15:40 ''You are not an orphan. You have a father and He sent Me. I give you my mother as your mother. You have a home and a family... the Church. You are accepted!'' I love this part. This video is one of the reasons I came back to the Church. After my mother passed away I struggled with my faith. This talk from Sr Bethany Madonna showed me that I am never alone and that no matter what happens or wherever I go, that I have a family in the Church.

St. Theresa after her mom passed away when she was 5. She adopted Mom Mary as her mother

[@lisaweidenbenner5295]

God Bless you!

[@dianacarolinasantacruzruiz8725]

Did she really say that? 🥺💛 I'm struggling to recover trust in many people, and suddenly I see this...it's no coincidence 🤧 I'm gonna watch the full video later 💜

[@beliciamathias]

Yes we are your family.. ❤❤

[@stephenjohnson3163]

I like how you can hear the echoes when she stops talking because it makes me realize that that echo is like her words (or God's word through her), echoing throughout the world.

[@Peter-kl8jg]

Praise the Lord for giving us such an incredible woman. Thank you Sr Bethany.

[@jessdymphna7615]

I cried and laughed for the whole video. it is so touching

[@jennycornwell2324]

Me too and I have saved this to watch again when I need a reminder that Jesus loves me no matter what 🙏🏼♥️

[@Cosmiasprismdream]

Youre so beautiful sister inside and out. I want to thank God the father for blessing us with your loving words. It was inspiring and i felt my heart open wide and once again felt the love of my father. I love you all who have come here to this video God blessed his sons and daughters

[@UrsulaPainter]

Thank God for His graces which He sends us in most unlikely individuals!

[@lindaruss3772]

I'm a 68 yr. Old adopted at birth. This lecture describes me to a t. Thanks sweet sister, I didn't know about Orphan Spirit. 😢 great talk!

[@AndrewKendall71]

Even with a gread dad, as a man who lost his mom at 11, I needed to hear and recognize a need to be free from that "orphan spirit," particularly regarding how I see God.

[@2012loveyourself]

Why am i crying right now?? Thank you for this talk.

[@homethatilove4595]

Myriam Bamba as Sister Bethany says, " you're the only one who can love God with the love of your heart. Be Blessed 🤗

[@tinthacradi3555]

Because God is entering your heart! Amen

[@lindsaybliss857]

Why are there even ANY dislikes? Sr. Bethany Madonna is my new favorite speaker: so engaging, genuine, and humorous.

[@jupiterinaries6150]

Probably disliked by American converts to Orthodoxy and hated by the SSPX schismatics.

[@denisonyemachi2015]

Wow. really nice sense of humor. Reminds me of Bishop Fulton Sheen.

[@TheTommy3328]

Denis Onyemachi Perhaps in Sister we have the next Fulton Sheen?

[@matthewprabowo9627]

Inspiring...so blessed knowing Jesus n' becoming Catholic....

[@bobbypatek6384]

Thank you sister. I listen to this talk right before adoration. And really wants me to give thanks to our Lord

[@daveyork0]

I had no idea about nuns until I saw The Sound of Music on TV. Then in 2008 I was in the city of Sydney so I walked on down to the park to see what was going down with World Youth Day. I met religious workers and I saw relics and a casket containing the remains of a saint who died in the 1920s in Italy. If people ask my religion I state 'Church of England', which is mainly a statement of my ethnicity. Samesex marriage is coming to Australia. That is my reading of the current campaign and postal vote. But the Catholic Church will still persist.

[@valeriemiller1286]

Thank you Sr. Bethany Madonna for your words of love, healing and encouragement. God has again come to me with the words he spoke through you. Thank you for being you. Praise God.

[@yordanosamanzghi2200]

Sister you are amazing. May God bless you and all religious people who serve others

[@SugarNanny]

What a gifted speaker. Thank you

[@frcgfd107]

Thank you for videoing this talk, there were times I felt like you were talking directly to me. This was an incredibly moving talk and thank you for sharing it! God Bless you!

[@anitastar1253]

Inspiring, beautiful true, thank-you Sr Bethany for sharing God's love with us

[@kathywiens9852]

She is such a blessing❣I'm amazed how 3 years after these happened they are "miraculously" finding me. Now I can share and bless others.

[@wmklmk]

Wow, sister! Such a powerful message delivered straight from the heart, and one that I'm certain will lead many to a closer relationship to God.

[@Kaizzmom]

God bless you sister. Thank you for this talk, it was very uplifting!

[@judithangelaespiritualpay1717]

So heartfelt. Thanks Sr Bethany for your witness, you were so effective to the crowd...Praying the Lord will continue using you as His mouthpiece. So glad to find nuns with a good sense of humor, grew up at a time when they were always strict (then realized much later on could be because they were school administrators who had to enforce discipline in campuses).

[@user-ui8qz2qb8n]

Thank you God for using Sr Bethany to bring your love to us. Appreciate you very much. Pray that you continue to bless guide and guard her. Pray that you continue to inspire her more to reach out for your GLORY

[@corinmiyuki4078]

[@HeedGodsWord]

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Tim 4:2-4 "Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" Malachi 2:17

[@husq48]

Some of us have gone too far, "sinned away our day of grace", as it were. Jesus and the writer of Hebrews even tells us that there are those whom God will never forgive.

[@nondeblah]

Not so.
