The Staff of Catholic Exchange urges all its viewers to pray always for an end to abortion and the promotion of the Culture of Life. Today, especially, on this 29th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, we invite the prayers of all for all that is pro-life. Below is one of many good prayers that cry out to heaven for an end to the brutality of abortion.
Mother Mary, as you carried your Divine Child in your womb you rejoiced and glorified the Lord.
Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who think of murder, not motherhood. Help them to see that the child they carry is made in God's image–as well as theirs–made for eternal life. Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother alone can give.
Inspire all of us to support and nurture a Culture of Life–a culture in which no man or woman would even consider ending the life of a child yet unborn.
Mary, Mother of Christ, show us all, one day, the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Amen
