Mary: The Model of the Feminine Genius and Catholic Women’s Leadership
11:00 - 12:30“But the hour is coming, in fact has come, when the vocation of woman is being achieved in its fullness, the hour in which woman acquires in the world an influence, an effect and a power never hitherto achieved. That is why, at this moment when the human race is under-going so deep a transformation, women impregnated with the spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid mankind in not falling…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.” – Closing of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Address of Pope Paul VI, To Women Women are called to bring the life of Christ to the world. The Blessed Virgin Mary best models for us how to permeate our culture with the living Word of God. She perfectly demonstrates “the feminine genius,” that of living out our physical and spiritual maternity in the world. The Church needs women to embrace this mission to bring lasting transformation in our day and time as Mary did in hers.
