Host: Johnnette Benkovic

Pope Francis gifts women in Paraguay with a heartfelt tribute. Later in the show, listener María calls in to share how powerful the Pope’s tribute is for women all over the world. She would know—as a woman born in Paraguay.

We recap the Pope’s pastoral visit to South America for you here on “Women of Grace.” Elena Rodríguez sits in for Johnnette Benkovic to talk to Sue Brinkmann, staff researcher and journalist at www.womenofgrace.com about the news stories of the week. Sue also reports about the HHS issuing final birth control mandate rules and about a petition to stop a blasphemous art exhibit.

You can take a stand and we tell you how. Listener Rick chimes in with an inspiring witness about married couples. Dr. Dennis calls in to remind us “Title X” has allowed free birth control for more than 45 years--since the Nixon administration. He knows because he is a physician. We have more listeners sharing their witness, their anxieties and how to work through them with the grace of God. Listen here to EWTN Radio’s “Women of Grace.”
