Father~ 

To-day we pray for those who have experienced abortion - for the mothers who have chosen this or are contemplating this as an option, for the fathers who have chosen this or coerced a mother into this, and for the children who have undergone this death. Forgive us LORD, heal us, change our hearts so that this murder is no longer even considered.

Be with all who are hurting as a result of choices made which hurt others. Be with all who are considering choices which will hurt others or themselves. Comfort where there is sorrow and pain, renew where there is no hope. 

May the light of Christ be so bright that all of us who ever experience despair be directed into new hope, new life, and new grace from You, Holy Father and Creator of all that is good.

Praise be Your Name, God Almighty!
Praise to Jesus Christ, Your Son!
Praise to Your good Spirit, our Paraclete!
