Picture Mary journeying right here to the site of the Visitation and her pondering how the one who created this beautiful hill country of Judea is dwelling within her womb! It was here in this hill country where Mary greeted Elizabeth, where the baby leaped in Elizabeth’s womb, and where Mary first prayed the Magnificat. In fact, at the church of the visitation built over this sacred site, they have the Magnificat translated in over 60 different languages! I love taking pilgrims here to pray the Magnificat at the very place where it was first spoken by Mary! Happy Feast of the Visitation!Image attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment

Great to have Beth & Fr. Mike Schmitz on my podcast this week, discussing True Fatherhood—the spiritual fatherhood of the priesthood and the fatherhood of a dad in the home. We also talked about How to Prepare for Marriage. This is the first episode in our 2-part series with Fr. Mike on the All Things Catholic podcast. Recorded at the Focus conference. So excited to have Beth & Father Mike on the show!

Currently reading The Good, The Messy, and the Beautiful. I'm glad the two of you purchased that laptop!

I listened this morning and it's so good! I've been married 22 years and I'm learning so much. I plan to share these episodes with my young adult children, both of whom have significant others. Thank you all for sharing! May God bless you in your respective vocations and ministries.

My husband and I listened to it today and took copious notes as we are getting ready to lead Pre-Cana in our parish! Loved it, and can’t wait for part 2!

GbU all abundantly!

You guys are so blessed with such a beauty in the middle !!! ⭐️♥️⭐️

Loved part 1. Learned so much about marriage even though I've been married for years. New perspective on the meaning of covenant.

All my favorites!

How do I access the podcast?

How can we hear this podcast?

Awesome

A Rose between…..

Waiting for part 2😊
