Quote Me with Lindsay Schlegel

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 101 st 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.

Listeners, you’re in for a treat as we spend some time with Amy Brooks, author of Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls and the forthcoming Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Boys , and founder of PrayerWineChocolate.com and CatholicsOnline.net . If you’ve ever felt you’re asking too much of God in prayer, you’ll find peace in these words from St. Teresa of Avila: “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. To suggest a quote or a guest, follow the show on Ins

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!
