Reflect
While much work has been achieved for women’s rights over the years, there is still much to be done. In 1973, the US Congress made August 26th known as “Women’s Equality Day.” The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts towards full equality.
Pray
Mothering God,
You love all of your beloved children,
and that always includes your daughters.
Help us to use our voices and votes to make policies and procedures
that help support, free, and cherish women—
not oppress or control them.
May we honor the gifts of all women in the world and in the Church.
Amen.
Act
Reflect about who was a woman who inspired, mentored, or helped shape your life. What did you love most about her? Think about a way you can honor and celebrate another woman around you in honor of a woman who poured into your own life and story.
