Prayer for the Conversion of Planned Parenthood

Print Version PDF Lord, for whom all things are possible, We are confronted once again today With the evil of the abortion industry And the corruption found In the world’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood. Lord, we pray for all who plan to be parents, And we ask your mercy on those Who teach others to reject parenthood. In the light of your Word, Lord, We affirm today that children are a blessing from you, And that the origin of all parenthood Is likewise in You, the God of life and love. Therefore, Oh God, We stand against the evil that has been exposed In Planned Parenthood And in the entire abortion industry. We stand today for the triumph Of truth over falsehood, Of light over darkness, And of life over death. Bring an end to the killing of children in the womb, And bring an end to the sale of their body parts. Bring conversion to all who do this, And enlightenment to all who advocate it. Close the doors of the death camps in our midst, And open the doors of your mercy and healing! Close the grisly trade in baby body parts, And open the abundant gifts of your salvation and life! Hasten the day when our land Will no longer be stained with innocent blood, And when the bodies of all your children Will be raised from the dead And set free forever. We pray in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen! –Rev. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life

 

A Christmas Poem Worth Reading!

‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas
By Tony Cooke and David Beebe

‘Twas the fight before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was peaceful,
Not even my spouse.
The bills were strung out on our table with dread,
In hopes that our checkbook would not be in the red.
The children were fussing and throwing a fit,
When Billy came screaming and cried, “I’ve been bit.”
And Momma with her skillet, and I with the remote,
She said, “You change one more channel and I’ll grab your throat.”
When on the TV there arose such a clatter,
I sat up on the couch to see what was the matter.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
The cable was out, it was my worst fear.
“The Cowboys, the Celtics, the Raiders, the Knicks,
Without the sports channel I’d soon need a fix!”
And then in the midst of my grievous sorrow,
I remembered the times I had promised, “tomorrow…”
“Not now, my children, but at some soon time,
Dad will play with you, and things will be fine.”
Now under conviction, I looked at my wife,
Where was my kindness? Why all the strife?
My heart quickly softened; I now saw my task,
Some love and attention was all they had asked.
I gathered my family and called them by name,
And told them with God’s help I’d not be the same.
We’ll keep Christ in Christmas and honor His plan.
No more fights before Christmas – on that we will stand.
My children’s eyes twinkled; they squealed with delight.
My wife gladly nodded; she knew I was right.
It was the fight before Christmas, but God’s love had come through,
And just like He does, He made all things new.
