Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World
There were many women in Jesus’ life—both followers and cherished friends. This fact had not been true of any other Jewish prophet. What did women see in Jesus? What did Jesus see in these women? Throughout the centuries there have been women who followed Jesus’ example and teachings. As a result, they were able to change their own lives for the better and empower others to do the same.
This week-end we will spend time with women such as Mary Magdalene, Ruth of the Hebrew Scriptures, Thea Bowman, Dorothy Day, Sue Monk Kidd, Josephine Bakhita, and several others. What did Jesus mean to them? How did they allow Jesus to help change their lives through living the gospel?
Are we allowing Jesus to love us into transformation in our every day lives? Throughout this week-end we will have time for listening, praying, and sharing, as well as opportunity for Mass, Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Sacrament of the Anointing.
