In 2022 I was in a nursing home trying to recuperate from a fall. After several weeks I felt despair because my roommates were dying. I talked to Jesus, not in prayer, but in desperation for I thought death was at my door. My pain was so great, my fear greater, and I forgot how to pray. So, I understand now that people we’re praying to Jesus for me. It explains why I left soon after to finally receive hip surgery from a fracture that nobody knew I was suffering from. Since that surgery I decided to be baptized Catholic, which hopefully will happen in 2024. Ironically, I have rheumatoid arthritis and gravitated to the Carnivore diet to reduce inflammation from eating a plant-based diet.
Dearest Diane, God is good. He loves you so much and the Holy Spirit is guiding you. I pray that you will be confirmed at Easter in 2024 and I welcome you to the Holy Catholic family! I converted some 35 years ago and am still growing and learning and appreciating and loving Jesus and His Holy Catholic Church and Mary more and more daily. God bless you in abundance. Love to you ⚘⚘🕯🕯
God will heal you from many physical and spiritual suffering. The body of Christ you will receive is the best medicine. I have been healed from many things after receiving His precious Body
Diane, thank you for sharing your conversion story. Welcome to the Catholic Church. Christ will help you to make a beautiful gift of your suffering to the Eternal Father for your salvation and that of the world. And the Holy Spirit will fill you with his gifts. 🙏🙏
This is what the Internet is for: a new convert and a successor to the Apostles, in a session of spiritual direction, laid out for all of us to hear! ❤
@@arnolddavidson5245yes, you can see it in the lives of so many saints. Joy does not equal happiness, so there can be joy (a fruit of the Holy Spirit) in knowing yourself loved by God, despite the suffering. Bishop Barron has a meditation on this analyzing an image of Jesus on the cross.
I LOVED this podcast! What a fantastic discussion between Bishop Baron and Tammy. Tammy, I so appreciate your humbleness and honesty. I, too, am a new Catholic convert, going through OCIA now. Bishop Baron , thank you. You have had such a powerful impact on my life and brought me to the Catholic Church. God Bless you both. 🙏
When I found out Tammy was sick I went to the tomb of St. Charbel with my mom, who is also a fan of JP and his family, and prayed for her healing and conversion, as I’m sure many Catholics around the world did. Seeing this now is just.. amazing. Truly, the power of prayer, especially in numbers, is astounding.
Yes! A good friend of mine just sent me a prayer card for St. Charbel. When I heard online that Tammy was sick I began praying and praying for her as I had been praying for Dr. Peterson already. I included her and her family in my Rosaries and my Chaplet of Divine Mercy. We are united in prayer, a huge family in Christ! God bless and protect you and yours and keep you always in His loving care in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen!
Tammy, I met you in Indianapolis when I saw Jordan speak. I sat next to you and I have to say you were incredibly friendly. We talked a decent amount before his talk started but you never mentioned who you were. You just talked about how you were a McGill graduate and you were involved with researching interesting nerve therapies. I learned afterwards I was sitting next to Jordan's wife. From our short encounter I could just tell you were a pure heart with incredible humility. I later learned what a faithful Catholic you are and that makes me so happy. God bless you and I wish you and your family the best!
Thank you Tammy and Bishop Barron for this podcast. You can both review your day in a prayerful state knowing you have touched my heart with in a very special way. Because I have returned to God no so long ago, and I struggle with prayer, and you have helped me a lot. Praise God that I found this podcast, because I have prayed for Him to help me with prayer since I aim to serve Him. God bless you and keep you both. Thank you again.
I grew up in the same household and today I learned that the reason why I don't like crowds is there were no healthy boundaries growing up. I am speechless. Thank you Tammy
My Grandma prayed twice a day for her children and grandchildren. At her funeral we felt the presence of God a peace and love that permeated our whole being. The pastor said he only felt this a handful of times. Pray is the key to getting to heaven! God thinks about you all the time. Spend some time with Him! Viva Cristo Rey! ❤️🙏
As a woman I use to always fear walking in the street by myself. But since I consecrated my life to the scared heart of Jesus and prayer with our Lady. I realized that I have to be ready at all times to serve God. So when I walk down the street, I look at all things and all people and I open myself to be available, whether it is to smile and say hello, to look someone in the eye in acknowledgement, to help, to give, to pray. When I make things less about me and more about God I naturally have less fear and more love ❤ life becomes abundant and courageous

The story of Tammy Peterson turning to the Catholic Church moved my heart and gave me a great peace of mind that the Catholic Church will survive, regardless of all the attacks and alarming changes within. This is the only Church in which the holiness is deeply felt.
In Ireland, It was horrific how, for decades, Girls and boys were raped, beaten, and murdered in the thousands. If the church came out and handed the evil over to the authorities instead of them moving them to other towns and villages to do more evil. It's sad because I'm of generation born in 80s and we really wanted to believe, but this was so horrific that they've almost lost a couple of generations. I've started praying again, though, and trying to understand it deeper, to connect with Jesus again. Maybe at the moment I'm calling myself more Christian than Catholic.
Aren't you exaggerating a BIT? the advice I'd would give is to be thankful to God for everything, everyday - this will connect you to Jesus more than anything. The understanding will come by itself. Best wishes to you!@@fonz114

I have brain injury from an antidepressant (horrible withdrawal syndrome) and the extreme anxiety makes it so hard to pray the Rosary. My mind is actually broken and it scares me because the thoughts I get are not organic, feels like the devil can sneak more into my head. Lord, I ask for a MIRACLE of healing and freedom from psychiatric medication.
🙏prayers for your healing in your body, mind, soul, memories … May God’s healing love and mercy surround you and sustain you as you heal. Not every healing is immediate . Many are healed incrementally and by different ways. Keep trying to pray your rosary. Do not worry about being what you think is “successful” in finishing it or feeling a certain way. God knows your struggles , just offer Him your faithfulness and your perseverance.
@thisgirl5933 have you looked into TMS treatment? I'm not sure it would be an option for you due to the brain injury you're describing, but it may be worth looking into. May God grant you peace 🩵

@@trinitymatrix9719 what? Divison? O Lord! I live in estern europa, and we do not understand your meaning of division! No Ortadox would ever be hurting by me interdising myself as a catholic! he would know we are braders and sisters!
“Obligation to be useless”. Knowing how much Bishop Barron works and is probably tempted to be a work a holic, this was so encouraging to me. I also pray out on my porch. Rain or shine.
Hi Tammy, I am loving this wonderful conversation. I am a counselling psychologist from Ireland. More please, we need you and Bishop Barron getting so real like this. I am going to share this with so many people. Thank you to yourself and this great bishop. He keeps me going in my faith. I actually needed to hear this conversation today. God bless you Tammy. I will pray for you.
I really like this gentle, compassionate and conversational style of teaching Bishop Barron here. Taking from her lead, very gracious. Responding to this lady's soft spokeness. Teaching but also attentive and respectful. Beautiful ❤
Tammy I have just come back to the Catholic after a 32 year break. I recently caught you and Jordan talking about praying the rosary and was really blown away. When people ask why I believe the answer is so simple: Because I've seen evidence. Rock on
My fellow 'revert' I was away from the Church for almost 15 years and returned just this past February. I believe the Lord brought me back through the Blessed Mother and the rosary. Let's keep going and grow in love and faith!
I love this interview. It energizes my own prayer life, by reminding me about the astonishing beauty of communication with the Almighty Creator, Father of my soul.
I met Bishop Barron in Rochester Minnesota in August 2023 at Mass. I approached him and he said he would pray for my struggling adult son. His words gave me great comfort.
I am so happy that you became Catholic dear Tammy, you are Lords blessing to the whole world! May God bless you, dear Jordan and your whole family! Much love to you!
I think Bishop Barron and I came of age at the same time in the late 70's and 80's. I stayed away from the rosary because it brought back the memories of kneeling forever in church in grammar school wishing it would end. This lent, I thought I will add the rosary to my routine, and with the help of Bishop Barrons youtube clips on the mysteries of the rosary, I'm loving it. I get towards the end and actually want to go on and on.
And The Stations of The Cross. Something about bishop’s voice, I felt like I was in pilgrimage. Thank God for bishop Baron. I don’t know if it’s right to pray for copies of him. The Catholic and non-Catholic worlds needs him.
I'm Irish too and grew up saying the Rosary in 11 mins my whole childhood. My Mother met a beautiful nun when she was very poorly in hospital who did exactly the same for my Mother,getting her to talk and cry between decades....A powerful emotional cure
I'm listening from Heiligenkreuz, Austria, and I love this podcast. I'm not much of a writer, but I sit down with a notebook and keep writing down quotes. Thank you so much dear Tammy Peterson. God bless you and your family! Frohen Advent!
Please your Grace Bishop Barron. Start a movement to put tabernacles back on the sanctuary. It and clergy only. Let’s make the Churches sacred again. Surely that will help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am so over the top excited to see Tammy and Bishop Barron discussing the faith. This makes me cry for joy. I have listened to Jordan for a long time because he’s searching for God. And it’s interesting how suffering can do that which it did for Tammy. She has found Jesus! She is a beautiful lady and I will now start watching her too, which is so wonderful. We have beauty right in front of our eyes everybody. We are watching souls being converted. Please keep watching! God bless you! 👏🙏😍
There is no doubt about it, in these odd times, countless people are flocking to Christ. It is absolutely beautiful to see. We must all keep Christ in our hearts so that He can work through us to enter the hearts of others. No matter what you are going through, remain steadfast in your faith. God bless you all.
A beautiful chat as it is a Spiritual talk I love it thanks alot Tammy you are bless.for getting this opportunity to talk with a such Spiritual Person .Praise be to Our Lord Jesus
May God continue to bless you and your family, Mrs. Peterson. I'm so happy you're on the path to the true Church of Christ. I pray your husband (and all your family) follows you. Stay strong. We have entered a troubling time for the Church and Christians en masse. May the Blessed Mother guide you, as well. + In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
For those suffering, whose faith is weak, and feel as though God has forgotten them… This podcast is for you. You are NOT alone in your suffering. The two books mentioned: 1) Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light 2) Saint John of the Cross: The Dark Night of the Soul
God has answered this prayer/psalm 14 so many times!! Over and over through the years ”Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. For your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.“ Psalms 143:1-12 NIV bible.com/bible/111/psa.143.10.NIV
God bless you Mrs Peterson and your beautiful family. My husband and I are going through the 33 day retreat in preparation of the Marion Consecration. God continue to bless you and your family what gifts you have all offered ❤
I was moved by this conversation between Bishop Barron and Tammy Peterson. I love Tammy‘s presence: authentic and vulnerable. She brought to mind my own feeling of being on fire with the love of God when I returned to the Catholic faith after a 50+ year hiatus. Bishop Barron was at the door welcoming me, and I could not get enough of his work. I will never forget hearing him say “God is creating you in every moment.” I can identify with the enthusiasm Tammy exuded even to the point of finishing Bishop Barron’s sentences from time to time. Tammy’s story is remarkable and I’m sure will be an inspiration for many people. I feel privileged to be living in the same time period with Bishop Barron. He is a remarkable gift of Grace. I pray for him daily. Thanks be to God
What a beautiful soul of a lady. Intelligent yet humble, she exudes light. I'm going to pray that her cancer stays in remission for very selfish reasons--it will break my heart if she passes.
As a person who should probably be catholic I LIVE for these interactions! I adore Bishop Barron and Tammy is just beautiful to listen to. This is so nice❤
By the way Heiligenkreuz Monastery in Austria is a Cistercian Monastery with a longstanding connection to the Royal House of Habsburg. As Bishop Barron pointed out in his conversation with Mrs. Peterson, the Cistercians are reform of the Benedictines, and its most known Founding Member was St. Bernard of Clairvaux, who himself was a contemporary of Hildegard of Bingen.
That whole concept of 'uselessness' is undervalued. It proves to yourself that work is not all there is. The diametric opposite of the 'Protestant work ethic'.
I love that woman ! Tammy is humble, sweet, has a soft voice, she loves to learn. The kind of woman I would like as a friend. I'm so thankful that God healed her cancer. I just want to say that I don't like the word "useless" because in fact praying is never useless. We can pray for persecuted Christians around the world, who are tortured, imprisoned, etc. Our prayers are always helpful with intention.💕
Tammy, your conversations are heartfelt and genuine - what a beautiful channel! May Our Lord continue to bless you with humility and honesty in truth. 🔥 ♥️
Glad to see you come to the Faith! Prayer has saved my life as I had my year of Job, as I call it. Not anywhere near his suffering, but the worst year of my life. Trust in God has been a blessing . My prayers were for the ability to endure and he gave it to me😄
Congrats Tammy on your conversion and healing. Bishop Barron thanks so much for your words. That Psalm you mentioned I will look for as with what has happened to me physically and financially since July I feel kind of like Job! Thanks again
Tammy reminds me so much of my mother. What a wonderful, lovely, intelligent, determined and soft person. My mother had a bit of a miraculous cancer recovery that we attributed to her Catholic faith, which I hear is similar to Tammy's story. My mother has since passed but it's nice to see another person of her type to some meaningful degree bringing goodness to people.
There are so many take aways from this beautiful conversation but I think what I absolutely love is Tammy's humility. She is like a humble student coming to a teacher to learn the wise ways of the master. Much like Paul's relationship with Timothy. It is beautiful to witness this journey Tammy, I pray that God continues to move and draw you more and more into his eternal spiring of everlasting life! Much love, from a Catholic seminarian. You and your husband are both sources of tremendous inspiration for me and you are both in my prayer.
Tammy is just a wonderful lady. Her new found joy in our Lord and Saviour is such a beautiful thing to see. Welcome home my dear. God bless to you and all the Peterson’s!
Wow! Great conversations. I feel you Tammy, your experience reflects what I have gone through too. And The Light shines through you. You just can see it. What a beautiful soul. And humble but intellectually Bishop Barron gave me a lot of wisdom too. I Thank God so much for the both of you.
"Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do", was my favorite Hank Williams song when I was 3 years old! I still have the record with the purple crayon marking that my mother colored so I knew which side the song was on (so I was too young to read but I could put a record on a turntable and drop the needle)! This is true Catholic Spirituality, seeing God's glory in all things. What a wonderful conversation!
What an AMAZING interview! I've never watched Tammy Peterson before. Also, Bishop Barron's description of "Jesus" as an Icon of the invisible & mystery of GOD is such a concrete vision to me of appreciating what GOD wants for the natural world. Also, his discussion of the "Hail Mary" is so enlightening & reassuring to me. I find his personal sharing @ the Rosary in his early years, interesting also, but now, important in his life. That vision of prayer for someone, is an idea that I heard @ when I was @ 8 yrs old, from a protestant missionary, Rev Dr. Frank Laubach, who wrote @ universal prayer. He has long gone to his glory. Your discussion @ Transubstantiation always inspires & reassures me. Thank you both, for that discussion. The reminder, frequently used, "Love casts out all fear". That practice of review of the day is such an important reminder. I appreciate Bishop Barron's listening to Ms. Peterson's details of illness. I imagine that is difficult for most males, & surely priests, to have to endure female details of living! Is GOD even interested (& in) the details??

Lord, I ask for a MIRACLE of healing and freedom from psychiatric medication.
🙏prayers for your healing in your body, mind, soul, memories … May God’s healing love and mercy surround you and sustain you as you heal. Not every healing is immediate . Many are healed incrementally and by different ways. Keep trying to pray your rosary. Do not worry about being what you think is “successful” in finishing it or feeling a certain way. God knows your struggles , just offer Him your faithfulness and your perseverance.
@@anitacerny7626 Thank you for your prayer and kind words of encouragement.
@thisgirl5933 have you looked into TMS treatment? I'm not sure it would be an option for you due to the brain injury you're describing, but it may be worth looking into. May God grant you peace 🩵

May God bless and keep you. May His light shine upon you. Praying for your healing and peace.
Praise to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! ✝✝✝ In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, please continue to bless Tammy with strength and good health. Amen.
Love you both as a catholic sister, and praying for you in Medjugorje. tammy, you are a soul that is inspiring my heart!
U mean a christian, please dont start foolish division. We are all in Christ. God bless....
@@trinitymatrix9719 what? Divison? O Lord! I live in estern europa, and we do not understand your meaning of division! No Ortadox would ever be hurting by me interdising myself as a catholic! he would know we are braders and sisters!
The rosary saved my life
“Obligation to be useless”. Knowing how much Bishop Barron works and is probably tempted to be a work a holic, this was so encouraging to me. I also pray out on my porch. Rain or shine.
yes, i love that he said this. ❤
Hi Tammy, I am loving this wonderful conversation. I am a counselling psychologist from Ireland. More please, we need you and Bishop Barron getting so real like this. I am going to share this with so many people. Thank you to yourself and this great bishop. He keeps me going in my faith. I actually needed to hear this conversation today.
God bless you Tammy. I will pray for you.
I really like this gentle, compassionate and conversational style of teaching Bishop Barron here. Taking from her lead, very gracious. Responding to this lady's soft spokeness. Teaching but also attentive and respectful. Beautiful ❤
I have the same impression ❤. Thank you Tammy for inviting Bishop Barron.
He is a master at reading people and adjusting to situations
Dear Tammy, sister in Christ,
I feel touched in my heart. It's so deep. Beyond words.
Tammy I have just come back to the Catholic after a 32 year break.
I recently caught you and Jordan talking about praying the rosary and was really blown away.
When people ask why I believe the answer is so simple: Because I've seen evidence.
Rock on
My fellow 'revert'
I was away from the Church for almost 15 years and returned just this past February. I believe the Lord brought me back through the Blessed Mother and the rosary.
Let's keep going and grow in love and faith!
I love this interview. It energizes my own prayer life, by reminding me about the astonishing beauty of communication with the Almighty Creator, Father of my soul.
I met Bishop Barron in Rochester Minnesota in August 2023 at Mass. I approached him and he said he would pray for my struggling adult son. His words gave me great comfort.
I am so happy that you became Catholic dear Tammy, you are Lords blessing to the whole world! May God bless you, dear Jordan and your whole family! Much love to you!
I think Bishop Barron and I came of age at the same time in the late 70's and 80's. I stayed away from the rosary because it brought back the memories of kneeling forever in church in grammar school wishing it would end. This lent, I thought I will add the rosary to my routine, and with the help of Bishop Barrons youtube clips on the mysteries of the rosary, I'm loving it. I get towards the end and actually want to go on and on.
And The Stations of The Cross. Something about bishop’s voice, I felt like I was in pilgrimage. Thank God for bishop Baron. I don’t know if it’s right to pray for copies of him. The Catholic and non-Catholic worlds needs him.
This was a beautiful conversation Tammy. The pure sense of peace you’ve found in God truly radiates out of you in this video.
I'm Irish too and grew up saying the Rosary in 11 mins my whole childhood. My Mother met a beautiful nun when she was very poorly in hospital who did exactly the same for my Mother,getting her to talk and cry between decades....A powerful emotional cure
I'm listening from Heiligenkreuz, Austria, and I love this podcast. I'm not much of a writer, but I sit down with a notebook and keep writing down quotes. Thank you so much dear Tammy Peterson. God bless you and your family! Frohen Advent!
Beloved Österreich! May the Lord bless her and call her inhabitants to himself.❤
Please your Grace Bishop Barron. Start a movement to put tabernacles back on the sanctuary. It and clergy only.
Let’s make the Churches sacred again. Surely that will help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am so over the top excited to see Tammy and Bishop Barron discussing the faith.
This makes me cry for joy. I have listened to Jordan for a long time because he’s searching for God.
And it’s interesting how suffering can do that which it did for Tammy. She has found Jesus!
She is a beautiful lady and I will now start watching her too, which is so wonderful.
We have beauty right in front of our eyes everybody.
We are watching souls being converted.
Please keep watching! God bless you!
👏🙏😍
There is no doubt about it, in these odd times, countless people are flocking to Christ. It is absolutely beautiful to see. We must all keep Christ in our hearts so that He can work through us to enter the hearts of others. No matter what you are going through, remain steadfast in your faith. God bless you all.
A beautiful chat as it is a Spiritual talk I love it thanks alot Tammy you are bless.for getting this opportunity to talk with a such Spiritual Person .Praise be to Our Lord Jesus
I pray the Rosary to. "Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did." - St. Maximillian Kolbe
You can definitely love her too much
May the Lord bless Tammy with renewed health and strength, thanks be to God.
I loved listening to Tammy and Bishop Barron. What a beautiful interview.
May God continue to bless you and your family, Mrs. Peterson. I'm so happy you're on the path to the true Church of Christ. I pray your husband (and all your family) follows you. Stay strong. We have entered a troubling time for the Church and Christians en masse.
May the Blessed Mother guide you, as well.
+ In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
I loved listening to Bishop Barron...one of the great Catholics on Board!! Thank you Jesus
For those suffering, whose faith is weak, and feel as though God has forgotten them… This podcast is for you.
You are NOT alone in your suffering.
The two books mentioned:
1) Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light
2) Saint John of the Cross: The Dark Night of the Soul
God has answered this prayer/psalm 14 so many times!! Over and over through the years
”Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. For your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.“
Psalms 143:1-12 NIV
bible.com/bible/111/psa.143.10.NIV
God bless you Mrs Peterson and your beautiful family. My husband and I are going through the 33 day retreat in preparation of the Marion Consecration. God continue to bless you and your family what gifts you have all offered ❤
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for sharing. Thank the bishop for me, for explaining the importance of prayer.
I was moved by this conversation between Bishop Barron and Tammy Peterson. I love Tammy‘s presence: authentic and vulnerable. She brought to mind my own feeling of being on fire with the love of God when I returned to the Catholic faith after a 50+ year hiatus. Bishop Barron was at the door welcoming me, and I could not get enough of his work. I will never forget hearing him say “God is creating you in every moment.”
I can identify with the enthusiasm Tammy exuded even to the point of finishing Bishop Barron’s sentences from time to time. Tammy’s story is remarkable and I’m sure will be an inspiration for many people.
I feel privileged to be living in the same time period with Bishop Barron. He is a remarkable gift of Grace. I pray for him daily. Thanks be to God
Tammy, you are an angel. Thank you for this blessing. I needed this today. May God Bless you all the days of your life.
I needed this today...also
What a beautiful soul of a lady. Intelligent yet humble, she exudes light. I'm going to pray that her cancer stays in remission for very selfish reasons--it will break my heart if she passes.
I love your story Tammy! Thank you for sharing
God bless you and your ministry
I pray for bishop Barron. A good man.
As a person who should probably be catholic I LIVE for these interactions! I adore Bishop Barron and Tammy is just beautiful to listen to. This is so nice❤
@maryradoy6256 - You should probably be a Catholic!
So let's do it! I pray that what is keeping you from taking the next step is calmed and you can move forward in peace.
@@bluecomb5376 thank you❤
Coming into the Catholic Church 13 years ago was indeed the best thing I’ve ever done! I pray it will be the same for you .
@@pjbgcb54 thank you
By the way Heiligenkreuz Monastery in Austria is a Cistercian Monastery with a longstanding connection to the Royal House of Habsburg. As Bishop Barron pointed out in his conversation with Mrs. Peterson, the Cistercians are reform of the Benedictines, and its most known Founding Member was St. Bernard of Clairvaux, who himself was a contemporary of Hildegard of Bingen.
That whole concept of 'uselessness' is undervalued. It proves to yourself that work is not all there is. The diametric opposite of the 'Protestant work ethic'.
Tammy is so humble, gentle n calm. She has this angelic trait. Female role model.
I love that woman ! Tammy is humble, sweet, has a soft voice, she loves to learn. The kind of woman I would like as a friend. I'm so thankful that God healed her cancer. I just want to say that I don't like the word "useless" because in fact praying is never useless. We can pray for persecuted Christians around the world, who are tortured, imprisoned, etc. Our prayers are always helpful with intention.💕
Such a beautiful conversation. Welcome to the Catholic faith. We love the Church.
I love your humility Tammy. Asking questions about words and concepts you do not know. It really helps us all.
Tammy, your conversations are heartfelt and genuine - what a beautiful channel!
May Our Lord continue to bless you with humility and honesty in truth.
🔥
♥️
Thank you Tammy and Bishop Barron. God bless you both.
☦️ Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. ☦️
This Bishop speaks the truth. We’re lucky to have him.
Glad to see you come to the Faith! Prayer has saved my life as I had my year of Job, as I call it. Not anywhere near his suffering, but the worst year of my life. Trust in God has been a blessing . My prayers were for the ability to endure and he gave it to me😄
What a delightful conversation. Lots of love from this Italian catholic. God bless you.
Congrats Tammy on your conversion and healing. Bishop Barron thanks so much for your words. That Psalm you mentioned I will look for as with what has happened to me physically and financially since July I feel kind of like Job! Thanks again
There are terrible things happening in the world but there are WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL things happening as well. People opening up to God. Wow! ❤
Tammy reminds me so much of my mother. What a wonderful, lovely, intelligent, determined and soft person. My mother had a bit of a miraculous cancer recovery that we attributed to her Catholic faith, which I hear is similar to Tammy's story.
My mother has since passed but it's nice to see another person of her type to some meaningful degree bringing goodness to people.
May her memory be a light to your family🙏💖🙏
❤🙏🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹🌹🌹Thank you so much Bishop Baron for the time you took for us to grow in faith deeper 👏🏻🙏
There are so many take aways from this beautiful conversation but I think what I absolutely love is Tammy's humility. She is like a humble student coming to a teacher to learn the wise ways of the master. Much like Paul's relationship with Timothy. It is beautiful to witness this journey Tammy, I pray that God continues to move and draw you more and more into his eternal spiring of everlasting life! Much love, from a Catholic seminarian. You and your husband are both sources of tremendous inspiration for me and you are both in my prayer.
Our awesome God uses many mysterious and tremendous ways to touch us and bring us back to HIM to live life with true meaning and true love 🙏🙏🙏
The prayer for others is one of the great gifts of our Faith. Like Heven and Earth come together in intersession
Tammy is just a wonderful lady. Her new found joy in our Lord and Saviour is such a beautiful thing to see. Welcome home my dear. God bless to you and all the Peterson’s!
Amen 🌄
Thank you, this was a wonderful class on Spiritual Direction. Thank you Bishop Barron and Tammy.
Wow! Great conversations. I feel you Tammy, your experience reflects what I have gone through too. And The Light shines through you. You just can see it. What a beautiful soul.
And humble but intellectually Bishop Barron gave me a lot of wisdom too. I Thank God so much for the both of you.
God bless you as you have blessed me, Tammy & Bishop B.
God bless you Tammy, and for bringing forward your husband to know Jesus. I am moved and touched by both of you.
Body and Blood of Christ! Actually! Glory be to Our Lord that is God with Us❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you both for this great interview. ❤️🙏😊
"Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do", was my favorite Hank Williams song when I was 3 years old! I still have the record with the purple crayon marking that my mother colored so I knew which side the song was on (so I was too young to read but I could put a record on a turntable and drop the needle)! This is true Catholic Spirituality, seeing God's glory in all things. What a wonderful conversation!
Tammy, God take care of you. You deserve it.
Thank you so much. This touched me in so many ways. Ave Maria!
What an AMAZING interview! I've never watched Tammy Peterson before. Also, Bishop Barron's description of "Jesus" as an Icon of the invisible & mystery of GOD is such a concrete vision to me of appreciating what GOD wants for the natural world. Also, his discussion of the "Hail Mary" is so enlightening & reassuring to me. I find his personal sharing @ the Rosary in his early years, interesting also, but now, important in his life. That vision of prayer for someone, is an idea that I heard @ when I was @ 8 yrs old, from a protestant missionary, Rev Dr. Frank Laubach, who wrote @ universal prayer. He has long gone to his glory. Your discussion @ Transubstantiation always inspires & reassures me. Thank you both, for that discussion. The reminder, frequently used, "Love casts out all fear". That practice of review of the day is such an important reminder. I appreciate Bishop Barron's listening to Ms. Peterson's details of illness. I imagine that is difficult for most males, & surely priests, to have to endure female details of living! Is GOD even interested (& in) the details??
Oh my gosh what a lovely chat it just brings so much PEACE to listen to this conversation, wish I was sitting there w a cup of coffee ☕️
Great to hear such deep beautiful reply in response to questions from a more recent convert.
Tammy is doing God's work 🙏
Thank you bishop barron
God bless you both.
Hail Mary full of Grace the Lord is with you,
Ave Maria. 🙏
I pray my 4 mysteries of the rosary following Bishop Baron . I meditate on each decade. Thank you
Behind every good man, is a great woman. Love this family❤
Irish Catholic here ❤️
