Could we use fetal tissue for a cure for Covid-19? Dr. R.J. Snell, a Senior Fellow in Natural Law and Ethics at the Culture of Life Foundation joins Johnnette in a lively discussion on this topic. Dr. Snell several lawmakers have urged Health and Human Services to “waive the restrictions on research with human fetal tissue” and to “utilize human fetal tissue” in coronavirus research. We must avoid this morally illicit action.

The enneagram is enjoying a new popularity these days, mostly driven by a new generation of Catholics who are seeking a connection with the transcendent. Guest Sue Brinkmann says the Enneagram has occultic roots has kept many people away from the use of this device, but others are bypassing this rather significant roadblock by inventing a whole new Christian history of its roots. But how well does this new history stand up to serious scrutiny? Listen as Johnnette talks with Johnnette about enneagrams.

Today Johnnette talks about Consecration to Mary which was introduced by Saint Louis de Montfort in the early part of the 18th century. The heart of Montfort's classic work True Devotion to Mary is a formal act of consecration to Mary, so through her, one can be consecrated to Christ. Caller David talks about his dying brother and ask how he can repair a falling out they had. Listen to Johnnette's advice.

Host Johnnette reads a quote from St. Maximilian Kolbe : “The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spread of God’s kingdom.” Johnnette reminds us who taught Jesus.

"... why do you not tell Me about everything that concerns you, even the smallest details? Tell Me about everything, and know that this will give Me great joy.." says Jesus in St. Faustina's diary read today by host Johnnette Williams. If we share what is in our heart it will bring great joy to Jesus. Don't we all want to bring joy to Jesus? Christen writes in an tells how prayer help her addictions.

"When we approach God we must be like a child, " says Johnnette Williams on today's WOMEN OF GRACE. We must have a child-like confidence. God will be like a father picking up his child. This relates to St. Faustina's diary #606- " I begin my day with battle .. I am not worried, .. I throw myself like a child into the arms of the heavenly Father and trust I will not perish... In the midst of the worst difficulties and adversities, I do not lose inner peace or exterior balance, and this discourages my adversaries. Patience in adversity gives power to the soul."

Blogger Sue Brinkmann joins Johnnette and together they answer the question " “If God is unchanging, is our prayer doing any good?" The answer to the questions is yes – but not because our prayer changes God’s mind. It’s because He foresaw our prayer from all eternity and worked it into His plan from the very beginning. Johnnette reads from St. Faustina's diary #295- ".. I was your beginning here, so I will also be your end. .. I want to be alone in your soul. I will give light and strength to your soul, and you will learn.."

Host Johnnette Williams shares how God gives us guidance in this stressful time. WE need to reach out and love especially to the lonely. Johnnette reads St. Faustina's diary: "My daughter, tell souls that I am giving them My mercy as a defense. .. My Mercy has issued forth from My very depths for the consolation of the whole world."
