- Sister Miriam James Heidland
Thank You Sr.Miriam James you gave me your time gifted spiritual direction and kindness at a very difficult time. Thank You once again.
I’m so broken I can’t be fixed here on earth. No therapy, no drugs can help. I have to wait till I die. I’m not called blue bear but for a reason.
@@bluebear7061 dear Blue Bear, See if you can find a book called, “He and I “ it is a spiritual journal of a French woman . She was having Locutions. They are like love letters from God . Even if it is fictional they are beautiful. And if you can find an adoration chapel and sit with the Blessed Sacrament ;even if only for a few minutes to start. I fell in love with Jesus in an adoration chapel. There is great healing in all the sacraments, but adoration is the one thing satan and the fallen angels refuse to do. God’s healing is for now all the way to heaven. My heart goes out and my prayers.
@@maryshannon7551 pray for me. Through my suffering I love Jesus. I attend Mass every week. Please pray for me
@@bluebear7061 God wants to heal and restore us. He wants that for us now. Nothing is impossible for God. Will be praying for you
Sr. Miriam is responsible for bringing me back to my Catholic roots. Through watching her and her wonderful heartwarming talks telling me God loves me, I came back to the Catholic Church, went to confession and became a practicing Catholic after 25 years of being away. Forever indebted to this holy nun. 💖
Your comment was warmed my heart🌹
@@maysamson851 Thank you. She made me realize Jesus loves me no matter what. I have also brought my daughter into the faith and she will be confirmed next year. It all started with a click on Sr. Miriam James, I owe her so much!
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Amen
Praise God!!! Such joyful news🥰
Praise God!
Am from Africa and I'm pentecostal, I didn't know nuns can be open and talk about their personal life. AM Amazed by sr Miriam!I love her
Same here !!! I thought it was against nun law to be able to be open 🤣
There are all types of nuns. Typically “nuns” live in cloistered communities in convents. “Sisters” tend to be more involved in community. All groups of nuns/sisters have different purpose and missions. Some teach, do soup kitchens, work at hospitals, etc. There is an interesting docuseries called The Sisterhood. It follows 5 girls trying to decide if it’s right for them. It’s actually really interesting. You can find clips on UA-cam I believe. Oh and I have heard the movie Cabrini is really good, too.
Bless you dear sister ❤️
I imagine that when Our Blessed Mother laughs, she sounds like Sr. Miriam.
“There’s nothing wrong with you, your heart’s just been broken.”
Wow…beautiful. Thank you.
I was fifteen minutes in and thought, "When this woman dies, I want to be the one that she works a miracle for so that she can beatified." Sr. Miriam's presentation of Christ and how He longs to heal us is ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL. How have I never heard the Gospel preached like this by the Church? She has the urgency of Evangelicals with the truth of the Magisterium--there is NOTHING dry, compromising, or stiff about Sr. Miriam! Neither does she condemn, contradict, or pontificate. I definitely think she's "got" whatever that priest she was talking about has.
Dang it!! She always makes me cry!! Because she is so beautiful, because I see Jesus and Mary in her. God bless you Sr Miriam.
Oh man.... This is why people are Catholic. Thank you. I need to listen to this a few more times.
"not why the addiction, why the pain"... Oh man. Bottomless pit of implications.
Didn't know nuns could make grown men cry ;-)
They can.
You said it perfectly.
Just holding it together. This is like a sledgehammer.
And this is why we need more nuns😀 Sr Miriam is the epitome of feminine beauty 👌
Amen!
❤️
She is a nun and it isn’t appropriate to refer to her as an “epitome of feminine beauty”.
@@svetlanabarrow6026 why not?
@@NicklasNylander87 because she’s a nun and she should not be judged on her “feminine beauty”. Bad enough that all women get constantly judged, at least leave nuns alone. The whole thing was about completely different thing and I don’t understand why her “feminine beauty” should be brought up at all?
“There’s nothing wrong with you, your heart’s been broken” - Sr Miriam
Beautiful ❤️ only Jesus can truly heal my brokenness
In time Jesus will heal you soon
This was a great interview, but I spent most of it trying not to ugly cry in front of my coworker.
I was driving as i listened and thought i would have to pull over. It was almost uncontrollable
whoa, there is no way I could have watched/ listened to this at work. Ugly cry, smiling and laughing all the way through.
As a Psychology (counselling) undergraduate I found it wonderful to hear such a beautiful knowledgable lady blending trauma theory and the Catholic spirit into one. Science need not be the enemy of faith. Science makes concrete that which we already know in our hearts. God bless you both for such an honest and frank (yet beautifully measured) conversation.
I agree, so beautiful and so true. Understanding science is not opposed to God. I think of God as the great Scientist, Healer, Artist, Companion and of course Creator of all.
@@anitastar1253 Amen to that.
I was brought to faith in our Lord and Savior through the witness of my Christian counselor after spending over a year in therapy with her.
I love this sentiment. Faith and spirituality can coexist and even bolster one another as early scientists can attest.
Sister Miriam is helping to heal so many
Protestant who prays Catholic prayers. On a journey. Love "Pints" and watch when something piques my interest. God led me to this today for so many reasons. Truly profound. Thank you Sister Miriam and Matt!
That’s how mama Mary gets you 😍 I’m a convert 😀
@UCylH6K3dLxQSDzihavC25uw missing the point but ok.
“Protestant who prays Catholic prayers” a comfort May you receive the support to continue your spiritual journey
You’ll be coming home in no time! I’ll welcome you home in advance!
@jacegil that’s she’s our mother and we love our mama!
I’m not catholic but I love your channel so much. ❤️
We love you being here with us ❤️✝️❤️
Come join us !
Sr Miriam is like the mentor, sister and best friend you admire.
“The only way is through”. More truer words were never spoken. We can only grow through suffering.
I’m publishing a weekly UA-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you
I have no words. This is the most beautiful interview you've ever done, Matt, and that is saying a lot. I was in tears so many times, I don't know how you held yourself together with that beautiful Light of Christ shining at you across the table.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋☺️😀
Such a delightful laugh & soul. God bless you, Sr Miriam!!
Wow ❤️🔥
"A religious life is not a reward for good behavior". Wow. So profound. And I can apply that as well in my vocation of marriage and motherhood, where I so often feel like I'm not "good enough". This vocation is not a reward, it's a gift and a calling. God bless you, sister, for your wisdom. I was so incredibly blessed by this talk.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋😀☺️☺️
I love when Sister Miriam throws her head back and laughs. So beautiful and hopeful. I am a brand new Catholic and having a very difficult day. God brought this video across my radar as a reminder that Jesus Who is the Center of the universe, is also right here with me. No matter how broken, sinful and sad I am. This video brought me joy and healing.
Isn't wonderful how much God loves us. He sends us videos like these when we need them the most. I came upon it today when I needed it.
Yes. Never forget, you AND Jesus are doing YOUR life together! ❤️
sister Miriam has one of the most peaceful voices I've ever heard
EVERY SINGLE TIME. Every time I run across Sr. Miriam, I just sit and ugly cry. She is so lovely. I even work alone as an artist and farmer (in part due to my lifelong belief that I am too difficult to work with people). I am still in love with my Catholic faith, but without any credit to the sisters that taught at my very liberal catholic school in the 1970’s (you can imagine). They had abandoned their habits and were simply angry remainders of Vatican II’s groovification of the 1970’s in pastel polyester pantsuits. I knew I was ugly and smelly and difficult and contrary and I didn’t know who to ask or where to go with it. Those sisters seemed only compounded it-often brutally. So, I ugly cry, and even in my solitude, I look over my shoulder and am ashamed of my red face. So thank you for having this intuitive, empathic heart in her plain habit that declares who she serves loud and clear.
😢🙏🌸💖
❤💔❤
This sister has given me the conviction that I have seen a saint with my own eyes. What a holy heart and soul
literally crying through this entire thing, but in a beautiful way. May the Lord bless you both.
God Bless this beautiful woman. I needed to hear this.
Absolutely LOVED this entire interview. It was also refreshing to see Matt Fradd showing vulnerability here 💛 He's always pretty great in his videos / podcast, it's just that this time, Sr. Miriam somehow effortlessly managed to create a safe space for him to just be. I don't think I've ever seen him this tender and being able to witness that was such a delight. It actually felt less like an interview and more like an honest conversation between two holy friends.
At one point Sr. Miriam talked about the priest who evangelized her and how much he exuded Christ's love. I can honestly say the absolute same about her. She glows so differently and radiates in such a holy way that you just know that Christ is alive and real in her heart.
Thank you to the both of you for baring your souls and for allowing the Holy Spirit to be at work. Thank you both for the gift of who you are.
Absolutely recommend this Abiding Together x Pints with Aquinas crossover 😌💯 God bless and I hope you reach more people!

Sr. Miriam goes deep. I feel like this is my therapy appt/spiritual direction meeting🥰
This is sooooo beautiful but I had to stop watching because I was doing my makeup for a dinner and I suddenly had an immense desire to cry endlessly 🤧
I’ll return tomorrow ❤️
Sr Miriam is graced by God. Her approach, her tone of voice while she proclaims the glory of God... she's truly anointed.
" You spend your whole life allowing the Lord to come and heal you... We're always on a journey of love...", "I'm not a healer but an instrument of healing... so I give every single one of these people up to the Lord..."
Matt's vulnerable side is unparalleled... and I agree with his statement "We like to bring up each other's sins up... those we consider worst than us..."
@01:40:25 That closing healing prayer and meditation 🙏
God bless you both
This interview hits straight to the soul! Thanks be to God! As an adoptee, I understand the feeling of darkness from neglect and loneliness throughout my childhood. However, my faith provided the light and strength to go through the darkness and learn the greatness of the lord. Thank you for this interview!

You are not an adoptee. You are the son of God.
I needed this badly, Sister Mirian James is such a gift to the church, she always makes me aware that Christ loves me, I am so lucky to have seen this interview. I cried healing tears! Love you both!
This woman is amazing.
I love her perspective on psychology and how she brings in that knowledge.
Yes, all love is from God. If there is goodness, beauty, truth, the Lord is there.
May we trust that all the avenues of healing lead to the vision of God.
Thank you.
Thank also Mr. Fradd for your vulnerability in this episode.
God bless you.
I’m a minute in and she just seems like genuinely lovely human being.
Dear Matt, Sister Miriam is a remarkable person. Her honesty and insights are very inspiring. She is so beautiful in heart, mind , and countenance! The Lord has richly blessed her. + Love, John C.
Sr. Miriam James has a truly beautiful heart for Jesus ,comes shining through all she had to say today ♥️🙏🕊
One of the most profound conversations I’ve heard in a while. I’m still trying to figure out my pain.
Check alexithymia.
It might be that one.
Or
You can pray the Holy Spirit, ask directly this question to the Lord and open randomly the bible. You will find your answer there. Shalom
I love her laugh😊😊😊. The joy of the Lord is our strength. God bless you sister
Amen🙏🙏
Thank you Sr. for answering God's call..
Thank you Fr. to you too for listening to God's call 🙏🏼💫
"Our emotions are always telling us something - they're giving clues to our heart" ❤️
Unbelievably gorgeous. Heart cracked wiiiiide. 💔♥️❤️🔥
Dear God, thank you for Sr Miriam and her authentic and healing love. Her story deeply resonates with me.
I envy Matt that he, rather than me, is sitting across the table in conversation with her.
She’s got it! As a specialist as sexual abuse trauma therapist for over 35 years True healing is incorporating the spiritual and psychological brings true healing. It is an eclectic approach. Most don’t understand about getting to the root. Most address secondary pain instead of primary or original pain. Sexual abuse is called soul murder. People seldom recognize the huge tentacles of abuse has on a victim. She started drinking after the abuse. He was sexually abused also. The bottom line of all sexual abuse and the hardest to reach in the core is self hatred. Thank you Sister, you say exactly what the Holy Spirit showed me about forgiveness. I have never heard anyone else say forgiveness is a process. Also, as victim never confronts a perpetrator. And forgiveness is very different than reconciliation. Two different processes. A perpetrator should be reported and arrested. If a family member family of Victim needs to cutoff perpetrator. Many people though have repressed dissociated memories. That’s the hardest to have huge symptoms but the victim doesn’t know why. God is so faithful. He is waiting with bated breath of Holy Spirit to invite him into the dark walled off chambers of pain. He is the healer.
Thankyou for telling us about secondary trauma often being not having anyone to share with. It’s almost like that’s almost the primary… Thankyou for telling us about this. Hopefully we’ll help others now we know this. Thankyou so much
Haven't heard about 'Attachment Theory" but your testimony has touched my heart. Although my story is different, the wounds are similar. You have given this 74 yr old another perspective on my recurring pain and depression [literal pain from fibromyalgia which may have roots in PTSD from childhood emotional and physical abuse.]
This was so beautiful. I cried several times. What a beautiful woman she is. The true healing power of christ
I have already listened to the prayer at the end again. It starts at 1:42:22. I needed/ need that. Please just be open to praying the prayer she says.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋😀
An absolutely beautiful ending prayer. So much love, calmness, and words of truth spoken ❤️❤️
I had the blessing of meeting Sr Miriam James at the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative in NJ...she is a beautiful daughter of God both in body and soul...thank you Jesus, for her vocation!
Sister Miriam is such a beautiful soul. Wow. She is incredible. What a breath of fresh air and light. Bless her and Bless you too Matt for bringing this angel onto your show. I could listen to her for hours. Jesus has touched her and made her his light.
You both are just lovely...when you speak of your Momma...brings tears to my eyes...my Momma has buried five of her thirteen children which breaks my heart...so true our Mommas were little girls at one time as well, stay humble and kind...we all have our own stories and I am grateful and thankful for your openness...and sharing your stories...
May God Bless you both and all Worldwide... peace be with one and all... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God is great.
Sr Miriam is such an authentic soul. Your vulnerability is your very strength because the light of Christ shines so strongly through your struggles. Do not let anyone lessen your value to our Lord and His Mother, no matter what. Thank you for blessing the hurting souls around the world. We are praying for you 🙏
I too was adopted, 70+ yrs. ago.. we didn’t know until our teens, which was a total shock. And as you shared, the bio-mom had had abortions, and my brother and I are probably blessed not to be been aborted! But I suffer high levels of fear and anxiety. So thanks for sharing your story!! God bless you!
Matt shows great compassion here. Lovely to see. 🙏
A beautiful woman with a beautiful soul; He is risen indeed!
I found your channel in the hope of finding a way to heal my brokenness at the moment. And I think this was the Lord leading me as a way to give answers to my never ending questions to Him everyday. I am blessed to have found your channel. It was by God's grace and because of this grace, I am being blessed by listening to you. Thank you and praise God!
“The lord has placed me in this part of the battlefield to tear down strongholds, proclaim the gospel and save souls.”
💕 so good
I come back to this interview from time to time and hear things I really needed to hear. Thank you Matt for bringing her on the podcast. I hope you invite her back soon.
I love this Sister! Found her several months ago on UA-cam. I was just recently confirm to the church in March. I started heavy drinking at age 12 and fell in love with it immediately. Been a 12 step program. Went into treatment in 2000. put together several years had some pretty good success and stop going to meeting stop going to God and the insanity returned and I picked up a drink again. I haven’t touched alcohol since 2006. I relate to so much with this beautiful Sister has shared! Keep rocking and sister Mariam and God bless!
Two years later, relistening and Im crying again. So healing. God bless you both.
I had to stop the interview after 44 mins to say Sr. Miriam you are an amazing and powerful soul. So much respect for you ❤️
So late watching, but boy do I need a retreat with you Sr. Miriam❤🙏🙏🙏 love from Kristy in Missouri 😃🙏🙏🙏
Wow, you are such an example of hope to me Sister Miriam. Thank you for sharing your healing of the little girl inside of you. I pray I come to love the little girl fully in me as well!
I am a catholic competitive athlete and I love what sister said about sports as a hint of eternity.
I wish I could press 'like' again, again and again 🥰 what a beautiful interview
No words...love u Jesus for making me see this❤️
Sister Miriam pierces my heart with her joy and authenticity and beauty. Somehow the result is massive tears falling from my eyes. She makes me want to be so holy.
How can anyone dislike this post?!!!
Let’s pray for them!🙏🏻
Thank you Sr Miriam for drawing me near to the Blessed Mother and helping this former Lutheran to become Catholic. 🙏
I was SO excited to see that you had her on the show, Matt! God bless you Sr. Miriam James! Your talks have helped me so much. All glory to Jesus Christ, He has begun the journey of healing with me. Thank you so much to both you, Matt, and you, Sr. Miriam James!
Greetings from Poland! Thank you Sister and Matt!
That prayer touched me so deeply. I couldn't stop crying and my wrists were crying out
Sister Miriam is such a blessing ❤
What a wonderful God we have! Full of Compassion and Mercy for each one of His children...
👍😊
Maybe He shouldn't have created me then
Good Catholic priests are such a huge blessing. I praise God for giving me the loveliest Jesuits fathers as my friends and mentors. I pray that all hurting souls receive this blessing. It was a Catholic father who got me out of depression and suicidal thoughts. I cannot be more thankful to God for these soldiers of Christ.
It is extremely important to pray for good, genuine priests and nuns bc the world needs them sooo bad now.
May God bless Sr. Miriam, I love her profoundly. I’m overwhelmed by her capacity to love and to heal. She is working miracles and probably she’s not even aware of it.
Love does work miracles and forces the evil succumb to its power. 😇🙏
Im really glad you had a good spiritual father who helped you where you needed it- I'm even more grateful that you were honest with him!! I've noticed that when I'm not honest with the people in my life, my problems spiral and get worse and worse, but honestly is freeing and healing
Sr. Miriam is absolutely amazing!! She is literally a blessing to the world!!
May God continue bless you sister!! 🤍🕊🙏🏼
She is pure delight... and divinely kind!!!! Love this sister!!!!!
This conversation was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart and your story, Sister Miriam.
What an amazing servant of our Lord and savior! I have been struggling with my sins and addictions with feelings of self hatred, shame, and that I’m just not good enough. I’ve always been so hard on myself. Dealing with rejection and feelings of not being loved or valued. I’ve been craving to see the face of our lord as if he is hidden and her leading of prayer helped me and revealed my lord to me this day! Amen
I was sexually abused from ages 6 to 12 by a close family friend. He told me, " your Mother can't help you, not even God can help you." Been struggling with that for years,
Im glad to say I have good news. Jesus has died for you to be healed! It's already done! Take authority and command the depression, condemnation, and shame out! You are free in Christ Jesus, he loves you more than you could ever imagine!
I pray what Paul prayed, that God opens up your heart to receive ALL of His blessings he has paid the price for you to have. I love you fellow Catholic! Not all men are bad. I promise.
Went to Steubenville and saw her, She was so goooood!
I always cry when listening to Sister Miriam James.
This is so hard! I've been going to "King's Men" meetings since 08, and for the first time I opened up to my brothers what's going on inside of me. I am a 58 year old man who is an ex marine, and I am still dominated by fear! 😰
I miss Fr. John Corapi. Keep him in your prayers 🙏🏻
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋😀
Me too. Yes, we need to pray for him
I have.
I want to give sister Miriam the biggest hug. 🤗 ❤️
This woman is absolutely compelling; a ferocious intellect and a beautiful person.
Thank you for honesty… you are my role model Sister… I want to be just like you when I grow up 🤗… (btw we are the same age) 😁 love you both and I pray that God watches over both of you and our Mother Mary holds you by the hand each and every day. 💕
I wanted to add that the prayer was incredible. I had tears of healing and joy. Thank you Lord. 🙏
“I’m grateful for my wounds, if it were not for them I would have not known the tender love of Joseph and Mary and the sweetness of the Lord”. That hit me hard… 😭…What an inspiration you are Sister Miriam. Thank you Matt for having Sister Miriam. This is the first time I’ve seen her and I can relate to her in some aspects. God is great!🌹🤍
That hit me too. That, and her comment regarding the fact that no one comes to ministry perfectly healed.
How I love Sister Miriam James. She has helped me to come back to Our Lord in such a wonderful way.
This was one of the most precious things I've ever heard. Thank you so much for bringing this incredible lady to us! She is a treasure from God.
Thank you Matt and Sr. Miriam for this interview. It’s so powerful. It’s so necessary. We need this kind of vulnerability and authentic love front and center in our conversations. Thank you.
Dear Matt, can you please make a 'short' of Sr. Miriam's prayer of healing. It's so moving and I find myself coming back to it again and again. Thank you both and God's blessings.
Love Sister Miriam Heidland, she is so spontaneous and her witness touches each of our own hearts and how to recognise trauma moments and heal with the help of God. Thank you Matt!
Thank you for helping us to understand and overcome the “sins of our youth”! God bless you both! This is what the internet SHOULD be used for!
In healing tears now,heartfelt thank you for this
This was fantastic conversation
Vulnerability and strength. What a giant Sr Miriam is. Thank you. God bless.
Yup
30 minutes in..she has me in tears.♥️♥️♥️
This was so beautiful. Needs more views. Let’s have a resurgence of this video in 2023!!
