BRIGHT DAWN
"O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the
living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the
vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of poor whose lives are made
difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of elderly and
sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who
believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the
people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift
ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and
the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with
all people of good will, the civilisation of truth and love, to the praise and
glory of God, the Creator and lover of life."
- our dear Pope John Paul ii -
Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual Light shine upon him,
may he rest in peace
