| RESPECT LIFE PRAYER: Loving God, Creator of all life, You have known us for all eternity. Before You ever formed us in our mother's wombs, You knew us. Teach us to foster the loving care of all Your creation, including the unborn, the elderly, the handicapped, and the terminally ill. Help us to see anew the miracle and sacredness of all life, and give us a profound awareness of our responsibility toward this gift from You. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. | |||||||||
