“Women, you do know how to make truth sweet, tender and accessible, make it your task to bring the spirit of this council into institutions, schools, homes and daily life. Women of the entire universe, whether Christian or non-believing, you to whom life is entrusted at this grave moment in history, it is for you to save the peace of the world.”
-To Women, Vatican Council II Closing Speeches and Messaged, Pope Paul VI
Today’s Reflection:
Do you believe Church fathers when they say “it is for you to save the peace of the world?” What is one practical daily strategy you can employ help the world to be more peaceful?

For the service of all

“And you, women living alone, realize what you can accomplish through your dedicated vocation. Society is appealing to you on all sides. Not even families can live without the help of those who have no families. Especially you, consecrated virgins, in a world where egoism and the search for pleasure would become law, be the guardians of purity, unselfishness and piety. Jesus who has given to conjugal love all its plenitudes has also exalted the renouncement of human love when this is for the sake of divine love and for the service of all…”
-To Women, Vatican Council II Closing Speeches and Messages, Pope Paul VI
Today’s Reflection:
Single women, consecrated virgins, and nuns play a special role in the Church. Reach out today and let a sacred sister know how much you care for and appreciate her and her contribution to your friendship, family and/or to the Church.
