*In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father, you have gathered us here today in prayer and vigil for the greatest and most important of reasons—the defense of life. You have revealed Yourself as the Father of all life, help us to nurture and protect that gift, especially on behalf of the weakest and most vulnerable of our society.

We are here to pray for the conversion of all of those politicians and judges in this country and in the world who do not respect and protect your gift of life. Change their hearts and minds and help them to know the truth—to work against unjust and irrational laws—and bring an end to abortion in this country and the world.

We are here to pray as well for our own conversion, in sorrow for the ways that we allow the culture of death a place in our own life and in our world. Keep us faithful to you and to the Gospel of life proclaimed by your Son.

We pray for all those who work in health care and especially those who work in the abortion industry—open their eyes to the true nature of their actions and through your perfect and infinite mercy bring them to conversion and repentance.

We pray especially for all men and women who are tempted by abortion, and we ask you to extend Your hand of protection to those threatened by abortion, save them from its destructive power. Give Your strength to all fathers and mothers that they may never give in to the fears that seek to enslave them.

Finally Lord, we offer our prayers for those who still live with the consequences of abortion, those mothers and fathers who daily struggle with the decisions of their past—through your mercy heal them and help them to experience your forgiveness and new life.

We entrust especially our prayers to Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Mother of us all, we turn to her today as the one who said “Yes” to Life, to Him who is Life itself. Intercede for all of us, bring all of our prayers to your Son, that He may give us grace and strength to be worthy apostles of the Culture of Life, and to bring an end to the culture of death.
