It was the day after the inauguration when hundreds of thousands of (mostly) women descended on Washington D.C. for the Women’s March, a show of solidarity against President Trump and an act of advocating for women’s rights and equality.

The Women’s March was not without controversy. The organizers released a list of guiding principles including “open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people.” They booted a pro-life group called New Wave Feminists from their list of sponsors because of their pro-life beliefs. (Many pro-life women marched anyway.) Most participants donned pink “pussy hats” and others wore even more explicit, genitalia-themed costumes.

So how did a group of Dominican friars end up inviting hundreds of Women’s Marchers into their priory?..

A wonderful act of mercy and hospitality by the friars. Hopefully, it will lead to the conversion of many.
 
What a positive way to encounter this. It makes me think of the Mormons who would stand outside of the theaters after The Book of Mormon played. They would hand out the real version and make themselves available for questions. That’s a wonderful way to confront something that mocks one’s faith.
 
Women wearing “get your rosaries off my ovaries” having a conversation withmen wearing rosaries. I see a certain sense of ironic humor in that.

Hopefully some hearts of stone might be softened.

What a wonderful example of true evangelization. This article was refreshing to read as it seems most stories we get involving politics follow the assumption that conversion is impossible and we can only hope to “defeat” one’s political enemies in the political arena.
 
God Bless the Friars!

Let us pray for the conversion of those who entered the Church that day.
