God Heals Stress with Maria Morera Johnson
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!

Surrendering My Perfectionism with Colleen Carroll Campbell
Surrendering My Perfectionism with Colleen Carroll Campbell

Still reverberating in Colleen Carroll Campbell’s heart are an older mom’s words of wisdom from 15 years ago: “I don’t know if there is room for perfectionism in any other part of life, but I know this: there is no room for it in motherhood.”

Colleen had done her best to achieve flawlessness during her ambitious career, including a job as the American president’s speech writer.  But it wasn’t until hearing the wise mom’s words about motherhood that Colleen realized her own struggle with perfectionism.

God began changing Colleen that morning and continues to transform her to this day. While she strives to do her best for the greater glory of God, Colleen has learned to let go and trust she is in God’s hands.

And she has discovered that there is no better place to be. 

Listen to this inspiring “mini-retreat in a podcast” and allow yourself to surrender into the arms of Merciful Jesus, too.
