This week I am joined by Catholic mom and author Kelly Guest whose first book, Saintly Moms: 25 Stories of Holiness, is newly available. In the book, Kelly shares the stories of moms who are saints in ways that are sure to inspire you on your own path toward heaven.
Snippet from the Show
“We can relate to that idea of being sanctified by our children and being called to greater holiness in various ways by our kids. It is so humbling.”

How about you? What small practices help you to be more grateful every day?
At the end of today’s show, I share my response to a question from Margaret who is worried about hosting difficult relatives this Thanksgiving. Here is the video I reference where Fr. Mark Mary and I discuss ways to love people, even when they are annoying.
Also mentioned in today’s show: The Catholic Momcast, a podcast from Catholic Mom that I love getting work on with Lisa Hendey and Allison Gingras. Check it out!
