ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE WUCWO ASSEMBLY - PRIVATE AUDIENCE, MAY 13, 2023

[...] There is a need for greater appreciation of their capacity for relationship and giving, and for men to better understand the richness of the reciprocity they receive from women, in order to recover those anthropological elements that characterise human identity and, with it, that of women and their role in the family and society, where they never cease to be a beating heart. And if we want to know what humanity is without woman, what man is without woman, we have it in the first page of the Bible: loneliness. Man without woman is alone. Humanity without woman is alone. A culture without women is lonely. Where there is no woman, there is loneliness, arid loneliness that breeds sadness and all manner of harm to humanity. Where there is no woman, there is loneliness.

MESSAGE OF CARD. KEVIN FARRELL, PREFECT OF THE DICASTERY FOR THE LAITY, FAMILY AND LIFE

[...] Dear friends, I invite you to continue, with enthusiasm and determination, the work of human and Christian formation of all women, especially of the youngest generation, who participate in WUCWO. Each catholic woman, following Christ as St. Francis did, can decisively contribute to give back a human face to our societies, which too frequently become enemies of life, enemies of family, enemies of fraternal collaboration, and enemies of peace. [...]

“TANZANIA”, Happiness Aberhard

I would like to share my testimony as a volunteer in the General Assembly that has just been held in Assisi. Through this General Assembly, I have seen the power that we as women carry especially when we put our differences aside and decide to team up and work together. This has shown me that we are very important and we bear a big missionary task to help and support each other. This testimony just gave me a wake-up call that I have a task to do as a woman, I need to keep encouraging my fellow women that we have a call to respond to and the community needs us more than we need ourselves.
