Women of Grace, Radio

Do you get distracted during Holy Mass? What is troubling your heart? Hostess Johnnette Benkovic develops a reflection about the importance of preparing for Holy Mass and meditating upon the readings, even before you head out to church. What are the reasons for which you get distracted? How do you avoid distraction? Are some distractions legit—that they could even steer you into what God is trying to tell you? Listener Elana asks how can she push aside distractions while praying the Holy Rosary? Viewer José correlates in Scripture: “light has shown” and “light has risen.” Caller Ellen shares some insights about recent readings at Holy Mass. Blanca calls in to share her meditation on walking—vs. sitting—in the readings. You will come out of this show with a lively enthusiasm for Mass readings, so be sure to tune in to EWTN Radio’s “Women of Grace.”

The hijacking of woman and how you can stop it from happening to you and your loved ones. Hostess Johnnette Benkovic welcomes guest Sue Ellen Browder, author of the book “Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women’s Movement” to talk about the hijacking and manipulation of woman in modern-day society. Journalist Sue Ellen went from “Cosmo girl” to an authentic Catholic woman. Sue Ellen and Johnnette reveal how the women’s movement—that was supposed to be about women’s equality—was purposefully and silently twisted into a sexual revolution. From her investigative reporting, Sue Ellen tells you the exact date and location when abortion was forcefully injected into the equal rights amendment to push it into the women’s movement and the controversial split that sparked from this, even among the feminists. Among other callers, Rosemarie is concerned to see her granddaughter does not have motherhood in her mindset nor in her conversation—but rather sports, career and ambition—so what can Rosemarie say to help? Nancy calls in to point out the propaganda in the media is engulfing young women today. Have pen and paper ready. Listen, here, to EWTN Radio’s “Women of Grace.”

Don’t be fooled by the non-inclusive, ‘women’s march’ because it is all about the money. Don’t confuse it with the ‘March for Life’ which is genuinely for all women. Elena Rodriguez sits in for hostess Johnnette Benkovic to welcome staff researcher and journalist at www.womenofgrace.com Sue Brinkmann who reports on the news stories of the week.

Caller Jennifer asks if she can have Holy Mass said for unborn babies. Listener John says it is a mistake to give credence to the so-called ‘women’s march.’ Martin calls in to ask about illuminati.

Mercy in light of the Fatima centennial… so it’s not over now that the year of Mercy has passed. How does the Rosary sustain your constant process of conversion?

Together they look at the key points of the message from Our Lady of Fatima in light of God’s continued and unfathomable mercy. Pope Francis designated Fr.

Wade Menezes, CPM—a member of the “Fathers of Mercy”—to talk about what the Fatima Centennial means to you and your loved ones. Fr. Wade has a very close connection to Fatima because of his Portuguese heritage. What do the Fatima prophecies tell us today? Why did Our Lady in Fatima say Russia would spread her errors throughout the world? Was the consecration of Russia in 1984 legitimate and complete? What should we be doing to prepare for the Fatima centennial and what is the sense of urgency? How do you do the First Saturday devotions?
