Who Are The Catholic Daughters of the Americas?

Formed in 1903, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas® is one of the Oldest and Largest Organizations of Catholic Women in the Americas.  Under the patronage of the Blessed Mother, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas are united by our faith in Jesus Christ, in our devotion to our Church and the Holy See. The CDA motto is "Unity and Charity".  Our Court also adds "Love" to our motto.  We donate to charities, administer

scholarship programs and strive "to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorow or sickness."

 

Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other’s company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities.  Deeply spiritual, together we share faith, love of God an a distinctly feminine spirituality alluded to by Pope John Paul II when he spoke of the necessity of “feminine genius” in today’s world.  The program includes concerns of today's church and society as well as issues that affect the well-being of women and children.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

our life, our sweetness and our hope,

to thee do we cry,

poor banished children of Eve;

to thee do we send up our sighs,

mourning and weeping in this vale of tears;

turn, then most gracious Avocate,

thine eyes of mercy towards us,

and after this, our exile,

show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,

that we may be made worthy of

the promies of Christ.

"The Father will give you an advocate-the truth.."

 

The Spirit isn't going anywhere, at least until the end of time.  Aslong as there is Church, there will be Spirit.  We can count on that.  What we can't count on is that people will act on it.  We humans are notorious for not listening or not being responsive to what we do hear.

 

Because the Spirit is not visible, we need tangible signs to now when we're getting the message right.  We read those signs in our own lives, and St. Paul gave us a reliable list to consider.  A life responsive to the Spirit's movements will enjoy these fruits in abundance:  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  If you life looks like this, then you're moving with the Spirit, hooray!  If this list does not reflect how your friends describe you, then it's time to start paying closer attention.
