Priests forLife - Novena Leading to the 40th Anniversary

Novena Leading to the 40th Anniversary
of Humanae Vitae July 17-25
(En Español)

Humanae Vitae

July 25, 2008 is the 40th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s historic and prophetic encyclical, Humanae Vitae, which expressed the Church’s teaching on human life and the meaning of human sexuality.

We invite all believers to pray the following prayer as we approach that day.

God our Father,
In you we find the fullness of life and love,
And the truth that they belong together.

In you we find the meaning of marriage,
Of the human body,
And of our responsibility to be open to life.

As we approach the anniversary of Pope Paul’s document on human life,
Bless your entire Church with a new generosity.

We rejoice that you are the Lord of our lives and our freedom,
Of birth and death and everything in between.

Keep us strong in saying “Yes” to life
And “Yes” to you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
