Girls' Faith Sharing Night

Living together as a community can be difficult at times; however, this past weekend, the ladies of Spiritus were able to come together and share some important aspects of our faith.  Our evening started out by breaking some hefty loaves of garlic bread.  Afterwards, we were able to gather together with lovely pieces of melty chocolate, a crisp bottle of pink Moscato wine, a few beautifully lit candles, and copies of Pope John Paul II’s Genius ofWomen. 

This was our time to discuss the importance of our feminine nature and also discuss the complementarity of men and women—which is an important aspect of living in community. We are always discussing the antics of the boys and how crazy they are. :P

Pope John Paul II, in his teaching on the feminine genius, highlighted the importance of identifying the dignity that all women deserve.  As women of God, our group of girls discussed how important it is for us as women to spread this news to other women—especially in today’s society.

All I can say is how fortunate I am to live with a wonderful and spiritual group of women.  Being able to discuss the importance of being a woman and understand what our genius is is essential to in our efforts to minister to girls of all ages but especially the youth.

So this blog post is basically my way of shouting out to the girls of Spiritus. Thank you so much for being awesome!
