	Creator of all, on this International Women’s Day, we gather to celebrate the strength and resilience of women throughout history, drawing inspiration from the courageous biblical figures who shaped our faith and our world.
	We remember Miriam, the prophetess, who fearlessly led her people out of bondage with song and dance. Like Miriam, may women everywhere lead with boldness and grace, paving the way for liberation and equality.
	We honor the bravery of Esther, who risked her life to save her people from destruction. May we, like Esther, find the courage to speak out against injustice and fight for the rights of all who are oppressed.
	We pay tribute to Ruth, whose loyalty and compassion earned her a place in the lineage of King David. May we, like Ruth, extend kindness and empathy to all whom we encounter, building bridges of understanding and unity.
	We lift up Deborah, the wise judge and prophetess, who fearlessly led her people into battle. May women everywhere rise to positions of leadership and influence, using their voices and talents to enact positive change in the world.
	On this day, and every day, we commit ourselves to honoring the contributions of women, both past and present, and to working towards a future where all are treated with dignity, respect, and equality.
