A day to remember the unborn...

Today is the National Day of Remembrance of the Unborn

We thank you today , O God,

that you have called us to share

in the  life of the one human family.

We thank you for all our brothers and sisters

and ask You to deepen the bonds of love among us.

We thank you especially

for our youngest and smallest brothers and sisters,

those in the womb.

We remember them today, Lord,

while so many choose to ignore and forget them.

We remember those who are living,

and commend them to your protection.

We remember those who have died

and we commend them to your loving mercy.

Father, we ask you to watch over

all who witness to the humanity

of our youngest brothers and sisters.

We pray for consolation and comfort

for those who have lost their children.

We pray, Father, that we,

the living stones of the Church,

may be witnesses to the dignity of life,

the gift of your hand entrusted to our care.

May we praise you forever, O God,

for the victory of life which is ours

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
