Meet the Team: Kate Mathis

Posted on by

It’s time to meet the team that makes Women of Grace the impactful apostolate that it is!
Today we’re featuring Kate Mathis, our Social Media Coordinator. We hope you enjoy learning more about Kate from her answers to the questions below. Stay tuned for regular “Meet the Team” features!

 

1 How long have you been on the Women of Grace team and how did you begin?

“I’ve been working with Women of Grace for about a year and a half. I started a business helping Catholic businesses and apostolates with their marketing efforts and Women of Grace was at the top of my list of dream apostolates to work with! I reached out to them and they’ve made me feel so welcomed.”

 

2 What do you love best about Women of Grace’s apostolate?

“I love that they don’t shy away from tough topics or water down the faith. Johnnette and the team live what they preach and they give everything to live for Christ. From an early age, I’ve loved that I could go to Women of Grace with my questions and get answers and resources I can trust. At our events, I’ve also seen firsthand how women are touched by Women of Grace in learning to live authentic femininity and aim high to become saints.“

 

3 What is your favorite devotion?

“My favorite devotion is praying something similar to the Liturgy of the Hours with the Magnificat publication. I also especially love adoration.“

 

4 Who is your favorite saint?

“My favorites saint sisters are St. Joan of Arc, St. Zélie Martin, St. Gianna Beretta Molla, St. Thérèse, St. Margaret Clithrow, and St. Elizabeth of the Visitation.”

 

5 If you could have lunch with Jesus today, what would you want to talk about?

“I’d want to talk about suffering and why God physically heals in some situations and not in others. And just to know if He’s proud of me!”

Recite the Rosary

Posted on by

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin….

Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.”
– Pope Pius XI

How can you ensure that you make time to pray the Rosary daily?

Life on earth is a warfare

Posted on by

October 10
“Recognize it or not, our life on earth is a warfare (see CCC, 409), and every day and age from the beginning of time tells the story of our combat with diabolic forces, a war between good and evil. This battle originated in the heavens before the dawn of humanity but was not confined there. It spilled onto the earth, placing all generations of humanity in a perpetual state of general quarters.”
 – Johnnette Benkovic Williams and Thomas K. Sullivan
Today’s Reflection:
How do I struggle with good and evil in my life? In what ways can I combat evil by prayer of the Rosary, fasting, and almsgiving?

The final confrontation

Posted on by

October 8
“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society, or wide circles of the Christian community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the Gospel and the anti-gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church must take up.”
 – Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II)
Today’s Reflection:
Why are many blind to the spiritual battle that is being waged around us? How can we help removing the scales?

“K,” a young woman, was recently liberated from being possessed, thanks be to God. But Satan suffers any defeat badly and is now trying to regain control. The formerly possessed need to be vigilant and live an exemplary life, not giving him an opening.

A Rosary Army for the Month of the Holy Rosary

Posted on by

“Give me an army praying the rosary and I will conquer the world.” – Pope Pius IX

Dear Rosary Crusaders, welcome to October, the month of the Holy Rosary!

It’s a month in which we rededicate ourselves to our prayer of the Rosary. Perhaps you are praying it for the first time. Or maybe you will begin praying it every day. Or you might be called to pray it more fervently than ever before through your participation in a Rosary group or campaign. Our Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother Mary will guide each of us in how we are to grow in our commitment to this powerful prayer.
