It also happens to be true.
All of it.
PRAISE JESUS.
I love Mother Natalia! Through her, Jesus has opened my eyes to the Catholic Faith.
😍
When assessing virtues like love and compassion, it is always striking how the Christian conception of these ideas is far more profound, fortifying and moving than the way the secular world construes these ideas. The Christian view of love and compassion is rooted in self-sacrifice, the most prominent example being Christ's death on the cross as the embodiment of such self-sacrifice. Nothing in the secular world's version of love and compassion resonates as strongly or is as impactful as the Christian version of love and compassion. Thank you, Mthr. Natalia, for giving such a splendid commentary on this point.
The point of Jesus inflicting pain on Mary and John really struck me. I'd never thought of it that way before.
It struck me too. But did He inflict or did he allow? I’m not disagreeing because I truly don’t know. But this has caused me to want to dig deeper.
It sounds like allow! Compassion sounds like something we are allowed to experience, to help us grow!
Yes, God's permissive will allows the human freedom to make choices that will cause others and ourselves harm and pain. I teach my catechumens that one of the consequences of freedom is that if I choose to hurt you, you *will* get hurt. This is right at the beginning of Genesis: "You are free to eat..." etc. It's the defining thing God first says to humankind, and it's breathtaking the power for good or evil it allows. So for us to be free, we need to be free to choose "un-love" (sin) for both God and man. This means that everything else that comes from God in revelation has to make some kind of sense of the wildly dangerous freedom God made part of human nature. What is God's plan for when humans choose "un-love"? We need to watch all of scripture for the answer to the question of, "How does God rescue us from the consequences of our acts of un-love?" Watch for this in all of scripture and see the ultimate program outlined in the sacraments of the church, especially in John 20:22ff.
At 330AM. , i am overwhelmed in deep worry, and in pain of suffering alongside my daughter slipping from rehabilitation and the edge of recovery back to the evils and destruction of all her addictions to drugs, alcohol and a deeply abusive relationship filled with misery that is life threatening.and weakens her mental health. I found this episode by Gods grace and mercy, thank you Mother Natalia for sharing here, iIt is hard to hear but reminding me that through our suffering there is healing for my daughter and through my true compassion in truth and love with Jesus our Lord and Mary His mother, i am on the rigth path, i so needed to hear your words.
Mother Natalia you are an inspiration to the girls in our family. Thank you for sharing these insights. You're a blessing to the Church.
Thank you mother for sharing your gifts, your time and these spiritual words with us all. Cannot thank you enough 🙏🏻
Absolutely the best Mother, thank you.
You are a gift to our lives, Mother. Thank you
You are the reason I subscribed to this channel

The issue is: what does living as Jesus Christ 's disciples mean in the middle of the world? Is it about an effort or recognize a mysterious relationship with Jesus, where he choose loves us and now we have to decide: what do we do with that? It sounds as a long, hard but trustfully journey. Mother Natalia thanks for doing a piece of walk together
I love this video 🥺❤️🩹
Made me cry 😢
It's by pure grace that every talk you've done always hits the nail on the head for what my heart needs to hear. Thank you.
I'd really like a video of mother Natalia expanding on what it would be like to suffer with someone else instead of cheering them up.
I'm guilty of that, and I also know that many times I do this because I don't want my mood to be affected by someone's pain or I don't know how to handle that pain so I want to make it stop.
But what would it be like to show compassion? Sitting with them for however long they need? Offering an honest helping hand in dealing with the situation? Crying with them? All of the above and more?
Suffering and compassion brings awareness to freedom of Christian faith and brings healing. Healing is a shield and progress to protect
Thank you Mother Natalia for all of your teachings. I feel that the words self love have been translated incorrectly from St Maximus the Confessor and that it is self interest and not self love that blocks the fruits of compassion. It is important for us to love ourselves unconditionally as God loves us, so that we may love God and love others.✝️❤️
Good point, Mother.
Great talk. I'd observed that people project their own wounded child and then just defend and "thirst for justice" for that ego projection instead of seeing the truth - in all its human messy ugliness - in other people and actually choosing to care and do the right thing for them anyway.
ST. TERESA OF LISIEUX: “It is not because I have been preserved from serious sin that I lift up my heart to God in trust and love. I am certain that even if I had on my conscience every imaginable sin, I should lose nothing of my confidence, but would throw myself, my heart broken with sorrow, into the arms of my Savior.”
Thank you 🙏🏻
Recognising that we are always suffering in some way or another is the beginning of compassion towards each other. You can always tap that camouflaged, edge of pain by an encouraging word and give relief. Thank you Mother N. 🙏❤️
May our suffering lead to our resurrection. 🙏
These Mother Natalia mini episodes are so incredible. I have listened to each episode several times. I enjoy when she’s interviewed or with someone else but when it’s just her speaking, she brings a heavenly calm to me.
From what I am seeing in the vids of Mother N, I am getting the hunch that she was in, or was a witness to, some sort of really bad and evil event. Just trying to live with it is good. Making lemonade out of it shows class.
in German we also say „Mitleid“
Thank you for everything you do, Mother Natalia
These last few videos of yours, Mother Natalia, have changed my relationship with God for the better. Thank you so very much and may God’s Holy Face always be upon you.
I always love these - Mother Natalia's manner is otherworldly. God bless all involved in making them a reality.
What a beautiful episode. Thank you Mother Natalia.
Thank God for you. You have become an important part of starting my week!!
This was brilliant ❤ Thank you Mthr. Natalia
Add Z,*like Mary * as a qualfier to particular suffering. Without guidance we will deny suffering or take ourselves too seriously. The crowd of group pressure will always look for victims to bully and slander. Mary never once regretted her pain but submitted to the will of God.
Thanks, For the insight!!!
Thank you, Mother Natalia.
Our suffering can bring us closer to God.
Dear orthodox sister, you are a mission. ❤
Madre Natalia muchas gracias 🙏
Thank you! ❤
Mthr. Natalia has spoken of mercy and compassion. Can she also speak of justice?
Maybe she will now :)
Compassion is feeling what others feel.
Its all about to fulfill our nature in order to attain the super natural joy and beauty.
Christ fulfilled the law and thus the only way is to bear with him literally.
Man, that was something
What is an example of uncompromising the idea of beauty?
The bad will profit off of the suffering of others and to discover what causes the suffering then the bad can't play God and deny Christians the ability to heal
I never understood people blaming morning grumpiness on coffee. We are either annoyed, miserable or sad in the morning (angry too…)…but it never gives one a right to be a grump to others. Period. Dennis Prager always said being rude to others (bcuz of one’s own mood) is like forcing B.O. on them. I am more annoyed by people these days than ever before…but I never “share” it with others. I eat it & grit my teeth. Always have, so I hate people blaming their rotten mood on a drink.
Please pray for us who don’t do well treating others well when we are feeling down/grumpy/etc. 🙏 ❤
I have significantly backed off my caffeine intake as well (for Lent I switched to tea while at work, typically non-caffeinated). I have found that being better-hydrated is far more energizing that caffeine anyway! @@helloman1051
Hi, what do you mean by self love? I'm asking because one of my biggest recurring sins is self hatred and I try to work counter to it by remembering that God loves me and gave me my life as a gift and Idk I don't want to give God something that I don't love, and God loves Himself and us and we're supposed to imitate Him... and I also am recovering from a lot of mental illness, and it seems from everything my doctors are teaching me like self esteem is an important part of mental health and I know God created me to be healthy, and have healthy thoughts, and I believe that healthy human beings glorify God... I think the devil tries to convince me that God wants me broken. Self love kind of makes sense, like isn't it loving to God to love what He chose to give you? And give God what you love? I think it is the language that is confusing me. I don't think God wants me to stop trying to love myself but I think clarifying the language would really help me clarify how exactly God wants me to idk think I guess. It's so hard. Thanks, these videos are incredibly beautiful.
As someone who suffers (suffered?) from self-hatred, if I may impart a few tidbits of advice that helped me:
-To love is to will the good of the other.
-Humility is not achieved by thinking less of oneself, but by thinking of oneself less.
-(from C.S. Lewis) it's ok to seek approval from God like a dog or horse seeks approval from its master, or a child seeking praise from a parent. True humility is seldom modest.
What is she talking about with all the "annihilate self love". Is love of one's self a bad thing?
What does she mean by annihilate self love?
A good image that perhaps clarifies this issue is the love of a mother for her son or daughter. The mother, seeing her child suffering, prefers to take the pain upon herself rather than see the child’s suffer. Another image, perhaps rarer in today's world, is that of the husband who dies for his wife. In both the first and second examples, the death that the lover desires for himself in exchange for the death of the beloved is a source of life, not a cause of suffering. The lover rejoices in the consciousness of the beloved's immaculateness, and therefore, in this case, for the lover, death is like milk and honey.
To annihilate self-love is to take upon oneself the death of one's neighbor - if we understand that suffering is a type of death -; and it is by forgetting “oneself”, merging one’s being with the being of one’s neighbor, through the act of love - for isn’t this the reason for love, to unite (in the Being of God)? -, that the milk and honey will be tasted. Remember that whenever the lover takes upon himself the suffering of the beloved, he is drinking from the fountain of Paradise - and this is no exaggeration: it is the true Source of Life, I reiterate.
Mortifying oneself in love for God is like seeking the Spring of Life, the only one that can quench human thirst.
Your latin's great
thanks, but how can I love others if I dont love my self, or how am I suposed to distinguish good from evil if I dont love my self or how can I love Jesus If I dont love my slef or how can I do to others that wich I want others to do to me if I dont love my slef? Does God not love himself? Can I still enjoy Icecream?
Well no one would say that you’re not allowed to enjoy ice cream. Enjoying ice cream is only destructive when you over indulge in it. How are you defining “loving yourself”? Because there is a difference between self-indulgence and love and this is worth reflecting on. If you love yourself before loving Christ first then is Christ truly the center of your life or is he there in your life for your convenience? I think when Mthr. Natalia says to eliminate “self-love”, she’s not saying that you should stop taking proper care of yourself but rather to keep your intentions pure and to not be caught up in self-indulgence.
Always enjoy ice cream, as long as you can 😂
@@gentlemanbronco3246 look you just cant get rid of self love, otherwise there would be no insentive to loving others and you would not want to be saved if you just dont care what happens to you since you dont love your self. There is obviously nothing wrong with loving Christ much more than your self but you can only understand what is good to give and what is bad to give from what I want as a rightly formed person and I give that to Christ first and to all others second and the thing to give is Love and Truth and I want those things too from others and from Christ am I because of that a bad person?
@@gentlemanbronco3246 I want the highest Good for my self, I love the highest Good more than my self therefore I do what the highest Good wants over and above what I want seconderaly, (if what I want seconderaly is contrary to what the highest Good wants) and I want that for others too because the comandment of the highest Good is to love others as my self not more not less but as my self, if I love others more than my self then I am making an idol out of them, if I love them less then I am making an idol out of my self, therefore I love them as my self and try to give them what I want most for my self and that is the highest Good.
@@jokerguycz and again, Im not saying you cant love yourself it’s just that how are you defining loving yourself? Because there can be a conflation between caring for oneself and self-indulgence and that’s really what Im asking based on the questions posited.
🙏
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but each of these videos reveals a deficiency I have. Yikes
