Quote Me with Lindsay Schlegel

In the Season Two finale, we welcome a brave, loving soul with a heart for Christ. Mary Lenaburg is the author of Be Brave in the Scared: How I Learned to Trust God during the Most Difficult Days of My Life . She is also a speaker and someone you are going to want to follow on Instagram for her humor, honesty, and encouragement. By the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Season Two both begins and ends with quotes from Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales (the patron saint of writers!), whom our host Lindsay has also quoted on her personal IG page . "Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it." Also mentioned in this episode is Ephesians 3:20-21: “Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him b...

Once a nationally ranked All-Ivy League wrestler at the University of Pennsylvania, Gene experienced a strong reversion to the Catholic faith following the 33-day consecration to Jesus through Mary. Thereafter, he founded Spiritual Strength, which offers retreats, presentations, and social media spreading devotion to the three hearts and fighting against the world, flesh, and devil.

Katie Warner is a Catholic children’s book author, speaker, National Catholic Register writer , wife, and homeschooling mom. She knows what it is to pursue holiness in the midst of a busy life, and she speaks with inspiring and contagious joy in this episode. Her quote comes right from our Lord, in His communication to a Benedictine monk as recorded in the book In Sino Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart—The Journal of a Priest at Prayer : “Give Me as much time as you can, and I will give you time and energy to do all that you must do.” Katie also calls to mind these words from St. Thérèse of Lisieux : “God cannot inspire unrealizable desires. I can, then, in spite of my littleness, aspire to holiness.” We love all of Katie’s children’s books, and hope you’ll get a copy of her newest title, Lily Lolek, Future Saint , illustrated by Amy Rodriguez, officially published May 19 and available now for pre-order.
