Let us join with pride those women who,
in every generation, have been
well-pleasing to God.

Serve God by serving your neighbor,
visiting the sick, helping the poor and homeless,
and lending a hand to a friend.

Serve God in His Holy Church
by reading the Epistle, delivering a sermonette,
ushering, and receiving the sacraments.

Antiochian Women's Prayer

In the Name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.

O Christ our God, we are all pledged to serve Thee with our whole being. Help us to continue to work for Thee through our Church without seeking praise, without seeking personal gain, without judging others, without a feeling that we have worked hard enough and now must allow ourselves rest. Give us strength to do what is right and help us to go on striving and to remember that activities are not the main thing in life. The most important thing is to have our hearts directed and attuned to Thee.

Amen
