Heavenly Father, creator of all life, we come to you to day in prayer for 40 days for life. We thank you for the gift of Life that you have given to each of us. You have made us your children and have filled us with your Holy Spirit. We turn to you, Father, to ask for your protection for our unborn brothers and sisters. We pray that mothers and fathers will place the life of their unborn children above their own needs and wants. We pray that family and community members will offer their support for unborn children. We pray that the well-being of both mother and child will be the focus of all health care workers. And we pray that government leaders will seek ways to uphold the dignity of human life. We place all these prayers before you through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in the name of your son Jesus Christ. AMEN.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
