“[E]mphasis should be placed on the ’genius of women,’ not only … famous women

of the past or present, but also those ordinary women who reveal the gift of their

womanhood by placing themselves at the service of others in their everyday lives. For in giving themselves to others each day women fulfill their deepest vocation.” — St. John Paul II

… to all the women who helped with so many small, hidden duties, giving the gift

of yourselves to prepare a day of prayer, speakers, friendship, and more!
