Called by the Holy Spirit
|
The roots of any vocation lie in our having been created by
God. |

The fact is that many Catholic women, all over the world, feel
called to the priestly ministry. Read the testimonies of present-day women who feel called to the priesthood. In the past this call has, by and large, been suppressed by cultural and social prejudice. In spite of that, we have the examples of saints who manifested their call: St. Catherine of Siena, doctor of the Church St. Thérèse of Lisieux, doctor of the Church and others. Tests on 100 women who feel called to the priesthood in the Catholic Church showed that they were equally competent, motivated and worthy as male candidates for the priesthood. Read here. |
| Through
the sense of vocation of Catholic women the Holy Spirit herself is urging the
Church to review the existing ban against women.
As long as the Church continues to ignore the promptings of the Spirit, the valuable charisms and gifts of women will be lost to the ministry. |
