Lord, make us good stewards of your manifold graces bestowed upon each of us today. In particular, make us grateful for your gift of life. May we defend human life from conception to natural death. May we realize how precious and sacred life is. Grant us rather the ability to live our life each day not to serve our needs only but at the service of you and our brothers and sisters in love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St Charles Borromeo, bishop, pray for us.
