RESPECT LIFE NOVENA DAY 2
Day 2 Respect Life Novena
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
May every child in his or her mother's womb be protected in law and welcomed in love!
Pray Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's, and a Glory Be.
Reflection for Day 2:
Scripture tells us that God fashioned human life in His image and likeness as the crown of creation; but He did not stop there. His love for us was so great that He became human, further elevating the dignity of our humanity. Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mary and, like each one of us, grew and developed as a preborn child beneath the shelter of His mother's heart. This reveals the undeniable humanity of preborn children and the intrinsic value of all human life.
Abortion tragically rejects these truths, ending the life of a child and harming those involved in many and varied ways. Like the Blessed Mother, we are called to welcome, protect and nurture the gift of new life from its first and most fragile moments. Following Jesus means caring for and protecting those who are most vulnerable and helping others to do the same. May each of us work to ensure life is protected and cherished in our laws and in our hearts.
Acts of Reparation:
Disconnect for one day. Allow God to speak to you in the silence of the day.
Read Psalm 139. Consider the incomprehensible dignity of each and every human life.
Offer a prayer, a sacrifice or an act of penance today for this Respect Life intention.
One More Step:
Supporting Life in our hearts also requires supporting Life in our actions. Be Pro-Life at the polls. Review: respectlife.org/priorities-at-the-polls
Amen.
