I would like to praise good women whom I have met in the past three years. These are Catholic women on the blogs, in parishes, on twitter, at work places, who have put Christ first in their lives and follow Him just as the first women who followed Christ.
I am thinking of those women who pray daily, and study the Scriptures. I am thinking of those good women who work in creches, they work in RCIA, they work in coffee mornings, and never get any praise.
I praise those women who organize their children's lives, and who make their husband's lives easy, allowing them to have a hour of prayer, read Scripture, and pray with the children.
These women are humble, and do not look for praise, but only want to love God and His own.
These women do not contracept, and work for pro-life, even quietly. Some stand outside of abortion clinics weekly praying and counseling. One is there even as I write.
These women say rosaries waiting in the clinics, in shopping lines. These women watch over the education of their children, making sure they get orthodox teaching until they leave home.
These women pray, and pray, and pray.
These are the women of God.
