The Gospel of Life

In your love you gave me life, and in your care watched over my every breath.

Job 10:12

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 civilisation of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.

SAINT Pope John Paul II
