@@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
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.
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.
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.❤
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!!!
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’ 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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🙏
My two favorite Catholics. I have been listening to Father Mike for ten years now. I found Sister on RUclips 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”
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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 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 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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’m so grateful to have come across Ascension Presents. Your videos show on my RUclips 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...what Father said, "I dont need to be fixed to be ready". That hit me. I needed to hear that today. Struggling with perfectionism and fear and that was a healing statement. ❤
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
Beautiful & most excellent, delivered with wisdom gained through life experience & love for our LORD & for those of us who deeply desire to please Him above all! Thank you. Blessings this Thanksgiving & throughout the Christmas season.
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤
Oh I just love these two people so much! Sister Miriam does a beautiful recording of the consecration to Jesus through Mary on the Hallow app. Edit to add: Sr Miriam crying 😭 I’m in bits! Learnt so much from this episode and it flew by in what felt like a few minutes!
I have several uncles, cousins and aunts who are religious. Love comes in many forms. One of my uncles once told me this: "Just because I love you and want you to be Jesus' success story doesn't mean I have to be sir hugs-a-lot." ( For awhile, when I was growing up, I didn't understand that he was a teacher first and didn't adhere to spoiling any of his nieces or nephews that came to learn about Jesus from him. I actually thought that Adoration was a punishment initially. Then I learned that this uncle was fostering a personal growth with the Source of Love, which is God.) ❤❤❤ That statement really stuck with me. After every visit he would send me to Adoration for twice as long as we visited or longer. Adoration time is where I found I belong to Him above anyone else. Your stories and spiritual direction interaction are beautiful and I appreciate this post. Thank you Sister Miriam and Father Mike.

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

true 😅
These people helped lead me to the Catholic Church

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

They are. They are such beautiful people. If you ever get to see them in person, do it. It is life changing.
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. 💜

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
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.

Sr. Marriam is wonderful. She strives to live her mission honestly and openly.
Forgiveness is such a difficult topic, Lord bless me with the gift of forgiveness.
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.
Whoa got chills within the first minute! God Bless all at Ascension Presents and have a lovely Thanksgiving

Please, in your mercy, pray for our growth in faith this Advent and that God will make our marriage fruitful.
Prayers for your journey this advent ❤🙏🏼
Prayers for your success!
You marriage pleases God with or without children. You are not at fault. Look at the prayer through the lense of love for He loved you first
I pray for you but if it doesn’t happen give to to more unfortunate little babies ❤️❤️🙏🙏
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.

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.
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 ❤
Oh I just love these two people so much! Sister Miriam does a beautiful recording of the consecration to Jesus through Mary on the Hallow app.
Edit to add: Sr Miriam crying 😭 I’m in bits! Learnt so much from this episode and it flew by in what felt like a few minutes!
I have several uncles, cousins and aunts who are religious. Love comes in many forms. One of my uncles once told me this: "Just because I love you and want you to be Jesus' success story doesn't mean I have to be sir hugs-a-lot."
( For awhile, when I was growing up, I didn't understand that he was a teacher first and didn't adhere to spoiling any of his nieces or nephews that came to learn about Jesus from him. I actually thought that Adoration was a punishment initially. Then I learned that this uncle was fostering a personal growth with the Source of Love, which is God.)
❤❤❤ That statement really stuck with me. After every visit he would send me to Adoration for twice as long as we visited or longer. Adoration time is where I found I belong to Him above anyone else. Your stories and spiritual direction interaction are beautiful and I appreciate this post. Thank you Sister Miriam and Father Mike.
Amazing talk I needed to hear this ❤
Listening to this podcast today is the unique gift for my Repentance thank you Sister, thank you Father. ❤
