International Women’s Day

Reflection

“Do not live someone else’s life and someone else’s idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you.” ~ Viola Davis

Prayer

Almighty God, today, we celebrate International Women’s Day. Help us to promote in word and action your reflection in all women. Inspire us as individuals, as societies, and as nations to honor, defend, and affirm the full equality of women. Fill us with gratitude for the contributions of women to the life we share on this planet and stir within us a renewed commitment to the dignity, freedom, and equality of all women in our homes, in our communities, in our nations, and around the world. In gratitude for the gift of women, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to say thank you to the women in my life and commit to the realization of full equality, dignity, and respect for all.
