INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY PRAYER

We celebrate You, life-giving God,

expressed in girls and women throughout the Earth.

Playing, laughing,

singing, dancing,

suffering, bleeding . . .

Seeding, leading,

nurturing, encouraging,

resisting war, weaving peace.

Giving birth to humanity’s children

in all their beauty and diversity.

Bearing and sharing Sophia ~

shining Wisdom ~

in church, world, universe.

On this international day,

we rejoice in your feminine energy,

deepening and transforming

all You generously invite us

to create with You.

Hearts filled with Hope,

we give You thanks and praise.  Amen.
