Preaching for the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Bridget Deegan-Krause offers a reflection on the importance of women's lived experiences:
"My hope is that we can spend time thinking about and appreciating the living and dying and rising that happens in women's lives over and over again, including in their bodily experience, something that is absolutely core to our Christian story."
