This is why Ps 119:71 is my favorite Bible verse: "It is good that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes." Thank you, Mother Natalia!
Don't believe everything you READ. 📖
Incidentally, are you VEGAN? 🌱
One of my favourite too. It's what happened to me and now I'm a Christian. I wouldn't of had it another way.

Well received! I am in the anger phase now, angry at God for not taking away my pain and not knowing where to go. I want those visible miracles that are shown to us in scripture. I don't see them and can only conclude like Job's friends that my faith is not real. My wife is suffering badly from Alzheimer's and I am so angry at myself and God for letting this happen. I pray to take away her infliction and pass it to me. I pray to take her from me and this world to stop her suffering. I feel so much guilt because I can't take away her pain and suffering. I know the long term is glorious. I just don't know if I can make it through these next months and maybe years. I am heartbroken and so angry. I feel so much guilt and resentment over everything present and past. My faith is on edge but I am trying to hold on. Your words were helpful. God Bless you!
I had 3 childhood friends die. It was tough times. Every single one was tragic. The last one I couldn’t stay at the funeral after I looked at him in the casket. I went to many funerals during this period of life. There’s no words we possess in the English language for the tragedy of it.
This reminds me of another story of healing. A woman came back to christ but ended up getting cancer. After much prayer, Jesus came to her and said her cancer was caused by the unforgiveness in her life. Once she learned to forgive the people she thought she never forgive the cancer resided. Gives us much to think about in our own lives. Praise be to Jesus Christ.
"Why don't you want your bride to be clean?"
Dear Lord...🥺. Talk about ripping your heart out.
Thank you Mthr Natalia!
I come back to this video by chance after months and I have to thank you so much because it is the perfect message for this day in my life. Thank you Mother Natalia, as always,,,
Thank you. ❤
Powerful. I am grateful for your videos. Grace and peace to you.
I was struggling with God not granting me a special desire of my heart when I stumbled across this video. Words cannot express my gratitude for your comforting words, Mother Natalia. God bless you❤
Thank you for sharing this powerful lesson
Thank you for this, Mthr Natalia. I'll be listening from now on!
Mthr. Natalia, thank you so much for sharing this video with us. You are truly giving away the gifts that God has given you by sharing this with us. God Bless!
I passed from a process of conversion... God really do Mercy , and we usually dont recognize it
Thank you for your vulnerability Mother
Beautiful encouragement, Mother Natalia. #GraciousBow
Yeah... I wanna buy this but I don't. If I pray ceaselessly to be delivered from something, I get nowhere. I ask for the intercession of specific saints, I get nowhere. I tell god I give up and hand over everything to him, I get nowhere. I want to buy this, but I can't.
I LOVE MTR NATALIA!!!
Very good! ❤❤❤
Well said.
So, what did the priest say in the rest of the homily? I hate when someone doesn't finish a story.
You must change your thumbnail for this clip. The dear sister looks insane.
❤
In some ways, it's how God calls us. If we have everything of this world, it would probably be harder for us to follow Christ.
Pray for me. I'm suffering. Not very gracefully either. I complain too much. Praise God
Praying for you! "Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest"
I'm going through an extremely difficult time right now, and this was exactly what I needed to hear. I would like to thank Mother Natalia for sharing this. I would also like to humbly request anyone who may be reading this keep me in your prayers. May God bless you all.
I'm praying that things are improving or if not the Lord is giving you the strength and wisdom you need to endure. God bless you
@@PaulTheHermit77Thank you so much and God Bless you.
I am currently wrestling with this topic moreso now than ever before in my life. My entire life, I have cared for my older sister who cannot walk or talk due to cerebral palsy and who also has the genetic issue called Marfan Syndrome. Now, I am losing her to the state system because I too have this Marfan Syndrome and now my body is failing severely. I have been incredibly angry with God saying "How can He possibly cause greater suffering for my sister when HER ENTIRE EXISTANCE ON THIS EARTH HAS BEEN SUFFERING.!?!?". I tried desperately to give her a little taste of life. To have a little fun and joy. To know why we breath. But now she may spend the rest of her existance laying in a room like a jail cell to rot alone and scared. WHY!?!?! I am dying, not of my physical issues, but spiritually because she does not deserve to suffer more. Not her. Me? Yes. But not her....
I'm so sorry. Praying for you. You are my hero because you cared for your sister when most wouldn't. Pray for me.
Jason you too are meant to have a deeper healing. Your sister has been mercy to you because how can you make sense of her life? This world right now tells you and me that a person like your sister can’t experience life yet you know it is possible. What a gift you have been given. If God as been so merciful to give you this gift then he has it all under control. Trust pray I will pray too.
Don't lose your faith, because she might not be able to experience this worlds pleasures but you both can experience eternal life in the presence od God. Just make sure she would have access to a priest and don't forget about your own salvation and we'll meet you there hopefully 😅
Praying for your sister and you
You sound like an intelligent person. Don’t lose faith. There HAS to be another way you can keep her with you.
Every time I listen to you, Mother Natalia, I am blessed. I'm not Catholic (Calvary Chapel) but your words are beautiful, and carry the scent of Heaven. Just wanted to say thanks.
Please consider coming into the Catholic Church for the salvation of your soul, I don't want any souls to face damnation for ignorance😥
@@traddydad1997ever heard of invincible ignorance? Not saying that the person shouldn’t convert but not being Catholic in and of itself(and I stress “in and of itself) isn’t reason for God to condemn someone. Read Vatican 2.
@traddydad1997 sorry but we cannot believe our beautiful God would "send" anyone to away from.Him simply because they were uneducated about Him....everyone who does good is going the woks of God as He says in Revelation ... I'm not a theologian but it God does see the good people do without even knowing Him....if anything ITS OUR fault the world does not know or WANT Christ or the Church... most of us are bad examples and don't even have a fruitful prayer life or relationship with God thus we cannot give it to others
Hello....i saw purple flower in my mind as i read your comment....then i saw your username was about flowers and knew God might be speaking and had something to share for you 🙌......so he showed me a purple flower alone in a wood i believe...wilting from the rain....a little sad,yet persistent and significant.......i knew the color of the flower was important.....purple is an important symbol of the seaon of Lent and of Christs royalty......"What is a Lenten penance? Practicing penance for 40 days during Lent is to accomplish something good in our lives and to remove obstacles to loving God with our whole heart.------ The Sacrament of Penance reconciles us with God.------ “The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God’s grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship” (CCC, no. 1468). Lenten penance is part of our pilgrimage.....www.acstechnologies.com/church-growth/lenten-penance-explained-what-is-lenten-penance/#:~:text=Practicing%20penance%20for%2040%20days,God%20with%20our%20whole%20heart here is the website.... God LOVES you VERY much...Go in God's grace towards Him 🙏 ♡♡♡♡♡
@@traddydad1997 You're very kind to say this. I disagree with you (and have a relationship with Jesus) but I want to thank you for *saying* something hard like this. I wish all of us could be as brave as you.
Your words were straight from the Holy Spirit. My wife and I were just scammed out of half of our life savings. I personally am trying to forgive and move on but it is hard. I have to believe our Lord is using this to transform us.
Thank you again for your testimony. May God bless you and keep you.
What I absolutely adore about Mthr. Natalia's presentations is just how natural it feels, and how it lacks the polish you normally see in online preaching. She pauses often while speaking, truly ruminating over the words she is forming. It is very authenticate and it is so impactful, more so than other people who preach with scripted eloquence, because is ostensibly coming from the heart. Thank you, Mthr. Natalia, for being so genuine and raw.
In the middle of postpartum depression and anxiety, finally pulled out the letter board I was gifted at a baby shower. It will serve as a great reminder now: “He’s acting in mercy”
God bless you! You can do this Mama 💗
Prayers for you. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength ❤
I recently had a similar experience. One things that helped me was when I heard the saying: "People do not understand how deeply God's mercy hugs us- his mercy holds us more tightly than a child in his mother's womb" ❤ I pray that you will know deep in your bones how true this is!
@@inedanap6253that's very deeply meaningful. Obviously A mother's love is not more than God who created mother. And father. Neither can comfort me and if both forsake me God will never forsake me I can cry but I feel better now amen glory to Christ!
Amen sister! I had a similar experience recently. I had been suffering with intermittant episodes of mild depression my whole young adult life without noticing much. Once I had my first child, that depression hit out of nowhere with such a deep force of darkness, such temptation to despair and self hatred/hatred of God that I was pleading with God every day for death, despite my objectively happy life circumstances.
After suffering this way for a few months, I recieved annointing of the sick and suddenly the things I had heard about divine mercy clicked into place, and I realized that I had a deep seated distrust of God from past trauma. Overnight (literally) my depression was lifted in a way that the doctor did not think was possible.
Since then, God has wonderfully allowed me to experience brief days where I relapse, but the strength of the trust he instilled in me on that day has sustained me more and more cheerfully with each time. Its like every time I suffer, I become stronger and happier and get to excercise my love for him more! Praise the God who lit my heart on fire ❤️🔥💕
*"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding"*
Praise the Lord ❤❤❤
Thank you. Just today I was feeling so sad and desperate, and was also angry at the Father and questioned why He would let me suffer in yet another way. Watching this video gave me a new perspective. I am blessed.
Mthr. Natalia brings up a very profound point about suffering and our tendency to see such painful experiences as evidence of a God who is either absent or lacking in compassion. Since our perspective, being finite and mortal, is limited, the suffering - however intolerable - may open us up to a greater reality. Yet our myopia is so great we are blinded to it. Its like a child who is angered because his dad let him fall when teaching him to ride a bike. However painful the scrapped knee was, the father letting go of the bike was neccessary so the child could learn balance and learn how to fall, thus avoid greater injury down the road. Thank you, Mthr. Natalia, for words that are not only consoling but wise.
Now apply this thinking to the Passion of Christ. Unlike us, Jesus had already been alive for eternity in Heaven. He knew he was going back to Heaven in a couple of days. So basically He had one bad weekend in a whole eternity.
Sounds like just coping and making excuses for God.
Thanks, Mother. Timely. Very timely for me. May the Lord richly bless you.
I’m currently 5 months postpartum with our first baby and facing great postpartum depression accompanied by a slew of other diagnoses and ailments. It’s been terribly difficult to want to sacrifice and to continue to suffer for my family and that’s given me great guilt…I’ve begged the Lord to take this all away so I could love and serve my family well. That Luke passage is actually my favorite Bible verse but I’ve been struggling with it since giving birth. All that to say, thank you Mother Natalia for your vulnerability and words. It’s given me a new perspective and direction in prayer! 🙏🏼 thank you!
My dad has stage 4 cancer and it’s been such an uphill battle these past few months. I can tell that my dad is beginning to accept how things are but is still staying positive through all this. My faith is keeping me strong but some days are harder than others. I needed to hear this. Thank you so much. 🙏
Wow, what a WORD. Thank you Mother Natalia ✝️🙏🏼❤️
I always say suffering is sanctifying- a quote I can never remember who to attribute it to. Thank you Mother Natalia for your talk. Pax Vobiscum!✝
Pray for the soul of that teen boy! And all the souls in purgatory!
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those within my own home, and within my family. Amen. (-St. Gertrude Prayer)
I want to Thank you Mother Natalia, my comment may not be noticed but I’ll do anything to help spread the video. It helped me so much and I can’t wait for it to help many more. Thank you
Yes, thanks Mother, but I'm not convinced.
Nope the first quote was right
This was very beautiful sister. I’m the father of two kids with a shitty condition and this word definitely helps. . Viva Cristo.
Amazing, its true sometimes we don't know if we asking to God to only take the shame away, but not what causes it.
I look forward to Mthr. Natalia's videos each week. God bless you all.
"That I may know you, in the power of your resurrection, in the fellowship of your suffering, to be made conformable to your death. "
Suffering is an opportunity to know God by His Son.
I feel like this message came at the perfect time for me. I have a similar story, though perhaps on a smaller scale.
I was raised Protestant, and not with the same ideals as Catholicism when it comes to birth control. While converting to Catholicism, I felt convicted and not surprisingly we got pregnant very soon after. I was having the worst pregnancy I had ever had in the first trimester. I felt SO sick and I was begging the Lord to "at least" make the pregnancy bearable as I was very stressed about not having the same control as I did before. I begged for Him to have mercy as I was doing the best I could to serve His will although I falter a lot.The pain wouldn't go away and I began to feel resentment towards God. Not resentment in that I was going to turn away from Him, but I was irritated and miserable. Then, over the past few days, I found out it was actually a milk allergy causing the extremely painful symptoms. I now feel much, much better. The symptoms, like Mthr. Natalia said in this video, was important in finding the root cause. God's mercies work in mysterious ways sometimes.
Whao im following u ever since. Thankyou. May God Bless u richly
I ask that whoever sees this could please pray for me. Thankyou Mother Natalia for the video.
Jesus won't let you fall...He's HOLDING into you...He sees a bright sunny yellow flower when He sees you 💛
That is Ezekiel. :) Let me explain. Christianity is a sequence of covenants. The fall is the "parent" covenant, Cain and Able is the "sibling" covenant, "Noah" is the "promiscuity covenant", Lot is the "uncleanness" covenant. And so on. The sequence is very dense. What the Evil One wants is a second chance. Except the War in Heaven came before Creation, and that was NOT a covenant. What we do is we populate this realm, which Satan wants for himself, and he's boundless in deception. Yet this realm was created for us and the Lord does not want this realm to go. That's about all we do here.
Thursday is not merciful.
What did Mother Natalia do to Thursday to deserve this thumbnail?!
I'll never forget John Piper preaching on Luke 11 and he said no good father will give you a snake if you ask for bread. But what if you ask for a snake?
"God is mercy, and God is compassion."
Isn't this the same God who allowed his people to keep slaves?
She looks a little strange and emotionally strained.
Hope she’s okay.
I don’t think it’s healthy to fetishise suffering. Suffering is not what brings us close to the lord, we are already close to him and he wants to lift us out of our suffering.
The Lord is gracious 🙏
Beautiful.
I fully identify with everything you said Mother Natalia.. except one thing.. i have no healing.. it is completely destructive ,yet He still doesnt say to me what He said to the leper
God bless you, mother Natalia.
Thank you for letting me start my morning with Christ. I have a job interview today, I pray he blesses me ❤
This is profoundly helpful and timely. Thank you for sharing this.
The on,y rings Jesus gives his brides are sufferings.
Love your content mother natalia!
You know I am unable to like this. It is what it is.
This video is such a blessing to me. Thank you, Mother Natalia.
Thank you, dear Mother! Your message today was so very personal to me, and I think that many, many others have been and will be deeply touched and enlightened.
Heal us of our leprosy oh Lord!!!
Thank you mother Natalia ❤
Thumbnail is intense
So good!
Thank you dear nun ❤
amen
I thank God for your testimony here and sage advice and for sharing such a deep understanding with us. It has been extremely edifying for me. God bless you! Thank you!
This was much appreciated, thank-you.
Lord have mercy and give us what we need, indeed
Thank you so much, Mthr. Natalia, I found your words so inspiring, full of the light and love of the Holy Spirit! These themes you chose to offer us are really a big deal for me - so basic but so important! Lifechanging for me, God bles you, mother! +
"The Holy Virgin insisted on the need for prayer. She said that the world is bad. It is necessary to pray, to pray, to pray a lot for this world that is bad, to pray for sinners, to pray for their conversion. She insisted a lot on the need for conversion: Convert to God! Convert to God! Convert to God! While saying that people don't respect God's commands, that people have a hard heart, she also asked us to meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary and to recite it every day. She also taught us the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows. She asked us to pray it every Tuesday and Friday. She asked us to obey the Church, to love God in truth, and to love our neighbor in humility and simplicity. She spoke of the need for mortification, a spirit of penitence and sacrifice. She also spoke of the need for suffering, to bear our sufferings every day. She said that *"no one enters heaven without suffering."* She also told us that acts of charity for the poor make us beautiful flowers that God likes. ~ excerpts from "Our Lady of Kibeho" words to: twenty-year-old Nathalie Mukamazimpaka in January 1982 in the very public setting of the school's courtyard; Kibeho, Rwanda, Africa and Vatican approved
Thank you so much for being so honest. Thank you so much for being so brave. Thank you so much! Thank you so much Jesus for speaking to our hearts through Mother Natalia
Thank you thank you thank you! I pray Lord Have Mercy so many times a day. I love that you say that it's just saying to God go do what you do in this persons life. It makes me feel like my mini prayers have meaning when I say them for others.
Wow, every time I listen to one of your videos it's right on time. I'm so thankful for you! And as a bonus you quoted our old priest, what a dynamic man he was. Archbishop Rya marched with MLK, was beaten by KKK, as he was being beaten he kept telling the men that he loved them, 30 years later one of them called him and asked for forgiveness and of course he gave it... there are so many stories...
Thank you for sharing your experience so beautifully and vulnerably. You nailed it with the leprosy analogy.
I just had this conversation with my Priest. I've struggled with misdiagnosis and even surgery on the wrong body parts. I'm currently bedridden after a recent bout on the table, and at this point I can barely stand it; either uniting my suffering so completely with His and offering it up or begging in tears to be able to stand and walk again, as I could just a few months ago. Well, that was a downer of a comment, so someone please just pray for me.
Thank you, God was leading me to listen to you tonight. Truly a blessing on my heart ❤ Mercy grace and compassion Amen 🙏🕊💜
It's like having an intimate conversation with you, thank you very much :)
I needed this video. Thank you Mother Natalia.
One of my Lenten Fasts is to refrain from liking or commenting on anything. I broke this fast today. ❤
I just listened to this on Apple Podcasts when I was out for a walk. So profound! God Bless you.
Divine Mercy in my soul Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.
My wife has been sick for months and doctors haven't been able to figure it out. 2 weeks ago I got so angry at God because I'm playing the roll of mommy and daddy, a care Giver and trying to enter the church but I need my marriage blessed but she can't walk out of the house. I don't know if I'm going to become Catholic this year, I have a few weeks left. Anyway, I started pointing both middle fingers to the sky and told him to just smite me. I feel horrible.
Wow that seems like a tough situation. God give them generous helpings of grace.
@MrPeach1 it's been so hard, I've had thoughts of suicide which I never have and I think I'm being attacked spirituality.
@@MikeyAGoGo101 you probably are. I have been lately also. And it’s a good thing because that means you’re drawing closer to God. I don’t worry about it but because I know God is with me and that Satan can’t touch me. I fall asleep saying the Jesus Prayer holding onto an icon of St. Sharbel. I repeat “Jesus I trust in you” over and over. You can do this. I’ve been ill for 17 years and every day I thank God for my husband and other men like you who sacrificially love your families. May God pour out His mercies on you as walk with him in these difficult days. I’ll pray for you.
@@frisco61 thank you
🙏
Just gotta say, the thumbnail is absolute perfection 👌
Praise God! Thank you Mother Natalia, just what I needed to hear!
Your love❤ and insight is a blessing to us all!
My belief is God ❤ Almighty takes the Good Ones and leaves the Strong Ones to carry on!🥳
So true and reading the spiritual writings of the saints is so wonderful as each one has the same struggles.
Thank you and God bless you Mother Natalia❤
You do beautiful work. God bless you!
Thank you Mother. God bless you.
She is such a gift!! Thanks Pints with Aquinas.
Wow this was something I think I needed to hear today
I just watched the interview where Mother Natalia talks about her love for Star Trek. I’d love to hear more “The Gospel according to Star Trek”. Maybe it could be a reoccurring segment on Pints.
I’ll start with these TNG suggestions;
“Measure of a man”
“Half a Life”
Also, what is your position on Janeway murdering Tuvix?
Excellent. Thank you. The title got me....
