March For Life

For 44 years people who recognize the dignity and gift of LIFE from conception to natural death have been gathering in Washington on or as close to January 22 (Roe vs Wade)  as possible to raise consciousness about the priceless value of human life.  Today, students and adults from all over North America and even Europe are marching to the Supreme Court in peaceful prayer and song as the culmination of long travels, vigils and rallies for life.  Those of us who cannot make the physical trip might join the marchers in prayer today.  Here is a prayer composed by Father William Dailey that we might use in addition to our own:
Lord Jesus, Son of God, Son of Mary, you came that we may have life, and have it more abundantly. You are the Word through whom we were made. Teach us to live the Gospel of Life. Soften our hearts that we may be compassionate toward the most vulnerable. Embolden us to be voices for the voiceless. Help us always to remember that what we do for the least ones, we do for you—never to forget the incomparable value of every human person. In your Holy Name, we pray. Amen. (Faith ND)
