Prayer for Aborted Babies

Heavenly Father, 
Thou hast given us the gift of freedom 
to love and to follow in Thy ways and commands. 

Some parents choose to abuse this freedom 
by destroying the gift of life 
which Thou hast given to their offspring. 
Please forgive those who destroy human life 
by aborting their unborn babies. 

Give these unborn children the opportunity 
to enjoy Thee for all eternity, 
if it according to Thy ordinance. 

Assist me in being one in solidarity with Thy little ones 
by taking to heart the words of Thy Son, 
“whatever you did for one of these least brothers of Mine, 
you did for Me.” (Mt. 25:40) 

Therefore, allow me today, Father, 
to adopt spiritually an unborn child 
and to offer my prayers, works, 
joys and sufferings for that little one, 
so that child will be able to be born and live 
for Thy greater honor and glory. 

We pray this in Jesus’ name, 
in union with the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever.

Amen.

Acto de Contricion

Seńor mío, Jesucristo, Dios y hombre verdadero, 
Creador, Padre, Redentor mío, 
por ser vos quien sois, bondad infinita 
y por que os amo sobre todas las cosas, 
me pesa de todo corazón haberos ofendido, 
también me pesa porque podéis castigarme con
las penas del infierno. 

Animado con tu divina gracia, 
propongo firmemente 
nunca más pecar, confesarme 
y cumplir la penitencia que me fuera impuesta, 
para el perdón de mis pecados. 

Amén.

An Act of Abandonment

O my God, I thank you and I praise 
you for accomplishing your holy 
and all-lovable will without any regard for mine. 
With my whole heart, 
in spite of my heart, 
do I receive this cross I feared so much! 

It is the cross of Your choice, 
the cross of Your love. 
I venerate it; 
nor for anything in the world 
would I wish that it had not come, 
since You willed it. 

I keep it with gratitude and with joy, 
as I do everything that comes from Your hand; 
and I shall strive to carry it without letting it drag, 
with all the respect 
and all the affection which Your works deserve. 

Amen.

Act of Adoration 1

Jesus, my God, I adore You,
here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, 
where You wait day and night to be our comfort 
while we await Your unveiled presence in heaven. 

Jesus, my God, 
I adore You in all places 
where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved 
and where sins are committed 
against this Sacrament of Love.

Jesus, my God, 
I adore You for all time, 
past, present and future, 
for every soul that ever was, 
is or shall be created. 

Jesus, my God, 
who for us has endured hunger and cold, 
labour and fatigue, 
I adore You.

has deigned to subject Yourself 
to the humiliation of temptation, 
to the perfidy and defection of friends,
to the scorn of Your enemies, 
I adore You. 

Jesus, my God, who for us has endured 
the buffeting of Your passion, 
the scourging, the crowning with thorns, 
the heavy weight of the cross, 
I adore You. 

Jesus, my God, who, 
for my salvation and that of all mankind, 
was cruelly nailed to the cross 
and hung there for three long hours in bitter agony, I adore You.

Jesus, My God, 
who for love of us 
did institute this Blessed Sacrament 
and offer Yourself daily for the sins of men,
I adore You. 

Jesus, my God, 
who in Holy Communion became the food of my soul, 
I adore You. 

Jesus, for You I live. 
Jesus, for You I die. 
Jesus, I am Yours in life and death. 

Amen.

Act of Adoration 2

I adore Thee, 
O my God, 
present in the holy Eucharist, 
as my Creator, 
my Preserver, 
and my Redeemer. 

I offer Thee all that I have, 
all that I am, 
all that depends on me; 
I offer Thee my mind to think of Thee, 
my heart to love Thee; 
my will to serve Thee; 
my body to labour and suffer for Thy love. 

I am Thine, 
I give myself; 
I consecrate myself to Thee, 
I abandon myself to Thee, 
I wish to live and die for love of Thee.

Act of Adoration 4

My Lord Jesus Christ,
true God and true Man, 
I adore Thee with every fibre of my being! 
I adore Thee at every instant of time. 

I adore Thee in union with the Immaculate Heart 
of our Blessed Mother, Mary, 
in union with the pure Heart Of St. Joseph, 
in union with all Thy Angels and Saints 
in the Glory Of Heaven, 
in union with Thy just on earth, 
in union with the souls in purgatory. 

With this tribute of adoration 
I wish to adore Thee for all who do not adore Thee, 
to love Thee for all who love Thee not, 
to acknowledge Thee to be my God, 
for all who refuse to acknowledge Thee. 

Amen.
