"Pray The Rosary To End Abortion"
Almighty God, Our Father, You have given us life
and intended us
to have it forever, grant us Your blessings.
Enlighten our minds to
an awareness and to a renewed conviction that
all human life is sacred
because it is created in Your image and likeness.
Help us to teach by
word and the example of our lives that life occupies
the first place, that
human life is precious because it is the gift
of God whose love is infinite.
Give us the strength to defend human life against
every influence or action
that threatens or weakens it, as well as the
strength to make every life
more human in all its aspects. Give us
the grace.....
When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked,
to stand up and
proclaim that no one ever has the authority to
destroy unborn life.
When a child is described as a burden or is looked
upon only as a
means to satisfy an emotional need, to stand
up and insist that every
child is a unique and unrepeatable gift of God,
a gift of God with a
right to a loving and united family.
When the institution of marriage is abandoned
to human selfishness or
reduced to a temporary conditional arrangement
that can easily be
terminated, to stand up and affirm the indissolubility
of the marriage bond.
When the value of family is threatened because
of social and economic
pressure, to stand up and reaffirm that the family
is necessary not only
for the private good of every person, but also
for the common good of
every society, nation and state.
When freedom is used to dominate the weak, to
squander natural resources
and energy, to deny basic necessities to people,
to stand up and reaffirm that
the demands of justice and social love.
Almighty Father, give us courage to proclaim the
supreme dignity of all human
life and to demand that society itself give its
protection. We ask this in Your
name, through the redemptive act of Your Son
and in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
