Together they did five shows about Catholic womanhood, motherhood, and spiritual motherhood. They delved into many topics including prayer, the Blessed Mother, redemptive suffering, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is Part One:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The American poet, William Ross Wallace, extolled the dignity and vocation of women in their vocation as wife and mother in his well-known poem whose title captures a great and profound truth &#8211; &#8220;The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is the Hand That Rules the World.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In our culture today, the hallowed position of motherhood, and woman in general, is misunderstood, denigrated, and a subject of ridicule and near contempt. In this Women of Grace series, we will explore the truth about motherhood and why it is indeed true that a woman\u2019s maternal charism is, indeed, a force that can change the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the half hour show: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=686\">http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=686<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part Two:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Woman\u2019s greatest gift is the gift of herself. Through her feminine charisms of receptivity, trust, and surrender, she demonstrates fully her Christ-likeness in the world. Be she professional woman in the world, mother of a family of ten, or religious sister or nun, woman is called to be mother. <\/p>\n<p>Today, we will talk about this graced charism of the feminine person with our guest, Donna-Marie Cooper O\u2019Boyle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the half hour show: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=687\">http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=687<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part Three:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Woman has been entrusted with a great call and mission in this our day and time. As the Closing Message to Women from the Second Vatican Council tells her, she is called to &#8220;save the peace of the world.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>How can she not only cooperate with this mission but engage it fully? As our guest tells us, she cannot approach it, much less be victorious in it, without prayer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the half hour show: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=688\">http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=688<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part Four:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Repurposing is popular today. It means to take something intended for use in one way and convert it for use in another. An ottoman becomes a coffee table, a wheelbarrow becomes a planter, a jeweled brooch becomes a Christmas ornament. <\/p>\n<p>Women are great repurposers. Perhaps that is why they are so good at taking the contradictions and sufferings of everyday life and using them as a means of purification and sanctification for themselves and others. <\/p>\n<p>Our guest knows how to repurpose and has taken the hardships of life and used them as instruments of grace for those she loves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the half hour show: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=692\">http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=692<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part Five:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we have come to discover in this Women of Grace series, God has entrusted to woman a great big, audacious mission. It is nothing less than to save the peace of the world. <\/p>\n<p>To accomplish her task and mission, there is no exemplar to whom she can look with more confidence than the Blessed Virgin Mary. What is it about Our Lady that gives us such good guidance, that directs us and leads us in the way we should go? That is the question our guest will answer for us in this segment of our Women of Grace series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the half hour show: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=693\">http:\/\/www.womenofgrace.com\/en-us\/media\/tv\/details.aspx?id=693<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donna-Marie recently visited with Johnnette Benkovic on EWTN&#8217;s Women of Grace television show.
