In British Science Week, here's a one minute prayer video celebrating Women in Science!   (It's one we devised for 11th February which is International Day for Women and Girls in Science but it's definitely worth repeating here!)

 

A Prayer for this week   (available here as a 1:00 video)

 

Loving God, we thank you for the discoveries already made by women in science

which have contributed so much to our understanding of the universe.

 

We give thanks for these inspirational women who were strong enough

to break through the barriers placed in front of them

by society's expectations at the time.

 

Help us to break through any barriers which might prevent us

from being the best we can be.

 

We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN
