Prayer for the Child in the Womb

Every human life is beautiful, every human life is precious. Choose Life!

Day for Life 2012 marked the beginning of a dedicated Choose Life Month of Prayer, which ran from 7 October (Day for Life) to 6 November (Feast of All Saints of Ireland). A special prayer card was created for this initiative, which includes a ‘Prayer for the Child in the Womb’ and ‘The Precious Life of the Unborn Child’.

We ask that you continue to pray this Prayer for the Child in the Womb.

Choose Life: Prayer for the Child in the Womb

Lord Jesus, you are the source and lover of life.
Reawaken in us respect for every human life.

Help us to see in each child the marvellous
work of our Creator.
Open our hearts to welcome every child as a
unique and wonderful gift.

Guide the work of doctors, nurses and
midwives.
May the life of a mother and her baby in the
womb be equally cherished and respected.

Help those who make our laws to uphold the
uniqueness and sacredness of every human life,
from the first moment of conception to natural
death.

Give us wisdom and generosity to build a
society that cares for all.

Together with Mary, your Mother,
in whose womb you took on our human
nature,
Help us to choose life in every decision we
take.

We ask this in the joyful hope of eternal life
with you, and in the communion of the
Blessed Trinity.

Amen.

Our Lady of Knock, pray for us.
All the Saints of Ireland, pray for us.
