Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life
Sheila Nonato
From former feminist to exploring the Catholic feminine genius:
Learning how to be a "Proverbs 31 Woman" in the Modern World
Authentic conversations about faith, family and femininity.
Are you seeking a joyful, life-changing + Christ-centred vision of motherhood & femininity? Are you seeking authenticity, clarity, and confidence in your vocation as a Christian wife and mother, and seek to understand your husband's role and mission in the family, in his work, and in the world, and your divine calling as parents?
Sheila Nonato is a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom, and an award-winning journalist. Her work has been published by The Catholic Register (Toronto), Postmedia News - Ottawa (National Post), The Jordan Times (Amman), IRIN Middle East (UN news agency), The Canadian Press, The Globe and Mail, China Daily, The Christian Science Monitor
We will explore the Catholic Feminine Genius of women. Is popular culture the only lens within which we can view a woman's worth and purpose? The Catholic vision of motherhood and womanhood presents the "feminine genius," embodying the Christian virtues of service, sacrifice, and lasting joy and fulfillment in our God-given vocation as women, mothers, future mothers and spiritual mothers. We seek to bridge the gap between the understanding of women in the secular world vs. a countercultural Christian vision of a woman's role & power, rooted in the Bible and Church tradition.

8. Blaise Alleyne talks music, technology and Pro-Life Apologetics
Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life
05/17/24 • 33 min
Finding cultural common ground in pro-life issues
When you're navigating life's moral maelstroms, where do you find your anchor? This episode of Veil and Armor seeks to find the beacon in the fog, featuring Blaise Alleyne from the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform. Together, we steer through the tumultuous topics of abortion, euthanasia, and Canada's medically assisted suicide program, also known as (MAID). Blaise higlights the importance of genuine conversation as a suicide prevention tool, sharing how we can tap into our innate regard for human equality and human dignity to show the rational argument of the pro-life stance to people who oppose it. Blaise talks about secular apologetics, where he explores a path that connects through shared values rather than religious rhetoric. It's a journey that promises hope and the ability to shift perspectives with empathy and sound reasoning. He also calls out able-ism, age-ism, and a privileged mindset that is often overlooked in the debate about Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.
Blaise's inspiration: His mother, Julia
Heartfelt stories often strike chords that reason alone cannot reach. In this broadcast, Blaise highlights his mother as his role model for sparking Blaise's inspiration in pro-life apologetics and his pro-life work. His mother, Julia, a sports physician, struggled through high-risk pregnancies. She was recommended abortion, however found a doctor who respected her pro-life conviction.
What is "Heart Apologetics"?
Visuals can disrupt the status quo, as Blaise's blue mohawk hairstyle proves, demonstrating the impact of individuality in serious discourse. This episode reveals that a touch of whimsy can disarm heated debates, allowing us to reconstruct bridges over ideological divides. We delve into "Heart Apologetics," a method of advocacy that is not merely about winning arguments, but about winning hearts. It's about listening with the intent to understand, expressing truths with compassion, and presenting an inspired and compassionate perspective on hot-button issues of our time.

25. The Power of the Rosary, Faith and Friendship: Five years after being given 10 months to live, Tammy Peterson shares her miraculous recovery and her friendship with Queenie Yu
Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life

To Jesus, through Mary: The Friendship Forged in Faith of Tammy Peterson and Queenie Yu
God speaks to us in many ways. From the gorgeous morning sunrise, to the joyful laughter of children, or a hospital visit from an unexpected guest.
God doesn't need any words to let us know of His presence.
We may not be aware of Him, but our Loving Father is communicating to us, reaching out to us, trying to get our attention, because He is calling us to Him.
Sometimes God's voice may be in different forms, and it may even come in the form of our daily crosses.
God waits for us to respond.
And in this powerful story, we hear of one such call and response.
***
When we ask God for miracles, God often sends people around us because we are invited to become instruments of God on this side of Heaven.
Five years ago, Tammy Peterson was given 10 months to live.
Doctors removed half of her left kidney and the cancer surgery was successful, despite the grim prognosis. And then a medical crisis that doctors couldn’t solve which landed her back to the hospital.
Queenie, an acquaintance at the time, came to visit her and brought her a Rosary.
Their friendship blossomed as they prayed the Rosary together at the hospital every morning for five weeks.
Defying all odds, Tammy Peterson survived and thrived in her faith and in her new life mission of seeking and speaking the truth in her podcast.
It was a full circle moment as Mrs. Peterson entered the Catholic Church this past Easter at Holy Rosary Parish in Toronto.
Queenie, a convert herself who introduced Tammy to the faith and to the Rosary accompanied her as her confirmation sponsor.
This story is about the apostolate of friendship, and how newly confirmed Catholic Tammy Mary Peterson was brought to Jesus through Mary.
Join us for Part Two when we look at the Cross and the meaning of sacrifice, and how Tammy's role in the recently launched "We Who Wrestle with God" book tour of her husband, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, was inspired by the search for truth and the perseverance of faith.
Thank you for joining us. God bless!

24. Persevering in Marriage: A Christian Perspective of Depression with Josh Canning
Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life
11/12/24 • 41 min
In this week's episode, we pay tribute to the military and their families, all the holy souls we have lost to war, on this Rememberance Day in Canada and Veterans' Day in the United States.
We are joined by Josh Canning @catholicjosh , Catholic entrepreneur, content creator mental health advocate, and Catholic father of 10 children. Josh talks about the cross of depression and navigating mental illness in his marriage with wife, Lisa Canning, The Possibility Mom, former interior designer on HGTV Canada, and Catholic business coach.
How do you navigate the turbulent waters of mental illness in marriage while staying anchored in faith and hope? Join us as we sit down with Josh Canning, co-founder of "Persevere Together," who courageously shares his personal battle with depression and anxiety. Alongside insightful discussions on Remembrance Day and the sacrifices of soldiers, Josh's story opens up avenues of understanding, showing how vulnerability and seeking help can pave the way for healing and strength. This episode promises a heartfelt exploration of balancing love, mental health, and the powerful role of community support.
The journey of supporting a spouse through mental illness is both challenging and rewarding. As we recount personal stories, the focus shifts to the essential role of mutual support and communication within relationships. We delve into the inspiring work of "Persevere Together," a ministry dedicated to empowering spouses in caregiving roles. Our conversation also highlights our participation in the Bell Let's Talk campaign, emphasizing the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. By sharing these experiences, we aim to offer hope and guidance to those navigating similar paths, reminding them they're never alone.
In our final chapter, we turn to the holistic approach of nurturing mental health through lifestyle changes. From traditional practices like cooking with beef tallow and making bone broth, to the grounding effects of nature, we explore how these simple choices can profoundly impact well-being. We also discuss the pitfalls of technology and the importance of mindful presence during family meals. Josh and Lisa Canning's journey with "Persevere Together" becomes a testament to finding holiness in suffering, ultimately inspiring others to embrace their own paths of growth and transformation. Tune in for a conversation rich in faith, insight, and the courage to persevere together.
