Renee Hendrix has worked in the intensive care unit for a number of years serving families whose babies are born with serious medical issues. Raised in a strong Baptist faith, and formed by the likes of such spiritual giants as Billy Graham, Renee found that the Catholic Church’s teaching on the meaning of redemptive suffering brought her to a greater understanding of the importance of her work- not just with sick infants, but with the imprisoned, and those who, like her, have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
If you enjoyed Renee’s visit to The Journey Home, watch the following video short produced by Kleenex, which features Renee’s work with the least of these- babies with a slim chance of ever leading a normal life. And try to do so without having Kleenex (or the off-brand facial tissue of your choice) handy. It has about 4 million views on YouTube so far:

Loved Renee’s coming home story as well as her Kleenex story. I cried and cried for both….Renee is truly doing God’s work for these families. She has inspired me! I too am an RN and just went through Chemo for Breast cancer….I asked many times for God to place me where he wants me….still listening and praying. Thank you for sharing.
When I hear a story of love and conversion like Renee’s, it helps me to appreciate my faith so much. God bless you Renee and welcome home.
I was born into the Catholic faith but hearing Renee’s story tonight was so powerful and it brought me to tears many times and the Kleenex video just topped it all off. What an inspiration and a blessing you are, Renee! I hope she get’s to read her messages. May Jesus and Mary always walk with you through this life showering you with special blessings and love. What a wonderful story about a wonderful person! Thank You!!!
Such an impactful journey into the fullness of the Church! Her love for Jesus and for others was very moving. It touched my heart. God be with you always, our sister in Christ. Welcome home!
I just watched Renee’s story on Journey Home. What an awesome life, what great service! …and like our Holy Mother, Mary, you said “Yes.” By your actions you have said, ‘ I only want to do the will of my Father ‘. You are an inspiration, Renee!
Thank you for having Renee Hendrix on your show and for the video of all the babies she cared for. She is truly an inspiration for all of us.

I loved Renee’s story. What was the title of the prayer book that she found at the bookstore?
Renee is right. You need Kleenex to watch this video. I cannot even put it into words how this video has affected me. I have never ever ever seen anything like this that was so moving and touches ones heart so deeply. Renee, your soul magnifies the Lord. So amazing and so wonderful…..these beautiful babies and their parents have you right there when they need you so badly. Blessed Be God..Blessed Be His Holy Name

I was watching the JH and you as their guest I was so touched and moved by your testimony especially when you discussed the Holy Eucharist (the body blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. I kept on crying and crying and I pray that more people will be converted so we attained peace just like we have experienced in the Blessed Sacrament.More power to your show Marcus and to you Renee for sharing your story to us….what a great inspiration of the Holy Spirit.God Bless!

I just watched a recording of the Journey Home with Renée! At the beginning of the show Marcus stated that he was especially excited to have her on the show. I knew at that moment this was going to be something special to watch. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the JH Shows and receive many blessings watching the weekly shows and so look forward to viewing them. Renée’s story was especially touching and I too cried both during the show and watching the Kleenex commercial. Week after week I give thanks to God the Father for sending the Holy Spirit into so many peoples lives in bringing them into the Catholic Church. Marcus I am so grateful for the ministry that you do! Thank you! Renée your soul magnifies the Lord! Thank you for sharing!
I had a really difficult time not crying on this one
Is there a chance her episode will be available online soon? We had storms in our area & we didn’t get to record it! Thank you!
As soon as EWTN posts her episode on YouTube, we will have it on our website.
I appreciate your answer! I’m looking forward to it!
I loved this story! I was wondering if anyone got the name of the devotional that Renee mentioned in her interview. It sounded as if it would be a devotional worth locating!
i like the journey home because is about every day people and the extraordinary in the ordinary.
It was The Miracle Hour by Linda Schubert. Hope that helps!
Oh I just saw your episode Renee, and now the Kleenex commercial and you got me in tears. Wouldn’t you know it, not a tissue to be found. God bless you, and welcome to our wonderful faith.
How your life and your story inspires me to be the person God wants me to be. Thank you for cleaning those. bathroom floors. We all need to be more humble and obedient to Our God.
