“O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens…What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.”
-Psalm 8:2, 5-6
Today’s Reflection:
Woman participates in a unique way in God’s sovereign role of Creator. How does this specially “crown” the female person with God’s glory?

“The woman’s humanity is realized in the specific ways of a woman. She is a complete human being no less than the man, but according to her own nature. Her sex is not a mere accidental condition that could be abstracted. Her sex, on the contrary, is a reality that fundamentally defines her being and action and corresponds to the specific design of the Creator. Her physical and psychological qualities proclaim clearly what it truly means to be woman.”
-Jutta Burggraf
Today’s Reflection:
What does femininity mean to me?

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born
I consecrated you.”
-Jeremiah 1:5
Today’s Reflection:
Everything about me was God’s deliberate choice – even my gender. Are there any issues I need to resolve about my femininity?
