I am impressed by your godliness! So many women do not want to accept that the Bible says to be submissive to your husband, so I love how you just take what the Bible says and accept it! That is SO pleasing to God! 💕 God bless you!
My prayer is from Revelation 3:7. Lord shut doors that no man can open, and open doors that no man can shut. If there is a closed door I do not know it open, and if there is an open door, I walk through it.
My parish is small so they often struggle with finding volunteers. With CCD coming up they were asking if anyone would be willing to teach Pre-K. I have a preschooler and really wanted to start him in CCD. I struggle with shyness and confidence but I felt such a strong pull to step up. I felt a level of confidence and I never felt before. So now I'm a catechist after just joining the church this past Easter. I never really understood what people meant when they said God was calling them to something. But I felt it then. Unfortunately, with it getting closer, I'm feeling anxious and a little bit of regret. This is a big commitment. Thankfully, with it being a small parish, I will likely only have two or three students, one of which is my own son. Please pray for me!
So refreshing to watch your video on discernment. Recently I struggled discerning if my ex fiance was my husband. I prayed a lot about it, I went to mass regularly and asked for God's will to be done. We ended breaking off engagement 3months before the wedding. I feel at peace now about it and believe strongly that was the will of God. Truely can be hard to discern God's will esp in our human weaknesses. Thank you for sharing your journey and the prayer with us. Also your vocation discernment video helped me a lot during the time. Please keep up the good work. Sending love and prayers to you and family 💖💖💖
@@jaqian I pray for a minute to offer the pain and sufferings endured by Jesus's face to God the Father for the salvation of souls and consoling his paternal heart.
@@jaqian If you are a more visual person, you could use a picture of the Shroud of Turin. Even if you aren't sure that is the real burial shroud, people investigating it say it is consistent with trauma like crucifixion, so at least you could consider that a usable proxy.
Please pray for me. I struggle with this. My husband and I are trying to discern if we need to move. My husband wants to transfer to a remote rural area so we can pay our car off and get ahead financially. I am very nervous about this. He is a police officer. He said he would choose to do this if I would just trust him, but I am really worried. Pray for me that I may submit in all things so the Will of God can be done in our lives.
Love it! I personally never had fear about who I would marry. I felt completely at peace about it from the moment we began dating. And when we got married i remember just feeling like it was such an honor to be able to have this vocation and that I was going to get to live my life with my husband. Not knowing what the future had in store, but knowing there would be hard times, I felt very blessed to be called to marriage.
I think you would be a great speaker, you have a humble and genuine personality that would attract a good number of people to hear you talk about faith in your life. You go, girl!
This was a great video for me right now. A few weeks ago I felt pulled to sign up to be a catechist for 1st grade. I waited and waited, but kept getting pulled to it. I finally said yes! My first class is next week and I’m completely terrified! I’ve never done anything like this but like you said...God knows our true intentions. I’ve always enjoyed teaching my own children the faith...so now I get to teach it to others. Thank you for this video, I feel a little less scared.
Yes! I learned so much about the importance of obedience from reading St. Faustina's diary. I tease my hubby and tell him that I'm glad he's the boss. ♥️
This really blessed me. You are right - it is so freeing to submit to our husbands! We can have a respectful discussion and let the final decision rest with our husbands. This is a powerful way God guides us. Recently I was torn about jobs to apply for and my husband really strongly felt that one particular job I shouldn’t apply for. I didn’t apply and I felt peace about that decision. It’s such a blessing to have his input!
Thank you for linking this video! I'm facing a decision about whether to take a new job and really appreciated your guidance on how to make the decision while trusting God!
Great thoughts Heather! Such a timely video too, as we're discerning a few things. Love the part about picking the harder option - had never heard that before!
Please pray for me, my story is somewhat like yours. I have spent my whole life saving myself for marriage, although I always wanted to be a mom and have a baby. I've been though much pain, left my boyfriend to fully find the lord. I gave in to temptations and ended up pregnant with my beautiful daughter. We have just gotten engaged, although I really feel this strong anxiety that we should not be together this has been happening for months. I need God to speak clearly and close doors that are not of his will. I only want to please the Lord no one else and my fiance does not understand how much I yearn to place the Lord first.
This video comes at a point in my life where I need discernment so badly. I recently left my job because of how unhappy I was at it. It's the only job I ever had since I was a senior in high school. I knew i wouldnt be there forever and that's not what my degree was for but it was so hard to figure out if that was God's will. I still dont know if it was or not. Currently looking for another job so hopefully I can put these tips to use!
Discerning and being silent enough to hear Gods voice is something I struggle with. I get nervous what I think is God speaking to me is really my own selfish reasons or gut telling me to do something. How do you know?!? Sometimes it comes in little signs during everyday life but I want to know how to know it’s Gods voice speaking without needing such an obvious sign.
Daily prayer in Sacred Scripture especially reading through the Gospel will help us to begin recognizing God's voice and how He speaks to us, and definitely learning St. Ignatius of Loyola's discernment of spirits is such an eye opener too!
There's a podcast by Fr. Timothy Gallagher on discerninghearts website that explains the different movements of the good, bad, or just our own spirit, to discern God's will. Secondly, I highly recommend reading 'Consoling the Heart of Jesus' by Fr. Gaitley and consecrating yourself to Jesus through Mary. When Mary was at the foot of the Cross with John, Jesus gave his mother the mission of becoming our mother, which means we need to take her in as our own spiritual mother and let her raise us into little saints aka little Christs since she raised Jesus. And the best way to do that is to formally go through the consecration. St. Louis de Monfort created the process that you can look up, or you can get Fr. Gaitley's version called 33 days to Morning Glory. Both of Fr. Gaitley's books have helped me SO much with living in trust and joy in God. Lastly, asking a good priest or religious to be your spiritual director and frequently going to the Sacraments work wonders too. Through it all, simply focus on trusting and loving Jesus in the daily duties of life. And this daily little act of faith and love will give Him great joy and total freedom to work his miracles in your life and take care of you in every way. I'll be praying for you daily! 🤗
I wanted to homeschool a year before my husband agreed to it. I was heavily involved in PTA so I knew everything that was wrong. I knew that homeschooling was the best choice. What changed my husband's mind was my son. He told us one day that he was unhappy in school and that it's huge waste of time and it is. They spend alot of time waiting around. My son was in honors so he was bored alot and he just didn't like school. And it was the best decision we have ever made. My son is in a better mood now and homeschool is so short now.
Thank you so much for your witness 😇 i really enjoy watching your vedios & this one put disernment into a whole new perspective ... I love the examples of St. Clare & St. Teresa of Calcutta - very well said! Keep up the good work 🖒
Very interesting! I really like what you said. The process of discerning can be hard and long because you just don’t know when to take action. At least for me.
glad I didnt have that fear for my spouse. but it is good to hear how the discening of a spouse may affect women different it makes me understand her better since she had similar fears due to her experience with her father. she found me not to be even closely that same way. She has drawn me closer to the church so we compliments us as we work together serving.
I've completely screwed up in my relationships...ended up in two abusive relationships...single mum of 3...its hard being a catholic with this over my head... No matter how much I've repented for this, I feel its not good enough....
Love prevails over all sin. No matter what your past is there is always hope! I struggled with that before, my confessor told me to do the opposite of sin and to live the beatitudes and that is how you will heal and feel spiritually healthy again. Feed the poor, help those who are suffering it is a great way to heal your soul. You are good enough! Don't let Satan tell you any different! Jesus died for you and wants to be close to you make sure to go to confession and tell Satan to not mess with you or your Father will crush him:) . You are safe in the arms of God just have faith in that:) also take this time to heal and grow in your relationship with God:) . God bless you
You feel it's not good enough but a sincere repenting heart is enough for God. God is infinitely better and more merciful than we are and the cross has the power to redeem everything - everything. Past can't be redone but what God wants is your heart and life - now and then forever. Being Christian is to accept to carry our cross. Jesus did not say "we may" carry a cross...he said we must and will carry it to be a Christian. This is your cross, we all have one, some more visible or heavy than others but there is no point comparing anyway. Ask God to help you carry it and carry it with Him, with love and obedience. Live to become ever closer to Him and without any compromise with sins. Don't let the past and the devil's temptation to affect your today's path as a child of God. Nobody is good enough for God...nothing is.. this is not what God is asking.
My ex husband told me after 5 years of marriage that he didn’t discern the will of God correctly and that I was the wrong person. Then I had to leave with my then 2 year old
I'm so sorry but you dodged a bullet leaving him. You can't change stupid and that guy must truly be stupid using God as an excuse to shirk his responsibility he abandoned you and your child. Thank God you left that stupidity.
Have you seen or read the documentary on Mother Theresa? Apparently she was not very kind to the poor and sick in her hospital at all and people lived in horrible conditions. Her sainthood was sped up due to media pressure and her public image. I found it utterly shocking.
I have not seen it but I would never believe it, documentary's can have what ever out come they want people to believe. I am sure there are plenty of documentary that say Jesus isn't God. I actually know people who knew her and there is no truth to her being mean to the poor, she gave her life to the poor. Did she have bad days I am sure she did she is only human we all do.
She was not very kind...ok and ? Being saint isn't being perfect. That is a huge difference. She wasn't, no saint has ever been. Some saints had truly difficult characters. But has she not done amazing things out of love and obedience for God ? Has she not helped thousands of people ? Has she not inspired many people to give their life for the poor or to be a bit more generous ? Has she not speak the Truth of God, for instance on abortion ? People lived in horrible conditions ...ok but compare to what ? This was still much better than without Mother Theresa and her order. Then obviously there was no money and lots of misery so... Don't let a documentary decides whether someone was truly united to God or not.
Hey Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day and I hope you are enjoying this video! I would love to connect with you!

Can I ask those who reading my comment to offer one minute to adore the holy face of our Jesus. Thanks !!
How do we do it?
