Today's episode brings great inspiration for what it means to CLING to the heart of Jesus through Mary. Venerable Teresita is a powerful witness of unwavering devotion to Christ and how to be a vessel of light in the world. I want to give a huge thank you to Sister Cause of Our Joy of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará (AKA the Servidoras) for being my guest on the pod. Please pray for many more vocations to religious life through the intercession of Venerable Teresita!

Dead Friend, pray for us!
