Friar: The church and society Jesus wanted can only be built with women participating

 

Br. Luis David Perez, a Discalced Carmelite friar, speaks to a group of mostly women at Casa Santa Teresa retreat center April 7 near San Ramón, Costa Rica. The friar made a special plea to recognize the role of women in the church and society, while also pointing out rising levels of violence against them in Costa Rica and around the world.

Friar: The church and society Jesus wanted can only be built with women participating

It seemed like an apt thing for a spiritual son of St. Teresa of Ávila to say, "The history of the church has been made by you, women, and while you suffered." It still was a surprising thing for me to hear from a man at the ambo.
