“I am confident that the Holy Spirit is sending down His gifts of fiery tongues on the Church today – and with emphasis on the women. He is inspiring them to follow in Mary’s footsteps and do for the beleaguered faithful in our day what she did for the infant Church in her day. Time and again our Holy Father has appealed to the faithful women as they stand beneath Christ’s bleeding Mystical Body to carry on Mary’s role as Mother of the Church in our time.”
-The Apostolate of Women by Fr. John Hardon, S.J.

“Reconcile men with life and above all, we beseech you, watch carefully over the future of our race. Hold back the hand of man, who, in a moment of folly, might attempt to destroy human civilization… Women of the entire universe… you to whom life is entrusted at this grave moment in history, it is for you to save the peace of the world.”
-Closing Message to Women, Second Vatican Council

“The hour is coming, in fact has come, when the vocation of woman is being acknowledged in its fullness, the hour in which women acquire in the world an influence, an effect, and a power never hitherto achieved. That is why, at this moment when the human race is undergoing so deep a transformation, women impregnated with a spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid humanity in not falling.”
-Closing Message to Women, Second Vatican Council

“To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her."
-Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen

“How rare it is to find a valiant woman! It is perhaps necessarily so, since Scripture says that they are more precious than pearls and diamonds. Let us, however, work to train a few.”
-St. Madeline Sophie Barat
by Theresa Cavicchio, OFSThe few references in Sacred Scripture concerning Joseph of Nazareth reveal him as far more a man of action than of words. In fact, nowhere do we find direct quotes which would help us to discern the character of this most unique of men – one tasked with the most unique of responsibilities.

“Your example, even more than your words, will be an eloquent witness to the world.”
