On January 22nd, 1973, the United States Supreme Court declared that the Declaration of Independence - the original document that separated the Colonies from Great Britain, was no longer true. The principals that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were God-given, unalienable rights were abandoned for convenience and selfishness.

 

Over the last 39 years over 50 million children have been aborted in the United States.

 

Fortunately, the tide is turning. Planned Parenthood has lost over 25% of its donations. States are starting to defund the abortion giant. Clinic directors such as Abby Johnson have left and are telling the true story about Planned Parenthood.

 

In two weeks we will mark the 39th anniversary of Roe V. Wade. Here are some suggestions to mark the day:

 

Join the largest prayer group in history, our Facebook cause “Pray to End Abortion!”  

The Catholic bishops of the United States have designated January 22 as a special day of prayer and penance in reparation for the massive killing that has resulted from the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision (handed down January 22, 1973) which permitted abortion throughout pregnancy.

Therefore, we at Priests for Life invite you to prepare spiritually for that day by joining a Novena that starts on January 14 and concludes on the 22nd. We invite you to say the prayer below each of those days, and to let us know through this form that you have committed to say it.

 
 Start the pro-life novena on January 14th

 
Prayer of Reparation


God and Father of Life,
You have created every human person,
And have opened the way for each to have eternal life.

We live in the shadow of death.
Tens of millions of your children have been killed
because of the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion.

Father, have mercy on us.
Heal our land
And accept our offering of prayer and penance.
In your love for us,
Turn back the scourge of abortion.


May each of us exult in hearts full of hope
And hands full of mercy
And work together to build a culture of life.

We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
