I’ve had several conversations with friends recently which have prompted me to start this project. Maybe it’s because we’re in our twenties and soul searching comes with the territory, but we have a shared desire to be able to articulate an authentic femininity. We’re all skeptical to varying degrees about what the culture proclaims as the truth about what it means to be a woman. And we also find ourselves struggling to resonate with some of the voices within our own Catholic tradition. So I want to take a page out of the Protestant playbook and turn ad fontes – to the sources. I want to take a close look at the women of the Bible and see what they have to teach us about femininity. This will be the place where I share those reflections, and probably other related thoughts as well.
I hope this can be a space where we can learn from each other. Please leave comments and share your own insights too! If there is anything good that comes of this, then all glory be to God.
