Gerard's Thoughts and Commentary

Prayer to End Abortion   Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death By the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through our Lord. Amen. -In the Palm of Your Hand - Priests for Life. http://www.priestsforlife.org/
