During this Holy season, when we make ourselves open to accepting our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by celebrating the birth of his earthly life, it is more appropriate and important than ever to pray for the healthy birth of all children. That means an end to abortion. Thus, Father Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, has written a beautiful Advent Prayer for Life. We hope you pray it often during Advent and even throughout the year.

God of Life,
We rejoice in the promise of your coming.
You have sent your Son, born in Bethlehem.
He is the Prince of Peace, and
The one in whose name all oppression shall cease.
May we welcome his coming each day
And prepare for his coming at the end of time.
May we build a culture that welcomes him
By welcoming every child, born and unborn.
We pray through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
