Day of prayer for the unborn children

Almighty Creator,

From the beginning you created human beings in your image and you ‘blessed’ your creation. We thank you, God, for the goodness of each of your creation and for the blessing that you bestowed upon each human being.

We humbly implore your mercy now to protect your creation from all harm, especially we pray for the protection of the unborn children. Make us learn to love them like you would love them; make us more aware of the dignity of all human life from conception to natural death.

May the unborn children leap in their mothers’ womb, like John the Baptist upon hearing Mary’s greeting, knowing that their mother (and father) love them and that their parents always ask Blessed Virgin’s intercession for them to grow as God’s beloved children. And as you Beloved Son was born into a loving and Holy Family, may all the Unborn Children be born into a loving family as well. We ask this, through Christ, our brother, who lives and reigns, forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
