Perpetual Prayer for Sanctity of Life

[IsaiahSpirit]

That is the true message to all we encounter
at the abortion centers and in
our communities who have been deceived
by the Culture of Death. We
don’t bring condemnation; we bring
God’s good news. [a hope and a future]

Prayer:
Lord, we ask for the strength, courage,
wisdom, determination and stamina to
carry out this mission according to
Your will.
Guide us, we pray, as we go forth and
proclaim Your truth, always doing so
with a spirit of love and compassion, as
was demonstrated to us through the
work of Your Son, Jesus Christ. In His
name we pray, amen

 

[chero23]

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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 our death. Amen

 

[IsaiahSpirit]

Dear Jesus,
We thank you for YOUR Victory
over death …
Help to use our Adorartion of You,
to have compassion on the poorest of the poor,
to defend life of the little ones.
Amen

 

[IsaiahSpirit]

God desires that we bring them the message of truth and hope found in Christ, but the messengers He will use are those willing to forgive.
Prayer
Dearest God, You tell us in Proverbs that the foolish and the wicked lack wisdom and understanding. I pray you will trouble the souls of

those in the abortion industry so that they hunger for truth and cry out for freedom.
I pray that my life would reflect my redemption so others may see it and trust in You. In obedience to You, and by your grace, I choose to

forgive others as you have forgiven me. In the name of Christ my Redeemer I pray, Amen.

†

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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. †

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle,
be our defense against the wickedness and snares
of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the
power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other
evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen. †

Day 8 intention

We pray for a renewal of our zeal to offer generous help to the unborn and their families.

Scripture

If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant when they complained against me, what then shall I do when God rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him? Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

— Job 31:13-15

Reflection by Rev. Rob Schenck

The ground is level as we stand before God
(…)

Proverbs 3:27 reads, “Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.” Some things are so obvious that we don’t even need to pray except to ask of God forgiveness and the power to do what so obviously needs doing.

Prayer

God, forgive us when we try to explain away the obligation we have to help others who need help.
Enable us to not devalue them because they are in the circumstance that they are in, but to see them for what they are, those, who like us, were formed by your hand in their mother’s womb. Amen.

Day 9 intention

Pray that the post-abortive [man&] woman would be repentant, accept forgiveness, be healed and restored, and bring glory to God with [his&] her new life.

Scripture

I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

— Psalm 32:5

God will not waste any sin we lay at His feet. Imagine millions of healed and restored post-abortive [men&]women [daddys & mommys] like myself singing aloud of His righteousness and giving testimony of His love and forgiveness.

What a day of rejoicing that will be!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we have turned our backs on you and your principles in your Word. We have allowed [humankind] to usurp Your role as God over life and the number of our days.

But we come to you in brokenness and repentance over our sin.

We cry out for Your mercy and ask you to remove the scourge of abortion from our land. Use us as your vessels, Lord, to bring the light of Your Truth to our nation once again. Because of Christ we pray, Amen.

 

[IsaiahSpirit]

Venerated Bishop Fulton J Sheen, pray for us.
Please whisper into JESUS’ ear
Lord God,
Please help the earth to spare all
The lives of tiny boys and girls born
Into human life at the instant of conception
Until elderly natural falling asleep to Your Judgement Seat.
Amen

[IsaiahSpirit]

Dear Lord,
thank you for helping through this severe physical illness.
O Lord Jesus, make me whole.
Amen.

So it’s up to us to imitate God’s merciful love by helping and praying for those who persecute us, and those who don’t love us back.

Prayer

Gracious God, loving our enemies seems like one of most difficult things you could ask of us. Please remind us that this is how you love and that if you ask it of us then you will give us the grace to do it. This we ask through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Day 13 intention

We pray for the strength to love those who do not love us.

Scripture

But the Lord said “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in the night and perished in the night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left, and much livestock? Should I not be concerned about that great city?”

— Jonah 4:10-11

Reflection by Dennis DiMauro

God doesn’t value people and things like we do.

Jonah loved a shade tree more than an entire city of sinful people. We love our dogs more than a terrorist. We love our cars more than a beggar on the side of the road. And sometimes, we love our money more than a child growing in a desperate teenager’s womb.

But God isn’t like us. Genesis 1 tells us that humans were the capstone of God’s creation.

We were created on the sixth day after God had completed the land, the stars, the plants and the animals. Therefore, His love for us is greater than His love for a plant, an animal, or any other created thing.

And the book of Jonah tells us that He loves even the most sinful people and seeks to bring them into His merciful arms. And it’s a love that seeks to touch all of his created children: that desperate teenager, the baby growing in her womb, even tyrants and terrorists.

So it’s up to us to imitate God’s merciful love by helping and praying for those who persecute us, and those who don’t love us back.

Prayer

Gracious God, loving our enemies seems like one of most difficult things you could ask of us. Please remind us that this is how you love and that if you ask it of us then you will give us the grace to do it. This we ask through Christ our Lord, Amen.

[IsaiahSpirit]

Intention:
Pray for the mothers going into pregnancy
help centers. The personal care,
the free ultrasound, the ongoing practical
help is designed to deliver them
from those who profit in shedding innocent
blood.
Scripture:
Come to me, all who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
—Matthew 11:28
(…)
Prayer:
Father, hear our prayer!
Snatch desperate mothers from the
fire. Bring them out of our abortion
businesses and into our pregnancy
help centers. Deliver them from evil.
Use us to help them chose life and see
your hand of provision.
Amen.

 

[IsaiahSpirit]

God cares for Life. We, as His followers, should take time to consider the life He has created and called upon us to love and protect.

Prayer

Lord, you are the creator of all things. Guide my thoughts to consider your creation in all of its majesty, beauty and holiness. Guide my heart especially to your creation of precious human life.

Help me to comprehend how essential life is in your own heart. Teach me to appreciate, love and protect all human life through your son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

She responded with “Hello!” and then added, “Thanks for what you do,” as she continued to walk by. Then suddenly, she stopped, turned and said, “Thanks to you my son is alive.”
(…)
Vigil participants were asked to “please intensify your prayers and fasting for unborn babies, mothers … and especially for those who do not recognize the supreme gift and dignity of every life!”

Today’s devotional is from Carmen Pate of Alliance Ministries.

Day 19 intention

Pray that when those representing Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups see volunteers for 40 Days for Life, they see ambassadors of Christ, and may each volunteer be consciously aware at all times of Whom we

represent.

Scripture

I beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness, and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.
— Ephesians 4:1b-2

Reflection by Carmen Pate

When Carol Everett, a former abortionist and post-abortive woman, was asked what turned her heart from death to life in Christ, she said, “Unconditional love,” shown by a man who prayed daily for her in front of the

abortion clinic where she worked.
He told Carol that God had sent him because there was someone in there that God wanted out.
She left 27 days later and now serves as Christ’s ambassador to help others.
We too have been sent by Christ as an ambassador to love unconditionally those God seeks to get out of their bondage and sin.
What a high calling it is — much higher than any presidential appointment to another country.
In his book, Fishers of Men, Dr. Sumner Wemp describes what it means to be an ambassador of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings:
• God has chosen us (John 15:16)
• We are sent into a world that is not our home (1 Peter 2:11)
• Our walk must match our talk (1 Timothy 3:7)
• We must abide in Him for daily instruction (John 15:5)
• Know our purpose — to seek and to save that which is lost (Luke 19:10)
• We are to reconcile others to God with His authority (Matthew 28:19-20)
• Do not let kindness and truth leave you (Proverbs 3:3-4)
• Our service is to be grounded and rooted in love (Ephesians 3:17)

Pray that we each will walk worthy of the calling with which we were called!

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, we are humbled that you have called us and appointed us to be ambassadors of Christ in a world that is not our home.
We pray that your Holy Spirit will empower us to walk worthy of the calling. We pray that Your unconditional love will flow through us to those who desperately need Your saving grace.
In the name of Christ who is worthy, Amen.

[IsaiahSpirit]

“The whole Law is fulfilled in one word, ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.’” -Galatians
a lot of daddies and mommies need a cold drink of water in Jesus’ Name
every Lent and every Autumn and all year.

Every baby brings
into the world
A song that has
never been sung,
A hope that has never
been quenched,
A chance to love
and be loved and
complete faith in us
for protection.

• Robert Frostman

O Lord,
Through all Your Intercessors,
in a special way through Joseph & Mary,
in continual prayer,
since Nov. 1, 2014 a little over 4 months ago,
I and family continue to pray for Anthony whom
we Spiritually adopted. Help us to persist for
nine months, for his family to protect his little life.
Amen.

40daysforlife.com/media/day21.pdf

That child is known by God and, as
such, has being.
Prayer:
Lord God, we confess that in You we
live and move and have our being.
Because You are, we are.
May we find grace from You to affirm
the being of every human and may we
labor to make this truth known to the
world around us. Amen.

 

[IsaiahSpirit]

Intention:
That we may realize the generational
impact of abortion.(…)
What a tragedy of gargantuan proportions
that babies, planned and endowed
by the Creator, with distinct and
unique personalities and with, perhaps,
a future and destiny intended for
greatness, have their lives snuffed out
by cruel abortionists before they ever
see the light of day! May our prayers
that the dreadful scourge of abortion in
our land may vanish be as fervent as
Isaac’s were for Rebekah.
Prayer:
O, God, you formed us in our mother’s
womb and planned a unique and special
life and purpose for each of us, and
we do thank you. Grant that we may
pray and work for an end to abortion,
especially in these 40 days, so that no
unborn baby you have made may fail to
achieve your divine intention for him
or her because of intentional abortion.
We pray this for the sake of your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

We praise and thank You Father for every human person whom You have loved into existence. Flood Your blessings upon all who welcome and nurture those whom You breathe everlasting souls. Grant that each of us lives fully Your commandments of love, Your gift of Your love to Your human creations.

We have received the opportunity to live our lives enriching others’ lives, yet some of our sisters and brothers suffer their lives to be stolen from them, even before they are born.
Father we ask that You grant Your Angels such great power over this world that they can stand between our little ones and their murder.

Have mercy upon those who through fear, pressure, or convenience, procure and those who preform the killing of Your precious children. Please pardon and heal them of this great wound in their spirits.

Have pity on us, our God, for the loss of so many valuable persons to our world. We are poorer not only for the sin of their murder, but also because they are our sister and brothers, intended as our family, our spouse, our teachers, our leaders, our friends, our community for all eternity.

Please give all the aborted persons a great ministry of prayer for their parents and for our world.

Mother Mary remembering the grief you felt when 12 year old Jesus disappeared for only three days, and remembering you pain when Jesus was unjustly arrested and harshly used, please pray for these parents, and the children.

O Lord help us to bring Your Light
to each other for tiny little man children
and woman our brothers and sisters,
procreated by husbands & wives,
and fathers and mothers,
in Holy Vessels The womb. Thou knows that
most fathers, mothers, and families
that receive counseling by ultrasound,
hear the baby’s heartbeat, or counseling
(sometimes just seeing peaceful prayer
vigils - Your Light on the hillside)
protect the life of their child. Help
us to witness to our neighbors, as if these
tiny little children dying in agony of the soul by the 10s
thousands every day world wide are our
own children.
amen.

IN The Most Holy Name of God The Father Creator,
Jesus The Son Redeemer,
and Holy Spirit Sanctifier;
O Mary, Bright Dawn of the New World
by Pope John Paul II
O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women
who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed
by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel
as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.
Amen.

Pope Benedict XVi’s prayer for the unborn

Lord Jesus,
You who faithfully visit and fulfill with your Presence
the Church and the history of men;
You who in the miraculous Sacrament of your Body and Blood
render us participants in divine Life
and allow us a foretaste of the joy of eternal Life;
We adore and bless you.

Prostrated before You, source and lover of Life,
truly present and alive among us, we beg you.

Reawaken in us respect for every unborn life,
make us capable of seeing in the fruit of the maternal womb
the miraculous work of the Creator,
open our hearts to generously welcoming every child
that comes into life.

Bless all families,
sanctify the union of spouses,
render fruitful their love.

Accompany the choices of legislative assemblies
with the light of your Spirit,
so that peoples and nations may recognize and respect
the sacred nature of life, of every human life.

Guide the work of scientists and doctors,
so that all progress contributes to the integral well-being of the person,
and no one endures suppression or injustice.

Give creative charity to administrators and economists,
so they may realize and promote sufficient conditions
so that young families can serenely embrace
the birth of new children.

Console the married couples who suffer
because they are unable to have children
and in Your goodness provide for them.

Teach us all to care for orphaned or abandoned children,
so they may experience the warmth of your Charity,
the consolation of your divine Heart.

Together with Mary, Your Mother, the great believer,
in whose womb you took on our human nature,
we wait to receive from You, our Only True Good and Savior,
the strength to love and serve life,
in anticipation of living forever in You,
in communion with the Blessed Trinity.
Amen.
