Novena for the Unborn and for an end to abortion (Day 6)

Novena Day 6:

"be sure of this, that he

who brings back a sinner from the

wrong path will save a soul from death..."

(James 5:20)

Reflection: Lord Jesus, little Kimberly Mueller, and others like her , were 6 months old when they were born: tiny but alive, loved and cared for. Many children though, even at this stage or later are being aborted and so, what can we say Lord? How much it must pain You! How saddened You must be. Lord Jesus, we know that abortion is wrong, at any stage, but to kill a child at this stage when it could actually survive outside of the womb: why have we become so cruel? Lord Jesus, I pray today, for abortionists and all those promoting abortion. I pray Lord, that they may stop killing and start defending life and I thank You God for all those who have already changed their ways and are defending life. Thank You Jesus for their courage, their witness and their change of heart.

 

Today, spare 14 minutes to watch this non-graphical and not disturbing video of former abortionists and abortion promoters/counsellors giving their stories and defending life. (The actual speeches start on the 5th minute so if 14 minutes is too long, fast forward little...) Pray for abortionists and those who promote abortion to change and defend life.

 

Prayer:

 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 world
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.

May God continue to bless us through their work for life!)
