  • In week one of Behold, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, reflects on Mary as healer and what it is to
    experience a mother’s love. Sr. Miriam shares a beautiful quote from The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander:
    “Mary is not wearied with our littleness; her smile comes down to us like a benediction through the sea of flickering candles, she blesses our wild flowers withering at her feet. For each one of us is ‘another Christ’ each one, to Mary, is her only child. It is, therefore, not tedious to her to hear the trifles that we tell her, to look at the bruises we bring to her, and seeing our wound of sin to heal it.”
    In this video, Sr. Miriam guides you to remember your mother. What was she like? What memories of
    her move your heart with joy?
    When was your mother not present to you? When did she not see you or meet your needs?
    The Lord is inviting you to surrender to him-and Our Lady-in these vulnerable and difficult places
    and to ask for healing to work through this relationship with your mother.
    No matter what has happened with your own mother, you have a spiritual mother, Mary, who LOVES
    you! She is kind, attentive, truthful, and desires to draw you closer to Jesus so that you might become fully alive in her son.

For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit.

      @@jacobking3211 Mary’s Role
      The highest form of honor, adoration (Latin “latria”) is given to God alone. The Catholic Church has always, and will always teach this. For example, the Catholic Church refuted the Collyridians in the fourth century because they did adore Mary.
      If someone professes to give this highest honor to Mary, they sadly cannot become a Catholic until they repent of this most serious error. If a Catholic falls into this most serious error, despite the Catholic Church’s strict prohibition against it, he must fully repent before he can enter into heaven.
      There are lesser forms of honor that God requires us to give to others. He commands us to honor our parents in Matthew 19:19. The Catholic Church uses the Latin term “dulia” to distinguish this lesser form of honor from the highest honor which is given to God alone, “latria,” or adoration.
      Mary has a special role among the Saints so the special honor given to her is called “hyperdulia” (hyper + dulia = more of the same.) The honor given to Mary is greater in degree, but it still is of the same kind as that given to the other saints. Because Mary is a finite creature who was saved by Jesus Christ the type of honor given to her is fundamentally different than the type of honor, “latria,” that is owed to the infinite Creator.
      When interpreting the various titles and prayers to Mary they must always be interpreted within the context of the more fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church about Jesus Christ.

      @@randyfua6138 sadly this is nothing less than idolatry. Every single trait that was applied to Mary are all characteristics of God such as, healing our sin, kindness, attentive to us, is a refuge, corrects in truth and love, not self seeking, drawing us to Christ. Praying to a statue is idolatry. Recently Pope Francis prayed to an painting of Mary and crowned her with a golden crown, it seems to me that the majority of Roman catholics have already given the highest of honor to Mary and the Saints rather than to God who is worthy to be praised.

      @@theodoresims5248 IV. "You Shall Not Make For Yourself a Graven Image . . ."
      Catechism of the Catholic church #
      2129 The divine injunction included the prohibition of every representation of God by the hand of man. Deuteronomy explains: "Since you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for yourselves, in the form of any figure...."66 It is the absolutely transcendent God who revealed himself to Israel. "He is the all," but at the same time "he is greater than all his works."67 He is "the author of beauty."
      2130 Nevertheless, already in the Old Testament, God ordained or permitted the making of images that pointed symbolically toward salvation by the incarnate Word: SO IT WAS WITH "THE BRONZE SERPENT, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, AND THE CHERUBIM."
      2131 Basing itself on the mystery of the incarnate Word, the seventh ecumenical council at Nicaea (787) justified against the iconoclasts the veneration of icons - of Christ, but also of the Mother of God, the angels, and all the saints. By becoming incarnate, the Son of God introduced a new "economy" of images.
      2132 The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it."70 The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone:
      Religious worship is not directed to images in themselves, considered as mere things, but under their distinctive aspect as images leading us on to God incarnate. the movement toward the image does not terminate in it as image, but tends toward that whose image it is.
      Cherubim On The Mercy Seat
      The Bible describes two golden figures of the cherubim with their wings stretched over the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant.
      You shall make two cherubim of gold; you shall make them of hammered work, at the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other; of one piece with the mercy seat you shall make the cherubim at its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings. They shall face one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be turned toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the covenant that I shall give you (Exodus 25:18-21).
      Bronze Serpent:
      Numbers 21:8-9
      8.The Lord said to Moses, " make a bronze serpent and put it in a flag pole and whoever is bitten and look at it ,will live.9.So, Moses made a bronze serpent and put it in a flag pole.
      2130 Nevertheless, already in the Old Testament, God ordained or permitted the making of images that pointed symbolically toward salvation by the incarnate Word: so it was with the bronze serpent, the ark of the covenant, and the cherubim.

I am now 67 years old and how I still miss my mother. So many things she could have taught me but blessed to have had a nurturing mother who also taught me to love our Blessed Mother.

      40
      where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
      41
      When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit,s
      42
      cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.t

I somehow translated that into my relationship with our Mother Mary. I could never pray to Her because I thought She was angry at me too. It's only through listening to you and your struggle and your words that I can now pray to Mary and try to think she loves me as I am. Also I pray to St Jospeph for His protection and guidance every single day and I sometimes think I found your videos with His help.

    I really want to thank you for this video. I always had complicated relationship with my parents which gave me I guess many wounds. Currently everything in life is tearing apart and you made this video. I want to thank you again you are really an image of a tender mother you seem like such a person someone can come to and tell all his sorrows.

      Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.

    Oh sister! I get you. I’m a cradle Catholic. And my amazing mom had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother. But I didn’t have the feels she did. Our parish priest told me after my confession to start a relationship with the Blessed Mother. I wasn’t sure how to do that, other than spending time with her. I started with 3 Hail Marys/dAy and read the Glories of Mary. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, I began to understand. It took time-but now I have all the FEELS! I’ve been praying a daily rosary for several years now, and it has made such a difference. She helps me love and serve Jesus more faithfully. Praying for all who watch this video.

      @@jacobking3211 Mary’s Role
      The highest form of honor, adoration (Latin “latria”) is given to God alone. The Catholic Church has always, and will always teach this. For example, the Catholic Church refuted the Collyridians in the fourth century because they did adore Mary.
      If someone professes to give this highest honor to Mary, they sadly cannot become a Catholic until they repent of this most serious error. If a Catholic falls into this most serious error, despite the Catholic Church’s strict prohibition against it, he must fully repent before he can enter into heaven.
      There are lesser forms of honor that God requires us to give to others. He commands us to honor our parents in Matthew 19:19. The Catholic Church uses the Latin term “dulia” to distinguish this lesser form of honor from the highest honor which is given to God alone, “latria,” or adoration.
      Mary has a special role among the Saints so the special honor given to her is called “hyperdulia” (hyper + dulia = more of the same.) The honor given to Mary is greater in degree, but it still is of the same kind as that given to the other saints. Because Mary is a finite creature who was saved by Jesus Christ the type of honor given to her is fundamentally different than the type of honor, “latria,” that is owed to the infinite Creator.
      When interpreting the various titles and prayers to Mary they must always be interpreted within the context of the more fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church about Jesus Christ.
