“If I love Jesus, I ought to resemble Him. If I love Jesus, I ought to love what He loves, what He prefers to all else: humility.”
                 

                   -St. Peter Julian Eymard

The Special Call and Gift of Woman

As women, we are called to real life. But just as the seed lies hidden beneath the surface of the soil, so our real life is often shrouded and unseen. Buried deep within the confines of our inner being, our life bearing potential needs the gentle rain of grace and the soft rich soil of truth to grow and flourish.  As we surrender to the soaking presence of God’s grace active within us, like the rain, the gift of our womanhood brings not only physical life, but spiritual life as well. This is the call of woman:  to infuse all the world with life.
