Roe v Wade Anniversary – January 22
This day is the 39th anniversary of the decision that opened the door to abortion in our country. This made abortion available for all 50 states and at all times of pregnanacy. You probably know someone who has suffered from the effects of abortion; you just may not know it. It is a secret that many take to the grave. We ask you to pray the Novena for Life this week, as we ask for God’s forgiveness for the taking of over 56 MILLION lives in the past 39 years – we will never know the impact these missing lives would have had in our country. This Novena begins on January 14 and ends January 22:
Novena for Life (from Priests for Life) – Prayer of Reparation
God and Father of Life,
You have created every human person,
and have opened the way for each to have eternal life.
We live in the shadow of death.
Tens of millions of your children have been killed
because of the Roe vs Wade decision legalizing abortion.
Father, have mercy on us.
Heal our land
and accept our offering of prayer and penance.
In your love for us,
turn back the scourge of abortion.
May each of us exult in hearts full of hope
and hands full of mercy
and work together to build a culture of life.
We pray through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
