Lilies Among Thorns

I was never supposed to be born. In this video, I share my testimony as an abortion survivor and expose the spiritual warfare surrounding the unborn. From the ancient altars of Moloch to the modern influence of Baphomet, we explore why the enemy targets the most vulnerable and how the Mercy of God and the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe can break even the darkest bonds.If you believe we are in a time of intense spiritual battle, this video is for you. We discuss the reality of spiritual oppression, the power of deliverance, and the victory found in Christ.0:00 - Intro0:48 - The Contract: How My Life Was Scheduled for Sacrifice7:01 -  The Intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe8:10 - Breaking the Spirit of Moloch: How to Speak for the Unborn10:10 - Finding Healing in the Church12:52 - The Spirit of Rejection: Healing the Abortion Wound14:41 - The Power of Forgiveness: Breaking Generational Curses15:40 - The Final Account: How God Judges Our Life’s Choices17:13 - Outro#Catholic #Prolife #testimony

This isn’t CatholicThis video is a serious conversation about Mexican Catholic culture, cultural Catholicism, and the difference between authentic Catholic faith and practices rooted in superstition.Many Catholics grow up surrounded by devotion. Prayer, candles, saints, and deep love for Our Lady of Guadalupe. But at the same time, many are also exposed to beliefs like mal de ojo, limpias, tarot cards, zodiac signs, and other spiritual practices that are not part of Catholic teaching.So where is the line between faith and superstitionIn this video, I talk about Catholic teaching versus superstition, mal de ojo and evil eye beliefs, tarot cards, astrology and zodiac signs, limpias and folk spiritual practices, and devotion to saints like Saint Anthony of Padua.This is not about attacking Mexican culture. It is about understanding the truth, growing in faith, and recognizing what actually comes from God.If you are Catholic, grew up in Mexican culture, or are trying to understand your faith more deeply, this video is for you.What do you think Have you seen these practices in your own life or familyChapters0:00 - Intro0:33 - Vírgen De Guadalupe2:15 - Mexican Catholic culture and faith4:15 - Mal de Ojo7:07 - Faith vs superstition explained9:19 - Why this confusion matters11:50 - Outro#catholic #faith #virginmary

I used to think the Brown Scapular was just a tradition until I experienced what I can only describe as protection I cannot explain away. This is my true story.Today I share two deeply personal Catholic testimonies that I believe reveal the power of Our Lady’s intercession and Brown Scapular miracles in modern life.The first testimony involves a night when my drink was spiked and my safety was at risk. In that moment of vulnerability I believe the Blessed Virgin Mary protected me through the Brown Scapular and called me back to purity, prayer, and obedience as a daughter of God.The second testimony is about my father’s car accident involving his truck, an event that should have been fatal. What followed is a near death experience that I can only understand through faith, prayer, and the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.The Brown Scapular is a sacramental of the Catholic Church given through Our Lady of Mount Carmel as a sign of consecration, grace, and spiritual protection. This is not superstition. It is a true story and a testimony of God’s mercy working through Mary in real life.If you pray the Rosary, follow Catholic teachings, or are interested in Catholic miracles, Marian devotion, near death experience testimonies, or modern day faith stories, I hope this video strengthens your faith.Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/juliannarvivas/0:00 - Intro0:42 - Catholic Modesty and Authority Structure3:17 - My Drink Got Spiked9:30 - Brown Scapular Miracle15:36 - Why I Never Take This Off18:20 - OutroVIDEOS ABOUT THE BROWN SCAPULARThe Brown Scapular & St. Joseph : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8R6GWhf4PwThe Promises & Requirements : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm9sZmxY25kMiracles (Listen like a podcast) : https://youtu.be/s-x9o3rko18This video is a personal testimony shared in faith and reflection on Catholic devotion and the Brown Scapular.#catholic #prayer #faith

Coachella is one of the biggest festivals in the world but what is it really about?Beyond the music, the fashion, and the lights, there is something people rarely talk about. Why does Coachella feel the way it does and what do people experience after it is over?In this video we look at Coachella from a different perspective and question what modern festival culture is actually shaping in us.Is it just entertainment or something deeper? Is it worth it? Or should we invest our money into holy things?Fr.

In this video, I’m responding to a recent Girls Gone Bible episode and discussing some of the statements made during the conversation. This is a reaction and breakdown meant to look more closely at what was said and why it has sparked attention.Girls Gone Bible has become a popular Christian podcast, and many viewers engage with their episodes for encouragement, discussion, and perspectives on faith. In this video, I share my thoughts and reflections on parts of the episode and why they matter.This is not about attacking anyone, but about examining ideas, asking questions, and having a thoughtful discussion as viewers who care about truth, faith, and what is being presented publicly.Chapters:0:00 - Intro2:15 - What Communion Is6:42 - We Have to Talk About Christian Influencers8:56 - The Heresy of Niceness11:10 - Become Catholic12:50 - OutroBible Verses:Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

(John 6:55) And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.

What is truth? Where is the authority that Christ gave to His apostles? And why are so many people rediscovering the Catholic faith after years in non-denominational or Protestant churches?We also talk about the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Co-Redemptrix and Mother of God, and why Catholics honor her as the greatest example of obedience, purity, and spiritual motherhood.

A "Beck & Jade" relationship a few things left out : Our Lady of Fatima was an important part of the prayer process when praying for the restoration of my (Julie's relationship). I gifted him my missal with a third class relic of Our Lady of Fatima with the image of St.Jacinta with a note i had wrote for him a year before i saw him that i had under sleeping St.Joseph, part of the confidence i had was a child like joy that note read "Im giving you this because i'm confident it'll end up back with me under the same roof as me when i become your wife"When i met him we drove his mom back home, and she asked me to come in, and he said no, i think he had his mind made up then in that first hour after meeting me, he later apologized for not wanting me to go in, i really thought he must've thought i was ugly or my breath stank haha.He wasn't all that cold, at the end of the night of the wedding, (He had called me prior to my arrival saying it wasnt prudent for us to dance) so he never wanted to dance closely at the wedding, but when he drove me back to the hotel, he slow danced with me in the parking lot to a song he told me he wanted to dance with me 2 years earlier (little things i found romantic he remembered and didnt seem cold)I saw what i needed to see, God showed me and i blocked & unblocked his new girlfriend reason why is because sometimes i go back to my blocked list to check it & i dont want to go through it one day and i see her & him on a profile picture, id appreciate if she blocked me instead. I only ask God for my own sanity i never see a picture on my algorithm of him proposing or getting married. Ive seen enough.

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to surrender to God’s will when it doesn’t align with our own plans. Obedience isn’t easy when your desires feel so strong, but trusting God’s will over your own leads to peace, freedom, and deeper faith. We explore obedience in God’s will versus our own desires, how to surrender when God says no, and trusting God’s timing and plan for your life. We also discuss letting go of control, embracing spiritual humility, discernment, and seeking authentic spiritual direction for clarity. This episode touches on why birth control and cultural lies disconnect us from God’s design and how to find your true identity, purpose, and peace in Him. We also encourage you to seek authentic spiritual direction from Priests. If you’re struggling to trust God’s will in your dating life, marriage, career, or daily choices, this conversation will encourage you to let go of control and surrender completely to Him.Subscribe for more Catholic and Christian content on faith, femininity, and spiritual growth.Shop Sunshine's Rosaries by Angelica on Etsy : https://www.etsy.com/shop/sunshinerosaries/?etsrc=sdtInstagram Updates on Sunshine's Rosaries : https://www.instagram.com/sunshinerosaries/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D#Our Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/liliesamongthornspod/Julie's Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/juliannarvivas/Fran's Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/franccescasevilla/For More Ways to Connect And Stream Our Podcast : https://linktr.ee/liliesamongthornsTimecodes :0:00 - Intro2:04 - The Culture is Against God’s Will13:35 - From Secular to Practicing Catholic18:20 - A Letter to the Friends of the Cross19:37 - Surrendering to God’s No - Wrestling with God’s Will22:35 - God’s Perfect Will Over Control24:16 - Trust God’s Shepherds not Catholic Influencers29:55 - Seek Spiritual Direction and Obey The Church Not Regular Laymen32:35 - The Power of Confession Healing Mercy and True Freedom in God’s Grace35:14 - Outro

In this powerful episode of Lilies Among Thorns, Franccesca Sevilla opens up about her journey from being a Culture Catholic to rediscovering the beauty of the traditional Catholic faith. Raised in a lukewarm environment, she thought checking boxes was enough—Mass on Sundays, Catholic in name, but distant from the heart of Christ. Until everything changed.Hear how God pursued her through the chaos of modern life, how the Latin Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and a deep hunger for truth led her back home. Franccesca shares the raw truth of walking away from worldly comfort, healing from past wounds, and embracing a faith that’s not just cultural—but convicting, countercultural, and rooted in sacrifice.If you’ve ever wrestled with your identity as a Catholic woman, felt stuck in spiritual lukewarmness, or wanted more than surface-level faith—this episode is for you.Franccesca's WebsiteFitForHisGlory : https://fitforhisglory.la/Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liliesamongthornspod/?hl=enJulie's Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/juliannarvivas/?hl=enZeneth's Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/juliezeneth/?hl=enFor more ways to stream the podcast, and connect find details here: https://linktr.ee/liliesamongthornsTimecodes : 0:00 - Intro1:00 - Late Have I Loved You3:00 - Searching in protestant Churches but Found Him in the One True Faith6:45 - Finding the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) - A Return to True Reverence12:25 - Attack on The One True Faith : The Catholic Church Always Under Fire19:44 - Delaying Baptism is A Sin26:30 - Leaving the World for Christ34:33 - Our Obsession with Praying Novenas36:53 - Too Shy to Make Christ Centered Friends45:03 - Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saints, Our Lord...Our Faith Can Not be Mocked49:08 - All Eyes on The Catholic Church57:47 - Outro#catholicwomen #latinmass #howtobecomecatholic

In this episode of Lilies Among Thorns, we talk honestly about what it’s like to wait—without the filter. We share the quiet insecurities that rise when you feel hidden… the ache of wondering if God’s forgotten you… the doubt that creeps in when His timing doesn’t match your hope. And then there’s the comparison— Not just of who’s “moving forward,” but of beauty, worth, love, calling, purpose. When it seems like everyone else is seen, chosen, flourishing—and you’re still in the silence. This isn’t a pep talk. Not every episode ends on a high note. Sometimes, God invites us to stay in the ache. There are seasons of joy, but also seasons of sorrow—and even that is part of our purification. If you’re in a waiting season where everything feels uncertain… if comparison is stealing your peace… if you’re tired of pretending you’re okay—this episode is for you. We don’t have all the answers. We’re not here to fix it. We’re just here to be with you in it.Find us on instagram : @ liliesamongthornspod Julie's : @ JuliannrvivasZeneth's : @ juliezenethfor more ways to find us click here: https://linktr.ee/liliesamongthornsTimecodes :0:00 - Intro1:00 - Lilies Among Thorns3:26 - Hidden but held8:40 - Struggling with comparison15:27 - Cosmetic surgery & Catholic scrupulosity23:56 - Comparison in your hidden years27:10 - Still waiting after nine days, nine months... years31:55 - False humility & despair 33:50 - Catholic eldest daughter44:48 - The prodigals son's brother47:20 - Praise God when you're in limbo51:00 - Catholics don't know how to discern anymore54:30 - God sees you59:47 - Hard pill to swallow, your vocation is connected to your salvation1:02:26 - Sacred heart of Jesus, i trust in you1:07:39 - Outro#Catholic #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney
