World Prayer Day: Women unites justice and faith worldwide!
On Friday, March 7, 2025, the “World Prayer Day of Women” is celebrated worldwide, one of the oldest and greatest ecumenical movements for women. This special day connects around 340 parishes in Austria and is celebrated in over 170 countries. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn emphasizes in his column the "power of prayer", which spans the connection like a global network of connection. Under the motto "Praying informed - acting prayer", this year's liturgy is directed by women of the cook islands who invite you to learn how to experience the cultural and social realities of your country in more detail, as well as to support projects to strengthen women and girls worldwide, such as domradio.de Notice. The central theme of the celebrations, "wonderfully created", quotes Psalm 139 and is reminiscent of the uniqueness of every woman.
The focus is on strengthening women's rights worldwide at a time when they are increasingly threatened. The event encourages to celebrate gender services and bring in their own gifts. This is done in the context of worrying social development, where violence against women increases every day. The World Prayer Day not only acts as a prayer platform, but also as a forum to draw attention to these grievances and strive for changes. The powerful message of prayer is intended to support women and reinforce them in their commitment.| Details | |
