Last weekend I had the great pleasure of being the keynote speaker at the Women of Wonder Conference in Cary, NC. There were 300 plus women in attendance from across the country and it was truly a grace-filled time in the Lord!
During the conference, I was interviewed by Billy Atwell of the Diocese of Raleigh. We discussed one of my absolute favorite topics, authentic femininity, and how God is using women to transform the world.
Thank you to the women of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and all who made this event a huge success. Here are some pictures that were shared with us by the local team.

Are you a fan of Jesus, but not a follower?
Do you hold anything back from Jesus?
Do you find Mass boring and you try going, but it’s still boring to you?
Do you like vampires or zombies or do you know a young person who does?
If you answered yes to one of these, oh boy do you need to listen to this show. Johnnette Benkovic invites Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers to talk about the impending meaning of new evangelization. Deacon Harold is the founder and director of Dynamic Deacon and a preacher on the go. Together, they share pearls of wisdom for us to get to know who Jesus really is. Going back to the Bible means finding your true masculinity and femininity and when you find who you really are, you can be all God is calling you to be. God’s grace is infinite for you. This show catches on fire so listen now and be inspired, affirmed and encouraged. It’s all here on EWTN Radio’s Women of Grace, Friday, May 2 at 11:00 a.m. EDT.

Dear Friends,
In addition to those suggested in our slideshow, following is a list of resources that I recommended on Women of Grace Live, Ash Wednesday, March 5. Each of these is structured in such a way that it is perfect for a daily devotional during this Holy Season of Lent. They also are great resources for increasing our life of faith and strengthening our interior life. My prayer is that you find them so useful, you continue to use them once this Holy Season is over. Most of them are available through EWTN Religious Cataglogue or on our website.
