Synodality is "the most consequential development in ecclesiology since the close of Vatican II," says columnist Michael Sean Winters. So he's perplexed why it isn't even mentioned on the agenda for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops's upcoming meeting. ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-vo…

“Rather than coming to the table seeking to exclude, we should all be open to how we might better recognize and strengthen the ministries of women.” #NYTLetters nyti.ms/3qYmQhR

At my workshop at the recent #WomenoftheChurch conference, I encouraged folks to pitch me with their essay ideas. I was happy to accept this one, which tells a honest story of feeling lonely in the church but finding community in groups of women. ncronline.org/opinion/guest-…

Today marks the beginning of our #Novena to St. Phoebe. Let us gather our intentions and seek her intercession for all those who labor and serve the Gospel. Join us on a transformative journey as we open our hearts to her example of courageous service in the early Church.

On this second day of the Novena to St. Phoebe, we reflect on the heart of all ministry:  compassion for those we encounter on our path. As we pray, may we also work to uplift the marginalized and extend our hands of kindness to all. #Novena #StPhoebe

Is Phoebe a “Saint”? Fr. Felix Just, SJ takes up the question in La Croix International. In the Gospels, Jesus asks everyone who follows him to be a “servant.” Paul’s reference to #StPhoebe is especially prominent in that he calls her a “diakonos” and a “prostatis.” international.la-croix.com/news/religion/…

On this fourth day of the Novena to St. Phoebe, we seek her guidance in nurturing wisdom and knowledge. Let us celebrate the wisdom of women, honoring their crucial contributions to the intellectual and spiritual growth of our communities. #Novena #StPhoebe #ReceiveHer

We pray for the courage to challenge barriers that limit how we receive women’s gifts in sharing the Word of God. May #StPhoebe’s legacy inspire all who bear witness to the call they have received, especially those who will share their witness in September. #Novena #ReceiveHer
