Our Lady of Guadalupe

A Prayer for Abortion Victims

Prayer for all victims of abortion. May those involved in abortions be reconciled to God and may the innocent dead be saved.

Holy Mother of God and of the Church, our Lady of Guadalupe, you were chosen by the Father for the Son through the Holy Spirit.

You are the Woman clothed with the sun who labors to give birth to Christ while Satan, the Red Dragon, waits to voraciously devour your child.

So too did Herod seek to destroy your Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and massacred many innocent children in the process.
So today does abortion killing many innocent unborn children and exploiting many mothers in its attack upon human life and upon the Church, the Body of Christ.

Mother of the Innocents, we praise God in you for His gifts to you of your Immaculate Conception, your freedom from actual sin; your fullness of grace, your Motherhood of God and the Church, your Perpetual Virginity and your Assumption in body and soul into heaven.

O Help of Christians, we beg you to protect all mothers of the unborn and the children within their wombs. We plead with you for your help to end the holocaust of abortion. Melt hearts so that life may be revered!

Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all mothers and all unborn children that they may have life here on earth and by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son that they may have eternal life with Him in heaven. We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all abortionists and all abortion supporters that they may be converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Defend all of your children in the battle against Satan and all of the evil spirits in this present darkness.

We desire that the innocent unborn children who die without Baptism should be baptized and saved. We ask that you obtain this grace for them and repentance, reconciliation and pardon from God for their parents and their killers.

Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite power of merciful love. May it put an end to evil. May it transform consciences. May your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. May Christ the King reign over us, our families, cities, states, nations and the whole of humanity.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, hear our pleas and accept this cry from our hearts!

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Protectress of the Unborn, Pray for us!

2007 Saint

Moneybags over at A Catholic Life is doing a 2007 Saint for Devotion.

At this time last year I started the 2006 Saint for the Year Devotion along with someone that I found through the Internet. Over the course of the past year, I have had 474 individual requests for a special saint for the year. This is amazing! And starting today I will be taking names of anyone that wants to take part in this devotion for the year 2007.


Be sure to check it out.

Corpus Christi Part Deux

I thought my post on our Corpus Christi procession left a little bit to be desired, so I thought I would expand a little bit on it.

In attendance were about 12 Knights of Columbus members, 8 or more altar boys (that's right, altar boys not altar girls), and 3 priests. Our parish really has only one priest at this time, he is retired, and he has taken over the parish only temporarily until we are assigned a new priest after our wonderful pastor passed away in February. The other two priests were just visiting.

As I wrote last night, normally the procession is outside, but the weather was rainy so they had it inside. I was really looking forward to taking pictures this year, but because it was inside I felt a little uncomfortable taking so many pictures inside and I ended up missing the actual procession in photographs. It really was a wonderful sight to see though. Hopefully I will be able to take pictures next year outside with a new pastor.

So here are the rest of my pictures, sorry they aren't any better, but I never claimed to be a good photographer. Oh and all pictures are clickable to get a slightly bigger image.

You can kind of make out a couple of the altar boys in this picture they are the ones wearing white and red.

Corpus Christi

Our parish had a Corpus Christi procession today. Normally it is outside but today it was raining and misting so we had it inside. Here is a picture I took.

About Me

My photo
Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.
