As we begin this month, just after the Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time, we settle into the cold winter nights with the days beginning to be just a little longer each day.
This month we look to just how counter cultural religious life is to a secular society that reduces women to objects to be used; instead of a child of God to be loved.
Here is his intention as printed in this month’s issue of ‘the Word Among Us’:
The Special Intention of Pope Francis
Lord Jesus,
Throughout February, we lift up all religious sisters and consecrated women.
We pray for every one of these women.
We thank them for their mission and their courage.
May they continue to find new responses to the challenges of our times.
