BASSINETTE FOR LIFE - January 14-15 through January 28-29

Beginning the weekend of January 14-15, there will be a Bassinette for Life collection helping moms and their babies.

We are in need of: diapers, baby wipes, layette items, onesies, sleepers, sweaters, clothes, baby blankets and crib sheets. These NEW items will be brought to local pro-life groups. The bassinette collection of baby items will continue until the weekend of January 28-29.

Please bring your donations to the gathering space / vestibule of either Our Lady of the Ridge or St. Linus worship site. Once again, we thank you for your generosity to so many people.

Litany for the Unborn

We pray to Jesus,
That unborn children may have the gift of life,
Suffering Christ hear us
That laws be passed to protect the right to life of the unborn,
Suffering Christ hear us
That our nation return to reverence and respect for all life,
Suffering Christ hear us
That God answer the prayers of those women who seek the gift of motherhood,
Suffering Christ hear us
That mothers who are unable to keep their babies choose the gift of adoption,
and give others the chance to share the gift of love,
Suffering Christ hear us
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph I Love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that
I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”
Amen.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
