A Pro-Life Prayer
for Our President and Public Officials
Lord God, Author of Life and Source of Eternal Life,
move the hearts of all our public officials and especially
our President, to fulfill their responsibilities worthily and
well to all those entrusted to their care.
Help them in their special leadership roles, to extend the
mantle of protection to the most vulnerable, especially
the defenseless unborn, whose lives are threatened with
extermination by an indifferent society.
Guide all public officials by your wisdom and grace to
cease supporting any law that fails to protect the fundamental
good that is human life itself, which is a gift from
God and parents.
You are the Protector and Defender of the lives of the
innocent unborn. Change the hearts of those who compromise
the call to protect and defend life. Bring our
nation to the values that have made us a great nation, a
society that upholds the values of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness for all.
Mary, the Mother of the living, help us to bear witness to
the Gospel of Life with our lives and our laws, through
Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
