KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 1381 NOVENA FOR LIFE
Beginning May 1st, please consider participating in the Knights of Columbus Novena for Life. The prayer below will be said daily from May 1st ending on Ascension Thursday, May 9th.
O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life.
