THE ROSARY
FOR LIFE
THE JOYFUL
MYSTERIES
THE THIRD
JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE BIRTH OF CHRIST
-
God came to us at Bethlehem in
the form of a baby. May God come to each father
and mother who conceives a child. May the love
they learn to have for their baby open their
hearts for receiving the love of God. King
Herod sought the death of Jesus, we pray that
governments will recognize and respect the
humanity of the unborn.
THE FOURTH
JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE PRESENTATION
THE FIFTH
JOYFUL MYSTERY – FINDING JESUS IN THE TEMPLE
PRAYER TO
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE [PATRONESS OF THE UNBORN]
Holy
Mother, Lady of Guadalupe, your “yes” began God’s
redemptive plan which made us brothers and sisters
of Jesus and your children. Please ask your son,
Jesus, to guide us in this work He has chosen for
us.
We want to
cherish and protect all God’s children: the unborn
and expectant parents. We ask special intercession
for women and men wounded by abortion who seek
healing and wholeness.
Keep us,
dear Lady, in the crossing of your arms, in the
folds of your mantle. Guide and support our
uncertain steps as you once did for your divine
Child, Jesus.
Pray for
us, dear Mother, that more workers will be sent into
this vineyard and that all of us will be united in
His love.
Heavenly
Mother, Patroness of the Unborn, with confidence in
your dedication we offer all our pro-life efforts to
you. Mother of the Americas, return our beloved
country to respect all human life from conception
until natural death.
We ask this
in the name of your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, who
lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus,
protect and save the unborn.
IN CLOSING
FINALLY
A PRAYER FOR LIFE!
[LORD HELP US!]
"Dear Lord
Help Us To Love Life and To Reject Death of Your
Creation, Mankind.
To do that,
I ask You Lord to help us make You known, loved and
embraced by everyone that we will meet in our life.
For Lord, Your Reign is of Love and of Life, and it
is Here, Now and Amongst Us. Help us to make that
known to others.
Help us
also to show others 'Your Presence' by being there
for them in their time of happiness, joy and yes in
their time of sorrow. As You Lord did when You
walked among us … during Your Ministry on Earth.
Help us
also to bring support, love and hope to others where
they did not have it before in their lives. For You
Lord, even needed and accepted help from Simon of
Cyrene when You were not able to Carry Your Cross.
Finally, as
You Lord, brought us life through Your death on a
tree. Help us through our life [that You have given
us] to take away the death of hopelessness, sadness
and misery from your people, Who You love so much.
Then one
day as we finish our 'life race' serving ‘the least
of Your brethren’. We shall all be one with You,
the Author and Source of All Life, Happiness and
Peace. I ask this in Jesus Name.
Praise God
The Father, Praise God The Son Our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and Praise The Holy Ghost! Amen!

MEDITATION:
DO NOT DESPAIR, GOOD
OVERCOMES EVIL
God
certainly hears our prayers and good will overcome
evil ... it always does.
I wish I
could walk and pray with all good pro-life
advocates.
Yet I can
only join with all in spirit and in prayer in front
of Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood].
As we come closer to remembering again Christ's main
reason to be among us ...
that is to die on Good Friday, to rise on Easter
Sunday and to open the gates of Heaven to us all.
We and
surely all fellow pro-life advocates have been
blessed with miracles in our pro-life prayer
movement. God has been good to us with such an
outpouring of spiritual and prayerful support.
Yes the
American Abortion Holocaust will be defeated one day
… by God sending Satan who is behind the abortion
industry ... back to where he was cast originally.
Through our determined prayers and trust in God it
will happen sooner rather than later. Yet it will
happen.
In closing,
I thank and praise God for calling everyday people
to serve Him to protect and to save the unborn from
death by abortion. Surely there have been some who
were called but they declined God's Calling to save
His Creation. We pray for them.
Finally, to
all in Rocky River rest assured of our continued
prayers for you. That you too hear and respond to
God's Call to protect and to save the unborn. As we
stand, pray and protest abortion in front of Rocky
River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] in Rocky
River, Ohio.
