Is there a movement lurking out there to shorten and limit our lives? You’ve heard of the right to life but as host Johnnette Benkovic says, it’s more like “the right to live!” On this special simulcast of Women of Grace, Johnnette brings on guests Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, S.T.L. and Bobby Schindler of the Terry Schiavo Life and Hope Network to talk about the real issues and the real answers about life at the end. Our show today goes in deep to show how far our culture has drifted from true love within the family, especially when a loved one most needs spiritual and physical care in a pressing end-of-life scenario.

Fr. Kirby warns us about the slippery slope in the phrase: “I want to die with dignity.” Listen to this in-depth teaching about the dignity of the human person not depending on what that person can do—but rather on the fact that they are a human person and nobody can take away that dignity. In a touching moment after hearing Bobby’s recount of his sister Terry’s death and holding back tears, Johnnette suggests to Bobby his sister Terry suffered so he could be a spokesman for life. Some of our listeners and viewers call in to ask about end-of-life issues, like Heidi asking about a living will. This is something you should prepare sooner than later. Be aware of what medical terminology really means to you when you may not be able to defend yourself any more. Here we love your life. Here, we empower you. Women of Grace, from EWTN Radio.
In the second half of the show, Luis calls in to give thanks to the Lord.  His wife is a blessing to him.  She is pregnant and Luis has to leave for a few months to train for a new job he believes is the Lord’s will for the family.  Luis says his wife is a woman of grace and he wants to pray with Johnnette for his wife.  Listen to Johnnette’s beautiful reflection, tying together what Luis has just shared with all of us and she shares a recommendation for Luis that could very well work for you, as well.  Listen here to find out what treasure awaits you.  We have more callers participate during the show.  Maybe one of those will be you?  Listen here and call us Monday-Friday at 1-800-585-9396 to be on EWTN Radio’s Women of Grace.
