God has a specific plan for woman. He has given her a holy mission, a holy call.

    We are praying for the grace of authentic femininity and spiritual Motherhood.

Woman - Fearfully and
 Wonderfully Made

"It is not simply an accident of nature that my unique personal selfhood was meant to be clothed, as it were, in a female body … God has chosen from all eternity that I will be a feminine creature … Prayerful pondering of the mystery of creation brings a woman to consider what role God may have chosen for her in his Kingdom, on earth and in heaven."  Dr. Ronda Chervin

Dear Lord,
From all eternity you chose for me to be a woman. Why? What is it about my femininity that will lead me closer to you? How can my femininity bring your life to the world? I desire to know more about womanhood and how I can experience the fullness of my feminine call. Teach me your truth about my gender. Amen.

Scripture Passage for Meditation: 
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you …"  (Jeremiah 1:5). RSV

Daily Reflection:
· God’s actions are deliberate. He chose for me to have life and He gave me life out of love. Are there any potential circumstances of my birth that would seek to convince me otherwise? What are they? How does this revelation of my “selection” by the Father change my perspective? 

· Everything about me was God’s deliberate choice – even my gender. Are there issues I need to resolve about my femininity? Name them. What can I do to overcome them? 

· Read the last sentence of Dr. Chervin’s quote. It suggests that my gift of femininity has a role in the world and in eternity. What might this role be? Consider this in light of my current life and in light of eternity. How does this concept broaden my perspective of my gender?

· How do I see my femininity as being “consecrated?” In what ways can my femininity lead me closer to God?
