Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
Yet it is the law of all progress that is made by passing through some stages of instability and that may take a very long time... Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
Above all, trust in the slow work of God. - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Little Women

As we have discussed in class, there is great concern that the media and society are sexualizing children, particularly young girls, at very young ages.  The magazine US Catholic recently published an article reflecting on the phenomenon of "Little Women".  Please read the article and respond to the following prompts:  Describe your experience growing up... what toys did you play with?  Were limitations set by your family on what toys or shows you could watch?  How do you think your exposure to suggestive images or shows has affected your self-understanding and self esteem?  Finally, how has your experience at an all-girls Catholic school affected/counteracted the messages you receive from the media?
