For any Catholic or non Catholic Christian who has watched EWTN over the years you have seen the iconic Bob & Penny Lord series. Bob and Penny Lord were world renowned travelers that brought the secrets, joys, and wonders of Catholicism to the living rooms of millions of people during their lives. Estimates of the number of souls that they redeemed and saved through their ministry is likely in the tens of thousands or more. I just received news that Penny Lord has passed away. She died last night January 21st at 8:32pm. She suffered from a long illness that brought about her holy death last night. I for one loved all her and Bob’s books. She was a light in the darkness to many and she will be missed.
Penny was always solid in her theology and understanding of Church teaching. If you haven’t read any of her books or watched her videos. You need to get your hands on some of her awe inspiring literature. You can find her works here: Penny Lord For a time in the lives of Bob & Penny they had left the Church after the untimely death of their son, only to return at the beckoning call of Our Lord. They were two dearly devoted people who spent their lives serving God and converting souls. I pray that Penny receives her just award in heaven. May the angels guide her into the arms our Jesus.
I will update my blog as I hear more news on her death. Eternal rest grant unto Penny Lord O’ God and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

Very sad, they both did amazing work.
Thank you God for such a wonderful servant for us - for You!!!
That is the most beautiful play on things for a picture I have ever seen. Because of the life she gave him, it just makes such perfect sense.
Lord Jesus, rest the soul of Thy servant Penny with the saints.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the company of saints in Heaven, amen.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
RIP Penny Lord.
Their books are easy readings. I especially loved the ones on the Santo Nino, Blessed Virgin Mary, saints.
RIP.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
May God now grant her great peace and absolute joy!
(Their books on the Eucharistic miracles are wonderful.)
Thanks for the hint.
I remember watching the episode about St.Clare of Montefalco. I believe that an autopsy after her death showed symbols of Christ’s passion on her heart, such as a scourge and the crown of thorns. There was some controversy about this though Clare is incorrupt with only her hands darkening a bit over the years.
