Emergency Prayer Alert
Friends,
Priests for Life urges you to pray that the current health care
reform bills being debated in Congress do not result in an
expansion of abortion. Please use the prayer below, and sign up
to let us know that you are saying it each day! For more
information on the pro-life implications of the current health
care reform debate, see

Read my column on this issue -
"Stealth" Care.
Thanks!

Prayer for our Nation’s Health Care Reform
Lord Jesus, you are the Divine Physician,
And the source of all life and health.
Guide our nation at this critical moment,
As our government seeks health care reforms.
Give our elected officials the humility to know
That they are servants, not masters.
Give them the wisdom to realize
That every life has equal value.
Give them the strength to resist the idea
That some lives can be sacrificed to save others
Or that killing the unborn is a part of health care.
Give your people the courage to speak up
And to hold public officials accountable for their actions.
Save us, Lord Jesus, from a culture of death,
And let every reform in our public policy
Be based on the reform of our hearts and minds
In the light of your Gospel,
For you are Lord forever and ever. Amen.

Brothers and sisters,
Prayer is the foundation of all we do in the pro-life movement, and we invite you to join tens of thousands of others who are offering, each day, a prayer of commitment to build a culture of life.
We urge you to pray, throughout the year, the daily prayer to end abortion. You will find the link to this prayer below. We invite Christians of every denomination to join in saying this prayer each day, and to let us know that they are saying it.
When you sign up you will
have an opportunity to leave your email address
with us. This will also enable you to receive my
regular pro-life commentary every two weeks.
Thank you for joining this
prayer effort. Please spread the word!
Throughout 2009, Priests for
Life will invite believers to participate in the
several special Novenas of prayer. As each
Novena begins, we will post a link below to the prayer that can
be said for that Novena.

A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a
prayer which will rise up throughout the world.
Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may
an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and
lover of life, from every Christian community, from
every group and association, from every family and
from the heart of every believer.”
– Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of
Life
(Evangelium Vitae), n. 100.
