Denver, Colo., Jul 23, 2018 \/ 03:47 pm (CNA<\/a>)<\/span>.-\u00a0This week, CNA says farewell to our summer intern, Lizzy Joslyn. In her final week at CNA this summer, Lizzy offers “The Genius of Woman,” a four-part series of interviews and profiles, based on Pope St.\u00a0<\/em>John Paul II’s “Letter to Women,” and interviews with seven Catholic women from very different walks of life. This is the first piece in that series:<\/em><\/p>\n

The \u201cgenius of woman\u201d or the \u201cfeminine genius,\u201d a phrase made popular by Pope St. John Paul II\u2019s 1995 “Letter to Women,” can be summarized as the distinct social and interpersonal strengths of women, offered generously to the world.<\/p>\n

John Paul wrote: \u201cMuch more important is the social and ethical dimension, which deals with human relations and spiritual values. In this area, which often develops in an inconspicuous way beginning with the daily relationships between people, especially within the family, society certainly owes much to the \u2018genius of women.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Such \u201cgenius,\u201d he said, can and should be exercised in various environments–in all environments–but it develops at the basic level of the family unit.
\nThe following are two stories of lives centered and exemplifying the feminine genius. They are stories of women supporting other women.<\/p>\n

Sister Maria: a \u201cspiritual family in Christ\u201d<\/strong>
\nTwo foundationally important ideals within consecrated life are \u201clove of God and love of neighbor,\u201d Sister Maria told CNA.
\nSister Maria, a cloistered nun of the Capuchin Poor Clares, spoke to CNA about the centrality of dedication to Christ in the consecrated life, while she highlighted the \u201cfraternal life\u201d of the cloister.<\/p>\n

The nuns \u201cbuild a spiritual family in Christ,\u201d she said, caring for one another \u201cespecially when sisters are sick.\u201d As nuns age, the Poor Clares do not bring them to \u201cassisted living or hospice,\u201d she said, adding \u201cwe do all the caring in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

But \u201cit\u2019s not\u2026 out of duty,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s out of that warmness, love and caring as sisters and mothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sister Maria said the nuns of her community take care of one another \u201cas a mother takes care of her children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Veronica and Miriam Miller: the strength of sisterhood<\/strong>
\n\u201cSpiritual families\u201d and biological families blossom, Pope St. John Paul II taught, when a woman\u2019s love–the feminine genius–is central to their functioning. So too does society.
\nFor John Paul, understanding that the family is the most basic and essential building block of society was crucial to comprehending the importance of a woman\u2019s familial–and, consequently, cultural–role. In a 1995 letter to Gertrude Mongella, Secretary General of the Fourth World Conference on Women of the United Nations, John Paul II wrote:
\n\u201cAt the personal level one\u2019s dignity is experienced not as a result of the affirmation of rights on the juridical and international planes, but as the natural consequence of the concrete material, emotional and spiritual care received in the heart of one\u2019s family.\u201d
\nWomen, he said, are central to a family\u2019s love.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo response to women\u2019s issues can ignore women\u2019s role in the family or take lightly the fact that every new life is totally entrusted to the protection and care of the woman carrying it in her womb (Cf. John Paul II Evangelium Vitae, 58).<\/p>\n

\u201cA mother\u2019s presence in the family, so critical to the stability and growth of that basic unity of society, should instead be recognized, applauded and supported in every possible way.\u201d
\nEvery women is crucial to the cohesion and strength of families, John Paul taught–regardless of her place in the family. Sisters and daughters are called to the same nurturing roles within their families–such is the case of the Miller family of Golden, Colorado.<\/p>\n

Veronica Miller, 22, and her sister, Miriam, 18, are two of six children. Their upbringing was largely based on caring for their fellow siblings, both women said, and this shaped them personally and in their relationship.
\nCaring for their brother, John, 20, has been a significant element in their experience of caring for one another. John is on the autistic spectrum and is non-verbal.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s crazy because he\u2019s\u2026 formed how our family has been together and how we\u2019ve grown up\u2026 in a really positive and really good way,\u201d said Miriam. \u201cOur family is super close, and I think that he\u2019s a huge reason why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both sisters agreed that the family\u2019s efforts to care for John have given them communication and cooperation skills among one another and people outside of their family, Veronica said.
\nJohn has \u201chelped us read people, so we read each other better, in a sense\u2026 because we\u2019re used to not using language with him,\u201d Miriam said.
\nCoordinating who would take care of John when was a part of this too, said Veronica.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere would always be one of us who couldn\u2019t go to dinner with the rest of the family because they had to stay back with John,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019d have to cancel your plans with your friends because John didn\u2019t have someone to take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always the caregivers, you know, and we always have to sacrifice to be able to love him better.\u201d<\/p>\n

This, however, was never a \u201cmajor source of conflict\u201d for their family–it built them up more than anything, she added. \u201cI would not be who I am if I didn\u2019t have all of them.\u201d
\nJohn brought Veronica and Miriam \u201ccloser because we know that we have a responsibility to him,\u201d said Miriam.<\/p>\n

Their family\u2019s selfless culture, said Veronica, is also rooted in the influence of their mother–the model of the feminine genius for her daughters.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s very clear that she loves all of us by\u2026 the things that she\u2019ll do for us,\u201d said Veronica of her mother.<\/p>\n

As the two sisters grew up and into their lives as students, their bond, built on self-giving, held steadfast, they say. Veronica and Miriam grew especially close when they both studied at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. It was here that the sisters deepened their faith as individuals, but also together.
\n\u201cIt was just the coolest thing ever,\u201d said Miriam. \u201cI felt like I got to re-know her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veronica, who lived in an off-campus house, would invite Miriam over frequently, both sisters reported.
\n\u201cShe would always make me tea,\u201d said Miriam, \u201cand we would go to Mass together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visiting her sister was a relief for Miriam in the midst of a sometimes socially overwhelming freshman-year experience, she said. It also gave Veronica the chance to exercise the \u201cspiritual motherhood\u201d that Letter to Women discusses, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollege is funny,\u201d said Veronica. \u201cYou\u2019re so inclined to only think about yourself all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI found that to be a challenge, actually, in the beginning of college when I didn\u2019t have her there. Just because I\u2019d realize, \u2018When was the last time I did something for someone else?\u2019 or really thought about someone else besides myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo having her there just, I think, really encouraged me to\u2026 exercise the motherly virtues that I had kind of started to develop younger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helped me, really, to strengthen those virtues because we didn\u2019t have our mom there or my older sister there\u2026We kind of exchanged that with each other. So then she was able to\u2026 love me in a very real way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veronica\u2019s support meant more to Miriam more than Veronica knew. As the sisters were interviewed separately, it became clear that Veronica was largely unaware of the effects of her leadership.
\nSeeing her sister pursue her faith with such fervency, Miriam said, was \u201cinspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely feel like I found my faith more through her because\u2026 she was leading me. But it wasn\u2019t\u2026 pushy,\u201d she said. Small actions like invites to attend daily Mass, she said, made her realize just how solid her sister\u2019s faith was.<\/p>\n

The feminine genius, established and fortified in their family, extended beyond their relationship. Veronica, said Miriam, helped her to develop deep and meaningful friendships.
\n\u201cI have so many different relationships in place because of Veronica,\u201d Miriam said. Her sister\u2019s willingness to befriend people outside of her assumed \u201ctypical\u201d circle, resulting in many unlikely friendships, is something she learned to imitate: \u201cI\u2019ve learned how to reach out of my comfort zone because I\u2019ve seen her do it too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all come from these different walks of life\u2026 it doesn\u2019t matter to her. Which I think is really cool. That\u2019s definitely impacted how I\u2019ve made friends.\u201d
\nVeronica also showed Miriam an example of emotionally supportive friendships–something that certainly speaks of the feminine genius.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all feel so comfortable telling her stuff,\u201d Miriam said of Veronica\u2019s friends.<\/p>\n

Veronica herself felt her friendships strengthen because of her their renewed, intuitive sisterly bonds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to be more in touch with her and maybe even with my other friends, too,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to have\u2026 that same relationship with them if I didn\u2019t have sisters.\u201d
\nThus, the feminine genius, if adequately fostered in the context of the home, has the capability to pour into relationships of all kinds and help to water the thirst of humanity for genuine love. The impact of \u201cthe genius of woman\u201d is unparalleled.<\/p>\n

\u201cDescribe your sister.\u201d<\/em>
\nCNA interviewed the Miller sisters separately, but we asked both sisters to describe the other. Here are their answers:
\nMiriam, on Veronica:<\/em>
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s super big-hearted and she\u2019s super compassionate and she\u2019s super kind.\u201d
\n– She is \u201cwise beyond her years.\u201d
\n– She \u201chas so many smart things to say.\u201d
\n-\u201cShe cares SO much.\u201d
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s super hard working and super smart, but she\u2019s so humble about it\u2026 She\u2019ll never talk about it. Like she didn\u2019t tell you she graduated from high school when she was 15.\u201d (Miriam is correct–Veronica definitely did not tell me this<\/em>.)
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s really accomplished.\u201d
\n-She\u2019s humble: \u201cShe\u2019s so good at what she does, but she won\u2019t talk about it.\u201d
\n-She\u2019s \u201csuper pretty, super nice, super holy\u2026 and it doesn\u2019t affect her.\u201d
\nVeronica, on Miriam:<\/em>
\n-\u201cShe cares about other people a lot. If she would get together with someone and have coffee with them, she\u2019s totally happy sitting and listening to the other person talks the whole time and will ask the other person questions and doesn\u2019t really talk about herself.\u201d
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s very joyful. Like, all the time.\u201d
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s awesome. She\u2019s out of town right now, so I miss her, too.\u201d
\n-\u201cJust in the way she lives, you can just tell that she cares so much about other people.\u201d
\n-\u201cIf you ask her if she has a hair tie, she\u2019ll literally pull the hair tie out of her hair and give it to you.\u201d
\n-\u201cShe\u2019s super strong.\u201d
\n-\u201cAnd she\u2019s very mature, too, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
