One of the most cherished guests on our podcast has gone home to the Lord, Ellen Manfredi Mongan! Please pray for the repose of her soul and her dear husband, family, and community!

My dear friend Ellen Mongan passed away on May 4th. 💔 We became friends through our work with CatholicMom and through podcasting, despite living several states apart. Although we never had the opportunity to meet in person, our friendship grew deeply through our shared faith, podcasting, prayer, and fellowship. 🙏 I had hoped to visit her this summer, and I will always cherish our many conversations and prayers together.

Ellen was a devoted wife to Deacon Patrick, a loving mother and grandmother, and a beautiful mentor to so many. She was one of the kindest and most positive people I have ever known, with a tremendous heart for others. ❤️ She lived life fully and will be greatly missed. Please keep Deacon Patrick, her family, and all who loved her in your prayers. ✝️

One year ago today, the College of Cardinals elected Cardinal Robert Prevost as the 267th Successor of Peter. Taking the name Leo XIV, he became the first U.S.-born pope in the history of the Church. We give thanks for his ministry and continue to pray for our Holy Father.

Prayer and a living relationship with Christ are the foundation of peace, writes Anne DeSantis. Peace grows where love and truth are present, and it flows from the deliberate choice to will the good of others.
