Respect Life Sunday

Intercessions for Life

"For our President, members of Congress, and the Supreme Court, that they might renounce the death of the unborn, and imbue within our laws respect for all life from conception to natural death; We pray to the Lord:

"For medical researchers, that they may be inspired and strengthened by a love for every human person, from the first moment of conception; We pray to the Lord:

"For all who have grown very old, that we might cherish their presence in our midst and drink deeply of their wisdom; We pray to the Lord:

"For those who pray before abortion clinics, who march for life, or who witness to the rights of all human beings: that God might strengthen and guide them; We pray to the Lord:

For a spirit of repentance and conversion, that the culture of death may be defeated by the power of the Cross of Jesus; We pray to the Lord:

"For the families of those condemned to die: that the hope of the resurrection and the truth of the Gospel of life might strengthen them in their time of need; We pray to the Lord:"
