Peace and Justice Prayer for March 3, 2024
Let us pray.
Holy One,
I am scared. The women of America are scared.
We are slowly losing hard won rights to decide for ourselves what we want to happen to our bodies. We are once again becoming the second class citizens we were some fifty years ago.
With a pen stroke our rights were stripped from us by the Supreme Court, our ability to get IVF treatments was destroyed in Alabama, in Florida and Texas and other places we are prevented from getting reproductive medical care to save our own lives.
I am angry, Holy One. The women of America are angry.
Save us, Holy One, for our lives are being destroyed.
Help us find a way forward.
Help us restore our rights and correct this injustice.
Help me, help us, Holy One, to find the next small step to save ourselves.
Amen.
