Prayer for the Honoring of Human Life

Father of all creation! You created us in Your image and likeness, with mind and heart, that we might know and love You above all. Help us to honor the dignity and worth with which You have endowed every person. Teach us to regard all people, without exception—regardless of their ethnicity, native language or skin color, religious affiliation, creed or worldview, political convictions and social status, or any other circumstances and differences—as brothers and sisters whom You have gifted with the same eternal purpose—to live happily with You for all eternity. Grant us wisdom and courage to protect and defend the rights of all people. Help us to resist any abuse against innocent human life and to correct them.

Help us to nurture this gift of human life from conception to natural death. By Your life‑giving Holy Spirit, open to us spiritual eyes and ears for the wisdom and guidance of Your Holy Word and the teaching of Your Christ‑bearing Church. Grant us the means to assist those whose lives are threatened by abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, and other forms of destruction or abuse. We ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus, Who died and rose from the dead for all humanity: in unity with the Holy Spirit—one God forever and ever. Amen.
