Loretta Pehanich preaches for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, inviting us to claim and live our baptismal priesthood: "We live in times where people all around us are discouraged. As God's servants—God’s priests—we have a duty to invite people to LOOK! God's message of love and hope is right here, in the communities we touch—the people we randomly meet throughout the day."Loretta Pehanich is a Catholic writer and an Ignatian-trained spiritual director. Actively engaged in women’s ministry for many years, Loretta wrote "Women in Conversation: Stand Up!" (RENEW International 2021). She also presents workshops on topics related to spirituality. Loretta and Steve have 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren. She is an avid quilter and loves gardening.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/01182026 to learn more about Loretta, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
