@@susank6122 I would have thought it would have stated up front there is a cost and $60 is too much for me. That's why I am wondering if they are offering it on youtube and we just need a link. (Hopeful thinking!) I don't want to spread sour apples, but if there is a way to watch these without paying that, I'd love to know. I was really looking forward to this.
Isn’t it absolutely amazing, to see Christ shine through someone? Can you imagine being in a world where Christ shines through every single one of us? 😍 I hope I live to see that! 😊🙏🏻
Forget your rockstars, movie stars or any celebrity, these two people are beyond all that. They are the Lord's brilliance in human form, it is almost like they are channeling His divine power & love.
That's a joy and such a blessing. Best adventure you will ever have in your life here on earth until the ultimate destination in heaven. Our forever home.❤
Wow, I’m coming back from a long relapse after a long time clean….its truly Grace that I’m even here trying! I am also feeling called to go to Church and just came across this vid. It’s beautiful and perfectly timed. I’d love to be called that way in terms of vocation, but I’m 59 and it’s past the option. I guess he’s got other plans for me!! God Bless, amazing that you have reached your destination in Christ. ❤
This is the most beautiful and accurate description of negative emotions and how to deal with them. I am not Catholic but I love listening to these two incredibly articulate and inspiring people
Jesus is your shepherd. He picks up his wilful wanderers and injured and sick. Psalm 23 He restores your soul. ‘Going through the shadow of the valley of death I will not fear, for You are with me’ 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
32:00 Wow “the heart that offers itself to the Holy Spirit, turns injury into compassion and purifies the memory in transforming the hurt into intercession” That’s awesome.
What a perfect message for me. I've struggled for years, even decades, to forgive my husband's infidelity. I have reached the point where I am able to feel compassion for him despite the fact that some degree of pain and lack of trust remain. God's not done with me yet.
The same thing happened to me. It's horrible. This message is wonderful it can help us on our forgiveness journeys. God bless you both on your journeys.❤
How blessed are we as a Church to have these 2 beautiful humans who loves Christ and are willing to share their hearts with us. Every time I hear them speak(together or separately), I walk away with a full heart and a confirmation that Jesus does indeed love me. Even in my brokenness. Thank you Fr. Mike and Sister Miriam.
Sr. Miriam is amazing! She has unknowingly helped me deeply with healing, and my relationship with Jesus. When she says she doesn't want anything between her and Jesus, I feel that.
I mean this in the BEST way possible: I always fall asleep listening to Sr. Miriam. Im filled with so much peace, the anxiety and insomnia just disappear. You’re such a gift!!!
I fear Advent a lot lately. For many years my wife and I have tried to pray the St. Andrew novena during Advent to ask the Lord to give us a child but we either fail to finish it or are too disheartened from prior failures to even start. Please, in your mercy, pray for our growth in faith this Advent and that God will make our marriage fruitful.
Also just to encourage you, a marriage can be fruitful without children as well. It's not children that make the marriage fruitful. I do hope and pray God blesses you and your wife with children. But please remember that your marriage can be fruitful without them. In fact the Lord calls each and one of us to be fruitful. :) God bless.
been listening to this multiple times. Just lost my job as a result of deep self inflicted emotional trauma that had been built up for years and an inability to handle it so instead I just kept bottling up. In the last year I have become quite unstable and gone very self destructive paths. I hurt someone who tried to get clos because of this disorder in my emotions. I find every world here just resonates so well with how I am feeling right now. Thank you for guiding me through this difficult time. Have a wonderful Advent Season Bless
What I also love about this is that it's so real and genuine. No acting that everything is perfect because we are close to Jesus but that He knows and loves us the way we are. The truth that a lot in us may be broken and needs to be healed without the condemnation that we should have already fixed it by now. Also knowing that you're allowed to feel, but taking it to Jesus. I just love so much about this. God bless this channel and everyone involved. Praise be to our great and wonderful Lover of Mankind
Thanks to both of you - smashing the stereotypes of what I think many people still erroneously perceive Catholic Clergy generally to be. - Such an earthy and real conversation. Listening makes me feel secure like I occasionally did as a child again, sitting at the feet of adults I trusted...I'm almost 57.
Im a 4th year medical student interviewing for psychiatry residencies and a lot of what she said has been taught to me but without the christian context of it. Now the information feels so much more fuller especially within psychotherapy. I will be taking these gems and learning more!
I have gone through a family trauma that has been so incredibly painful and difficult to process, to get beyond it, to understand why it happened but listening to this today gives me hope that my heart will heal and I might feel love again.
My heart shouts for joy on this video. I have been trying to heal and forgive this year and alot of times I found myself lost, ending inblaming/hating the other person. With that said, it shows that I never really understand what forgiveness is. I am truly grateful for this.
Some of this feels like the both of you have been listening on my prayers and helps me double down on the path God seams to be leading me to. Thank you! I look forward to the Face to Face program!

Lord Jesus please grant me some hope . I feel so broken & unworthy. Forgive me for my faults & failures with my family & friends. Grant me the grace to forgive & be forgiven at this time in my life. The weight seems unbearable at times. Amen
I went to my first adoration two weeks ago. It was lovely and quiet. I read the catechism and tried to quiet my shrieking mind. My second one was last week. It was like nothing else. I used to go to the camp meetings and get hyped up for about 48 hours. And afterwards I'd feel so abandoned and left behind by Jesus. I knew i couldn't be good enough to keep God liking me, and eventually like everyone else, he'd abandon me. I sat there saying the rosary, not really looking at the monstrance and you guys say Jesus is there. And i started feeling like i was being watched. And then i looked at the host and it felt like Jesus was watching me, and He was making me ok.
@@iohannesfactotum I know how you feel. I’ve come to love adoration and to look forward to the next time I can get there before the last time has even finished 🥰 I’ll never be able to get enough quiet time with my love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to this discussion to hear You speak to me that I may understand God's healing work within me. Thank you Fr. Mike and Sr. Miriam James. God bless you. God bless the works of Ascension Presents🙏
For some reason it is easy for me to forgive others, but what I really struggle with is to forgive myself! I feel like I can’t seem to heal because i can’t forgive myself.
@OneGroovySaint I'm right there too..... If others can have mercy and compassion for us and my sins, I know Jesus does and has forgiven us , so why do we refuse to forgive ourselves?
I want to talk to my sister to tell her I've forgiven her for what she did to me in February of this year. I called her on her birthday (November 9) but she didn't pick up. I called her after 9 days. She didn't pick up. I offered a Mass for her on December 3 for Mama Mary to make her heart tender and accepting my words "I forgive you".
God's timing will be perfect. You may need to let Him do work in her. Offer her silence or lack of contact as a gift. Sometimes people pull out of our lives for years. Don't let Satan mess with you now. You try and you may not be successful in hearing from her.. You are faithful and have love for her and that may be all you can do. I wish you peace.
My two favorite Catholics. I have been listening to Father Mike for ten years now. I found Sister on UA-cam maybe two years ago. They have both given me so much hope and understanding. They have brought me closer to Jesus, challenged me to dip g deeper into my faith, be vulnerable and grow. God Bless these wonderful servants of God. I am so grateful for them ❤🙏🏼 May the Lord protect and keep them ❤️
Thank you Father Mike and Sister . I’ve been struggling with forgiveness . I say I do forgive but there have been things accumulating since years that I cannot truly ‘forget’ . Every mass service I attend has this feeling of not truly forgiven others before coming to church. I like how you’ll highlighted the fact about “not being a doormat”
Tears are running down as I listen to this sharing. Healing. Forgiveness. God’s mercy and unfathomable LOVE. I will be carrying this in my hearts, and unpacking it for a long time. Much love is sent to you both, and I will hold you in my prayers.
What a beautiful and powerful conversation and the incredible message to embark on the journey to our Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you Sr. Miriam and Father Mike and God Bless!
It's refreshing to hear a conversation between two people who are actively seeking truth and honesty. Their beauty and love is astonishing. Thank you two for this sharing your wonderful hearts. 🤍
I’m so grateful to have come across Ascension Presents. Your videos show on my UA-cam home page just in the right moments. And in general, I came across this channel in the best time of my life (which is the time I’ve been the most broken 💔). Thank you God, for sending us Father Mike Schmitz and Sister Miriam Heidland and thank you Holy Spirit, for inspiring these beautiful souls✨🫶🕊️✨Jesus rocks! ❤️😍
Wow!, I have struggled with deep hurts and unforgiveness for years. I can feel God reaching out to me through Sister and Fr. Mike. This is a video I need to listen to several times to capture all the richness. Thank you so very much!!💕🙏🙏🙏
I had the pleasure of meeting Sr Miriam James Heidland at the Missionaries of Charity Contemplative Convent in New Jersey...she is warm and gracious as she is in this video. Such a blessing to have met her.
It makes so much sense that grief is a direct result of feeling offended and not knowing how to truly forgive ..because it’s true the resentment is there and it comes back many times
It's beautiful to observe this moment's with Lord Jesus in heart. It's better to fill my body with righteousness then evil, world and my own things ❤ Love from other side Brother in christh.
If I could hug each of you, I would. Thank you! I praise God for you, Sister and for you, Father! May He pour an abundance of grace and blessings upon you both.
Thank you, Sister Miriam and Father Mike, not only for your many Yesses to the Lord and to the suffering you have gone through in being refined, but also for sharing so honestly with us. I feel less alone on the Way. It's easier to see that the things that cause me so much pain and confusion are actually redeemable; that Jesus can come into all of them and bring good from/through them. I also appreciated your definitions of forgiveness and of healing; they accord with real life (our brokenness & His grace), not some ideal life.
🕊️ You know it's a good fit when you feel at home. 💜 🕊️ With a breakdown comes a breakthrough. 🕊️ All of our reactions are a trauma response to our sorrowful mysteries. 🕊️ Steadfast authentic love heals all of our wounds. I crave radical intimacy with Jesus. Sigh... Amen. You know how you just meet people or see them and you know they're anointed? These 2 are a Godsend!
I think the reason why I need to continuously feel some pain from offenses committed against me is so I will be reminded to treat others more loving and more kindly because I know how others sins hurts me .. and if I didn’t keep some of this pain, I might become careless when dealing with others and dismiss my own actions or make excuses for myself.. the reminder of these pains reminds me to be gracious and say I’m sorry… we only have three things we can say : I’m sorry I forgive you I love you … Repeat often ……..
This is one of the best talks I’ve heard in a while. We all need healing. It’s so beautiful how the Church acknowledges that being hurt is very real and we cannot get through it alone. How blessed we are to have a Loving God who wants to heal and help us! Wonderful speakers as well ❤
Join Fr. Mike Schmitz this Advent in his new program FACE TO FACE, only available in the Ascension App: link.ascension-app.com/FY7OH8QkSOb

I agree.Excellent people and teaching. Helping me deal with an ongoing situation.
@@MaryKatherine-lo3cn. Same question. Not a good way to share if you have to pay. I’d be more inclined to donate if asked rather than be forced to pay

Wow 😮, these two people are more beautiful than all the Hollywood movie stars, models and rockstars combined
true 😅
These people helped lead me to the Catholic Church
.I love them both.

They are. They are such beautiful people. If you ever get to see them in person, do it. It is life changing.
I am just 17 minutes in and restarting this again because these words all hit so hard right now and I want to hear them again.
Yes! I will need to listen to this again and again. There’s so much good stuff in the video….
Im going to watch again and take notes!
It happened the same to me!
Yes, me too ❤ :0) the messages they give in this video are very strong :0
Same here each word sounds deep with knowledge and relatable
I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much watching a UA-cam video. This was incredibly moving for me, thank you so much.
I got sober 7 years ago and converted 3 years ago--Fr. Mike and Sr. Miriam, your talks helped me to get where I was going. 💜
Same
Congratulations.!

I came here hoping someone had captured those beautiful words… thank you. ❤
I don't fear death as much as I fear not doing everything I could possibly have done in my life not to hurt Jesus and to be with him when I die.🙏
Same here
How can I fear the seas with God at the helm of the ship?
I feel the same
Me too. And I grieve the times I have not cared for others as Jesus would want. I pray I’ve lead my children to Christ.

I understand your pain. Same thing happened to me. I now know there is only one true love and its from Jesus.
The same thing happened to me. It's horrible. This message is wonderful it can help us on our forgiveness journeys. God bless you both on your journeys.❤
You’re so much stronger than most ❤️ I can’t speak on God’s behalf, but I surely believe He must be so proud of you for that

I spent many years in therapy and 12 step. This is the best wisdom on inner healing I’ve ever heard.
Listen to this and then listen again. The truth and wisdom held here takes time to process. It is a treasure chest of healing.❤❤❤❤
I struggle with despair at my own sinful past and all my mistakes. But prayer has freed me. Ascension is a Blessingxxxx
Please don't, if you confessed it then don't go back. Pray rosary🙏
If u don't forgive yourself you are in the bondage that Jesus took for you in the cross. He took it.

I’m a total mess still. I hate what trauma and years of sin have caused. I’m really relying on grace but u still do what I don’t want to do.
For some reason it is easy for me to forgive others, but what I really struggle with is to forgive myself! I feel like I can’t seem to heal because i can’t forgive myself.
@OneGroovySaint I'm right there too.....
If others can have mercy and compassion for us and my sins, I know Jesus does and has forgiven us , so why do we refuse to forgive ourselves?

She may be afraid you just want to call to tell her how mad you still are. It may work to text her that you are not mad anymore and you still love her
A stunningly beautiful talk - I learned how I can begin to approach the trauma I brought on myself.
My two favorite Catholics. I have been listening to Father Mike for ten years now. I found Sister on UA-cam maybe two years ago. They have both given me so much hope and understanding. They have brought me closer to Jesus, challenged me to dip g deeper into my faith, be vulnerable and grow. God Bless these wonderful servants of God. I am so grateful for them ❤🙏🏼 May the Lord protect and keep them ❤️
Thank you,

May you have a most blessed Thanksgiving, Sr Miriam, and Fr Mike. Claire.
Praise the Lord!! 😊 Thank you both for being so vulnerable & sharing your ❤s w/ us to inspire us to give our wounds to the Lord!
This is a lifelong process. Will listen to this video to keep me on track.
I can't believe this Baptist girl just sat and listened to almost an hour of a Catholic podcast. There is so much truth and wisdom here.
It’s never too late to seek the full truth. Praying for you, sister. Christ wants us to be one with Him.
I have never seen a thumbnail filled with Serenity !! Definitely, looking forward for another episode.

It makes so much sense that grief is a direct result of feeling offended and not knowing how to truly forgive ..because it’s true the resentment is there and it comes back many times
Thank you Sr. Miriam and Fr. Mike. This was beautiful and inspiring
It's beautiful to observe this moment's with Lord Jesus in heart. It's better to fill my body with righteousness then evil, world and my own things ❤ Love from other side Brother in christh.
If I could hug each of you, I would. Thank you! I praise God for you, Sister and for you, Father! May He pour an abundance of grace and blessings upon you both.
Such a pure, holy and profound conversation. So powerful.
Thank you, Sister Miriam and Father Mike, not only for your many Yesses to the Lord and to the suffering you have gone through in being refined, but also for sharing so honestly with us. I feel less alone on the Way. It's easier to see that the things that cause me so much pain and confusion are actually redeemable; that Jesus can come into all of them and bring good from/through them.
I also appreciated your definitions of forgiveness and of healing; they accord with real life (our brokenness & His grace), not some ideal life.
Thank you, Fr. Mike and Sr. Miriam
Thank you both for this marvelous talk on forgiveness.
🕊️ You know it's a good fit when you feel at home. 💜
🕊️ With a breakdown comes a breakthrough.
🕊️ All of our reactions are a trauma response to our sorrowful mysteries.
🕊️ Steadfast authentic love heals all of our wounds.
I crave radical intimacy with Jesus. Sigh... Amen. You know how you just meet people or see them and you know they're anointed? These 2 are a Godsend!
I think the reason why I need to continuously feel some pain from offenses committed against me is so I will be reminded to treat others more loving and more kindly because I know how others sins hurts me .. and if I didn’t keep some of this pain, I might become careless when dealing with others and dismiss my own actions or make excuses for myself.. the reminder of these pains reminds me to be gracious and say I’m sorry… we only have three things we can say :
I’m sorry
I forgive you
I love you …
Repeat often ……..
This is one of the best talks I’ve heard in a while. We all need healing. It’s so beautiful how the Church acknowledges that being hurt is very real and we cannot get through it alone. How blessed we are to have a Loving God who wants to heal and help us! Wonderful speakers as well ❤
