Mother Miriam Live - June 4, 2024 Continuing yesterday's conversion story from a former Protestant turned Catholic Is modernism the synthesis of all heresy? Is Pope Francis a modernist?

Mother's reaction to women pushing for structural changes in the church at the synod A very dear friend is in a gay relationship and getting "married" in Germany. We are invited. My husband says we should go to show support for our friend. There is a group traveling for several days together before the activity. I have agreed to go on the trip but refuse to go to the "ceremony" and party. We will watch the children for that night, but their dad is also Catholic. Does that make me complicit in his going?

Mother Miriam Live - June 3, 2024 A Catholic convert shares his story in a newsletter from The Coming Home Network International I have heard a lot about Eastern Catholic churches lately and their "Divine Liturgy." Is that something you would recommend a Catholic check out some time? I have heard many good things, and as I understand it, any Catholic can participate. I get the impression that this is still a better option than an irreverent Novus Ordo mass. Can a Catholic married man continue to maintain close relationships and friendships with women other than his wife? Navigating difficult and borderline abusive relationships For those of us holding firm to the teachings of the Church on human sexuality and the dignity of the human person, how can we guard ourselves against accusations of hatred and bigotry by those who subscribe to these modern gender ideologies? Also, how can I explain that having a belief about such issues does not in itself denote that someone is being "judgmental"? During World War Two, Hitler put Jews in the oven. Their crime: Being Jews. Someday, God will put Jews in the oven (Hell). Their sin: Being Jews (not becoming Christians). Hitler burned the Jews, God will burn the Jews. Your thoughts on this comparison, please?

Mother Miriam Live - May 29, 2024 Pope Urban IV and his declaration of Corpus Christi as a feast in the Latin church Advice for those who have lost hope in life What happens to a consecrated host, the Eucharist, if it is presented by a lay minister (Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist) or a deacon during communion, and not by the consecrated hands of a priest? I know you've said that such action is a desecration. What does that mean? Does the Eucharist cease to be the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord? Is it "nullified" or "lessened" somehow? Does the communicant commit a sin if he or she receives communion from one of these people? Can you recommend a homeschool program? What are the signs of the true church?

Mother Miriam Live - May 24, 2024 Spirituality for the imperfect and the end of Paschaltide Was Russia ever fully/properly consecrated as requested by Our Lady at Fatima? Do animals have souls? Do animals make it to heaven? I've heard this widely debated between Catholic and Protestants for some time now. How do you feel about the news that Blessed Carlo Acutis is set to soon be named the first "millennial saint?" Do you think this, in any way, could be an appeal to young Catholics to give them a saint that they might relate to more closely? A disturbing report about a "transgender monk" Do you have any upcoming speaking engagements? I know you probably aren't able to travel nearly as much as you once did, but I've always wanted to meet and hear you speak in person. Are ouija boards the "real deal?" Have you had any experiences with the demonic?

Mother Miriam Live - May 23, 2024 Dom Prosper Gueranger on Pentecost Do you recommend participation in the National Eucharistic Congress and the Pilgrimages leading up to it? My parishioner friend brought to my attention from our parish bulletin/website that our parish is invited to attend a Shabbat from a Jewish community. Please share your wisdom on this if it is ok for a Catholic to participate. I feel I'm under a great spiritual attack. What can I do? I feel torn between a Protestant church and the Catholic church.

Mother Miriam Live - May 13, 2024 Discussing the role of a Christian Mother in honor of Mother's Day A Muslim girl is going to convert to Catholicism on the 18th of May, but she is living with a man. She told me that they don't have any sexual relationship and she doesn't want the priest to know that she is living with a man; if the priest knows, he may not give her the sacraments. I humbly asked her to share her situation with her priest and make a true confession before she received the Holy Sacraments, but she got angry. What shall I do? Was the Blessed Mother bound by the old ceremonial law prior to the birth of Christ? And if she was, would it be possible for her to remain pure and also menstruate monthly as all other fertile women do? Or could it be that her first ovulation produced the egg that produced Jesus? Handling increasing anti-Semitism in the world, particularly the United States

Mother Miriam Live - May 3, 2024 The Teachings of St. Francis de Sales: Spirituality for the Imperfect I'm worried that my daughter's therapist may be encouraging her to live a same-sex lifestyle. Cam, or should, I do anything about that? And if so, how? How does one discern what God's will for their life is, particularly in a career? I find myself struggling with making a plan for my life while surrendering to God's will. How long should I wait for a response from a potential employer? How do we reconcile our frustration with Pope Francis with our obligation to follow and obey him? Could you explain why Abraham was allowed to have a concubine in addition to his wife Sarah? That doesn't seem to be right, but maybe the sacrament of marriage wasn't really defined yet? I'm a little confused about that whole part of the Old Testament. I pray the Rosary every day, but far too often I feel myself just reciting the prayers without really paying attention. Any tips or tricks? Tips to overcome scrupulosity

Mother Miriam Live - April 22, 2024 A Crisis Magazine article regarding Dignitas Infinita and the Idolization of Man For one who is struggling with severe anxiety, do you think it is better to pray on it and offer that up to the Lord, or to seek actual medical help and possibly medications? Is it true that the Bible never mentions a concrete obligation to attend Mass on Sundays? If so, how did the church land upon Sunday as the mandatory day for Mass attendance?

Mother Miriam Live - April 15, 2024 The strengths and weaknesses of Dignitas Infinita How should we react to a Catholic apologist's stating that Judas might not be in hell? Should I keep donating to my parish, which seems to already have an abundance of money coming in that may even be misused or wasted? Do you know of a good Catholic book from a saint or priest regarding holy marital intimacy that is pleasing to God? The number of faithful is rising, but the number of priestly vocations is lowering. Discussing this trend and what we can, or should, do about it Can we be encouraged by Pope Francis' recent speaking out against gender affirming surgeries, or is it all just a smoke screen? Should we be praying for Republican Presidential candidates like Donald Trump to speak out against things like abortion in their campaigns, even if it might have a negative affect on their polling numbers and ultimately lead to a Democratic candidate winning the election? If we were to do this, couldn't we ultimately be contributing to the re-expansion of abortion across the United States and therefore hurting our own cause in a roundabout way?

My ex-wife wants our young son to take the MMR vaccine, which I am against because it includes aborted fetal cells. What should I do? Is it unusual for Catholic churches to have full-body immersion Baptismal fonts with steps to walk right in? Is this maybe a regional thing? In images of Our Lady of Fatima (statues and portraits), she always seems to have her head tilting to the left. Is that intentional for any reason? When praying the First Five Fridays/Saturdays Devotion(s), if I miss one of the days, must I then start over from the very beginning?

Mother Miriam Live - April 10, 2024 Unpacking the new Vatican document Dignitas Infinita Am I able to offer my Nine First Fridays to the Sacred Heart for final repentance of a living member of my family?
