“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”
We are kicking off #HolyPeople: A Celebration of Pentecost, with this story by Joanna Wahlund of The Catholic Working Mother.
“Joanna was baptized, raised, and married in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America but converted to Catholicism in May 2003, on G.K. Chesterton’s birthday. She has six terrific kids here on earth, four saints in heaven praying for her, and a wonderful husband who supports her in all things. She enjoys defending the Catholic faith online (in between her duties as chief cook and bottle washer for La Casa Wahlund, and her role as Senior Editor of Catholic Stand). She blogs at http://www.patheos.com/blogs/thecatholicworkingmother/. She is also the author of a book tentatively titled “The Catholic Working Mother,” which will be released by Our Sunday Visitor Press in Spring 2019.”
