\\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d: St Catherine of Bologna

\\u201cAmong Women\\u201d Guest: Jennifer Fitz

I\\u2019m happy to be back after an unplanned hiatus due to family obligations and spiritual direction school. In this episode I unpack seven spiritual weapons found in the writings of St Catherine of Bologna\\u2026 especially in the spiritual warfare that increased as her faith and love for Christ increased.

Our Among Women guest segment finds me conversing with author-blogger Jennifer Fitz, vice-president of the Catholic Writers Guild. Jennifer shares her life as a blogger-catechist-author and the good work of the Guild, and she opens her heart describing how her past experience as a competitive cyclist enlightens her faith today as she powers through suffering when it comes.
