love story, how it speaks to our areas of weakness, and the awesome reality of Jesus desiring to love and heal us there. The Lord meets us where we are and He is always seeking to bring our hearts closer to His. He speaks directly to each one of us with an invitation to be loved and to love. This invitation of love requires a response not only in big moments but in the ordinary moments of each day.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Love Michelle Dupong
That was beautiful. My Lectio Divina attempts weren’t successful. I tried to read too much, hoping that something would jump out. Then I would try to direct it according to what I wanted. I’m such a control freak! I have spent time since Sunday Mass, thinking of vines and branches. All of my reading has seemed to focus on it. I think it’s time to slap my forehead and say “Doh!” Let Him do it.
Beautiful and deep episode! Felt like I was sitting right there with you beautiful ladies bearing our hearts.
Love love Bishop Barton’s liturgy of the hours.
Question for you beautiful women: my 2 year old grandson is not baptized, does he still have a guardian angel? ❤
First things first, Love is the greatest gift from God, no matter who or what is in our midst. Without Love, Mercy and Forgiveness, who would want to draw near and dear to anything that exists! But if you insist about God's provision, St. Francis gave us the perfect gift for an angel with a mission. Live with, and, in this, and a guardian angel will be in position for grandson's condition. St. Francis Prayer Lord, make me a channel of Thy Peace, that where this hatred, I may bring love; that where this is wrong, I may bring the Spirit of Forgiveness; that where this is discord, I may bring harmony; that where this error, I may bring truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that where there is despair, I may bring hope; that where there are shadows, I may bring light; that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord grant that I may seek, rather to comfort, than to be comforted, to understand rather than be understood; to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting one finds. It is by forgiving, one is forgiven. It is by dying, one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for letting me share.
I had opportunity to listen to the pod cast today but will listen again as many times I need to re listen as opportunity for God to impress other things to me. Intimacy As I contemplate Jesus and how He continued whom being more in tune alert to all things He understood intimacy the deep connection of intimacy He and the Father shared. Intimacy every moment become opportunities for intimate conversation opportunity for us to experience Gods ability personally. There was time Jesus went off by Himself I believe those moments were moments of deep intimacy expressing how He was feeling and asking the Fathers help. The other aspect of intimacy besides telling Him how I am feeling etc. was asking His help. Often I expressed my feelings and thoughts but never asked His help with it. Learning how to allow Him to be my Father and all He wants to be for us. Every struggle every trial every joy opportunities to talk with God and ask His help. Everything also becomes an opportunity to be aware of what we truly believe. It is through the circumstances and situations when I become afraid becoming aware of what I am afraid of. Fear is the emotion I experience but in recognizing the underlying reason I am experiencing it then becomes opportunity to talk with Him. And until I am aware I just go to Him with what I am aware of. I don’t need to know why I am experiencing certain things only understand my need to go to Him with what I am aware of. So if I become afraid that my children will be hurt I go to God and sometimes confess I believe help my unbelief because whenever I am afraid it becomes opportunity to recognize I doubt Gods ability, the Holy Spirits, or Mother Mary’s ability in the lives of those I love. It doesn’t require them believing it requires us to pray as He begins to heal areas within them so they then are able to see what the unhealed hurts blinded them to. Sometimes until I hurt I can be blinded not experiencing the freedom available. Lepers have the inability to feel and that inability to feel doesn’t allow them to protect themselves. We feel pain, hurt, sorrow as opportunity to talk to God when we understand He waits for us to come to Him giving Him opportunity to experience His personal ability for ourselves. Many times in the past I would ask God “what was wrong with me? Only to hear Him say you are human.” Not sure what He was trying to get me to see and understand. I finally in recognizing the one aspect of my relationship with God that was lacking “intimacy” sharing my feelings and thoughts with Him then began confessing my feelings and thoughts become now opportunity in the deepening of my relationship with the Trinity and recently Mother Mary. When I first starting talking to Mother Mary because I was talking with Her more when I used to always talk to God because of wounds as a child in feeling when I met my real mother I was betraying my father and my step mom I felt I was betraying God. The struggle would come up a lot until God healed the wound and helped me understand I was struggling because He wanted to heal that in me I would never of experienced that struggle had I never meet Mother Mary and even though I didn’t understand He understood and in healing how I felt as a child when I met my real mother that somehow I was betraying my father and step mom He wanted me to know I wasn’t betraying Him He wanted me to have a relationship with Her. He was the one who introduced Her to me.
I wonder why continual prayers for strength and peace go unanswered, these are noble things to ask of a loving father. Granted, my brokenness has to work harder to discipline myself to go to Adoration and pray more when I need to lean in but I’d hoped our Lord could see I’m doing my best. I’ll keep trying.
My granddaughter said to me one day through tears “Grandma I am trying to be a good Christian” my heart broke as I looked at her and said honey you don’t have to try you ask His help. He knows we can’t do somethings in our own because of unhealed hurts so we go to Him and ask His help. All He asks of me is to be honest and tell Him how I feel even if I am mad at Him I can tell Him, when I don’t understand I can tell Him that if I am having a hard time with someone I can tell Him and ask His help. He doesn’t expect me to do it by myself. I personally didn’t know what intimacy was and for a long time that is what my relationship with God was missing. Since I came to understand that I went to Him and ask Him to help me establish the intimacy in our relationship and help me know what true intimacy is.

Thanks you foe sharing.
Thank you so much.
Community longing as well, we live in an area that has non-practicing Catholics all around us 💔
The empty nest is so hard! Going thru it 5 times and the last the worst! Thank you Lord for allowing me the precious time with all of them and your gift has blessed me tripled fold.
Wow this was very powerful and tears just streamed down my face . Thank you so much for this meditation ❤🙏
Good to hear you three again ❤
I just read a book on St Catherine of Seine and held her relic. Your quote really touched my heart.❤️
I love listening to you all and you always manage to say something that hits home and makes me re-think situations.
I will leave you with this something God gave me years ago helping me understand all the avenues He was using to speak to me personally and the avenues He uses for others. "For the common things of everyday life, God gave us the ability to share and words to express times & moments in our lives. He gave us friends, acquaintances and family to share in our journey." "For the deeper things we feel & think, God gave us poets and writers words to reveal; that often become opportunities in growing." "For the heights and depth that no words can reach, God gave us music, the souls own speech." "But for all revelation and awakening God gave His Son and His Spirit to lead and guide is into all truths." And perhaps some reading this have a relationship with God and are still feeling something is missing. I personally discovered what was missing in my relationship with God was intimacy. Going to Him for myself, talking to Him about how I am feeling, letting Him comfort me. Something to think about.
🙏🏼
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 ❤
