Episode 8: Easter Sunday

You have finally made it through the desert to the glory of the Resurrection. Alleluia! In this final video of Restore, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, reflects on what it truly means to be Catholic. She says it is not simply about fulfilling an obligation—such as attending Sunday Mass—but also about living a life that is fully joined to the heart of Christ. As Catholics we are called to model the life of Christ to others. How will you bring the generosity, mercy, and love of the Lord to others today?

In week four of Restore, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, reflects on almsgiving and how it heals your relationships with others.

Episode 4: Week Three: The Roots of Sin

In week three of Restore, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, explores the root of personal sin and reflects on a quote from Bob Schuchts of the John Paul II Healing Center, “Behind every disordered desire is a good and holy desire, an unmet need, an unhealed wound, and a hidden pattern of sin.” Sr. Miriam will help you open your heart to the Lord and let him go to the root of your sin—the why. It is here that the Lord wants to encounter you.
