Dear God,
We thank you for all women across the globe.
We celebrate their strengths and accomplishments and pray for the day when every woman will be treated with dignity.
We pray that all women will be blessed with economic opportunity, access to education and the right to vote.
We thank you for the women who were pioneers in all areas of life.
We especially remember St Madeleine Sophie Barat and St Rose Philippine Duchesne both women of faith who through their vision and mission contributed to the impact of Sacred Heart Education worldwide.
We embrace the powerful role models of strong women in the Bible.
We greatly acknowledge the role of women in our lives, those who have nurtured us, guided us, taught us, loved us and protected us.
We pray for your continued blessing on all women.
May they reach their full potential in faith and in life.
Amen.
