Pray for the Unborn

We travel to Washington, D.C. today to begin our witness to life. Many will follow us tomorrow to witness with us. May God bless our efforts as we pray together,

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
we turn to you who are the protectress of unborn children

and ask that you intercede for us,
so that we may more firmly resolve 

to join you in protecting all human life.
Let our prayers be united to your perpetual motherly intercession 

on behalf of those whose lives are threatened, 

be they in the womb of their mother, 

on the bed of infirmity, or in the latter years of their life.

May our prayers also be coupled with peaceful action 

which witnesses to the goodness and dignity of all human life, 

so that our firmness of purpose may give courage 

to those who are fearful and bring light to those who are blinded by sin.

Encourage those who will be involved in the March for Life;
help them to walk closely with God and to give voice to the cry of the oppressed,
in order to remind out nation of its commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all people.

O Virgin Mother of God, present our petitions to your Son and ask Him to bless us with abundant life. 

Amen
