Women's History Month 2018

[Catholic_Lady]

Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you become God's own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child's first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life.

Thank you, women who are wives! You irrevocably join your future to that of your husbands, in a relationship of mutual giving, at the service of love and life.

Thank you, women who are daughters and women who are sisters! Into the heart of the family, and then of all society, you bring the richness of your sensitivity, your intuitiveness, your generosity and fidelity.

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 a model of life ever open to the sense of "mystery", to the establishment of economic and political structures ever more worthy of humanity.

Thank you, consecrated women! Following the example of the greatest of women, the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, you open yourselves with obedience and fidelity to the gift of God's love. You help the Church and all mankind to experience a "spousal" relationship to God, one which magnificently expresses the fellowship which God wishes to establish with his creatures.

Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman! Through the insight which is so much a part of your womanhood you enrich the world's understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic.

-Pope JPII

Does anybody else think it's hilarious that McDonald's flipped the M in honor of the month? It just seems so random lmao

Stupid symbolic acts that get you headlines is what we've decided to celebrate.  We'll arbitrarily roast McDonalds on this one, but that's just bad luck for them, because usually this kind of dumb shit pays off more often than not.

I'm not a feminist but I would like to have more women like her....

Have you seen the movie Madame Curie (1943)?  If not, then IMO, you may enjoy it.

IIRC, the ones that were flipped are women owned.

I went to a couple of women's lacrosse games this week, and will likely go watch women's tennis on Saturday. Today is the first I've heard about women's month or women's day, but right on.

Go.
