NOVENA PRAYER DAY2-9
1 Our Father...
O Heavenly Father,
Creator and Giver of all life,
Author of justice,
Source of love and mercy:
Although it is deserving of thine anger and punishment,
look with mercy on our nation,
which has offended thee
by condoning the killing of millions of innocent children,
thy precious sons and daughters,
who, like all of us,
were created in thine image and likeness,
but whose only offense was their very existence.
Amen.
O Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, Our Redeemer,
whose inestimable gift of self-sacrificing love
provided the means of Salvation for all mankind
through the shedding of thine innocent blood:
grant that all may come to know thee,
serve thee and love thee,
and thus may know the meaning of true freedom and true liberty,
which never destroys,
but always serves and protects life.
amen.
O Holy Spirit, source of wisdom,
knowledge, understanding, counsel,
fortitude, piety and holy fear:
inspire us with these gifts.
Fill the hearts of the leaders of this nation,
especially those who have the temporal power
and the grave responsibility to make
and interpret and execute laws,
with the desire to do God’s will,
to restore justice
and to establish laws
that govern the people of this land
in conformity with the Divine Law,
laws that will preserve,
protect and defend the lives of all sons and daughters of God,
from their earliest beginnings until death.
Amen.
O Mary, Mother of Jesus,
entrusted to be the mother of God’s only begotten Son, Our Savior,
through thine obedient consent to God’s will,
and who thus became for all people
and all time the model of faith
and of the self-giving love and devotion of Motherhood:
take into thy motherly arms all the babies who are victims of abortion,
that they may receive eternally the comfort of a mother’s love.
May thine example and intercession
open the hearts of all who reject God and His holy laws.
comfort all those who suffer remorse because of abortion,
and restore to hope in Christ
those mothers and fathers who grieve
and repent the killing of their children.
Amen.
All Angels and Saints:
may thy guidance and example
show fallen humanity the way to perfect joy
and freedom and peace found only in unity with God
in obedience to His will through salvation in Christ Jesus;
and may thy constant prayers be joined by those
of all the little children,
the “slaughtered innocents”
as a “cloud of witnesses” interceding for sinful man.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
3 Hail Mary...
1 Glory Be...
Amen
