Placing God in the Center with Michele Sagarino of Cross Catholic Outreach

Michele Sagarino, President of Cross Catholic Outreach, had a clear plan for her life. She was determined to make it happen.

Yet, when it was time for Michele to have children, she wasn’t getting pregnant.

God began opening Michele’s heart to His will for her life. Michele and her husband were blessed to start a family through the gift of adoption.

Soon after, Michele went on a mission trip with Cross Catholic Outreach.

Michele knew where God wanted her—to work in developing countries. She now works with the best people, transforming—by the grace of God—the worst circumstances.

A Foretaste of Heaven with Rose Folsom

“I radiate the hope of the Holy Spirit, instead of the fear of condemnation.”

Rose Folsom, a lay Dominican, was raised in a home affected by alcoholism. She later dated a young man addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Rose wrote in her journal that she felt like a “shattered mirror.” She experienced intense anxiety and looked for others’ approval to find a sense of identity.

Rose went to Al-Anon. “Al-Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking.”

This began a journey of healing and new life for Rose.

Listen and learn how you, too, can grow in greater trust and surrender so that you—by God’s grace—radiate love as well!

The Miracle Of Going Home with Elaine Drabik

Elaine Drabik was rushed to the hospital after an unexpected seizure. Unknowingly, she had a virus resulting in a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that left Elaine's family uncertain if she would survive.

Elaine and her family were blessed with a miracle. While doctors were uncertain if Elaine would ever be well enough to go home, Elaine miraculously returned home on her youngest child's first birthday. She'd healed more than her doctors had even hoped.

In this Lenten podcast, Elaine shares about the months of recovery in which she spent most of the time alone sleeping and resting due to severe headaches. Throughout these long months Elaine clung to Scripture, as well as the word she heard God speak to her in the hospital: "Okay." Somehow, Elaine knew she would be "okay."
