“Obedience raises us beyond the limits of our littleness and puts us in harmony with God’s will. Obedience is the one and the only way of wisdom and prudence for us to offer glory to God.”

For Reflection: How have I experienced the truth of these words in my own life? How will this help me continue to exercise obedience?

INTRODUCTION

The Church Fathers teach that the Church is necessary for salvation, and the Church is consistently spoken of by them as a woman--an exalted bride and mother. This bride and mother has a responsibility for redemption in which feminine symbolism, far from being disparaged by the Fathers, is essential to salvation in Christ.
