Pro-Life Rosary
Lord God, I thank you for my life and the lives of my brothers and sisters. Help us all understand that abortion ends life, that it violates the right to life you have given to each of your children - from conception to natural death. I commit myself to defend life until all my brothers and sisters are protected and safe. Give me the grace to speak out in defense of the unborn. Help me do what I can to make others aware of the sanctity of life and our moral responsibility to end abortion. Amen.
