Intercession:
For
the doctors, nurses, and counselors who now know they were wrong in
cooperating with abortion: may God grant them courage to renounce their
involvement in the abortion industry and open their hearts to doing his
will from now on.
Prayer:
Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be
Reflection:
Today
we honor the life of St. Agnes, a 12-year old girl martyred in Rome in
204 AD, during the Diocletian persecution. Agnes never wavered in her
commitment to remain a virgin and to give her whole life to the Lord,
refusing proposals to marry. Her innocence and heroism facing death
helped bring an end to the persecutions of Christians in Rome. Following
the example of St. Agnes, let us remain steadfast in recognizing
Christ, who is love Incarnate, as the source and summit of our lives.
May his love give us the determination and courage to live for him and
for others, especially the most vulnerable among us.
