All of us at Catholic Women Preach were heart-broken to hear of the passing of our dear friend Cynthia (Sam) Bowns. Sam was a remarkable woman and witness of faith, a gifted preacher, and a strong advocate for women in the Church - particularly the restoration of women in the diaconate. We are honored to re-present her preaching from Easter Season in May 2017 for today's Memorial of Saint Phoebe, the woman named "deacon" by Paul in Romans 16 who likely delivered and interpreted the letter to the community in Rome. May Sam delight in the fullness of God's loving presence, just as all who met her delighted in hers.
