Pope Francis: “Women have the ability to have three languages: mind, heart, and hands

“Women have the ability to have three languages at the same time: that of the mind, that of the heart, and that of the hands. And they think what they feel, feel what they think, and do what they feel and think. I’m not saying that all women do it, but they have that ability, they have it. This is great.” The Pope welcomed these words to the editorial staff of the monthly magazine “Women Church World” of “L’Osservatore Romano”.

The occasion was given by the tenth anniversary of the monthly supplement of “L’Osservatore Romano”. “I read Women Church World, since the time of Professor Scaraffia’s coordination: I always read it, because I like it, I like this challenge that is already in the title,” Francis told the editorial staff. “We see it in the Vatican too: where we put women, things change immediately and move forward.”

The Pope gives some examples of women and mothers. “It is another category of thought, but not only thought: thought, feeling, and works.”
