You met with my friend Mary Woodard! Amazing! Such a wonderful woman! This episode made me pledge £3.00/month. Well done!

[@emilydytor8542]

My husband (English) and I (American) met on Catholic match and met up for the first time in Paris, too! (Now we live in England with our three little ones) Thank you Mary for your story and thank you Maria and Peter for this chanel.

This was such a beautiful testimony. I cried at the part of your story when you told us what the priest had said to you about suffering. I think I may write that down and frame it. What a beautiful wonderful holy priest. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahward9250]

Me too, incredibly moving 💗

[@bennas3248]

Mary, you speak so truthfully and beautifully about both suffering and motherhood, and what you say about smaller Catholic families really resonates with me as a fellow mum of 2. Thank you!

[@aneliseschubert137]

Got us all teared up, what a beautiful witness to the faith!

[@pierscadell7188]

Thank you, this was such a beautiful testimony, I was in tears. Such a wonderful understanding of suffering and reflection on Motherhood which is so undermined today.

[@jojopaddaramos6190]

What an inspiring woman. A very thought provoking episode.

[@philippawright5062]

Maria, THANK YOU for making another video about infertility. I know you touched on it in Charlotte’s story early on, but this was a very important discussion about how hard it is for infertile couples to be at ease with the culture of big Catholic Families. This was an amazing episode.. such wisdom from your guest. God Bless you x

P.S.... Mary for Prime Minister!

Mary's mom got me onto this channel. It has been so inspirational.

[@ml1916]

I loved all the episodes so far, but... I think it was the one which taught and touched me the most. God bless

'Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world'

Really beautiful, thankyou x

What a beautiful dialogue. She beautifully expresses the weird divide between mothers with many children and women who cannot have any within the church. A great reminder to live out our unique calling. I worry a little about the whole redemption through suffering doctrine though. What if the price is already paid? our lives are the frame for our being, suffering allows our true colours, being part of God, to shine through. That’s what I believe.

Fiona you're right, this is a great chat. We ( Catholics) have a lot to offer the world.

[@middaymoms8882]

How beautiful...

[@stmartin17773]

Story of dying uncatechised grandfather. Priest flew four hours to supply supernatural life. Sudden window of lucidity opens through coma. Wow. And Romans 8 "..heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him" v.difficult Crohns disease.
