Many know the chocolatier by her namesake and some remember Lady Godiva for her daring ride through Coventry, but few recall the reason: she was protesting her husband’s policies and taxes that hurt the poor. She risked her comfort and reputation to stand with the oppressed.
Our world still bears the weight of unjust systems that harm the marginalized. God calls us not to look away, but to step out—sometimes into vulnerability—for the sake of mercy and justice.
Prayer:
God of compassion and mercy, give us courage to speak truth, to confront injustice, and to seek Your will above our comfort. Make us bold in love, humble in service, and steadfast in standing with the least of these. Amen.
