I was thinking about how the statement “Get A Life” is so often used in the most mean and sarcastic ways.

It’s usually intended as an insult. Kind of in the same way the self-righteous Pharisee thought of the man who couldn’t lift his head to God because he saw himself as unworthy. But the really demoralizing part about the statement “Get A Life” is the insult to life itself.

I was thinking of putting a new spin on what it means to be Pro-Life, and so just wanted to submit a prayer petition for the dignity of life itself.
 
Prayed for your intention in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
 

Abortion and abuse​

Almighty God, father of humanity, have mercy, for the agony of millions of tiny babies cruelly killed calls out to You. Please let the painful silent scream of each of those innocent children obtain from You an end to this endless slaughter.

Our God, we come before You with sadness and hope for each year, millions of unborn children are murdered in their mothers’ wombs. Only You can bring good out of something so terrible. Allow these innocents to plead for their parents and this world with their faultless purity. Glorify Yourself in them, by allowing them in some special way to work for the coming of Your kingdom!

Bring to light the plight of abused children, youth, women and men. Numerous infants, children, adults and elderly are abused or neglected. Rescue the abused from dangerous situations, and provide them with healing and safe environments. Let their grievances cry out for repentance and healing of their murderers and persecutors, and plead for their own loving protection. Grant grace that their abusers repent of their cruelty and neglect

Our Father and theirs, let it be that all persons, born and unborn, will come to be received with the welcome Christ offers to each person, in gladness, care, hope, blessing and love.

St. Julie Billiart, St. Dionysius of Corinth, pray for us. (Feast Day 4/8)

O Holy Apostle, you are the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Church. Obtain for me I pray you: lively faith, firm hope, and burning love, complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, recollection in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death; that so, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, I may be made worthy to appear before the Chief and Eternal Shepherd of Souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever. Amen.

The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary…

Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
Be it done unto me according to your Word.
Hail Mary…

And the Word was made flesh,
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary…

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
