A Pro-Life Prayer: To the Redeemer in the Womb

Redeemer in the Womb

Lord Jesus Christ, You took our human nature upon Yourself. You shared our life and death, our childhood and adulthood.

You also shared our time in the womb. While still God, while worshiped and adored by the angels, while Almighty and filling every part of the universe, You dwelt for nine months in the womb of Mary. You were our Redeemer in the womb, our God who was a preborn child.

Lord Jesus, we ask You to bless and protect the children who today are in their mothers’ womb. Save them from the danger of abortion. Give their mothers the grace to sacrifice themselves, in body and soul, for their children. Help all people to recognize in the preborn child a brother, a sister, saved by You, our Redeemer in the womb.

Galatians 6:6-10

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. (Galatians 6:6)
      Jesus, help us bless and honor all faithful teachers of your word. Please raise up more teachers with a passion to teach the next generation.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (Galatians 6:7)
      Holy Spirit, please drive out all spirits of deception from the Episcopal Church.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. (Galatians 6:8 )
      Father, help us minister new life in your Spirit to all around us.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Galatians 6:9)
      Jesus, help us to be steady in you.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)
      Holy Spirit, please help us recognize and respond to the opportunities for doing good that are place in our path each day. Thank you.

“…come, follow me.” (Luke 18:22)
      Jesus, help me follow you today. Thank you.
