Authentic Femininity Resources for Lent

[Joy_Therese]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve recently been thinking and praying quite a bit about what I should “do” for Lent this year. Last year, I gave up facebook and chocolate (oy, was that hard!) but this year I want to cultivate more virtues in addition to conquering my vices, and I think I’d really like to do a kind of “Catholic Princess Lessons” thing (if that makes sense, haha), similar to the chivalry/Catholic gentlemen’s training programs of which I’ve heard.
Basically, I want to focus on developing authentic Catholic femininity; I’ve always been a girly-girl, and now that I’ve begun studying theology of the body and a devotion to the Blessed Mother, I want to use my Lenten journey to gain a better and richer understanding of what it means to be a Daughter of the King.

So, are there any other college-aged (or wiser) ladies who are or have been in the same boat?
Does anyone have any suggestions, book or program recommendations, resources, or stories to share? How about your own Lenten plans?

Thank you all in advance, and have a blessed and fruitful Lent!

Peace and Grace,
Joy

look into ENDOW and find out if anyone in your area is running a diocesan approved program, it is for women to find exactly what you are looking for

an older but equally wonderful program that may also be meeting in your area is Women of Grace

finally if you can’t find a group, word among us (wau.org) has several excellent 6-8 week bible studies specifically for women that can be done by individuals or in small groups

My wife read a book by Alice Von Hildebrand…I forget the name…but look up her books.
