Allison Gingras is pure joy, and it was a gift to have her on the show. Allison is the founder of Reconciled to You, host of A Seeking Heart on Breadbox Media, WINE Steward for WINE: Women In the New Evangelization, and creator of the Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women.
The most recent of these—Seeking Peace: A Spiritual Journey from Worry to Trust (super relevant, right?!)—is available now.
She brings us words from Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis that are fit for any time of year, but have particular poignancy during Holy Week:
“Try to bear patiently with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be, because you also have many a fault which others must endure.”
If you’re looking for good spiritual reading, this book is a great place to start!
Connect with Allison at Reconciled to You, and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

This episode was recorded before we understood what the coronavirus was. Before school closings. Before social distancing. Way before Pope Francis’s Urbi et Orbi blessing and message.
We share this information because of the surprising relevance this episode carries, right down to the Gospel passage on which Pope Francis reflected last week. We hope you are encouraged, inspired, and lifted up by the hand of our God over this conversation.
Val Kelly is a daughter of God, wife, and mom, as well as a co-founding team member of You, Me and NFP. Her quote comes from her husband, Brendan. It’s a prayer he has often prayed when the couple needs to rely on God and trust in the faithfulness of Christ.
“God you have never failed us in the past and you will not fail us in the future.”
Val also calls on Mark 4:35-41:
“On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, ‘Let us cross to the other side.’ Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?’ They were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?’”

Alexandra Sullivan is the blogger behind Transform Our Hearts and co-host of the podcast, Raising Saints: Helping Kids Hear God's Voice, which is available on all major platforms.
Sometimes things we read stick with us, even if we’re not sure why until much later. Alexandra shares a section from psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl’s iconic book, Man's Search for Meaning, which she first read in 11th grade morality class.
"Everything can be taken from man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."
What a gift this freedom is, and how important it is that we cultivate it and use it rightly. Listen in for more, and then let us know what you think!

Adalee Hude is a lovely Catholic artist and creator of Light of Heaven: A Children’s Book of Saints and Light of Heaven Saints Coloring Book. She brings us words from Venerable Fulton Sheen:
“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”
Wow, right?

Amanda Martinez Beck is the author of Lovely: How I Learned to Embrace the Body God Gave Me, as well as co-founder and editor for Ruah Storytellers (whose Lenten series launches tomorrow!).
In this episode, Amanda shares what drew her to convert to Catholicism nearly five years ago and how recognizing herself as God’s treasure has impacted her life.
Amanda shares a quote from St. Lawrence in the third century, in reference to the sick, the infirm, and others cast aside in Roman society:
“These are the treasures of the Church.”
She also shares a mind-blowing line she received from the Holy Spirit in prayer, which is worthy of its own episode: “Culture turns the wall of the human heart into a door.”
Amanda introduces herself as the fat woman behind the Instagram account @your_body_is_good and the cohost of the Fat & Faithful podcast. You can learn more about her newest project, The Good Body Initiative, at her website, amandamartinezbeck.com.

Today we welcome Scott Williams, founder of Sock Religious, who brings us a quote he came across while coaching youth hockey, from Coach Piggy Lambert.
“Ask me in 20 years and we’ll see how successful these boys are. Then I’ll be able to tell you if I succeeded as a coach.”
Here’s the book on Coach John Wooden in which Scott found this inspiration: Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization.
Whether or not you’re involved with youth in sports or ministry, listen in to have Scott’s quote help you embrace the present moment and be all God’s calling you to be right now. Your trust and faithfulness today will, with His grace, bear beautiful fruit in the future.
Other quotes we discussed:
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”
–St. Teresa of Kolkata
“It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view.
The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.
We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent
enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of
saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection.
No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the Church's mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.
This is what we are about.
We plant the seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an
opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.
We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master
builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.”
--Attributed to St. Oscar Romero

Alexandria Marrow is a theology-teacher-turned-SAHM, who now focuses on writing. Most of her work is poetry and short fiction. Like Lindsay, she is a contributing writer for Ever Eden Literary Journal. (Check out our interview in Season One with Ever Eden publisher, Amy O’Connell.)
Her quote was her mother’s favorite line:
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”
These words from Henry David Thoreau take us into virtue, truth, goodness, and the struggle against contemporary relativism, and lead us back to the hope we have in the power of beauty.
Listen in and be inspired!

It’s a joy to welcome Tim Lucchesi, stay-at-home dad, director of Chaste Love, and co-host of the new podcast, Home But Not Alone, to the show.
Tim brings us a quote from Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. This quote comes from the 101st talk in the series, given on November 24, 1982, titled “Christ Opened Marriage to the Saving Action of God.” Here’s the short version:
"He (Jesus) assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman."
And here’s the long version:
“Christ, in the Sermon on the Mount, gives his own interpretation of the commandment, ‘You shall not commit adultery’—an interpretation constitutes a new ethos—with the same lapidary words he assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman: and simultaneously (even though this can be deduced from the text only in an indirect way), he also assigns to every woman the dignity of every man. Finally he assigns to every one—both to man and woman—their own dignity, in a certain sense, the sacrum of the person.”
Here, too, is the purported C.S. Lewis quote that Lindsay mentions (which, it turns out, he never actually said; sorry): “You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”
Learn more about Tim’s ministry at chastelove.org and @thechastelove on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. And be sure to check out Home But Not Alone, co-hosted by Tim and Sara Estabrooks (who we welcomed to the show S2:E1).

“You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.”
What great news for those of us with desires in our hearts that feel too big or too impossible. With Christ, indeed, all things are possible! Tune in to hear about Amy continues to live this out in her life.

Art, language, Scripture, and the saints come together in this episode, featuring Katie Woltornist, founder of Behold Visio Divina. In her time discerning religious life with the Dominicans, Katie’s heart was struck by these words from St. Catherine of Siena:
“Be who you are meant to be and you will set the world on fire!”
For Katie, that meant a change of course and trusting in the lessons learned along the way. In time, the Spirit led her to create a workshop that became Behold (first offered at St. Paul Inside the Walls in Madison, NJ, where Lindsay and her husband currently teach Pre-Cana).
We encourage you to give Visio Divina a try through one of Behold’s books, workshops, or their upcoming pilgrimage. To get you excited about it, check out this image, “Jump for Joy,” by Corby Eisbacher, which Katie and Lindsay talk (gush) about in their conversation.
Make sure to follow Behold on Facebook and Instagram, too.

We’re delighted to launch Season Two of Quote Me with Sara Estabrooks, author of the forthcoming Becoming Holy, One Virtue at a Time; blogger at To Jesus, Sincerely; and co-host of the new podcast, Home, But Not Alone.
Sara’s quote is from a book close to Lindsay’s heart as well, namely, Philothea or An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. The book is full of quoteable phrases, and the one we’re discussing here is this:
"Be sure that wheresoever our lot is cast we may and must aim at the perfect life."
This conversation is a great start to the new year and is sure to inspire you, whether you have a New Year’s resolution or not.
Find Sara online at ToJesusSincerely.com, and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to check out her new podcast, too! (Her co-host, Tim Luccchesi, will be a guest on Quote Me later this month.)

It’s a great joy to have Leslie Sholly, wife and mother of five, and blogger at Life in Every Limb on the show as we wrap up Season 1. She shares how her unexpected love of The X-Files led to writing fan fiction, which led her to this quote from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem “Enoch Arden”:
"Cast all your cares on God; that anchor holds."
If that sounds like Scripture, that’s because it’s very similar to 1st Peter 5:7. Listen in to hear how God set these words on Leslie’s heart as a child and where they led her in her journey with Christ—all the way to Coffee with Jesus at Radio Free Babylon!

You’d think we planned this episode to coincide with the release of the new film on Mr. Rogers, but we really didn’t (the proof is near the end, when we talk Halloween and memento mori)! Rather, this conversation with Elayne Miller, owner and designer at Annunciation Designs, is a further testament to the legacy of Mr. Fred Rogers, who gave us these words:
“The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.”
What kind of legacy will you leave? At the end of your life, will you be able to confidently say you lived authentically and as you were created to be? By the end of this episode, you’ll be renewed in your desire to do just that.
Here’s the book the quote comes from: The World According to Mr. Rogers: Important Things to Remember by Fred Rogers. And here’s one of the biographies Elayne recommends: The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers by Maxwell King.
Connect with Elayne at annunciationdesigns.com, instagram.com/annunciationdesigns, and facebook.com/annunciationdesigns.
