WHAT ADULTS SAY

    I pray that you’ll join me in supporting Voice of Virtue’s spiritually solid programs that save thousands of young people from the tragedies of impurity and abortion.
    As a Bishop, every day I see the devastation that sin wreaks upon souls, homes, marriages, children and nations. Only by teaching millions of boys and girls to live chaste, virtuous, holy lives can we end abortion and rebuild Christian society.
    — Most Rev. John W. Yanta, Bishop of Amarillo, Texas

    Voice of Virtue International reaches our teens and their families. Your voice has persisted for years with the same consistent message of virtue, common sense and Catholic moral living. In your voice you show your deep faith, your joy and inspiration that captivates both young people and parents alike.
    Your voice to the youth has been clear and direct: God loves you deeply and already knows that you want to be good. He desires your happiness and has a roadmap for you — be chaste, practice virtue, and be prayerful. If you follow this roadmap, you will be ready for a happy and holy marriage, thus avoiding the sins of impurity and their terrible evil consequences.
    The Culture of Death places our young people under a constant assault, pushes them to forget God, lose faith, family and drives them to sin. Young people deserve our help and compassion. Voice of Virtue International is uplifting to our young people. Your message of holiness gives hope to their lives which are being challenged.
    Keep up your voice of hope.
    Sincerely yours in Christ,
    — Placido Rodriguez, CMF, Bishop of Lubbock, Texas

    God has given Barbara an amazing gift for reaching today’s poorly catechized Catholic kids.
    — Fr. Joseph Fessio, SJ, Founder of Ignatius Press;

    Barbara’s work for the youth and parents helps to fill a “virtue void” that permeates much of our culture today.

    Barbara’s teaching on Christian virtue is the soundest basis one can have for both spiritual and psychological health.

    Given the challenges youth face today, it’s encouraging to know Barbara McGuigan’s teaching on virtue can help youth live up to any challenge.
    — Fr. James LeBar, Author

    Barbara McGuigan has a true gift; the ability to awaken young people’s hearts, minds, and souls to the goodness and beauty of God’s plan for Love and Life.

        speaker and former juvenile detention chaplain

    Thank you so much for The Cross and the Crown Rosary CD. It is so beautiful. The meditations you wrote are truly inspired by God. I'm looking forward to years of many Rosaries, praying with my family, working with the Blessed Mother to raise holy and pure children -- by the Grace of God.
    May God continue to bless you as you travel around the world spreading His truth of Love and Life.
    — Laurie Shepherdson, wife and mother of 7 children

    Oh how you blessed us on Friday at Holy Family Catholic High School. The girls and I carried in all of the treasures we received from you (besides what was in our hearts) to T.G.I.F. for lunch. Eagerly, we talked about the joy your presence fills a room with.
    Later in the week, I was driving home from a college visit with the girls and saw Kelly in head phones as usual. As we arrived at the college, she showed me the CD cover. It was the Rosary CD from you. She said, "Mom, I really like this." It was a memory-making moment. Thank you, thank you!
    — Debbie Reetz, a mother who attended one of
        Barbara’s retreats at Holy Family Catholic H.S.
        with her twin daughters

    I am still in awe of you and your great work. God surely blessed me by allowing our paths to cross. Thank you for your witness and generosity shown to me. Be assured of a constant remembrance when listening to the Rosary CD and praying with your Chastity Commitment Cross.
    — Margaret English, from Lancashire, England

    McGuigan, a singularly cheerful and vibrant speaker, begins her pro-life rosary journey at the Annunciation and Mary's assent to God's will... Her story is remarkable in its ordinariness... McGuigan arrives at the Glorious Mysteries like a runner approaching a prize... Living the Pro-Life Mysteries is a triumph in its own right.
     With Barbara McGuigan as teacher, anyone with an open heart and a clear mind can learn from Mary's prayer, the rosary, how to live for life --- which is the only truly human way to survive and thrive in a culture that often seems to love death more than its alternative.

        Catholic Register, May 3, 2003, “The Pro-Life Rosary:
        Just Press Play”

    Barbara you are doing so much beautiful work for God. I am going to be employing Hayley a beautiful young lady who has been to all of your presentations here and was inspired by you. I would just love her to see you as she will be with us full time and could do much to promote Voice of Virtue down here. It would be a wonderful experience for her and would enthuse her even more.
     You are a real blessing to us all Barbara.
