My Prayerfully Hoping & Expecting Novena Bracelet is on EWTN’s Religious Catalogue. I designed a Pro-Life “Bracelet For Life” exclusively for EWTN. You can learn about it and view the video right here. Just push the little marker to the 4:43 minute mark. It airs from the 4:43 mark to 7:31. Johnnette Benkovic displays the bracelet I designed for EWTN.
I hope you enjoy it!
I just discovered you Donna, on my wondering time between coming back from Poland to take the travel visa interview at USA Embassy in London to finally get the bus home. Wondered over to Westminster Cathedral, was “lucky” to participate in the mass and than spent nearly 3h at St. Pau’s book shop next to the Cathedral. Only to realise I better eat something before getting on another 5h journey back home, as if not for me it should be for the baby I carry in me. My attention was drawn to a corner behid the stairs designated to St. Mother Teresa who I seek after I’ve just read a book about St. Fr. Pio by a polish author and a sentence spoken by my brother in short reflection I had while with him, which was to do with Mother Teresa’s side I haven’t known about…
Well here I am, resting off all this traveling, reading, mental and fisical tiredness, going on your website, & finding out about your books, guidance and Novena Bracelets and the fact that you are based somwhere where my dad is in Connecticut – although state is size of a country in Europe, still a small world … I feel like statue of The Mother of God of Jazlowiec should go with your bracelets. Unusuall statue capturing vision of Mother of God, moment straight after Annunciation, contemplating a mistry of God and at the same time bowing thowards the fate of her children, crossing her hands on a chest to express nothing but to say ‘I love you’.
I haven’t read your books yet, less than a month from being 42, expecting a forth baby out of two living ones, in the place where I’m surrounded with people of little faith, of my own little faith, of still not knowing what God wants of me… I know I thirst….
Hello! It’s great to hear from you. I am just seeing your comment here. May God bless you in great abundance as you carry a baby in your womb–what a blessing! I do have many books on motherhood and many EWTN TV shows–some you can see on my website. Perhaps a book that you might want to start with, since you said you were drawn to Mother Teresa is my book “Mother Teresa and Me: Ten Years of Friendship.” I also think you might enjoy my memoir “The Kiss of Jesus: How Mother Teresa and the Saints Helped Me to Discover the Beauty of the Cross.” They are available on the “book” page of this website. You said you came back from Poland. Are you Polish? I am leading a pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal and Poland in September. There is information on that on this website too. I am very eager to go to Fatima and Poland. I have written two books on Our Lady of Fatima (this being the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima).
You said you are surrounded with people of little faith and not sure what God wants of you and that you “thirst.” By focusing on your family and your unborn baby and prayer, you will be just fine. Mother Teresa, after all always said, “Love begins at home.” May God bless you in great abundance. Stay close to Jesus and Mary!
