Prayer for Life
O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world,
to you do we entrust the cause of life.
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives
are made difficult,
of men and women who are
victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick
killed by indifference of
out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace to accept
that Gospel as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives,
and the courage to bear witness
to it resolutely,
in order to build, together with all
people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life. Amen.
Prayer of Pope John Paul II
Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, OCDS
