Pray for the success of the Luncheons

 

To Women

“Thank you women who work! You are present and active in every area of life – social, economic, cultural, artistic and political. In this way you make an indispensable contribution to the growth of a culture which unites reason and feeling, … to the establishment of economic and political structures ever more worthy of humanity.”
-John Paul II
(Letter to Women)

 

“In the Spirit of Christ … women can discover the meaning of their femininity and thus be disposed to making a ‘sincere gift of self’ to others, thereby finding themselves.”
-John Paul II
