This week\\u2019s episode:

\\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d: St Margaret Mary

\\u201cAmong Women\\u201d Guest: Uju Ekeocha

This week we talk with one Among Women listener about how she was blessed by the ministry of Among Women and how it deepened her faith and helped her discover how each woman is called to be a saint and be a force for good in the world. In this extended Among Women podcast, Uju Ekeocha describes her own growth in responding to what God is calling her, and us, to do to build a culture of life. A Catholic woman born and raised and educated in Nigeria, Africa, Uju is a Specialist Biomedical Scientist\\xa0today in Canterbury, England, UK. Last year, her life began to change when her open letter of protest to Melinda Gates against proposed distribution of contraception to Africans in her country went viral and caught the attention of people around the world. The momentum \\xa0led Uju to form Culture of Life Africa, an initiative that has just held its first pro-life conference in Nigeria, and \\xa0is endorsed now by the Vatican\\u2019s Pontifical Council for the Laity, and the bishops conference in Nigeria. All because one woman, motivated by her faith in God and love of life, spoke up against the encroaching culture of death.

Also on today\\u2019s show, we look at some of the writings of St Margaret Mary about the Sacred Heart of Jesus during this month that celebrates that devotion.
