Here’s a prayer litany
from sister Joan Chittister, OSB.
A Litany
of Women for the Church
Dear God,
creator of women in your own image,
born of a woman in the midst of a world half women,
carried by women to mission fields around the globe,
born of a woman in the midst of a world half women,
carried by women to mission fields around the globe,
made known by
women to all the children of the earth,
give to the women of our time
the strength to persevere,
the courage to speak out,
the faith to believe in you beyond
all systems and institutions
so that your face on earth may be seen in all its beauty,
so that men and women become whole,
so that the church may be converted to your will
in everything and in all ways.
