It’s Holy Week!! Yay!! We’re beginning the holiest week of the year (and of our lives) and we’re excited to talk about Palm Sunday. Join us for a casual conversation about our favorite parts of Holy Week, insights over Sunday’s gospel, and how we’re going into this week with a heart ready to receive grace.

Welcome to a new week everybody! This week, Clare shares a saint spotlight on one of her favorite saints, St. Josephine Bakhita. From a life of great suffering to one of great joy, St. Josephine is an inspiration for all of us-let her be an inspiration for our week!

Welcome to the Weekly Word! This week, Maria talks about the doors of our lives, and how we place our trust in God. Where do we try to take things into our own hands? Where do we rely on our own strength instead of God’s plan? This week, let’s give up our impatience in place of trust and peace. (Note: If you notice kids making noises in the back, this episode was recorded while siblings were playing! Sorry for the distraction!)

Welcome to the Weekly Word! In this episode, Clare touches on the common misconceptions of the season of Lent, and speaks to how Lent can be a transformative, powerful, and beautiful way of growing closer to God. Have a wonderful week everybody!

Welcome to the Weekly Word! This week, Clare talks about the lessons we can learn from the great story of St. Paul. God’s mercy is for ALL, and no amount of sinful history, mistakes, or distance can change that, so let’s live in the truth that a change of heart can bring this week!

Welcome to the Pinch of Grace Podcast! We can’t wait for you to get to know us. We’re Maria and Clare, here to provide education, evangelization, and encouragement to young Catholic women in the 21st century. Just two high school girls passionate about spreading God’s love, and letting people know they’re not alone in this walk of faith. Let’s get this show started!

Welcome to the Weekly Word! In this portion of the podcast, Clare and Maria will take turns each week hosting a short segment about a Saint/Quote/Bible Verse that is inspirational to them, as a simple motivational boost to start off your Mondays with a bit of knowledge, along with some practical, focused ways to live out your faith! This week, Maria touches on some thoughts in Mark 7, and the struggle between living in God’s word and living in the world. It’s a challenge, but one that’s sooo worth taking on!! Let’s live authentically in the security of God’s word this week, and reject the lie that living of the world will satisfy us; because in the end, we have all the satisfaction and approval we’ll ever need in the truth of God our Father:)
