Prayer to Our Lady of Life

Holy Mary, Our Lady of Life,
teach us to be grateful that
we have been created in love
by God our Father.

Teach us to understand that each person,
at every stage in life,
is precious in the eyes of God
and is our brother or sister in Christ Jesus.

Teach us to defend the unborn,
the disabled, the sick and the dying
with all our strength, our love
and our support.

Teach us to proclaim to the world
the most sacred truth about the gift of life,
with charity and conviction.

Please ask your Son,
Who is the way, the Truth and the Life,
to send us the Paraclete
so that the face of the earth may be renewed in his love.

Amen.

Peace be with you!

Saturday of Our Lady

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
