Walk with Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, as she guides you through experiential prayers and exercises to bring your heart's familial wounds and defenses to the Holy Family.

Summary by:
Dr. Marcel Lanahan

Let the Holy Family be your light through Advent as you receive the healing power of Christ.

In this beautiful guided video series, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT—author of the bestselling book Loved As I Am and co-host of the Abiding Together Podcast — walks with you as you explore familial wounds with the help of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

There is a companion journal that features original artwork by Josiah Henley of Heart of IESVS.

Even though this is designed as an experience for Advent, this video series can be used and followed at any time through the year. Particularly interesting is Sr. Miriam's guidance on becoming aware of the heart's defenses.

Each week of Behold will focus on a different theme that you can connect to your life in a practical way:

Week one: Motherhood—Receive Mary as your mother and let her tender love soften your heart toward your earthly mother;

  • Great quote from Caryll Houselander and guided reflection on relationship with own mother and how that impacts our relationship with the Blessed Mother

Week two: Fatherhood—Adopt Joseph as your father and embrace his loving strength as you seek healing in your relationship with your own father;

Week three: Childhood—Become childlike with Jesus and remember the core of who you are as you release your inner joy and playfulness; and

Week four: Stable—Restore peace and unity in your family and regain hope.

Each day you will journey deeper into the meaning of Advent with a meditation, reflection questions, a prayer, and journaling space.
