Rosary for Life

Opening Prayer
Almighty God, Our Father, You have given us life to know, love and serve You in this world, grant us Your grace. Enlighten our minds to an awareness and to a renewed conviction that all human life is sacred because it is created in Your image and likeness. Help us to teach by word and the example of our lives that human life is precious because it is the gift of God whose love is infinite.
Give us the strength to defend human life against every influence or action that threatens or demeans it, as well as the strength to make every life more human in all its aspects.
Intentions for Each Mystery
1. Give us the grace when the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one has the authority to destroy unborn life.
2. Give us the grace when a child is described as a burden or is looked upon only as a means to satisfy an emotional need, to stand up and insist that every child is a unique and unrepeatable gift of God, a gift of God with a right to a loving and united family.
3. Give us the grace when the institution of marriage is attacked, to affirm fathers and mothers in their vocations to build the domestic church.
4. Give us the grace when the sick, the aged or the dying are abandoned in loneliness, to stand up and proclaim that they are worthy of love, care and respect.
5. Give us the grace when basic necessities are denied the poor, to stand up and reaffirm the demands of justice and to work for their relief and defense.
Closing Prayer
Almighty Father, give us courage to proclaim the supreme dignity of all human life and demand that society itself give its protection. We ask this in Your name, through the redemptive act of Your Son and in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
