Johnnette Benkovic and guest Thomas K. Sullivan talk about the rosary…
From someone who grew up as a cradle Catholic, I found this video on the rosary simply enlightening. It taught me that the rosary is a lot more powerful than I have ever given it credit for and we should all take advantage of the prayer tool that God has given us. They shared a variety of stories that has proven the rosary to be victorious throughout time but what I found most fascinating was its origin. Apparently, the Romans mocked early Christians by forcing them to wear white robes and a crown of roses when they were put to death in the Coliseum. The Christians that had to clean up the remains, however, saw these crown of roses as something far greater- the relic of a martyr. They would use them to pray: One rose= a prayer. Knowing this story inspires me to pray the rosary more and dig deeper by reading their book, The Rosary: Your Weapon for Spiritual Warfare. Overall, you should watch this video and dig deeper as well because it is message of hope that can empower and bring us to action by sharing it and praying with it more during these trying times.

Last week, a woman named Sue called into our Women of Grace Live radio program to share that she's been struggling with depression for many years and that lately she's been struggling with suicidal thoughts. She's in treatment but she feels the treatment isn't helping. She is praying for a miracle.
Recently I welcomed guest Sue Ellen Browder, author of the book “Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women’s Movement” to talk about the hijacking and manipulation of woman in modern-day society.
The week of January 16th through January 20th, we will be featuring several special guests on the Women of Grace LIVE radio program. Please mark your calendars and be sure to tune in via EWTN!
Have you heard of the Eucharistic Miracle approved in Poland? What does it have to do with our day in time? What does it tell us about God's mercy? This is just what we discussed last week during a special Women of Grace Live radio program with our staff journalist, Sue Brinkmann, OCDS, to talk about a Eucharistic Miracle in Poland that was recently declared by the Catholic Church to be authentic.
It was my great pleasure to have Fr. Wade Menezes as my guest today on the Women of Grace Live radio program here at EWTN studios to discuss the Year of Mercy and the abundant graces Our Father God is be pouring out upon us during this Extraordinary Jubilee Year. I invite you to watch the recording below. Be sure to tune in next week for another broadcast with Fr. Wade in which we will delve deeper into the topic of mercy. Please be sure to watch and share this important message with your friends and loved ones.
I have been an apologist for Catholic Answers since 2003. When people find out how long I've been with Catholic Answers, they sometimes ask, "What is the most-asked question you receive?" That's easy: Can I go to this wedding? The question has been asked so often, in fact, that in 2007 I created a checklist for laypeople to use to decide for themselves if they could go to a particular wedding. In the years since, that checklist has become one of the most-viewed apologist Q&A's on the Catholic Answers Forums, with over 75,000 views.
