May the Blessed Virgin help men and women in our time
clearly understand God’s plan for femininity.
Called to the highest vocation of divine motherhood,
Our Lady is the exemplary woman. . . .
May Mary obtain for women throughout the world
an enlightened and active awareness
of their dignity, gifts, and mission.
– John Paul II –

*These words from Blessed John Paul II, gave me the organizing principle for my new book — on the dignity, gifts, and mission of women — with great zeal for its Marian dimensions. The book, Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious: Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Womanhood is on sale today at Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. Ask for it at your local Catholic bookseller or order it from Ave Maria Press.
