*Loving God, I thank you for the gift of life you gave and continue to give to me and to all of us.
Merciful God, I ask your pardon and forgiveness for my own failure and the failure of all people to respect and foster all forms of life in our universe.
Gracious God, I pray that with your grace, I and all people will reverence, protect, and promote all life and that we will be especially sensitive to the life of the unborn, the abused, neglected, disabled, and the elderly. I pray, too, that all who make decisions about life in any form will do so with wisdom, love, and courage.
Living God, I praise and glorify you as Father, Source of all life, as Son, Savior of our lives, and as Spirit, Sanctifier of our lives.
Amen. *
O Lord God Almighty,
Amid these many petitions of the needs of your children;
please keep this prayer for the preborn and desperately poor,
before Your Throne.
O Lord who hears the cries of the poor;
Let the Light of Your Church shine brighter,
by all Christians, The body of Christ,
so the world will hear the cries of the poor.
Amen.
Our Father who are in Heaven, Most Holy be Your Name,
Your Kingdom of Charity fill our hearts, and those of the whole world.
Grant us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
And let us not be led into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory,
to Reign Forever and Ever.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you;
Blessed are you among woman, and Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Ark of the New Covenant, pray for us now and at death.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the Beginning, is now, and will be forever;
World without end.
Amen.
