This Among Women episode is one I’ve been waiting for all year! My friend, author and Catholic Weekend host María Morera Johnson, joins me for the Among Women interview. Maria brings some of the stories behind her new book, including how the book got its name: My Badass Book of Saints: Courage Women Who Showed Me How to Live. This is one book that I hope many women will read, and a book I especially hope you’ll put in the hands of someone who may never pick up a book of saints otherwise.
In this conversation, my writing buddy and good friend gives us the background on how a word like “badass” got into the book’s title, and her own powerful lessons of how God has helped her — and a variety of saints and impressive women — persevere under trials and hardships! Not only that, Maria talks about her recent pilgrimage to Cuba and her personal meeting with Pope Francis and other church leaders!
I also profile the life of St Rose of Lima, as told in an excerpt from Maria Johnson’s book.
Plus there’s news about the The Women on the Way Conference, with yours truly, Nov. 21 in Richmond, VA

Pat, I loved meeting you in Springfield, IL last year at the 1st Women’s Conference. I still treasure all you taught about spiritual motherhood! May God continue to bless you! Would LOVE to win a book or 3 🙂
I remember you, Mary Jo! Thanks for entering!
