Prayer to the Holy Spirit, Giver of Life
(priestsforlife.org)
Come Holy Spirit, Creator of all things...You who breathed over the waters at the dawn of creation and brought forth all living beings...You who filled the apostles when the Risen Lord breathed on them on the first Easter night, giving them the power to restore life to those dead in sin...You who, on the last day, will breathe again over all the dead and raise them from the grave--Come! Come and breathe on our world again, immersed as it is in the Culture of Death! Come, O Lord and Giver of Life! Defeat the works of death in our midst, that abortion may no longer stain our land. We worship You, O Holy Spirit, and we rejoice in You. We know that no matter how strong the forces of death may be, we can still find in You the endless source of life. Renew that life in each of us, and make us worthy apostles of the Culture of Life in our day! Amen.
I have not been able to pray on-site for a few weeks so it was so great to pray with Richard, Christine & Maribeth. Richard led the Holy Rosary & Chaplet then we all took turns reading from our 40 days for Life Booklet & ended with the Pledge of Allegiance. We were able to talk to a young woman who stopped by to ask, in her slow, gentle voice, "don't you all have something better to do." After talking to us & hearing about all the positive things we hear from folks passing by, pregnant women, postabortive women, postabortive men, she said "I guess it's good that you are out here." So that was a beautiful blessing for us!!! (Jenny)
