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 number of
babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives
are made difficult, of men and women who are
victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and
the 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 civilization of truth and love, to the praise
and glory of god, the Creator and lover of life.
(Evangelium Vitae, 105)
