In the Ember Weeks — Women Workers (1)
O Lord, who wast born of a woman, and hast glorified womanhood in the sight of all people: Bless, we beseech thee, the women who have been called to the service of thy Church in the parishes of our land. Strengthen them in hours of strain and weakness, preserve in them the spirit of sympathy and love, and grant them the help of thy grace, that in all things they may be worthy of their vocation; to the glory of thy holy name.
