O Heavenly Father, we pray this day for the children of the world. We pray that Thou wilt protect, guide, and provide for those children who are unwanted, unloved, abandoned or abused. We pray for those children who have been left unguarded by being orphaned. We pray for those most in peril, the unborn. Spare them, O Father, from the dangers of disease and drugs, an uncaring mother or father, but most of all from an untimely death at the hands of another. Replenish Thy Church, O God, with a fruitful offspring so that the Church may resound with the joy of their small voices that will one day turn to prayer unto thee, O Lord. Amen

Almighty and everlasting God, who welcomes the innocent babes who are martyred into larger life with open arms. Bless and defend those who minister in the sight of evil, that they may turn hearts through faith, prayer and witness to end this holocaust. May the power of your Holy Spirit, cause those who participate and perpetuate abortion, to repent, be converted and serve the cause of righteousness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
