Host: Johnnette Benkovic

Toward the end of the show, listener Mary calls in to tell her story of how she has recovered from gang rape, had her children and managed to keep her faith. What kept her on the right path? Johnnette Benkovic embraces her over the airwaves and pours sweet honey over her wounds—still open today—in the way of spiritual counseling and lifting her up in the faith. Johnnette starts the show with a pep talk about why you should open yourself more to the Holy Spirit.

Listener Joe calls in with concerns about a change in Church teaching regarding the homosexual lifestyle. Johnnette clarifies this for him and all of us who may be confused after reading secular news coverage of the international meeting of bishops—the Extraordinary Synod on the Family going on right now in the Vatican, as a preliminary meeting in preparation for next year’s Synod. Caller Kathy wants to know how to defend ourselves from current day events in the news to knock us off our state of grace. Johnnette has a key for Kathy to reach that fair balance. What role does temperance play in this? Listen here to EWTN Radio’s Women of Grace.
