Prayer request for week 8

Today we observe week #8 of the Novena for the Legal Protection of Human Life! Please answer Bishop O’Connell’s call to each of us to join Catholics across the nation in prayer, action and fasting, when possible, to promote the Church’s Pro-Life efforts on each Friday from August 3 to September 28.

Bishop O’Connell and the USCCB recommend praying one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be for the intention of life from conception to natural death on each of the Fridays of the Novena.

In addition to prayer and fasting, we are also asked to further educate ourselves and those around us about pro-life issues. Below is a link to a recent issue of the USCCB’s “Life Issues Forum”. I encourage each of you to read this and to explore the many other articles on:
