❤. I did this foolish and want to be back. Whole. I don’t want to be in tbe world as I started out in CHRIST TOO.

[@kerrigunn3561]

I love your videos so much Heather.. I had an abortion when I was a young girl.. I was raised in a household that wasn’t religious but have always been drawn to the Catholic faith.. I was married (not in a church) but when my sons were born, I wanted better for them so they were both baptised and confirmed in the Catholic faith.. we went to lessons when my last son was preparing for him confirmation and the priest told three story of the good shepherd and it gave me hope that perhaps there was hope for me. So I made an appointment to see the priest and I told him that I had had an abortion and I felt that all was lost as far as my soul was concerned.. he was so wonderful.. he did confession straight away.. I was crying so hard I could barely say any of the words but he lovingly guided me through it.. I have to say that my life changed that day.. I participated in the RCIA program and am not a catholic.. my next move is to get my marriage blessed within the church.. so thank you so much for making this video Heather..

As someone who was raised secular but is converting to Catholicism these were shocking but in an enlightening positive way that enabled me to change my life for the better through Christ.

Have you heard about the Rock of Las Lajas, this Sacred Rock reveals the real image of Mother Mary & Jesus The Rock of Las Lajas is housed within the National Basilica of Colombia 🇨🇴 John 19.27

[@Hillcountry_Catholic]

7:40 As a woman who has had an abortion I appreciate this so much from you. I’ve been a long time watcher and I have learned so much from you, but this really touched my heart. It’s been a years long journey for me to enter the Catholic Church, and I am still in process of full conversion. I am a former neopagan and I had an abortion, and Jesus still loves me. Mother Mary still prays with and for me. It was her who held my heart long enough for me to finally start healing enough to know I needed Jesus. I spend a lot of my time online trying to support pro life work, as I feel convicted it is part of my journey I must fulfill and offer as penance. God is merciful absolutely.

[@blessedfamily79]

Heather, while I am not a Catholic, I am a born-again Christian and I totally agree with everything that you said. We all have done things that are sinful because we are human, and we will continue to even though we try so hard not to. God is merciful and so loving. He sent his son to die for us so that we can live! And he didn't leave us. He's with us always to help us and to sustain us in the faith. Praise God now and forevermore! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh wow so am I . Can you tell me a lil about what you’re doing ? My pastor asked if I would do it with this other parishioner and I said yes however I’m not sure what I’m doing lol fathers Rob has no curriculum we just meet after mass and talk about gospel and anything else that pops up for about an hour .

I remember when Connie Sellecca and John Tesh were dating and they talked about how they were waiting until their wedding night to sleep together. I thought they were so brave for speaking about their convictions in public. And how beautiful that their faith in Jesus was.

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Thank you for this, dear friend!!! I will say with the first one - in 1981, I was an 18 year old Catholic who had never had a high school boyfriend and especially with everything in the culture around me, I felt like I was in some type of deprivation. The bad choices I made then (a) continue to impact my life today, and I'm 61 (b) certainly impacted my life in my twenties! (c) affected the next generations. And I was an active Catholic, including teen fellowship, but nothing like this was taught - in fact, I wasn't the only unmarried pregnant girl. SO MANY WOES COULD BE AVOIDED IF WE JUST HAD PRIESTS GET UP IN THE PULPIT AND NOT GIVE US THEOLOGY, NOT GIVE US CHICKEN SOUP, BUT POWERFUL, REFERENCED TEACHINGS LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!!

[@thatsfunny2051]

You had the misfortune of growing up and being formed in the Church of the 1970s. I'm 34, and still a virgin, but you know what? Maybe I wouldn't be if I hadn't grown up in the JPII era. Love and blessings to you

[@judyp.6753]

Absolutely and Amen!! I’m 60 and attended Catholic school from kindergarten to 12th grade. Premarital sex was known not to do but no one ever talked about WHY! I think it would’ve helped if we knew the heartache and ramifications of it. I also was surrounded during high school and college that women needed a career and their own money because if you did get married, you’d also probably get divorced! These were teachings from Catholic women!

It is so unfortunate that the most basic fundamentals of being Catholic are controversial. Thank you, especially as a woman in today's world, for sharing the truth. These rules are not to restrict us they are to set us free! We have all sinned but in order to heal we must repent and God is always waiting for us to turn around and follow him!

Well done on this video Heather! You speak the truth in love and with beautiful conviction. It's hard to believe that some people today don't know that sex before marriage is sinful. In the past everyone had heard of it but not everyone believed it. I think you're right...now people don't even know that people out there exist who don't believe in sex before marriage! I work in a Catholic shop and people come in to buy crucifixes for their walls (for example) and they say they have just moved in with their partner etc I'm always in shock but perhaps they just don't know! I need to gently tell them.

[@judybesta8042]

I am Catholic and had an abortion. I am not proud of it & honestly didn't think much of it for many years, until recently. I also have not been practicing the faith for many years. I cannot put my finger on exactly what happened, but I recently have been thinking a lot about contacting a priest & returning to the church. I have also been thinking about what I did and I am so ashamed. I feel that I am not good enough to be accepted back into the faith. I know that God is merciful and I am hopeful that I will be forgiven, but for whatever reason, I can't bring myself to talk to the priest. I have been praying at home daily. I've even learned how to say the Rosary for the first time in my life. I have been asking the Virgin Mary to help me to get the courage to go. I hope that she hears me and gives me the push that I need to just bite the bullet & do it. I watch Father Mike Schmitz, Father Dan Rehill, & Father Carlos Martins every day, for many hours. I'm looking for direction and spiritual guidance. They are all extremely motivational, but here I sit. Sundays come & go & for every one that does I feel worse and worse. I'm honestly not sure why I'm pouring out my soul to you. I guess I just needed to put it out there. I've been hiding it for a lot of years. Anyway, thanks for doing what you do, for people like me. I do appreciate it. God Bless.

[@satismith1872]

The priest will just be happy that you’re repentant and that you want to know, love, and serve God now. There’s a Catholic speaker/writer named Patricia Sandoval, I think. She had multiple abortions, became a drug user, worked in an abortion clinic but she managed to go back to the church and is inspirational to many Catholics now.

Every Catholic should have a copy of the Catechism and read it regularly. Put notes in the margins and ask Our Lord to open our hearts, minds and souls to the truth. Our daughter is a NICU nurse and she has been taking care of babies born at 24, 26, and 27 weeks. Life begins at conception and ends at natural death. MAID should never be an option. If someone has same sex attractions, it is a terrible cross to bear. But Our Heavenly Father is asking something of you, he is asking you to offer up your chastity to Him. Live each day for Him offering it up. You will be rewarded. Our Lord gives us all the graces we will need to get through our trials and tribulations. Remember He loves you and He has you in the palm of His hand. He will never forget His own.❤🙏🏼 Thank you for bravely spreading God’s message of His love and mercy. I so wish that this and much more catechesis occurred from the pulpit. All three of my grown children have complained they want more. Please pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood, religious life and Holy marriages. As well as an increase in those answering with a yes be truly dedicated to their calling. 🙏🏼+JMJ pray for us🙏🏼
