Editor:
Pope Francis’ talk to the International Union of Superiors General prompted me to reflect on his question, “What would the Church be without you?” (Catholic Star Herald, May 10).
In addition to the contributions of religious women that Pope Francis mentions, the church would also be missing the wisdom, the fortitude, the intellect of these women. It would be missing their contributions and knowledge as educators, administrators, nurses, physicians, social workers, spiritual directors and counselors. It would be missing their example of service to others as they live their vocations among all of God’s children.
