“Everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall exalted.”

                                     -Galatians 2:20

For Reflection:

In my own life, what instances can I recall where I was toppled by my own pride? What instances can I recall when I was “exalted” when I least expected it? How can I use these experiences to grow in humility?

The Special Call and Gift of Woman

The Reality of Spiritual Motherhood

By virtue of the gift of our gender, each of us is intended to be “mother”. Just as our bodies have been created with the capacity to bear physical life, our souls have been especially created by God to bring spiritual life to the world. Thus, our call to motherhood is in no way diminished or negated by a life of celibacy or an inability to physically bear children.  All women are meant to bring life.
