In the Heart of His Mercy booklet – Prayers to Heal the Wounds of Abortion
Fr. Frank Pavone as Pastoral Director of Rachel’s Vineyard and the Silent No More Awareness Campaign has composed this prayer booklet based on the truth that we are all wounded by abortion, whether we realize it or not (see AbortionShockwaves.com). The prayers are for those praying for the wounded and for the wounded praying for themselves. Prayer is not a substitute for the hard work of grieving and reconciliation, but is a necessary help to that process.
