Catholic Evangelist & Speaker
Kelly Wahlquist is a dynamic and inspiring Catholic speaker whose gift of weaving personal stories and Scripture together with practical advice allows her audience to enter more fully into what Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict have called us into - to be witnesses of our faith and part of the New Evangelization.
On the 8th anniversary of his entrance into heaven, a successor pays the tomb of Blessed John Paul II a visit to ask for his intercession. Incredible to see this picture and to know that Pope Emeritus Benedict was bending his friend John Paul's ear today too... and why wouldn't they?
Can you picture Blessed John Paul II turning with that big smile of his and saying to Our Lady, "Let's go talk to your Son about the needs of two of my buddies." :)
“What a joy it is to announce this message: Christ is risen! "
“We too, like the women who were Jesus’ disciples, who went to the tomb and found it empty, may wonder what this event means (cf. Lk 24:4). What does it mean that Jesus is risen? It means that the love of God is stronger than evil and death itself; it means that the love of God can transform our lives and let those desert places in our hearts bloom. God's love can do this.” ~Pope Francis, Easter 2013
How great that Mary Magdalene was the first to announce that message to the apostles! I love that! At a time when a women's testimony wouldn't hold up in a court of law, Jesus trusts the greatest news of all time to a woman! Beautiful!
Happy Easter my friends!
