Lenten Prayer for Life

Lenten Prayer for Life

'40 Days for Life' and the U.S. Bishops are asking each of us to fast and pray daily to end abortion.

Father of all mercy,

we thank you for this season

of grace and light.

We know that sin has blinded us.

Draw us ever closer to you,

in prayer and penance.

Since you, O God, are light itself,

give all your people

a clearer understanding

of what is sin, and what is virtue.

Grant in particular that we may see

as never before,

the profound dignity of every human life,

including the vulnerable unborn children.

Give us grace to defend

our brothers and sisters in the womb

by our prayers, our words,

and our self-sacrificing actions.

We pray this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
