Day for Life Praver We thank you Lord for the gift of Life Holy Mary, Mother of Love, holding in your arms the fruit of your womb, Graciously look upon our earth and remove from it all that hardens our hearts and dims our eyes to the preciousness of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death. Through the example of your tenderness, teach us the ways of compassion and love, that we may build up the civilization of love among us and a society that is truly worthy of the human person. i Help us to reject all that contributes to a culture of death, and to work with others of goodwill in promoting the culture of life. Bring us ever closer to your Son, so that we may know the fullness of life that he offers us, and come to know that life more perfectly with you, and all the angels and saints in the eternal life of Heaven.
