Host: Johnnette Benkovic

If somebody comes at you with a knife and forces you to do something you don’t want to do, would you have the courage to stand up? What if that aggressor asks you to renounce Christ? Listener Jay says Scripture reminds us we turn the other cheek, but Christian persecutors are not going to back down unless we do something.

Elena Rodríguez sits in today for hostess Johnnette Benkovic to talk to guest Sue Brinkmann—staff researcher and journalist at www.womenofgrace.com . They ask listeners what should be the Christian response to persecution. Sue reports on a new video message from “the people of the Cross” to Islamic terrorist group ISIS, calling terrorist militants “our brothers” and inviting them to come with their bloodstained hands and lay down their weapons at the foot of the Cross because although their sins may be like scarlet, they will be washed white as snow.

Sue also reports about a Nigerian bishop who claims he had a vision of Christ affirming the way to free his country of Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram is to pray the Rosary. Among many other callers, Joseph suggests bishops everywhere should start a campaign for children in their diocese to pray the Rosary for persecuted Christians. At the end of this show, you will feel empowered to embrace your call to prayer and you will be a better person. Listen now to EWTN Radio’s “Women of Grace.”
