Host: Johnnette Benkovic

On Today’s WOMEN OF GRACE host Johnnette Benkovic talks about Shrove Tuesday- the day before Ash Wednesday. She tells about the tradition to finish food that will spoil before the Lenten fast. Johnnette shares that fasting is a gift if we praise God in our suffering. Our small sufferings can be baby steps to God. He will transform us into ‘new men” during Lent as we grow and arise for Easter. Andrea from Mexico called and wanted to know how to defend the virginity of Our Blessed Mother. Johnnette explains the Marion dogma. It is St. Gabriel who proclaims her to be” full of grace.” Veronica texted in and wanted to know, as a new Catholic, what is expected of her on Ash Wednesday.
