This week’s episode:
“Blessed are They”: St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
“Among Women” Guest: Rebecca Ryskind Teti
This week we look at the amazing dignity of woman and the gift of physical and spiritual maternity. This is one of those programs that is really foundational — theologically — to the mission of Among Women. I’m so happy to share some of the “feminine genius” that you will find in the writings of a saint, and the writings of women today, who are inspired by the gospel and the bedrock of our Church’s social teaching — the dignity of the human person, and its subset of ideas that embraces the genius of womanhood.
I’m happy to welcome faith and culture writer Rebecca Ryskind Teti to this episode, as she shares her faith and the beauty of her intellect as she unpacks a chapter that she wrote on the subject of the Feminine Genius.
Also, today, on the 40th anniversary of the Roe vs Wade decision in the United States, I shared my debut piece in the Washington Post, and my subsequent radio interview of the same. We also pray the today’s part of the Nine Days novena for life. Be sure to check all the links below for lots of good information.

Hey, Pat. Wish I could listen more often. I am trying to figure out the best way to do that.
When do you think most busy women listen to podcasts like these?
Lots of folks listen on their smart phones and tablets nowadays. On commutes. While doing chores. I have one lady tell me I’m her “company” when she walks.
