Through the intercession of holy women, let us pray for the Church in these words:
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
Through all the holy women martyrs who conquered bodily death by their courage,
— strengthen your Church in the hour of trial.
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
Through married women who have advanced in grace through holy matrimony,
— make the apostolic mission of your Church fruitful.
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
Through widows who ease their loneliness and sanctified it by prayer and hospitality,
— help your Church reveal the mystery of your love to the world.
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
Through mothers who have borne children for the kingdom of God and the human community,
— help your Church bring all men to a rebirth in life and salvation.
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
Through all your holy women who have been worthy to contemplate the light of your countenance,
— let the deceased members of your Church exult in that same vision forever.
Be mindful of your Church, Lord.
