KANSAS CITY, Missouri, JAN. 18, 2011 (Zenit.org).- The bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph is asserting that manmade law should uphold and protect human life, and citizens have the responsibility to work to ensure this.

Bishop Robert Finn affirmed this in an article published today by the diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Key. He expressed support for the annual March for Life, which will take place in Washington, D.C. on Monday. Each year since the Jan. 22, 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States, marchers from across the country have taken to the streets in the nation's capital in protest. The bishop noted that several buses of people from his diocese will be traveling to Washington, D.C. .... MORE

 

 


A Pro-Life Prayer For Our President And Public Officials

Baby with TearLord God, Author of Life and Source of Eternal Life,

 

Move the hearts of all our public officials and especially our President, to fulfill their responsibilities worthily and well to all those entrusted to their care.

 

Help them in their special leadership roles, to extend the mantle of protection to the most vulnerable, especially the defenseless unborn, whose lives are threatened with extermination by an indifferent society.

 

Guide all public officials by your wisdom and grace to cease supporting any law that fails to protect the fundamental good that is human life itself, which is a gift from God and parents.

 

You are the Protector and Defender of the lives of the innocent unborn. Change the hearts of those who compromise the call to protect and defend life. Bring our nation to the values that have made us a great nation, a society that upholds the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.

 

Mary, the Mother of the living, help us to bear witness to the Gospel of Life with our lives and our laws, through Christ, Our Lord.

 

Amen.

Prayer for the Unborn

Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.

 

Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.

 

Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image - as well as theirs - made for eternal life.

 

Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother can give.

 

We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
