Praise be to God!
For the women who have gone before us.
For the women of our ancient Scriptures.
For the Church Mothers, Saints and all wise women of God For creative women - the great inventors, artists, architects, authors, musicians, gardeners, meal -makers and life givers.
For all women who fought for justice and peace in our world.
For all the women we loved who now sleep in the peace of Christ.
We give God thanks.

Praise be to God!
For the women of today.
For Spirit-filled women who nurture our faith.
For women who fight for justice and peace in our world
For the women who lead us - in their own unique ways.
For the women who heal and nourish - our bodies, our souls, our minds.
For the women who protect - our land, our children and all created things.
We give God thanks.

Praise be to God!
For the women of tomorrow.
That they will come to know and love Jesus.
That they will find a world where all Your creation is loved and cared for.
That justice and peace will flourish in their time.
That their world will cherish every life.
That their gifts will be accepted and celebrated

For this we pray. Amen
