It is a woman who cuddled,nursed and handled God Incarnate for the
first time, and for many times, before anyone in the world really knew
Him, and much before He was given to our priests and bishops of today to
handle.
It was the women who had the courage to stand By His Cross when everyone else deserted Him.
It was the women who took pains to go to His tomb with myrr and spices to anoint His Holy body when all others were gripped with fear and terror.
It was a woman who announced the Resurrected Lord to the world, before anyone saw Him risen.
It was a woman who taught us the value in praying persistently even in hopelessness, reminding us that even dogs get to eat what falls from the Master's table.
And even today, it is a woman we turn to, after the Lord's prayer, to help take our prayers to His Majestic presence. She is the most precious queen among all the precious saints.
We do not give enough credit to the women folk who were right in the middle of the movement that shook the world and transformed it like never before. They were right in the thick of things during the birth and growth of the Christian revolution. Thanks for that.
Happy Woman's day!
