Lord God, Father of all life, we praise and
honor you.
We thank you for the gift of life that in
your great love you have graciously bestowed on us.
Gather the Church of Boston to yourself so
that we might be transformed by your Light. Strengthen us that we may be
willing always to speak and to act on behalf of the sacredness of all
life. Guide and inspire us by the
Holy Spirit with wisdom, mercy, love and patient endurance.
United with Mary our Mother, all the angels
and saints, we ask you to bring about conversion in all whose acts and policies
lead to the destruction of life.
We pray this in the name of your Son, Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.

The
Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) threatens to undo all the pro-life legislative
gains that have been made over the last 36 years including making the
partial-birth abortion method legal again, require tax funding for abortion on
demand, nullify all state limits on abortion, including parental notification
for minors and may even threaten the closing of Catholic hospitals because they
would refuse to perform abortions. We urge everyone to support their local
parish initiatives aimed at overcoming this injustice.
