"A
great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise
up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily
prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover
of life, from every Christian community, from every group and
association, from every family and from the heart of every
believer.”
Prayer to
End Abortion
Lord God, I thank
you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives
of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is
nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that
you have conquered death
by the
Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do
my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit
myself
Never to be
silent,
Never to be
passive,
Never to be
forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to
be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop
defending life
Until all my
brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation
once again becomes
A nation with
liberty and justice
Not just for some,
but for all.
Through Christ our
Lord. Amen!
This
prayer and many more prayers can be found here on Priest for Life

I would like to encourage everyone to join us at least once a month
for the Pro-life Rosary. If we believe in the power of prayer
then we should pray that this American and Worldwide Holocaust will
end soon! More lives have been taken in the act of abortion
than all wars put together! We can do something about the
bloodshed in our mist through, prayer, fasting and action! So
please pray for the end to abortion everyday!
Let us take action
by voting Pro-life and also write to our Congress, our Senators and
our President to let them know how we feel. If a candidate
can not respect the babe in the womb than he will not respect our
rights either!
The following is
an e-mail I sent to President Bush when the "Morning After Pill,
Plan B" was approved by the head of FDA this past August. A
man President Bush is backing!
Dear President
Bush,
I am a 43 year old
Catholic, wife and mother. I have thanked God for your
administration for this time in history. Although, I am very
troubled by the last statement you made over your approaval of the
"Morning After Pill, Plan B" and your support of your man, "Andy"
who approved it. I thought you once said you wanted to create
a "Culture of Life." I think that this decision will
seriously harm our nation because we never will have peace or
security when our own children in the womb are not safe!! I
know you have a relationship with God and I pray that you will
re-think this issue because if not you will be fighting a never
ending battle. Mother Teresa once said, "The Fruit of
Abortion is Nuclear!" Also, the hidden message we send to our
nation, especially our women and children is that it is okay to
slaughter the unborn so we can live the way we want. We can
not have peace or security if we continue to kill the most
vulnerable and the weakest amoung us. Not to mention that we
are killing off our future. We can never over turn Roe v.
Wade with a contraception mentality. This is my opinion which
I form my mind to the mind of Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic
and Apostolic Church and not to the opinion of the world. I
would hope and pray you would do the same!
Sincerley,
Tricia
Parsons
