____________________Psalm 90:14
Satisfy
us by your loving- kind-ness
in the
morning; So shall we rejoice
and be glad all the days of our life.
* Hilda, 614–680,
Abbess of Whitby
who ruled over a “double monastery”
of men and women living separately in
the same house, which was common in the Celtic tradition, and where the historic Council of Whitby took place in 637..
Give us grace
to recognize & accept
the varied gifts you
bestow on men and
women, that our
common life may be
enriched and your
gracious will be done
