In this episode of "Word of Mouth," Catholic evangelist Michael Horn interviews Barbara Powers-Harris, a mother of five and a lifelong teacher, innovator, and artist.

Sharing her story of suffering and loss, she helps us to understand the power of God and the essential nature of having a relationship with the Blessed Mother Mary. Her recent projects include the construction of a 15 ft rosary and a video that she produced with her son Neal and her daughter, Clara (Blessed Mother Mary - A New Glorious Morn is the title of the video).

Explaining the meaning of vocation and evangelization, she wisely teaches us the constant need to be open to the calling of God in the here and now as well as the command to love others and grow in unity with one another. There is plenty of catechesis within her story, and thus, no formal catechetical section, in this episode. Enjoy! I certainly enjoyed interviewing a woman so in touch with the spiritual realm.

This is an invitation for everyone to share the video with their children, their students, their congregations - post it on parish and school websites so it is accessible as a devotional. Other families, schools and churches found this to be an easy springboard for talking about Our Blessed Mother Mary and passing on the blessings through her great faith and love.
