Four women from different corners of their world with one thing in common: we are all consecrated by the Catholic Church as virgins living in the world. Join us - Karen Ervin, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce, Simi Sahu and Dawn Hausmann - as we share how we live this ancient vocation in a modern world.
"To be a woman is to love and to suffer." Is this not a demeaning statement to make about the vocation of woman? Karen, Simi, Hannah and Dawn talk about discovering the fullness of life and of womanhood. They talk about the risks of the opposite of bridal surrender: pettiness and self-absorption. The bride of Christ is completely surrendered when she is "totally occupied with what we are supposed to be doing" (p27).
We continue our book study of “My Beloved Is Mine and I Am His: Meditations on Brideship” - by Mother Mary Francis PCC, particularly the sections All the Days of Her Life, Nurturing, and Complete Surrender.

Key quote: "A woman is most a woman when she is giving: giving her service, giving herself. A nun [or consecrated virgin] is most a nun when the fullness of her surrender to God is evidenced in her consuming desire to give her energies to souls." p33
