Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe for the Unborn
By Catholic News Services
WASHINGTON -- Here is the text of the novena prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe which was recited for the unborn at the end of all Masses in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception of the March for Life on January 22, 1999.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, we turn to you who are
the protectress of unborn children and ask that you intercede for us, so
that we may more firmly resolve to join you in protecting all human life.
Let our prayers be united to your perpetual motherly intercession on behalf
of those whose lives are threatened, be they in the womb of their mother,
on the bed of infirmity, or in the latter years of their life. May
our prayers also be coupled with peaceful action which witnesses to the
goodness and dignity of all human life, so that our firmness of purpose
may give courage to those who are fearful and bring light to those who
are blinded by sin. Encourage those who will be involved in the March
for Life; help them to walk closely with God and to give voice to the cry
of the oppressed, in order to remind our nation of its commitment to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. O Virgin Mother
of God, present our petitions to your Son and ask him to bless us with
abundant life.

A note from the Web Master:
It is noteworthy and honorable that some folks are willing to stand up for a ban on Partial-Birth Abortion. Let us not forget that ordinary everyday Abortion is also murder. We must understand that murder is murder no matter the method. Because one method of abortion seems to be horrible does not justify the other methods. We should be horrified and sickened by any Abortion regardless of the method. The Fifth Commandment spells it out clearly: "Thou shalt not kill." A fetus is a person, a human being with a God given soul. Imagine the pain the Lord must feel when any Abortion occurs. Please contact both of your Senators and Representative, via letter or phone, to let them know how horrified you are that Abortions are legal and to stop Partial-Birth Abortions and all other Abortions as soon as possible. (It has become apparent that they do not respond to email therefore you will have more of an impact by writing or telephoning.)
