Who gives birth? Who is side by side with a new born baby? Who breasts
feed the baby? Who answers the child’s questions? Who teaches him about
God? The answer is usually (although there are some exceptions) a woman.
Women, whether we acknowledge it or not, are the apostles who speak
about God to their child. They are the ones who facilitate the
relationship between God and the new born child. This continues for
several years. Most probably during the teen’s years, existential
questions may be asked by the young teenager which leaves some parents
with their mouths wide open, in awkward silence.
