Deacon Joe (our daddy) said some pretty wise things, identifying the three foundational principles of a marriage, first found in family life: Love, Trust and Sacrifice. 

What he believes a successful, prepared marriage:

• Think about yourself and a compatible mate and write a list of important things
• Don’t compromise
• Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your discernment
• Surrender your engagement to God.

We decided to write a little blog which includes the poem at the beginning of this episode as well as some written down wisdom we’ve learned from our experiences as children as well as adults. Oh, there are some great pictures there too! Enjoy!

Misheard lyrics are hilarious but seriously, listen to this and tell me it doesn’t sound like “She sees the hat and Gizzy won’t touch it.”

• JP2 Did not say, “Virtue is practiced within the arena of the family”. Stacy did in Level Up. She attributed JP2’s quote from 1996 book, Gift and Mystery; “My preparation for the priesthood in the seminary was in a certain sense preceded by the preparation I received in my family, thanks to the life and example of my parents.”
• Mother Teresa Quote: “Wash the plate not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the person who will use it next.”

In this heartfelt episode, the Guzman sisters open up about their personal and powerful first encounters with Mary, the Mother of God. From the miracle of one sister’s conception to another's vivid nightmare that led her to discover Mary’s protective presence, each story reflects a unique and intimate moment of grace.

We share our favorite Marian devotions—those that have brought us peace, direction, and a sense of deep connection to our heavenly mother. You'll hear how one sister was gently and unmistakably guided by Mary toward her vocation, and how Our Lady continues to walk with each of us in the joys and struggles of life.

Whether you're just beginning to learn about Mary or you’ve had your own powerful Marian moment, this episode invites you to reflect on how the Blessed Mother is always near—leading, comforting, and pointing us to her Son.

In this episode, the Guzman girls dive into their Myers Briggs personality profiles and talk whether we agree with them or not.

Stacy mentioned the Full of Grace Workshop and how it highlights that there is not one way to be feminine or holy. As long as we are modeling our femininity on Mary’s four actions in Luke’s gospel (Listen/Respond/Share/Serve) we can still be like Mary but have a very different personality. It’s important to note that there is not one “Holy” personality, that each of us is called to be holy in the way we were each created. It’s like harmony in music-so many different notes played well together create a beautiful sound: harmony!

Stacy mentioned a meme about Jesus with a little girl and teddy bear. See it here.

We also wanted to share our love languages and temperaments but this episode got too long, so here we go:

• Kim: Acts of Service and Phlegmatic
• Stacy: Quality time and Sanguine
• Lauren: Acts of Service and Melancholic/Phlegmatic tie
• Teresa: Acts of Service and Choleric
• Christine: Acts of Service and Melancholic

This episode was offered up for all those of you who hunger for a deeper encounter with God. We pray you meet him in a powerful and life changing way.

Then the Guzman girls shared their first encounter with God. Each sister’s story was very different but involved some similar pieces. Each of us was not expecting the encounter, but in almost every case, the encounter was facilitated by someone else, which reminds us that God could be waiting to use you to help facilitate an encounter with God for someone in your life.

We pray this episode held you up! Praying for you and God bless!
