Another Much Needed Exhortation to Women

Regardless of vocation, the essay, "Femininity: Developing a Biblical Perspective," from the book Biblical Womanhood in the Home, is a delightful and, may I say, greatly needed exhortation to women of our time. It is along the lines of the Theology of the Body and the Theology of the Family, and reiterates the complementary design of our female creation. I encourage women of all ages to read it here.

On a side note, I would have added Mass and or Adoration to Biblical study in the Mother's weekly "Morning Away," as they are extremely rejuvenating to my soul.

NFP Awareness Week 2009

This year's Natural Family Planning Awareness Week is July 19th through the 25th. The national campaign is put forth by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to further the exposure of NFP. Annually, it purposely coincides with the anniversary of the encyclical of Pope Paul VI, Humanae Vitae, and the Feast day of Saints Joachim and Anne on the 25th and 26th of July respectively. For more information on this campaign, in addition to prayers and homily notes, visit the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website here.
