In light of the coming elections, Bp. Michael Burbidge, the Chair of the U.S. Bishop’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, has sent out a prayer which Bishop Checchio is asking all of us to pray between now and Election Day:

The Prayer for Life to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

Jesus, you came that we might have life—and have it in abundance. Together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, you form us in our mothers’ wombs and call us to love you for all eternity. As your most precious gift of human life is attacked, draw us ever closer to your Real Presence in the Eucharist. Dispel the darkness of the culture of death, for you are the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. By the power of your Eucharistic Presence, help us to defend the life of every human person at every stage. Transform our hearts to protect and cherish all whose lives are most vulnerable. For you are God, forever and ever. Amen.
