Missionaries of the Gospel of Life
Lay Associates
For those who are single or married and want to do pro-life
work in the context of the spirituality of the
Missionaries of the Gospel of Life.
|
Do you feel the
call, based in faith, to defend the lives of the unborn from
the horror of abortion? |
|
Do you also
feel the need for the support of the Church as you seek to
respond to the Lord and do this work? |
|
If so, join the
Missionaries of the Gospel of Life Lay Associates! |
|
The Lay Associates follow a spirituality based on that of
Priests for Life, as developed by Fr. Frank Pavone, National
Director. |
|
Along with
training priests, Priests for Life trains married and single
lay persons all over the nation who want to do their
pro-life work as “lay associates”
of the ministry. |

Lay Missionaries Prayer of Consecration
Precious Lord, I consecrate myself to you this day so
that I may love you with all my heart, soul, mind and strength
and love my neighbor as myself. I promise to live a chaste,
obedient, and simple life of faith and to nurture these promises
through the spiritual disciplines of prayer, study, community
and apostolic witness. I ask all this through Jesus Christ, the
Author of Life. Amen!
