March for Life

Note:  A huge "Nor'easter" heading for Washington DC today has cancelled the pilgrimage to our capital for many of us, the 24 of us from Central Catholic and the 800 from Notre Dame, to name a couple.  We can all join with the Notre Dame community in praying for life, the pilgrims who chose to brave the elements and go to Washington, as well as for mothers who are contemplating an abortion or who have already had one.  May God have mercy on all.   

Notre Dame Prayer for Life

Eternal God, source of all life, you have created us in your own divine image. By the power of the Holy Spirit, your Son became flesh and revealed to us the sanctity of all human life.
Grant, we implore you:

Protect all unborn children;
Guide and support all expectant parents;
Comfort the aged, the sick, and the dying;
Strengthen prisoners, especially those awaiting execution, and their victims;
And bring peace to our world, torn apart by war, terrorism, and countless other acts of violence against life.

May our Notre Dame community (as well as our Readers of Bro. Rene's Daily Bread)  bear witness to a seamless culture of life and so value the dignity and worth of every human being, from conception until natural death.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen
.
Bro. Rene
