  • In week four of Behold, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, speaks about the healing of family and the Holy Family.
    Order the companion journal, Behold, today: www.avemariapr...
    Sr. Miriam reads this prayer for families from St. John Paul II:
    “Lord God, from you every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. Father, you are Love and Life. Through your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, a fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love. Grant that your grace may guide the thoughts and actions of husbands and wives for the good of their families and of all the families in the world. Grant that the young may find in the family solid support for their human dignity and for their growth in truth and love. Grant that love, strengthened by the grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass. Through the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that the Church may fruitfully carry out her worldwide mission in the family and through the family. We ask this of you who is life, truth, and love, with the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
    Have you ever wondered why Jesus was born in a stable? Sr. Miriam reflects on how the stable is a metaphor for your heart. You might think there is no way Jesus could be born
    in a stable or in your heart or in your family. But Sr. Miriam assures us that Jesus wants to be in your heart and in your family even in the midst of woundedness and selfishness. He desires to be in your family to heal all of you. Whatever your family situation, the Holy Family invites you to the stable this Christmas, to hold the infant Jesus, to sit with Mary and Joseph in the middle of the night, and to experience the healing power of the love and mercy of God.
    What would you like God to do for your family this Advent and Christmas?
    Tell the Lord what your family needs. The Lord wants wholeness and communion for all of you. Let Christ’s light shine in the stable of your heart this Christmas.

    Sr. Miriam James Heidland, I hope you see this. I first found you on UA-cam in an interview with Matt Fradd.
    ~Someday, when my soul is in heaven, and my heart is revealed to God, He is going to see a HUGE footprint on it. This is where Sr. Miriam walked. ~
    You have left footprints in my heart, and because of them, I have come closer to my Heavenly Father.
    God Bless You and Keep You Always.
    Happy Advent

    A powerful and heartfelt witness, as usual, from Sr. Miriam. Thank you for the wisdom and beauty of what you shared; the message with its sheer simplicity can sometimes be hard to accept , especially the message of being loved and wanted, and that no individual or family is beyond the redemptive and transformative power of God. May God continue to bless you in all the wonderful work you do and grant you and all your loved ones a very blessed and joyful Christmas. May these good tidings continue into 2023 - and beyond!

    Loved the connection of the smelly stable to our own hearts. Our hearts are definitely a mixture of good and bad. I continue to work in purifying my heart through the help of the Blessed Family. I will meditate on the parts in my family where I can provide healing and nourishment for it truly is a source of goodness and sadness. Thank you Sister Miriam for your insight, reflections, and love. We are truly grateful for this journey in life with you. God’s blessings.

    Ohh Sister…the stable, a blessing of privacy at a tremendously vulnerable time for a woman. A crowded inn, a sheet between families, hustle, bustle. I’m sure the stable offered comforts not often thought of. Security of being with St Joseph, perhaps a sympathetic woman coming to help. Who knows… but I think the stable blessed. ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄 I enjoyed your series on Advent. 😊

      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.

I have one son in seminary and 4 daughters that I feel some could have a calling, but there are none here to inspire them.
