Here is Part 5 of my visits with Johnnette B. Williams on “Women of Grace” on EWTN. You can see it by clicking here.
Here’s a description of the episode:
“Have you ever considered that you may well be part of God’s plan in bringing restoration and hope to others, healing and new life?
And have you ever considered that perhaps your sufferings and trials are the means God uses to fill you with His divine life that you might be that font of mercy for another?
Well, it’s not just possible, it is plausible. And here to tell us how God has used her travail to be a source of grace for others is our guest, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle.”

Here is Part 4 of my visits with Johnnette B. Williams on her show “Women of Grace” on EWTN. You can see it by clicking here.
The description from the website is here:
“Do you recall the Via Dolorosa of Our Lord? That moment when He carried His cross through the streets of Jerusalem and up the hill to Calvary?
We can only imagine the intensity of the suffering He endured, the pain and travail that he experienced – physically, emotionally, psychologically, and yes, spiritually.
But notice something more. Jesus was not alone on His way of the Cross. God’s providence was in play and there were others who sojourned with Him to bring Him aid and relief, consolation and solace, encouragement and strength.
And so it is with us. The Father always provides for us in the midst of our suffering. And He sends others to assist us as well, to help us discover the beauty of the Cross. Guest Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle knows this to be true. And today she is going to tell us about it.”

Here is the description from the Women of Grace website:
“Woman’s greatest gift is the gift of herself. Through her feminine charisms of receptivity, trust, and surrender, she demonstrates fully her Christ-likeness in the world. Be she professional woman in the world, mother of a family of ten, or religious sister or nun, woman is called to be mother.”
Today, we will talk about this graced charism of the feminine person with our guest, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle.”
Here is Part 1 of my 5-part mini-series with Johnnette Benkovic Williams in discussing my memoir “The Kiss of Jesus” and the spiritual life, particularly the crosses in our life. You can click here to watch Part 1.
Here’s the description from the Women of Grace website:
“The common denominator of the human experience is suffering. We all experience it to greater or lesser degree, and if we haven’t experienced it yet, it is sure to come. After all, we live in a broken and fallen world surrounded by broken and fallen people.
So the question ought not to be. “Will I suffer?” We are assured of that. Rather the question ought to be, “What will I do when I suffer?” And the way we answer that question makes all the difference in the world.
This week’s guest on Women of Grace answered that question not once in her life, but many times over. And what she discovered was the cross, when embraced, holds abundant and beautiful treasures. In this 5 Part Women of Grace series, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle will share with us how to Discover the Beauty of the Cross.”
My visits with Johnnette B. Williams are airings this week on EWTN’s “Women of Grace” television.

I’ll be on EWTN’s Women of Grace all week discussing my Memoir: The Kiss of Jesus: How Mother Teresa and the Saints Helped Me to Discover the Beauty of the Cross (Ignatius Press).

I didn’t get a chance to mention that I am visiting on EWTN’s Women of Grace this week. Each day it airs at 11:00 AM ET and 11:30 PM ET. I hope you can tune in.
We are discussing my memoir The Kiss of Jesus and the twists and turns of my life and how they helped to shape my life.
I returned recently from a whirlwind trip to Lafayette, Louisiana. I spoke at a beautiful women’s retreat alongside Johnnette Benkovic. Graces were flowing indeed. It was wonderful meeting all of the lovely “thirsty” women. They were there to nourish their faith and to share with one another. I told them that I firmly believe that when women gather together at times like this–WATCH OUT!–because with God’s grace we have the power to change the world!
Just prior to that my visits on Women of Grace were aired on EWTN TV. You can see all five of them here for a limited time.
Here is a recent article in a Canadian newspaper with an interview of me expressing the importance of a mother’s mission. I will be speaking about a mother’s vocation in Toronto this week end. Please keep me in your prayers.
A recent article in the National Catholic Register highlighting my Lenten book is here.
Did you know that I make these Novena bracelets exclusively for the EWTN Religious Catalogue?
Have you seen my special bracelets fitting for any woman? They are a prayer aid and help to celebrate human life. Check out the various styles here.
I need to finish a few writing projects and prepare for my trip to Toronto. Please keep me in your prayers and now that you are in my prayers!
I was blessed to have visited with Johnnette Benkovic, host of EWTN’s Women of Grace television show. The shows aired this past week. In case you weren’t able to tune in due to some schedule changes with EWTN’s Pope Francis visit to Mexico coverage, here is a link in which you can view all five shows at your leisure.
I hope that you will enjoy the shows. I suggest you try to watch them soon while they are live on the website.
This week February 15-19 my visits with Johnnette Benkovic will air on EWTN TV.
This is the normal schedule: EWTN TV at 11 AM EST, Monday through Friday and re-airs each evening at 11:30 PM EST.
But, as I scrolled through the week’s schedule to tape them in advance, I noticed that the show will air tomorrow (Monday) at 10:00 AM ET, not at the normal 11:00 AM ET time. And I noticed that it might not air on Tuesday due to Pope Francis coverage. But, I am not totally sure. That could be just my area. Check it out on your cable.
Hopefully you will be able to tune in and see what Johnnete and I have to share with you. You might be surprised!
I haven’t had a chance to blog lately. I’ve had many things to report, but alas, no time in which to write them down. I’ll probably end up doing video blog posts – much better on my wrists (due to all of the typing I’m always doing and my joint pain). But then again, I’d have to put some make up on and get dressed up (at least a bit better than I am usually in my home office out here in the rural woods of Connecticut)!
Just kidding. I don’t really have to do that. You probably wouldn’t mind if I wasn’t dressed up and didn’t have make up on when delivering a message to you. After all, I am all about keeping it real. But, I think you know what I mean. The videoing requires some thinking and planning too. I’d also have to make sure that my office is clean! 😉 So, for now, I’ll simply type away and fill you in a little, at least.
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the EWTN television network in Irondale, Alabama. There I met with Johnnette Benkovic and we were together on the set and chatted while five shows were filmed on Women of Grace. They will air in the near future and I’ll keep you posted on that.
It was wonderful to see Johnnette again and to share about the crooked path in my life and my memoir The Kiss of Jesus. We discussed some pretty intense issues. These are issues that affect countless women all around the world. I am praying that these shows will impact women’s lives and even help them to heal from deep wounds or at least get them headed in the direction of healing. Please pray for the people who will watch the shows.
In other news, I’m working on some exciting things at the moment as I continue the fight against the four tick-borne diseases I have been plagued with.
I’ll be back to give you more updates when time allows but I need to get to some deadline writing work right now. May God bless you and keep you!
