Prayer for the
Non-Passage of the
Reproductive Health
Bill
Oh God our Father, source
and origin of life, make us
always grateful for the gift of
life, especially of the gift of
children.
During these trying times in
our society where our
legislators and leaders view
children as burdens and a
drag to our progress and
economic advancement and
thus has brought about the
formulation of a Reproductive
Health Bill, we ask for your
Holy Spirit for enlightenment
and truth.
We ask for your mercy and
forgiveness for those who as
of now fail to see the
sanctity of life in every
human being especially of
the unborn.
Make us aware that artificial
family planning is not the
answer to our current
problems.
But instead open the hearts
of our leaders for them to
realize that the goods of the
earth are meant to be shared
by all.
Teach us to be patient,
humble and dignified in spirit
even in the face of meager
means of livelihood.
Most Blessed Mother
Mary, create in us the
resignation to God’s
will, to accept the
children given to us just
as you have received the
Child Jesus.
Our dear St. Joseph, foster
father of Jesus and
powerful guardian of the
Holy Family, protect our
Filipino families in this our
struggle against the
powers of the enemy.
Our Father, we lift up to
you our prayers in the
name of your Son Jesus
Christ and in the power of
the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
