As Catholic women, a number of questions surface each day that are meant to make us pause and contemplate. We ask ourselves: What is God encouraging me to do?; Who is in my life and for what reason?; How can I serve God better today?; Am I allowing something from the past to hold me back from serving Jesus?; Do I have a grateful attitude?; Do I encourage and welcome the guidance of the Holy Spirit?; Do I enthusiastically embrace my Feminine Genius?; Am I joyfully pursuing my purpose?; Do I spend enough time in silence so that I can be more fully aware of God`s call upon my life? Connecting with the past allows us to answer these questions and thus live more fully in the present. Understanding the Jewish roots of our faith`s traditions and teachings-baptism, feminism, work, mysticism-help us live it more completely and defend it most accurately. See why the Matriarchs are the ideal role models for today`s Catholic women and learn to love your authentic self!
