LIFE CHAIN - RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY - October 5

Mark your calendar for Sunday, October 5 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm. Life Chains will again form along local streets across the United States and Canada.

Standing publicly, Christians will witness to the value of life and pray silently for an end to abortion. Stand with us as we prayerfully let our neighbors know that abortion hurts women, too.

Please join Our Lady of the Ridge-St. Linus Parishioners as we attend this life-saving event on 159th Street between Harlem Avenue and 80th Avenue in front of Wendy’s 7360 W. 159th Street, East of Harbor Freight on the north side of 159th Street. Please plan to arrive at 2 pm to get your sign and find your spot.

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
