Thursday, January 29th, 2004 - Prayer of the Week for the baptism of Emily

Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy!

O Master, Lord our God, call Your servant Emily to Your holy Illumination, and grant to her that great grace of Your holy Baptism. Put off from her the old man, and renew her unto eternal life; and fill her with the power of Your Holy Spirit, in the unity of Your Christ; that she may be no more a child of the body, but a child of Your kingdom. Through the good will and grace of Your Only begotten Son, with Whom You are blessed, together with Your most holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

I had the honor of participating in the Baptism my grandchild Emily on my birthday last Sunday at St. Herman's in Colorado. This prayer comes from the Service.

Tuesday, January 20th, 2004 - Prayer of the Week on Sanctity of Life

Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy!

O Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, Who are in the bosom of the Father, True God, source of life and immortality, Light of Light, Who came into the world to enlighten it: You were pleased to be conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary for the salvation of our souls by the power of Your All-Holy Spirit. O Master, Who came that we might have life more abundantly, we ask You to enlighten the minds and hearts of those blinded to the truth that life begins at conception and that the unborn in the womb are already adorned with Your image and likeness; enable us to guard, cherish, and protect the lives of all those who are unable to care for themselves. For You are the Bestower of Life, bringing each person from non-being into being, sealing each person with divine and infinite love. Be merciful, O Lord, to those who, through ignorance or willfulness, affront Your divine goodness and providence through the evil act of abortion. May they, and all of us, come to the life of Your Truth and glorify You, the Giver of Life, together with Your Father, and Your All-Holy and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
