Hi Everybody! Checking in to let you know I’ve been busy in some other places, and I’m having fun — whether it’s giving a talk about the rosary to the Marist Mothers Prayer Group…
or sharing my writing around the web. I’m featured this week at Women In the New Evangelization with a piece about gratitude, and last week I shared my story at CatholicMom.com about venerating St. Maria Goretti’s relics on the Pilgrimage of Mercy. I have two sets of holy cards to give to readers, so I’m happy to announce that Maria at CatholicMom and Karen T. on my blog will both be receiving those holy cards soon.
Finally, I’m interviewed in episode #197 of Among Women with Pat Gohn. It’s so much fun to join Pat on the other side of the microphone. Pat is a dear friend and a long time collaborator, and most recently she blessed me by writing the foreword to my book, My Badass Book of Saints. We have a lovely conversation that explains the book title, the structure of the book, some of my favorite saints…and Pat gushes over my selfie with the Pope. Give it a listen!
[update!] You’ll want to enter Pat’s contest, too, as she celebrates her 200th show with some giveaways! My book is included in a great group of women!
Thanks for the link to Among Women! I always have so much fun with you! BTW, pretty bodacious blue scarf in that photo above! I love how it matches your rosary! What a happy looking group of gals!
Lovely gratitude article, Maria. Brought the tears of joy here! As a child Mom took my younger brother and me to a neighborhood Congregational church on Sundays. Whenever the choir rose up and sang the tears gushed forth. Never seemed to matter how long in between visits, I couldn’t hold them back. Even now, fifty-some years later. I’ve been told tears are a gift. A gift I’m grateful for.
Amen! I know they are a most precious gift indeed! Thanks for sharing a little bit about your childhood 🙂
Thanks, I will be back. No gloomy Saints for me either.
awesome! thanks for visiting.
