God Heals Stress with Maria Morera Johnson

The year Maria Morera Johnson turned 49 almost did her in.

Maria faced intense stress in every aspect of her life. The lowest point was when she had a stroke. 

“I was an absolute physical, emotional, and spiritual mess.”

Maria survived and went home carrying a lot in her heart to reflect on. She decided to attend a spiritual retreat at The Monastery of the Holy Spirit.

It was there that the Lord calmed her spirit. 

While Maria walked around the abbey grounds, she prayed the Rosary and sensed Our Blessed Mother holding her hand. Maria also experienced the Lord’s presence as she sat in the chapel. 

Maria’s time at the abbey transformed her spiritual life and affected her in every way. She started journaling her conversations with Jesus and continued for many years. It felt like her salvation. 

Be encouraged to deepen your spiritual life as you listen to this mini-retreat in a podcast from the “Women of Wisdom" series!
