Among Women ReadHER 

6.16.12

"O my mother, in your heart I placed all my anguish of my heart 

and it is there that I gain strength and courage."
Sainte Bernadette Personal Notebook p.28 

As you are reading this today, I am in Lourdes, praying for YOU. I'm praying for all the Among Women listeners and readers. See the Lourdes Grotto on a live TV link. There are not too many links below since I departed the States a few days ago. So, enjoy reading, and let us pray for one another. Thanks for coming by.

Called to Hope

By Emily Stimpson at her new column at National Catholic Register

A chunk of wisdom from a great writer for the single women who feel called to marriage, but still hoping. Don't miss this one, and share it around to those needing a loving reminder.

Don't Be Worry, Be Happy, Sing the Ave Maria
By Kathy Schiffer at her blog Seasons of Grace
What I love about Kathy's blog is her sweet news with a quirky twist. Don't miss the fun video at the end that includes Bobby Ferrin and a cast of thousands singing the Ave Maria.


The McDonaldization of Sex - Part 2
By Timothy Muldoon at his column at Patheos
A Catholic theologian, Tim always has compelling commentary on relationships between men and women, the family, and the ways of love. This is a series that we should pay attention to. Here's part 1.


Catholic Weekend podcast: The Pick of our Life
An SQPN podcast hosted by Captain Jeff Nielsen, Maria Johnson, with guests  Sarah Vabulas and Sarah Boyle.
On this episode, the crew is recording a show at the Eucharistic Congress in Atlanta (last weekend). Normally, at the end of program, they do a segment called "the pick of the week" in which the guest leave a link or a suggestion of something cool or Catholic that they like..... in the midst of this segment, something unexpectedly beautiful happens and derails it... but in a good way. The show is an hour long, but if you only have a few minutes to give to it, move the scrubber on the player and drop in at about 55:00 into the show... and listen.
