Today's special guest is Lisa's husband Michael!  The episode begins with a brief history of how they met, followed by a discussion of why Divine Mercy is so needed in our world today!  Lisa and Michael discuss the historical background, meaning, and purpose of both the image of Divine Mercy and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  They also discuss the graces that can outpour at the 3 PM Divine Mercy Power Hour, the novena that leads up to the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday and its plenary indulgence, and how a person can easily consecrate themselves to Divine Mercy, knowing that our loving God will always meet us right where we are, with His unending love and mercy!

It's a pajama party!  Lisa and Rachel wear their favorites today and each discuss their personal history with pajamas, the rules and traditions they apply to pajamas, and how a good pair of pajamas should serve us to make us feel comfortable and confident!   Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/fashionedbyfaithpodcast/ and join our Facebook discussion group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/2671977539481564/

Join us in prayer as Lisa and Rachel pray the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, along with little baby Joey, whose gurgles and giggles mark this beautiful phase of motherhood that we are in!  We thank Pond5.com and Eclipse Films for our royalty-free use of "Ave Maria," composed by Sebastian Bach, arranged for harp solo, and superimposed by Charles Gounod.

How should one select a Halloween costume and classify the decorations we see at this time of year?  Do we reject the glamor of evil, like our Baptismal promises call us to?  Today Lisa and Rachel discuss the images we see during this season as either natural, macabre, reverent, or a caricature.  A new segment in this episode is the Fashion Confession, where Lisa and Rachel each come clean about something they've been hiding! And little baby Joey makes an unexpected appearance and brings on the laughter!

Can the virtue of humility get lost when we have fun dressing up?  Can a well-dressed man evoke in a woman the feeling of being protected?  In today's episode, Lisa and Rachel discuss the 5 levels of dress formality, reflect on generational differences, and ponder why today's culture is searching for so much comfort in their clothes.  Could it be that we are lacking the comforts and joy that come from slowing down, engaging in authentic human interactions, and having an intimate relationship with God?  Do we dress down more as a culture because we don't fully see our worth as children of God?  And how should we dress for Mass, which is to be the most important part of our week?  As we select our clothes, do we ponder the interplay between humility and dignity?  Lisa and Rachel unpack all this and more!

Do we remember to clothe ourselves in virtue instead of just fabric?  Rachel and Lisa have fun together, searching through Scripture to find out what it can teach us about clothes and the meaning behind them!  

Lisa pops on today to wish you a happy first day of Fall and a happy feast day of St. Padre Pio!

In this episode, Lisa and Rachel share how they clean their clothes (hello dirty laundry!) and how they try to cleanse their souls (on the regular!) with the mercy of God's continual forgiveness!  The episode begins with a discussion of what fashion means to each girl personally and concludes with Holy Homework for the listener!
