Today we commemorate Catherine Winkworth, a hymnwriter and translator of German hymns. She was one of the best translators, able to preserve the spirit of the German hymns, while rendering their words into English. She also worked as a supporter for women's rights. She spent a lot of time working with women's education systems and their reform.
God our Father, beautiful in majesty, majestic in holiness, you have shown us the splendor of creation in the work of your servants John and Catherine. Teach us to drive from the world the ugliness of chaos and disorder that our eyes may not be blind to your glory, and that at length everyone my know the inexhaustible richness of your new creation in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Readings for Today:
2 Chronilces 20:20-21
