Episode 104: God’s Ways Revealed through Women in Scripture and Tradition—Session 8, The Women of the Parables (6/30/23)

The eighth conference of the retreat explores the women of the parables of Jesus and how their actions reveal God’s ways to us. After starting with the parables of the woman leavening wheat with yeast, searching for the lost coin, the conference invites us to allow the parables of the persistent widow demanding justice and the ten virgins awaiting the bridegroom to challenge us. Finally, although not a parable per se, the story of Jesus’ response to the widow who gave all she had to live on to the temple is examined.
