Eternal rest grant unto your Precious Little One, Baby Amanda Marie, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Let us pray.
O God, You gave to us your Precious Little One, Baby Amanda Marie, as a Child who ought to have been loved. On behalf of those who took her life and the legislators who allowed her murder to take place under cover of unjust “law”, please forgive us and our land, O Lord, of these horribly egregious sins. May our sins against her not bring down Your Just Punishments upon us and those who killed her, but, rather, in Your Mercy, may You rain down more graces upon our land, according to Your Apostle’s very words, “Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.”
May our taking of her life before baptism not prevent her from experiencing the Blessed Vision of Your Face but, rather, in Your love, power, and mercy, may our prayers and penances, offered up to You, our God, out of love for her, be a fitting reason for You to grant this Precious Little One of Yours this most Supreme Gift of the Beatific Vision, and, on the Last Day, a glorious Resurrection along with perfect vindication of her before the entire human race, including those who killed her or supported her killing.
Finally, may the demons who were behind this murder be cast into hell, with Satan and all the other evil spirits, for having dishonored Your Precious Child, Amanda Marie.
We ask this through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
