The Prophets - Messengers of God's Mercy

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is His Bride, then the prophets can be seen as "spiritual marriage counselors." They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our convenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom, and show us how to share him with others.

Through Christ's suffering on the cross in the Paschal Mystery and His perpetual reception of His people in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God makes His love, His very self, present to us in the world.

Letter to Women

This is perhaps our most popular and foundational study for women first experiencing Endow. Answering many questions for modern Catholic women this letter, written for the occasion of the 1995 Fourth United Nations Conference on Women, acquaints us with the thought of John Paul II and is a good introduction to the Christian concept of woman and her indispensable role in the Church, the family, society, and the world.

Ultimate Makeover, the transforming power of motherhood - Book Study
