PRAYERS FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE IN THE WOMB Prayer of Saint Pope John Paul II – Evangelium Vitae O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.

Lord of Life, we rejoice this Easter because Easter has loosed its grip on you. The tomb cannot hold you. The stone is rolled away. The burial cloths testify to your triumph over death.

With my prayers for you before the Empty Tomb and in the presence of the Eucharistic and Risen Saviour! Sr. M. Louise pddm PDDM Chapel of Adoration, Dublin
