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?

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. How can I function within both at the same time? Is such a thing even possible?

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?

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?

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

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?
