Growing in “God’s style”....Pope Benedict XVI directs us......

How do we women of ENDOW see ourselves? Do we live according to the “style of pagans” or to the “style of God?” In speaking to a group of his former students about this past Sunday’s gospel, Pope Benedict teaches the about the divine style. As reported in an article in Zenit The Pope says “ ‘The style of God is different....He invites us to his table, we who are lame, blind and deaf; he invites us who have nothing to give him.’" (read full article)

The Pope explains how we experience the divine style....”above all in the Eucharist, during which we are called to allow ourselves to be touched by gratitude to God, who invites us to his table even though we are full of faults.”


Might this be a nudge to encourage adding daily mass (or an additional mass or two a week) into our weekly worship of God? Arise and GO.....to experience divine style...at mass when we ask for forgiveness.... “a forgiveness that changes us, that makes us more similar to God, in his image and likeness." Come Holy Spirit!

Holiness Never Goes Out of Style


The Holy Father has some good fashion advice for all of us ENDOW women: Holiness never goes out of style.

Catholic News Agency explains: "The Holy Father dedicated his Sunday homily to reflections on the life of St. Celestine as he visited the Italian city where the relics of the 13th century saint and Pope are kept. In a message filled with lessons on life, the Pope especially highlighted the importance of silence to finding God, the fact that faith is a gift and the lasting power of holiness."
