Say the Rosary

Posted on by

October 5
“Say the Rosary, to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.”
 – Our Lady of Fatima to the children at Fatima
Today’s Reflection:
Our Lady of Fatima asked us to pray the rosary for peace in the world. Why is her message more relevant today than ever before? How does this enliven your commitment to praying the Rosary every day?

Francis of Assisi: Broker of Peace

Posted on by

by Theresa Cavicchio

Getting to know Saint Francis of Assisi (1182 – 1226 A.D.) is a fascinating exercise in discovery. As his feast day comes around each year, we can gain many fresh insights that take us beyond the widespread perception of Francis as merely a lover of creation — most notably, animals — and patron of ecology.

Meet the Team: Joanne Kane

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 Joanne Kane, the Assistant to our Director of Development. We hope you enjoy learning more about Joanne 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 have been a part of Living His Life Abundantly since 1998.  I started as a volunteer making outbound donation calls and very shortly thereafter joined the development team.  I have been traveling with Johnnette for about 15 years to speaking engagements, retreats, and conferences being the on-site coordinator and handling sales and all that entails.”

 

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

“What I love best about Women of Grace is being able to interact with women of all ages to help them understand their true calling as Women of Grace and daughters of God. Meeting women at events brings a greater fulfillment to what I have been called to do. When you can reach just one person and see the light shine in their eyes it is so rewarding and a confirmation of where I am supposed to be. And to be part of this sacred sisterhood is a blessing!“

 

3 What is your favorite devotion?

“The Anima Christi is my favorite prayer and of course the Rosary and Mass“

 

4 Who is your favorite saint?

“I have many go-to saints – St. Padre Pio, St. Theresa, St. Joseph, and of course St. Anthony who is always helping me find what is lost.”

 

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

“I would probably be tongue-tied at first and in awe! But asking Him where I have gone astray and how I can get on the right path and closer to Him and His mother.”

By way of the Rosary

“Mary took my weakness and gave me her strength; she took my fear and gave me her trust; she took my insecurity and gave me her confidence. And it all came by way of the Rosary.”
– Johnnette Benkovic Williams

Ask the Holy Spirit to shed light upon the areas of your life where you are fearful, insecure, or lacking trust. During your Rosary today, ask Our Lady to give you her strength, her trust, and her confidence.

Love the Madonna

Posted on by

October 1
“Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary,
 for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today.
All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.”
-St. Padre Pio
Today’s Reflection:
In light of St. Padre Pio’s message, pray about making the commitment to pray the rosary daily throughout the month of May to grow closer to Our Blessed Mother and in honor of the Centenary of the Fatima messages.
How will you respond?
