A Letter to the Woman Discovering the Feminine Genius // Melissa Maleski

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Melissa Maleski and we’re talking about what Saint Pope John Paul II meant when he called women “sentinels of the invisible.”

I’ve spent a lot of time researching what Saint Pope John Paul II said and wrote about women and it wasn’t until I read Melissa’s new book that I even heard of the phrase “sentinels of the invisible.” I loved this conversation about the feminine genius in our daily life and the stories of women throughout the life and history of the Catholic Church.

If you’ve ever wondered how the Catholic Church has championed the dignity of women and you want to know more about what the feminine genius means for you today, sister, this letter is for you.

Topics we talked about in this episode:

• What Saint Pope John Paul II meant when he called women “sentinels of the invisible”
  
• Women’s three inclinations towards protection, illumination, and revelation
  
• Saints who inspire Melissa to live out the feminine genius in her daily life
  
• Having a disposition to maternity as physical and spiritual mothers
