Novena of Reparation for Roe vs. Wade, January 14-22
|
The Catholic bishops of the
United States have designated January 22 as a
special day of prayer and penance in reparation
for the massive killing that has resulted from
the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision (handed
down January 22, 1973) which permitted abortion
throughout pregnancy.
Therefore, we at Priests for
Life invite you to prepare spiritually for that
day by joining a Novena that starts on
January 14 and concludes on the 22nd. We invite
you to say the prayer below each of those days,
and to let us know through this form that you
have committed to say it.

Prayer of Reparation
(Click
here for the Spanish
version -- En Español)
God and Father of Life,
You have created every human person,
And have opened the way for each to have eternal
life.
We live in the shadow of death.
Tens of millions of your children have been
killed
Thanks to the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing
abortion.
Father, have mercy on us.
Heal our land
And accept our offering of prayer and penance.
In your love for us,
Turn back the scourge of abortion.
May each of us exult in hearts full of hope
And hands full of mercy
And work together to build a culture of life.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
