Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, by the working of the Holy Spirit. In every age, You raise up men and women outstanding in holiness, whose faithful service has contributed significantly to the mission of the Church. In this very way, You used the life and work of Your servant, Archbishop Fulton John Sheen. He inspired great numbers of Catholics and other people of good will to grow in virtue and lead lives pleasing to You and of service to their brothers and sisters in need. He encouraged them to embrace the 'Gospel of Life' by recognizing that in all its circumstances, 'Life is worth living.'
If it be according to Your Will, Eternal Father, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton John Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his prayerful intercession
for a safe and healthy remainder of the pregnancy and delivery in 6 days of baby Young one.
I make this prayer confidently in Jesus' Name, through the merits of His Passion, Death and Resurrection.
Amen.
For today's sharing on October's Respect Life month, I wanted to share the story of a good friend of mine, Miss Teresa!! (scroll down and read "Teresa's life story") She is the sweet momma who cuts my hair, encourages and prays with me and some other wonderful women weekly during our prayer group, a fellow homeschooler, but most of all just a delight of a friend and sister-in-Christ! Love her to pieces!! You can read about her pro-life story here at Christie's blog, 10 kids of one mom (who is an amazing momma too!)
