Christianity is a message of life, a message based on
the gratuitous love of the Father for us.
«Therefore the Church gives thanks for each and every woman: for mothers, for sisters, for wives; for women consecrated to God in virginity; for women dedicated to the many human beings who await
the gratuitous love of another person; for women who watch over the human persons in the family, which is the fundamental sign of the human community; for women who work professionally, and who at times are burdened by a great social responsibility; for «perfect» women and for «weak» women - for all women as they have come forth from the heart of God in all the beauty and richness of their femininity; as they have been embraced by his eternal love; as, together with men, they are pilgrims on this earth, which is the temporal «homeland» of all people and is transformed sometimesinto a «valley of tears»; as they assume, together with men, a common responsibility for the destiny of humanity according to daily necessities and according to that definitive destiny which the human family has in God himself, in the bosom of the ineffable Trinity.»
In Christ we can see revealed with total clarity how the whole cosmos, and every aspect of creaturely existence, depends on
the gratuitous love, yet utterly coherent Wisdom of the Creator.
