October's Teaching Moment
Bishop Burbidge, Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, affirms that abortion remains Catholics’ pre-eminent priority as it has destroyed over 65 million unborn lives in America, and he invites us to pray this prayer between now and our national elections:
Prayer for Life to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Jesus, you came that we might have life—and have it in abundance. Together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, you form us in our mothers’ wombs and call us to love you for all eternity. As your most precious gift of human life is attacked, draw us ever closer to your Real Presence in the Eucharist. Dispel the darkness of the culture of death, for you are the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. By the power of your Eucharistic Presence, help us to defend the life of every human person at every stage. Transform our hearts to protect and cherish all whose lives are most vulnerable. For you are God, forever and ever. Amen.
