FROM THE LETTER OF
POPE JOHN PAUL II
TO WOMEN
Thank you, women who are mothers!
You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail.
This experience makes you become God's own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child's first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life...
Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman!
Through the insight which is so much a part of your womanhood you enrich the world's understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic.
