Tuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time

Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children

Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 5:1-13 Obedience
Mass: Heb 6:10-20; Resp Ps 111; Mk 2:23-28


With you, O Lord, is the fountain of life, and in your light, we see light.


There is so much to pray for. Today we remember and pray for all victims of crimes that violate the dignity of the human person made in the image and likeness of God, including but not limited to, victims of all forms of human trafficking, domestic violence, rape as a form of genocide, and abortion.

God our Creator,
we give thanks to you,
who alone have the power to impart breath of life
as you form each of us in our mother's womb;
grant, we pray,
that we, whom you made stewards of creation,
may remain faithful to this sacred trust
and constant in safeguarding the dignity of every human life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(Collect, Mass)

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR NAME, O LORD, GIVE ME LIFE.
(Entrance Antiphon, Mass)
