Pro-Life Prayer for the Unborn
Lord God, Author of Life and Source of Eternal Life
move the hearts of all our public officials,
especially our President, to fulfill their
responsibilities worthily to all those entrusted to
their care. Help them in their special leadership
roles, to extend the mantle of protection to the
most vulnerable, especially the defenseless unborn,
whose lives are threatened with extermination by an
indifferent society. Guide all public officials by
your wisdom and grace to cease supporting any law
that fails to protect the fundamental right to
human life itself, which is a gift from God and
parents. You are the Protector and Defender of
the lives of the innocent unborn. Change the hearts
of those who compromise the call to protect and
defend life. Bring our nation to the values that
have made us a great nation, a society that upholds
the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness for all. Mary, the Mother of the living,
help us to bear witness to the Gospel of Life with
our lives and our laws, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
WHEN THE TIME COMES
as it surely will, when we face that terrible moment, the final judgement, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates there, you are there alone standing before God and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine.
I really think that those in the Pro-Life movement will not be alone.
I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard very beautifully and very loudly in the next world and I think they will plead for everyone who has been in the movement.
THEY WILL SAY TO GOD
“Spare them, because they loved us,” and God will look at us and say not ” Did You Succeed?” But ” Did You Try? ” – Henry Hyde
