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!

Presenting Our Sister for Heaven

Amy D'Ambra of My Saint My Hero shares the story of accompanying her beloved sister, Judy as she prepared for Heaven.

Amy is the youngest of five sisters. Judy was diagnosed with a rapid-progressing form of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) almost two years ago.

This diagnosis took Amy and those dearest to her on a journey of the soul. One of the greatest lessons: to use our voices courageously to share the love of God while on Earth and keep our hearts fixated on spending forever with Him in Heaven.

Amy is one of the creators and compilers of Mother Mary, Mother Me, a devotional journal found at mysaintmyhero.com to help you grow closer to the heart of our Blessed Mother.
