An interview with Guest, Rachel Wong from the Feminine Genius. Vancouver, Canada

This is Testimony Thursday!  

Hi Friends, Time to find a comfy chair, and make some tea or coffee.

In this Podcast, Jacqueline interviews Rachel Wong. She is the founder of The Feminine Genius - a Catholic podcast in Vancouver, Canada that celebrates women of God and their unique genius. She's a young adult - and in this interview she describes her journey of ups and downs and eventual discernment in her life of faith.

“I think sometimes, as Catholic women, we can get painted into this stereotype and you think, ‘Oh, I’m not holy enough’ or ‘I don’t want to be this beautiful homemaker that just prays the rosary all day,’ ” said Wong. “It feels ridiculous to describe, but I think the stereotype is out there. There are a variety of ways for Catholic womanhood to manifest itself and we are out there.”  Thus... the Feminine Genius Podcast.

The Mystery of Death - Part of our November Series

The Mystery of Death with Bishop Ronald Gilmore,  (Chaplain of Grace that Reigns )

 

In this podcast, Bishop Gilmore offers a few thoughts on Death, Heaven, on Hell and on Purgatory.

He begins with this:

‘Some of you may not know that November has always been a month off sober and prayerful reflection in our Church: on the four last things, we used to way … on Death, on Heaven, on Hell, and on Purgatory.

But the ways and the manners of our time almost forbid our talking about that first one, about death.  A monk in France wondered recently if we even had “the time to die” today.

Bishop then speaks about technology and how it overwhelms and at time overwhelms us, so that we are not thinking of the inevitable in November.

-  “I don’t have time,” we say stubbornly; “you’ve had enough time,” Says God, wearily.

 We don’t have time to die because we have never made real time to live … never made time for ourselves, never made time God.  That’s why we are more than ready to miss the high point of this life.

Death is the most important act of earthly existence.  But we start, and we cut, and we run when it comes close.
