Mother of us all,

Sweet Mary,

please pray to your son, Jesus,

for all the tiny, unborn lives in danger this day...

Please offer them into His good mercy,

and ask that we, in our pain and ignorance,

will commit no violence against them.  

Please, ask tender Jesus to open our eyes,

and to heal our souls from mortal wounds,

and ready our hearts and arms to hold each other

through any kind of pain or danger.  

Ask Him, also, to ready our hearts and our arms

to hold a precious baby....  

amen.
