A Unique Quality of Woman


June 11

“A quality unique to woman is her singular sensitivity to moral values and an abhorrence of all which is low and mean; this quality protects her against the dangers of seduction and total surrender to sensuality.”

-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

Not for the perfect ones


June 10

       “Yes, we are all sinners, but let us never forget that we are saved sinners. It is obvious that we are going to stumble a million times between our birth and death. But when we look at the Gospel, we see immediately that God came, not for the perfect ones, but for sinners. That means each one of us.”
— Catherine Doherty
