Prayer Offered for March 14, 2022

God of mercy and wisdom, we bring before You all the women whose stories we have witnessed and whose stories have shaped our lives: our mothers, guardians, and friends.

Fill us with Your compassion that we may work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of all women—

those whose voices have been left unheard,

those who against all odds create an environment of love and peace for their families;

those whose stories are different from our own.

Fill us with Your courage that we may bring hope to those who live in fear, that our actions may be rooted in inclusivity, justice, and love, that we may contribute to the healing and wholeness of our world.—AMEN.
