Prayer for Women
(Written by Ann Rennie)
We give thanks today for the women in our lives; mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and partners, teachers, mentors, artists, scientists, retailers, and carers; women who are poor and struggling and those who share their wealth and time and expertise; brave women rebuilding their lives and the lives of their loved ones in Ukraine; all those women who do the best they can every day with what they have. Behind the busyness and hard work there is dignity. Today let us acknowledge the gifts of womanhood in all its guises and know that women continue, as the saying goes, to hold up half the sky.
