Megan and Morgan discuss the life and witness of the young Italian woman, Chiara Corbella Petrillo. Born in the 1980’s, Chiara was a woman of our times who embraced life as a gift and the sufferings that come with it as a joy. In choosing life for her unborn children despite hopeless diagnoses she learned true peace in letting God receive her children in His time. When faced with a fatal cancer in herself while pregnant for the 3rd time, she willingly put off treatment until her son was born. Her life was short and she passed away in 2012. Chiara ultimately sacrificed her own life to protect the life of her child. Hers is a witness of simple and true heroism. The joy she bore in the midst of extreme suffering makes her story worth knowing, sharing, and emulating.

Megan and Morgan continue their dialogue about the redeemed state of man, particularly the notion that there will be no marriage in heaven. The natural response to this notion may be one of sadness or confusion. Yet, the meaning of this future reality does not negate the importance of married love on earth, but reveals the real purpose of marriage as a path to achieving man's destiny in union with God. We discuss ways that this knowledge can lead to a deepening of love in marriage and family life as two people live in accord with the beautiful purpose and end of marriage.

Megan and Morgan discuss the REDEMPTION of man. Christianity has been accused of rejecting one's life on earth for the sake of waiting for the enjoyment of the afterlife, particularly as seen through the witness of the vocation to consecrated virginity. However, John Paul II expresses that this posture of embracing the life to come when man will be in his "redeemed" state, is a positive renunciation for the sake of greater participation in the love of God here on earth. And while consecrated virginity signifies this state to come, all people are called to enjoy a foretaste of the redemption of the body now. Watch this episode to hear more!
