Quote Me with Lindsay Schlegel

Lindsay’s husband, John, joins the show as the couple celebrates their tenth wedding anniversary. Lindsay and John have been serving in a marriage prep ministry within their diocese, and today John discusses a quote he brings to the table each time. From St. John of the Cross, “Where there is no love, put love, and you will find love.” Lindsay and John talk about these words within the context of marriage, as well as in the broader context of Christian living. How do you live charity without being a doormat? What is true charity to the other and how does it testify to trust in God’s love and mercy? Happy tenth anniversary, Lindsay and John!

Elena Bird, opera singer and director of sacred music at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church in Stirling, New Jersey, is our first guest! Elena explains how a line from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has influenced her as a singer. In the play, Helena says of Hermia, “And though she be but little, she is fierce.” In Elena’s life, it was her voice teacher saying the same of her in a time when she thought she had nothing left. The discussion leads to a powerful conversation on the intersection of creative work, motherhood, and serving the church. What is true humility? How does it allow us to live our vocations to the glory of God? Learn more about Elena and her upcoming shows on her website, elenatbird.com.

Author Lindsay Schlegel launches her podcast, Quote Me , with words that have made a significant impact on her family as they strive to live out the Catholic faith. “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” ― Lao Tzu Lindsay approaches the quote through the lens of her lifelong faith. She discusses how her husband has used it in the marriage prep ministry they serve and how her young sons have memorized it, simply from having it displayed in their home. You can find Lindsay’s book, Don’t Forget to Say Thank You: And Other Parenting Lessons That Brought Me Closer to God , wherever books are sold (Amazon affiliate link used here).
