“But the hour is coming, in fact has come, in which woman acquires in the world an influence, an effect and a power never hitherto achieved. That is why, at this moment when the human race is under-going so deep a transformation, women impregnated with the spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid mankind in not falling.”
- Pope Paul VI
Hello, women of campus!
The ladies of FUS Women’s Ministry are so excited to be able to share our ministry with you in this new and personal way. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, comments, and feedback!
Our most important ministry goal is the formation of women on campus, and in doing so it is our hope that they may become “women impregnated with the spirit of the Gospel” who are equipped to develop healthy relationships with God, themselves, and others. We can all attest to the fact that we live in a world in which an understanding of the particular essence and identity of woman has been obscured and confused. We seek to restore this by cultivating within every woman a proper understanding and appreciation of what Blessed John Paul II called “the feminine genius.” It is our desire that every woman comes to appreciate her unique feminine intellect as well as her distinct call to harmonize and properly order her God-given reason and emotions. We seek to emulate the virtues of Our Blessed Mother, and we look to the women saints as examples of “femininity transformed by grace.” Through their example, we also yearn to come to a greater knowledge of our prophetic role as women.
Please know that we pray for you constantly and that we want to get to know you! That being said, we would love you to come to our events this semester so that we can know you and serve you better! God bless you all!
Marta
