Heavenly Father,
we believe that all human life,
regardless of the condition
of the body that houses it,
or of the mind that guides it,
is precious and sacred
for it comes from You.
Teach us to value life --
to protect, preserve and develop it.
Help us to see the face
of Christ in the poor,
the sick, the handicapped,
the elderly and the dying.
Help us to show understanding
and compassion for the helpless,
to do all we can to enable them
to live a life worhty of human beings,
and worthy of their dignity as
children of God and heirs of heaven.
This we ask through Christ, our Lord,
from Whom all good things come. Amen
.
