This episode:
“Blessed are They”: St. Olympia
“Among Women” Guest: Mary Beth Weisenburger
In this episode of Among Women we look at something very close to my heart — prayer journaling! It’s a great topic and I’m pleased to welcome Mary Beth Weisenburger, author of Praying with a Pen: The Girlfriend’s Guide to Stress-Free Prayer Journaling. Our conversation is geared for all those newbies who want to try this method of prayer — what Mary Beth dubs “chocolate for your soul”. Together we explore how to get started (hint: listen for the 4 P’s), as well as what it means to experience holy whispers and “holy moly” moments.
I also look back in early fourth-century church history to recap some of the extraordinary life of St. Olympia — a woman of great fortitude and generosity.
