Discussing women's gifts and dignity on Women of Grace!

Watch Monday through Friday at 11:00AM/11:30PM

Tune in this week to EWTN's Women of Grace!

I am visiting with Johnnette Benkovic all this week on EWTN’s Women of Grace television show. We have a new show for each day!

This is what Johnnette Benkovic has to say: "What is the important role that mother's play in this our day and time? Find out on this week's #WomenofGrace TV series, "Catholic Moms 'For Such a Time as This'" with author and friend Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle. Watch Monday through Friday at 11:00AM/11:30PM on EWTN or via our website:http://www.womenofgrace.com/en-us/media/tv/details.aspx?id=643 "

I hope you can join us! 

God bless!

PS I will try to get links to the archives which will be on YouTube and the EWTN website and I'll share them with you.

I am happy to announce...

I heard from Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Company today that my new book A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers is now in their office. I immediately put in my order and should be receiving a few cases within a few days.

You may order your autographed copies now. You'll be one of the first to get this book which addresses ALL women - single, Religious, married, and mothers!

You can order your copy or copies here.

Here's a bit of a description of the book from the back cover:

"With all the mixed messages that women receive from society today, women can be distracted from--and even unreceptive to--the deep and abiding love that Christ has for them. Whether single or married, religious or consecrated, parenting children, or spiritually mentoring others, women need to know that the Lord understands the many challenges they face, their desire for inspiration, and, above all, their need to be affirmed as women.

Through this book of original and traditional prayers from one of the top ten most fascinating Catholics of 2009 as rated by Faith & Family Live, women can realize God's divine Love, thrive in inspiration from Saints and the Church and rest in the affirmation of the "feminine genius" that Christ offers."

I'd also like to point out that this book will speak of the joys and challenges of womanhood. Many of the tough issues that some Catholic woman face are addressed in this book including: miscarriage, infertility, menopause, estrangements, divorce, and much more. The joys of Catholic womanhood are indeed overflowing in this book too! :) Church teaching is woven throughout the book as well as the wisdom and inspiration from the Saints.

It's sturdy, compact and the perfect size to stash in your purse, backpack, diaper bag, or to keep nearby on the coffee table or night stand. I know you're going to love it, if I may say so myself!

Unveiling the cover!

I now have the cover image to show you. This is my new book coming out in September of this year.

Women are strong! Women are faithful!

I love what Archbishop Sheen expressed to us, don't you? He asked...

"Which stands up better in a crisis - man or woman? The best way to arrive at a conclusion is to go to the greatest crises the world ever faced, namely the CRUCIFIXION OF OUR DIVINE LORD. When we come to this great drama of Calvary there is one fact that stands out very clearly: Men failed. On the other hand, there is not a single instance of a woman's failing him."

~Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Can we pray to be as faithful as the women who stood by our dear Lord Jesus? We have to be!

We need to pray for a increase in faith, hope, and love EVERY DAY! Faithful women can be an awesome example to others and help to bring them closer to Our Lord.

A new women's study group has formed!

A warm note from a newly formed Women's Faith Sharing group...

"Sacred Heart Parish, Riverton NJ has now formed a young Women's Faith Sharing group! The Women's evening Bible study kicked off their gathering with a 'Soup and Scripture' night. The women will gather monthly using The Domestic Church:Room by Room: A Study Guide for Mothers written by Donna-Marie O'Boyle. Through this study guide, Donna-Marie will lead the women into a deeper relationship with Jesus through the assistance of Our Blessed Mother."

Prayers, books, retreats...

Hello Everyone,

Just checking in with you. I've been busy working on books and articles and dealing with some health issues too. I'd like to ask for prayers for a woman I know in Texas where I gave a retreat. She is due to give birth in December and just had to be rushed to the hospital with complications. Please say a prayer for Rosie. She is so faithful and very sweet.

A received another urgent request for prayers for a mother who is in Kansas and is in the hospital with the swine flu. She is on a ventilator and her prognosis is not very good. She has two sets of twins at home. Please pray for her too.

So many of you have been patiently waiting for my new book about Mother Teresa titled, Mother Teresa and Me: Ten Years of Friendship. I am sorry that there has been a delay over at the publisher. I am told that it is moving along the process and we should be able to see its release in a couple of weeks or so. Again, I am very sorry for the wait. Thanks for your patience.

Additionally, I am giving a retreat this week end out of state at a beautiful and holy abbey. You can see their flyer here. Please keep all of the women in your prayers for God's holy will in their lives. Please pray for my journey and that God will speak through me to inspire others.

Thank you for accompanying me on this amazing journey through life! May God bless you and yours in great abundance!

God bless and hugs!

Donna-Marie
