Veil + Armour: Confident Catholic Women exploring Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life

Join us for a special Father's Day episode of the Veil and Armour podcast as we celebrate fatherhood with my husband, Joseph.
In this episode, my husband discusses the vocation of fatherhood, rooted in faith, devotion, and mutual respect within the family. He shares about the role of fathers as knights, protectors and providers for the family. By drawing inspiration from Saint Joseph, fathers can navigate the challenges of modern fatherhood and create harmonious, joyful homes for their families.
Joseph elaborates on the role of fathers as silent leaders who guide their families with unwavering faith and strength, emphasizing the critical balance between leadership and silent strength that fathers must strike.
Discover the intricacies of a father's role in creating a harmonious and cheerful home, working tirelessly alongside the mother to ensure the well-being of the family. Joseph delves into the sacrifices fathers make, often giving their best to their loved ones, and modelling the example of Jesus through servant leadership. The conversation touches upon the essential need for fathers to maintain a strong prayer life, rest and rejuvenation, emphasizing how these practices sustain their efforts and add to their quality of life. Fathers are called to mirror St. Joseph’s dedication, creating a home where Christ and the Holy Spirit reside.
During his reflection on fatherhood, Joseph talks about the role of fathers as modern-day knights seeking to serve and protect their families. This episode also highlights fathers' pivotal roles in nurturing their children's dreams and shaping their futures through visionary leadership and unwavering support. My husband also shares a story of how his father, Rod, guided him through challenging times by steering him towards clear goals and strategic plans. Tune in for a profound understanding of fatherhood rooted in faith, devotion, and mutual respect within the family. Praying for all fathers (earthly and spiritual fathers) on Father's Day! Thank you for your service, God bless!

The Rosary: A Catholic Response to the Olympics with Cassandre Verhelst
Join us on the Veil and Armor podcast as we welcome Cassandre Verhelst, Head of the Anglophone edition of the Hozana App, to share the electrifying atmosphere of Paris, France, during the Olympics.
We delve into the fervour of the locals, the heightened security, and the lifestyle tweaks that come with hosting such a grand event. Cassandre also sheds light on the state of the Catholic Church in France, especially the dynamic involvement of the youth in prayer groups. We also learn about the Hozana App’s features, including spiritual Novenas and a page dedicated to communal prayer intentions.
Are you curious about the true nature of Catholic intercession and the power of the Holy Rosary? Discover the "Rosary Olympics," a unique spiritual challenge inspired by the dedication of Olympic athletes. Listen as we clear misconceptions about worshiping Mary and the saints, and emphasize the concept of intercessory prayer. With the Rosario app, participants can gradually increase their daily prayer commitment, eventually praying a full rosary each day during the Olympics. This communal effort underscores the importance of consistency in prayer, akin to athletic training, and offers tools for building a robust spiritual practice.
How can daily acts of faith anchor your life in gratitude? We explore the beauty of integrating simple prayers and gestures of faith into everyday activities, transforming everyday tasks into moments of spiritual reflection. Celebrate with us the Rosario App’s milestone of Catholics praying 1.5 million decades of the Rosary around the world to Our Lady, resulting in a stunning floral homage of one million roses in Guadalupe, Mexico, on July 31. We also navigate the intersection of faith, technology, and global events, emphasizing the positive impact of online prayer communities. Our next episode features the long-awaited interview with Father Rob Galea, an internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter, and his inspiring journey from desperation to hope in his book "Breakthrough."
Let's Be Brave, Bold, and Be Blessed together with the Veil and Armour community.
