Mother Teresa Project
(in printable format)
The Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago has matched each parish with an abortion clinic to pray for its conversion. We have spiritually adopted Dimensions Medical Center on Golf and River Rd. in Des Plaines. You are asked to pray this prayer individually and also communally at parish gatherings and meetings. These prayers will be offered for the conversion of the abortionists, the “counselors,” volunteers, and parents who come to the clinic, and for the protection of the women and the unborn children who are brought there.
Prayer for the Closing of an Abortion Mill
Father, all life is in Your care.
You have entrusted us to one another,
that we may show our brothers and sisters
the same love You have for us.
We pray, then, for the least among us,
the children in the womb.
Protect them from the violence of abortion.
We pray for those that are scheduled to die at Dimensions.
Save them from death.
Give new hope to their parents,
that they may turn away from the desperate act of abortion.
Grant conversion to the abortionist and to the staff.
Show us how we are to respond to the bloodshed in our midst,
and lead us to the day when this place of death
will be transformed into a haven of life.
Guard us with your peace,
for in You, life is victorious.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
“Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.”
