Rose from Lawndale, California, called Family Rosary Across America on a bittersweet anniversary: one year since the death of her husband, George.

Why Daily Mental Prayer is Vital (The Inner Life) (opens the original)

“Dear God, Please Let Me Hate It” (The Mark Swartzberg Show) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sister Katie Flanagan knew she wanted to be a teacher. Becoming a religious sister? That wasn’t even on her radar. Speaking with Mark on The Mark Swartzberg Show , she recalled how friends first introduced her to the Salesian Sisters, whose charism of loving and educating young people immediately resonated with her. Then, during prayer near the end of college, an unexpected thought entered her mind: “Maybe you're supposed to be a nun.” She resisted. For six years, while teaching, the possibility
