Prayers
Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be
Reflection
"A correct reading of Scripture leads people to an understanding of the equal dignity of men and women and to relationships based on mutuality and love. Beginning with Genesis, Scripture teaches that women and men are created in God's image."

Acts of Reparation (choose one)
- Do you love your cup of tea or coffee in the morning? Fast from caffeine today, or try your coffee black.
- Learn how to pray the Angelus prayer, and consider saying it every day -- on awakening, at noon, or at 6 p.m. (or all three times).
- Give up your favorite form (or all forms) of social media for the day. Spend some of the extra time meditating upon a Scripture verse or passage.

One Step Further
If you believe someone you know may be in a troubled situation, you should call a hotline number for assistance, or encourage the person to do so themselves: (911, the local hotline, or the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) / TTY 1-800-787-3224. The National Domestic Violence Hotline also has video phone capabilities for those who are deaf or hard of hearing and live chat capabilities for anyone to use: www.thehotline.org/help.)
