The Myrrh-Bearing Women are true models for women today, Bishop Veniamin of Southern Bessarabia said<\/a> on Sunday at the Parish of the Nativity of the Mother of God in Palanca, Republic of Moldova.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His Grace underscored that Christian women are called to cultivate the virtues of the Myrrh-Bearing Women both in family life and in the life of the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey show us both the courage and the faith that all women must possess in order to remain Christian and to follow Christ, as the Myrrh-Bearing Women followed Him. They are the ones who take upon themselves to bear children; they are the ones who undertake to teach them, to raise them well, and then to offer them to God.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Co-workers in Proclaiming the Resurrection<\/h2>\n

The bishop of Southern Bessarabia highlighted the role of the Myrrh-Bearing Women in proclaiming the Resurrection of the Saviour Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\u201cSee the wondrous work that God accomplishes in this world through women, who were created by Him to be a help to man, but who, through Christ, have also received a particular dignity \u2014 that of being fellow labourers with the Apostles and of going even to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His Grace emphasised that through Christ, the witness of the Myrrh-Bearing Women became foundational to the preaching of the Resurrection and remains a living model for Christian women today.<\/p>\n

Bishop Veniamin also commended the ministry of Fr Ioan Mihai Dr\u0103g\u0103nescu and his family within the local community.<\/p>\n

The previous day, the conference \u201cThe Fortress of the Family of Love\u201d, organised with the support of Diaconia Social Mission, took place, with the participation of Bishop Veniamin.<\/p>\n
