The joy of the gift of life!
January 19, 2024
Dear Family of Mary!
Today, in the United States, we are praying for a change in our country. We are praying for an end to abortion, and a renewal of the sanctity of life at every stage. In honor of this day, I want to share with you a message from Our Lady, and a prayer for life written by the Sisters of Life, a wonderful new community founded to help create a culture of life in our country.
May Our Lady, Queen of Peace, intercede for us, that we can become People of Life!
Our Lady said to us:
November 25, 2005
“Dear children!
Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray
until prayer becomes life for you.
Little children,
at this time, in a special way,
I pray before God to give you the gift of faith.
Only in faith will you discover
the joy of the gift of life
that God has given you.
Your heart will be joyful thinking of eternity.
I am with you and love you with a tender love.
Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Our Lady shows us the way to receiving the joy of the gift of life! This is what our nation, and all nations need! The powerful and fundamental gift of faith leads us to fall in love with life, our own life and the lives of all our brothers and sister, born or not yet born.
Let’s pray with the Sisters of Life:
Eternal Father, Source of life,
open our hearts to see and desire
the beauty of your plan for life and love.
Fill us with your Holy Spirit
so that our love will be generous and self-giving
and we may be blessed with joy.
Grant us great trust in your mercy.
Forgive us for not receiving your gift of life
and heal us from the effects of the culture of death.
Instill in us and in all people
a sense of the sacredness of every human life.
Inspire our efforts to protect and care for the most vulnerable;
especially women who are pregnant and their unborn children,
the sick, and the elderly.
Strengthen us in the hope that with you nothing is impossible.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,
who by his Cross makes all things new. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mother of Life,
pray for us.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
