Johnnette's Review of the Cabrini Movie
"St. Paul Vi summed it up well when he said, 'People listen more to witnesses today than to teachers, and if they listen to teachers at all, it is because they are witnesses.' Cabrini is a film shot through with the courage and strength of witness.
'Our Time is Now!' Women of Grace® Looks Forward to 20 More Years
What began in 2003 as an inspiration to help Catholic women discover the beauty of authentic femininity, Women of Grace® has grown over the last 20 years into one of the largest Catholic women's ministries in the Church today.
Star Wars or Heaven’s Plan?
Today is National Star Wars Day and many of the film’s fans will be offering the movie’s famous greeting, “May the force be with you,” or its pun for the day, “May the fourth be with you.” Judging by world conditions and the strife that abounds both at home and abroad, we could use some force and power to bring relief, order, and justice to our beleaguered globe.
Sharing the good news
As we journey through the final days of the Easter season together toward Pentecost, I want to express my gratitude for all of the good that you make possible through your support and prayers for our mission.
I’m reminded of my favorite passage in Sacred Scripture. If you’ve been to one of our Women of Grace events, then you’ve heard me proclaim it. The passage is Ephesians 1:3-4: “Praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed on us in Christ every spiritual blessing in the heavens. God chose us in Him before the world began to be holy and blameless in His sight, to be full of love.”
Prepare yourself for testing
Happy February to you and your family, the month when we celebrate love, marriage, and the Holy Family!
Thank you for your continued partnership in our mission to transform the world one woman at a time. I'm so grateful for you!
I have not stopped giving thanks for you.
Blessings in the New Year to you and your family!
Because of your generous prayers and financial support, Women of Grace came very close to achieving its year-end financial goal. We will begin 2022 in a position of strength.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Feast Day
In my reliquary, I have a first class relic of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first native-born American to be canonized. I find it appropriate that a woman was the first of our land to be lifted to the altar of Christ by Holy Mother Church. After all, our country and all of North America is dedicated to the woman: the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our special patroness is also the Blessed Mother under her name, Immaculate Conception.
