Holy Women

From the earliest days of the Church through modern times, women have played a unique and critical role in the story of Christianity. In each chapter of Holy Women, derived from catechesis given during his weekly general audiences from September 2010 to April 2011, Pope Benedict XVI expertly and thoughtfully explores the life stories and writings of seventeen holy women. These models of prayer, faith, and good works will help you gain a fuller understanding of Church history and serve as guides on your faith journey.
