| Summary: | The author asserts that it is surprising in the history of Christianity the enormous number of hidden or semi-unknown women who live their lives luminously and coherently, being recognized after their deaths as holy women. And yet, soon afterward, they are relegated to the background. Such amnesia is one of the most fragile aspects of ecclesial memory, which is often limited to a temporal or geographical scale, with little contribution to the universal community of believers. Hence, it is necessary to vindicate the memory of women shrouded of oblivion, an admirable heritage that cannot be taken away. The author encourages us to build a present that recognizes the many exemplary women who work behind the scenes, so that history never ceases to include them. |
