National Black Catholic
Apostolate for Life
Prayer for Life

God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
gaze upon our African American community as we pray for
an end to violence and a halt to abortion among us.
Touch our minds and hearts, and fix them on life and love.
Turn us to seek the wisdom of our ancestors.

Jesus the Giver of Life, make us a People for Life.

Bless us, so that we may pass on a legacy of your life 
and grace. Strengthen us to sacrifice ourselves for each other. 
Shower us with your grace and mercy so that we may be sources
of light and hope to those less fortunate among us.

Jesus the Giver of Life, make us a People for Life.

Bless those who are sick, broken, lonely and forgotten.
Bring us all to your everlasting arms at the end of our 
 journey with a clean heart, so that we may rest in praise and
thanksgiving, joined to all who have gone before us. 
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen! Amen! Hallelujah! Amen!

Jesus the Giver of Life, make us a People for Life.
