The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), no. 373, designates January 22 as a particular day of prayer and penance for abortion, called the "Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children."
On this special day, I invite you to say a prayer for all those children who will be killed today just because their mothers don't want them. And pray for the mothers of these unborn children, that they will make the right choice, keep the baby, and draw closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Abortion is worse than the Holocaust. We've got to end it somehow and someday soon. This January will be the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Please pray, especially today, that this decision will be overturned and that the Rights of the Unborn Children everywhere will be protected and respected.
Please don't be silent about abortion. Say a prayer for these poor children who have no one to defend them. Stand up for those without a voice.
Prayer for the Unborn Child
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, and is 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 alone can give. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
