“When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to myself” (John.12:32).
Reflection: Jesus fulfills this promise in the Eucharist, which builds up the Church. All those receiving Communion today receive the very same Jesus, not something different. Therefore he, enthroned in heaven, is drawing all these people to himself, and hence also to one another. We become one body, and are responsible to foster the unity of the entire human family.

Prayer: Lord, continue to fulfill your promise of unity. Free us from the divisions that result from aborting children and killing the sick. May we build a culture of life! Amen.

Dear God,
Help us unite for protection & sacredness of life is part
of our nature since we are Created in Your Image and Likeness.
Help us combat the heartbreaking false playing at heartstrings ideology
so prevalent in the world today knowing that Your Strength and Truth
will always be victorious. Help us raise awareness with sustained
creativity and zeal.
Amen.
 
Lord, please changes the hearts of people to choose life over death. Grant the mothers of the world to give a baby a chance to live. Help us spread love over the alternative. Amen!
 
Hail Mary
Full of grace
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women, and
blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus
Holy Mary,
Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of death
Amen

“In everything, deal with others as you would like them to deal with you” (Matthew 7:12).
Reflection: The “Golden Rule,” applies also when the “others” are unborn children, scheduled for abortion. We are to do what we would want others to do if we were in the same situation. We sometimes wonder how many people we should risk offending, or how many positions we should risk losing. We can stop wondering. “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.”
Prayer: Father, in this simple rule, you have shown us how far we need to go in defending human lives. Give us the courage to carry it out. Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for those who continue to raise awareness bearing
fruits of the Gospel for souls and justice for those in need.
Help us to do unto others as we would have done unto each of us.
Help all of us continue to realize and society realize that while
many intellectual elite cry ~choice~ that in reality the insidious propaganda
with current atmosphere toward the children in the womb along with heartbreaking circumstances the fathers and mothers find themselves — many of them actually are aided and abetted by this to feel
cornered with ~no choice.~ Only raising awareness with compassion reaching those parents and others surrounding them by the Power of The Holy Spirit changes hearts and minds along with saving lives of children.
Amen.

Holy Thursday - “If I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14).
Reflection: On Holy Thursday, Jesus gave us the Eucharist, the Priesthood, and the commandment of charity. All are symbolized by his washing the feet of his disciples. We are to wash each other’s feet, to do what is unpleasant in order to serve one another.
Let us then recommit ourselves to loving and serving the least among us, the unborn children. Let us wash their feet by speaking up for them and working to restore the protection of their lives.
Prayer: Lord, I commit myself to serve my unborn brothers and sisters, just as you have served us. Amen.

Good Friday - “They took him away…carrying the cross by himself…” (John 19:16-17)
Reflection: Jesus was not crucified because of the power of wicked men; he was crucified because of the silence of good men.
On the first Good Friday, where was the multitude who had been fed by the five loaves and two fish? Where were the voices of those who saw Lazarus come out of the tomb, or witnessed the man born blind receive his sight?
Good Friday reveals the triumph of cowardice. Nobody wanted to take a risk.
Prayer: Crucified Lord, many betrayed you by their silence and their absence. Grant that I may always speak up for you by speaking up for the vulnerable.
Amen.

Holy Saturday - “In that garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been buried” (John 19:41).
Reflection: On Holy Saturday, the Church sits by the tomb of Christ, meditating on his death, and keeping vigil for the resurrection. He goes to preach to the dead that death has been conquered. He reminds us that every burial is a temporary burial.
As we fight the culture of death, let us inject the sadness of every killing with the sure hope of resurrection.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you shared our life and you even shared our death and burial. Amid every sorrow, fill us with hope, for you live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

April 1

Easter Sunday - “He has abolished death…” (2 Timothy 1:10)
Reflection: Jesus Christ is Risen from the dead! Death has been conquered!
Although death in its various forms continues to manifest itself in our world, it has been robbed of its power; it no longer has the final word in the human story.
The pro-life movement does not simply work for victory; we work from victory. Victory is our starting point. We joyfully proclaim to the world that Christ is Risen, and that for this reason, we must choose life.
Prayer: Risen Lord, fill me with joy this day. May I defend life, knowing that victory has already been placed in our hands, for you are alive forevermore. Amen! Alleluia!

April 2
"Rulers are a source of fear not to those who do good but rather to those who do evil" – Romans 13:3.

Reflection: There is a big difference between abortion on the one hand, and war and capital punishment on the other. War and capital punishment, when justified, are carried out by the authority of the state restraining those guilty of doing harm; abortion is always carried out by the authority of an individual destroying one innocent of doing any harm.

Prayer: Protect your people from all harm, O Lord, and give your strength to those you have appointed to preserve our peace and security. Amen.

"When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb" (Luke 1:41).
Reflection: Scripture uses the same language for the unborn as it does other children. Luke’s gospel uses the word “baby” or “child” (Gr. brephos ) to describe John the Baptist prior to his birth. But one chapter later (2:12,16), the already born Christ child is also referred to as a “baby” (brephos ). “Brephos” is commonly used to describe infants and older children (Luke 18:15, Acts 7:19, 1 Peter 2:2).
Prayer: Lord, your word speaks of the born and the unborn in the same terms. Give us the same respect and love for both. Amen

"At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores" (Luke 16:20).
Reflection: Lazarus got nothing as he begged at the rich man’s door. The rich man thought that because Lazarus had less, he was worth less. He failed to recognize the one in need as his brother. That is the failure of our time regarding the unborn. Many fail to recognize that the unborn child is their brother, their sister, the Lazarus of the 21st century.
Prayer: Lord, help us to realize that the rich man did not go to hell because he was rich, but because he ignored the other man. May none of us repeat that mistake. Amen.

"God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Reflection: Those who have abortions do have them because of “freedom of choice,” but rather because the have no freedom and no choice. Mountains of pressure and confusion fall upon them.
Yet in the struggle against temptation and sin, God always provides the way to say no to evil and yes to good.
Prayer: Lord, bless all those who counsel others against abortion. May they effectively announce the power of Your grace. Amen.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)
Reflection: Jesus is the Way precisely because he is truth and life. The Son of God came into the world to destroy the works of the devil" (1 Jn. 3:8), and as John 8 reveals, those works are lies and murder. Jesus, the Way, overcomes those works precisely by being the Truth (undoing the devil’s lies) and the Life (undoing the devil’s works of death.)
Prayer: Lord, we thirst for your truth and we embrace your life, and we cling to you, the way out of the dominion of death and to our eternal salvation. Amen!
