PRAYER OF ST. HILARY OF POITIERS

For Perseverance In Faith

Father, keep us from vain strife of words.

Grant to us constant profession of the Truth!

Preserve us in a true and undefiled faith

so that we may hold fast to that

which we professed when we were baptized

in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

that we may have Thee for our Father,

that we may abide in Thy Son

and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.

For an End to Abortion

Oh God, who is the Beginning and the End, hear our prayers as we cry out to you to end the merciless shedding of innocent blood in our nation and throughout the world. Through death you have conquered death and through your life we experience eternal and everlasting life. Cause life to spring forth in the hearts of all people and bring forth a love and respect for life that will dominate our culture. May your kingdom and church apprehend and overtake the culture of death that has prevailed through deceit and selfishness; may the Seed of the woman crush the head of the serpent through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL
