This week\\u2019s episode:

\\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d: St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

\\u201cAmong Women\\u201d 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 \\u2014 theologically \\u2014 to the mission of Among Women. I\\u2019m so happy to share some of the \\u201cfeminine genius\\u201d 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\\u2019s social teaching \\u2014 the dignity of the human person, and its subset of ideas that embraces the genius of womanhood.

I\\u2019m 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\\u2019s part of the Nine Days novena for life. \\xa0Be sure to check all the links below for lots of good information.
