March 8 has been one of my favorite days of the year since I was a little girl, and that is true for one main reason—it’s my birthday! But at some point in college, after I had already realized that I had a passion for women and a desire to serve women with the teachings of John Paul II, Edith Stein, etc., I also discovered that it is International Women’s Day! Coincidence? I think not.
There is so much I could say about this, and I hope to share more with you this month about the vocation of woman and about her unique role in this world. But for today, I thought it the perfect time to share with you a talk I gave last year to a room full of women. While speak most often to women, it is rare to speak at an event where the intentional purpose is to gather women together from every age group and life season.
There is so much we can learn from each other as women—no matter our age—and I was honored to be able to share that day on the theme of “Generations of Love.”
I hope you enjoy this talk, which really invites each of us to understand more deeply our call as women and the ways that we can bring life into this world, simply by being who we are.
(“Generations of Love” was originally delivered and recorded on May 3, 2025 at a women’s brunch in Canyon Lake, TX.)
