I Give Me to Thee, O Blessed Mother
 
  Pope John Paul II concluded his "Gospel of Life"
encyclical with a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 
  O Mary, bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
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 or 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.

 
A Prayer For Mothers

  O Holy Mary, Mother of our Savior,
Mother most chaste and pure,
You offer the example for mothers everywhere.
Please remember with favor our mothers who gave us life,
who nurtured us with love,
and guided us to faith in your Son.
Please pray for all who are mothers and others who are yet to be,
and accept this prayer in keeping with the words from Scripture,
"Her children shall arise and call her blessed."
