In this episode I discuss what it means to be a “Remembered Woman.” Many women tell me that they would like to begin veiling at Church but are nervous to be the only one doing so, and or nervous to stand out.
If this is you, you need to put on your KINGDOM IDENTITY as “The remembered woman.” I’ll give you an example. While in France, I saw Saint Joan of Arc everywhere! A Gigantic golden statue of her riding her horse in the middle of the street in Paris! She’s in churches, restaurants, Joan of Arc is everywhere. She is a REMEMBERED WOMAN. What do the Saints all have in common? They are REMEMBERED, centuries later! Statues, prayer cards, chaplets, Churches named after them, schools, hospitals, people, they are invoked at Mass, there’s litanies, novenas, you name it they have it! Think of the iconic and remembered women throughout history…Marie Antoinette…remembered centuries later, I just bought a bust of her in Versailles!
How do you plan to reach Sainthood if you are nervous about being remembered, when being remembered is exactly what God is asking of you?
If you are the only woman veiling at Church, let your feminine beauty be a witness to all. While in France, the only women I saw wearing a veil inside the Churches was my mother and myself. I was a bit shocked, because we were at reverent masses. Veiling is an outward expression of feminine beauty, and feminine beauty attracts, captivates, and is a big evangelization tool.
One big thing I see Catholic women struggle with is confidence. Insecurity is not humility. If God wanted you to live a completely hidden life with nobody looking at you, He would call you to the cloister. While that’s a beautiful vocation, it’s important to understand just what your own call entails. God calls those in the world to help change the world. To those called to the married life the call is to be fruitful and multiply. Essentially, God wants to create other faces from your face. Which tells us it’s a call to be SEEN, to leave a mark on the world, leave a legacy. A rich and beautiful interior hidden life with The Lord is what we are called to have. We are not to hide the gift of ourselves from the aching world that needs our witness.
Do not be afraid to be seen and remembered, women. After all that’s what Saints are….the remembered!
