Saint Olympias,
“Patron of Widows, Organizers,
Administrators, Friendships,
Deacons, Women in the Church,”*
Hear our prayer for all in these roles.
Hear our prayer for openness of the Church**
to the baptismal reality of women and men
as Imago Dei, as Alter Christus
and to past, present, and future roles of women
in ordained and sacramental roles.
Pray for all of us to be blessed
with special friendships
and to be an enriching friend.
Amen.

**to “abandon false securities” to be ready
to face “the challenge of the future.”
