that genius which belongs to women...

"The frenetic pace of modern life can lead to an obscuring or even a loss of what is truly human... Perhaps more than in other periods of history, our time is in need of that genius which belongs to women, and which can ensure sensitivity for human beings in every circumstance."

- Blessed (Pope) John Paul II

The gift of silence...

God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen.
And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be....
- Mother Teresa
