Deacon Tom is great! I love the fact that he is focusing on marriage. My 33 year marriage with Nancy has been an adventure with twists and turns along the way but we still try to keep it fresh. These reflections sure do help.
Loved the “Interview with the Deacons” podcast. My uncle is a permanent deacon and I don’t think I have thought about asking any of those questions. I also didn’t realize the impact of speaking negatively about a bishop to a deacon and the role of vows in that relationship/conversation and putting the deacon in a tight spot.
Thank you for the great music….I am enjoying it right now!!
Hi Lisa, Just have to enter… I have been sorely missing my CM podcast… for some reason my ipod usb cable is not very happy!! Cannot seem to even get it to appear in itunes. Very frustrating! Anyways, looking forward to listening more once I get the ipod issues ironed out
. Oh, and thank you for mentioning the Catholic MN Homeschool Conference last week… it was a great conference!!
Hi Lisa. Please enter me in the Catholic Marriage book contest.

Enjoyed your podcast, as always. Thanks for sharing great content and sharing of yourself and your thoughts. Great job, Lisa!
What wonderful books for a giveaway!
Thanks Lisa- we all need help nurishing our marriages!
I am excited about the month-long series on the sacrament of marriage. I recently got engaged and this will help as we prepare for this beautiful sacrament. I have learned SO much from your podcasts and can’t wait to learn more. Thank you! God Bless!
My wife and I would like to be entered for the marriage book giveaway. We have been married for almost 4 years. We have two sons ages 3 years and 11 months. We’re always in need of more insight in to marriages since we’re still relatively new to our vocation.
We would be honored to receive any of these great books on marriage.
I will catch up on the podcasts over the next few days. I think it’s great to dedicate a month on marriage. Unfortunately the word marriage has been minimalized by Hollywood types who use it for a publicity stunt. Today, young adults are choosing to live together instead of making a committment through marriage. I’m very happy that my daughter has been happily married for six years and my son is engaged to be married next year. If I win a book, I plan to read it and pass it on to our children.
Thanks for playing Nick and I’s promo, we really appreciate it! Look forward to seeing you at the CNMC!

What a wonderful series on Marriage. We can all use assistance navigating this vocation.
As a Catholic woman in her 20s discerning marriage, I’d love to be entered in the contest!
I thank God for having sent great authors to continually inspire and bless people with God’s messages.
All the best!
Hey Lisa!
I love to read, so I sure enjoy the book reviews and interviews you provide us with each week. ALL your segments are full of information and inspiration! Thanks for all you do and God bless!
I also look forward to your book reviews. I know my husband isn’t as fond of these episodes, because usually he is left with a much lighter wallet. LOL Look forward to reading more of your book selections.
Ciao!
Marriage is the root of society and vocation in the Church. Glad to see more books with a Catholic emphasis!
Thanks for a chance to enter the contest. Would appreciate any book re: marriage. As a Catholic married to a non-Catholic any help would be nice. Thanks for the opportunity.
