This week, I'm so honored to have Bishop Mark Spalding from the Diocese of Nashville join me. We discuss his upcoming role as the speaker for our Magnificat meal in August, a wonderful women's ministry that brings together women from across the diocese for fellowship and inspiring testimonies. Bishop Spalding shares the significance of Our Lady of Good Success in his faith journey and the intercession of the Blessed Mother throughout his life.
In our conversation, Bishop Spalding emphasizes the importance of community and connection in each of our faith journeys, particularly for midlife women who can often feel isolated. We delve into how the Blessed Mother's intercession and the legacy of faith from previous generations that provides strength and inspiration for today's trials and struggles. Bishop Spalding offers practical advice for parents whose children have fallen away from the faith, encouraging patience, love, and the power of prayer, especially through the intercession of Saint Monica and the Blessed Mother.
We also explore the significant role women play in the Church. Bishop Spalding acknowledges the vital contributions of women in pastoral and parish ministries, stressing the importance of their wisdom, nurturing, and compassionate presence. He shares personal anecdotes about the influential women in his life and emphasizes the church's need for the unique gifts of women. As we wrap up, Bishop Spalding asks for prayers for wisdom, understanding, and courage in his leadership, reminding us of the power of intercessory prayer and the communal support within our faith.
