As we pause to feed our bodies in the middle of the day, we pause also to feed our souls by vowing again to live faithfully.
Living God,
long ago, faithful women
proclaimed the good news
of Jesus’ resurrection,
and the world was changed forever.
Teach us to keep faith with them,
that our witness may be as bold,
our love as deep,
and our faith as true. Amen.
