Abortion prayers

Prayer To God the Father of All Life

Eternal God, You have revealed Yourself as the Father of all Life. We praise You for the Fatherly care which You extend to all creation, and especially to us, made in Your image and likeness.

Father, extend Your hand of protection to those threatened by abortion, and save them from its destructive power. Give Your strength to all fathers, that they may never give in to the fears that may tempt them to facilitate abortions.

Bless our families and bless our land, that we may have the joy of welcoming and nurturing the life of which You are the source and the Eternal Father. Amen.

Prayer To the Virgin Mary

O Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of us all, we turn to you today as the one who said “Yes” to Life. “You will conceive and bear a Son,” the angel told you. Despite the surprise and the uncertainty about how this could be, you said yes. “Be it done unto me according to your word.”

Mary, we pray today for all mothers who are afraid to be mothers. We pray for those who feel threatened and overwhelmed by their pregnancy. Intercede for them, that God may give them the grace to say yes and the courage to go on. May they have the grace to reject the false solution of abortion. May they say with you, “Be it done unto me according to your word.” May they experience the help of Christian people, and know the peace that comes from doing God’s will. Amen.

Pope Benedict’s Prayer For the Unborn

Lord Jesus,
You who faithfully visit and fulfill with your Presence
the Church and the history of men;
You who in the miraculous Sacrament of your Body and Blood
render us participants in divine Life
and allow us a foretaste of the joy of eternal Life;
We adore and bless you.

Prostrated before You, source and lover of Life,
truly present and alive among us, we beg you.

Reawaken in us respect for every unborn life,
make us capable of seeing in the fruit of the maternal womb
the miraculous work of the Creator,
open our hearts to generously welcoming every child
that comes into life.

Bless all families,
sanctify the union of spouses,
render fruitful their love.

Accompany the choices of legislative assemblies
with the light of your Spirit,
so that peoples and nations may recognize and respect
the sacred nature of life, of every human life.

Guide the work of scientists and doctors,
so that all progress contributes to the integral well-being of the person,
and no one endures suppression or injustice.

Give creative charity to administrators and economists,
so they may realize and promote sufficient conditions
so that young families can serenely embrace
the birth of new children.

Console the married couples who suffer
because they are unable to have children
and in Your goodness provide for them.

Teach us all to care for orphaned or abandoned children,
so they may experience the warmth of your Charity,
the consolation of your divine Heart.

Together with Mary, Your Mother, the great believer,
in whose womb you took on our human nature,
we wait to receive from You, our Only True Good and Savior,
the strength to love and serve life,
in anticipation of living forever in You,
in communion with the Blessed Trinity.

Holy Mother of God and of the Church,

our Lady of Guadalupe,

you were chosen by the Father for the Son through the Holy Spirit.

You are the Woman clothed with the sun

who labors to give birth to Christ while Satan,

the Red Dragon,

waits to voraciously devour your child.

So too did Herod seek to destroy your Son,

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

and massacred many innocent children in the process.

So today does abortion killing many innocent unborn children

and exploiting many mothers

in its attack upon human life and upon the Church,

the Body of Christ.

Mother of the Innocents,

we praise God in you for His gifts to you

of your Immaculate Conception,

your freedom from actual sin;

your fullness of grace,

your Motherhood of God and the Church,

your Perpetual Virginity

and your Assumption in body and soul into heaven.

O Help of Christians,

we beg you to protect all mothers of the unborn

and the children within their wombs.

We plead with you for your help to end the holocaust of abortion.

Melt hearts so that life may be revered!

Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart

for all mothers and all unborn children

that they may have life here on earth

and by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son

that they may have eternal life with Him in heaven.

We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart

for all abortionists and all abortion supporters

that they may be converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ,

as their Lord and Savior.

Defend all of your children in the battle against Satan

and all of the evil spirits in this present darkness.

We desire that the innocent unborn children

who die without Baptism should be baptized and saved.

We ask that you obtain this grace for them and repentance,

reconciliation and pardon from God for their parents and their killers.

Let there be revealed, once more,

in the history of the world the infinite power of merciful love.

May it put an end to evil.

May it transform consciences.

May your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart

reveal for all the light of hope.

May Christ the King reign over us,

our families, cities, states,

nations and the whole of humanity.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary,

hear our pleas and accept this cry from our hearts!

Our Lady of Guadalupe,

Protectress of the Unborn,

Pray for us!

40 Days for Life is the largest internationally coordinated pro-life mobilization in history, helping people in local communities end the injustice of abortion through:

Prayer & Fasting

Knowing that “with God, all things are possible,” people of faith and conscience unite in 40 days of prayer and fasting

Community Outreach

The pro-life message is taken proactively to every corner of your community during a local 40 Days for Life campaign

Peaceful Vigil

A focused, 40-day, round-the-clock prayer vigil is held outside an abortion facility or public place in your city

“I hope and I pray that you will join us in this 40 days of prayer and fasting and help overturn Roe v. Wade, because we didn’t have a choice in the beginning with the Supreme Court justices — they decided it for us.”

Norma McCorvey, formerly “Roe” of Roe v. Wade

“The Holy Father greatly appreciates the dedicated work that you and everyone involved in 40 Days for Life are engaged in to promote respect for the lives of all unborn children. His Holiness assures you of his prayerful support for you, your colleagues and all those whose prayer, fasting and sacrifices are saving countless lives and giving glory to God.”

Pope Francis, via Vatican Secretariat of State

“40 Days for Life brings 2 Chronicles 7:14 into 21st century focus. As one human race, we become united in prayer. Glory to God!”

DR. ALVEDA KING, NIECE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

“I am in this movement today because of ordinary people who took on an extraordinary task. My former abortion clinic is closed because of their sacrifice. Babies are alive because of them. Women are no longer being hurt by abortion in their community. You can do this. You can save a life. I now stand alongside you in this 40 Days for Life movement.”

Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director

“40 Days for Life is a testimony to the power of prayer and what can happen when we’re consumed by a magnificent obsession, namely that life is sacred and every baby at every stage of development deserves to be protected under law. God is on the move amidst the darkness.”

Jim Daly, Focus on the Family

“40 Days for Life helps us to be spiritually aware of the need to pray for our unborn brothers and sisters, empowering us to be on the front-lines, reaching out to mothers and fathers with a message of hope. There is no movement more important, and 40 Days for Life is leading the fight, spiritually, and practically, in the trenches every day.”

Lila Rose, Live Action

“Fasting and praying with 40 Days for Life unifies pro-life energies and illuminates us with grace in our efforts to conquer the culture of death. I strongly encourage every person and organization that believes in the dignity of life to join the 40 Days for Life campaign to end abortion, restore families, and renew communities for life.”

Peggy Hartshorn, Ph.D., Heartbeat International

“Historians will write about the crucial role that 40 Days for Life played in the end of legal abortion. We encourage each young activist that we train to become involved or lead a 40 Days for Life campaign in their community because we believe it is one of the most effective ways for our movement to abolish abortion.”

Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life of America

“Priests for Life and I are delighted to have been involved in 40 Days for Life from its inception, and to share the vision and trumpet the call that the Body of Christ belongs in front of abortion centers, to turn despair into hope and death into life!”

Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life

O most merciful, all gracious and compassionate Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, Son of God:

We entreat Thee, most gracious Master: look with compassion upon Thy children who have been condemned to death by the unjust judgment of men. And as Thou hast promised to bestow the heavenly kingdom on them born of water and the Spirit, and who in blamelessness of life have been translated unto Thee; and Who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven”—we humbly pray, according to Thy unfailing promise: Grant the inheritance of Thy kingdom to the multitude of spotless infants who have been cruelly murdered in the abortuaries of this land; for Thou art the resurrection and the life and the repose of all Thy servants and of these innocents, O Christ our God.

Turn the hearts of those who seek to destroy Thy little ones. We beseech Thee to pour forth Thy healing grace upon them, that they may be convicted in their hearts and turn from their evil ways. Remember all of them that kill our children as on the altars of Moloch, and render not unto them according to their deeds, but according to Thy great mercy convert them—the unbelieving to true faith and piety, and the believing that they may turn from evil and do good.

O Holy Master, Almighty Father and pre-eternal God, Who alone made and directs all things; Who rises up quickly against the evil of the impious ones; Who, by providence, teaches Thy people preservation of justice and the obliteration of evil on earth; Who condescends to raise up warriors for the protection of the people of God: we entreat Thee with compunction, that as Thou didst give David power to defeat Goliath, and as Thou didst condescend through Judas Maccabeus, to seize victory from the arrogant pagans who would not call on Thy Name; so too, grant protection to us, Thy servants against the enemies rising against us as we go forth to do spiritual battle against the evil one and those who do his will rather than Thine.

For Thou art a merciful God, and lovest mankind, and unto Thee do we ascribe glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Amen.
