Prayer for the End of Abortion

Please join us in prayer from now through 40 Days for Life (September 28-November 6) at the same time (3:00 pm, the Divine Mercy Hour, the time of day that our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross) asking God's blessings and the intercessions and intentions of Our Lady of America Queen of Peace patroness of our country, for all those participating in, procuring, suffering from or affected by abortion. 

Our outreach coordinator Carrie reminded us that if we can't pray at 3 o'clock... somewhere it is three o'clock.  Your prayers are welcome anywhere and anytime.  Once the campaign begins on September 28, the Dallas faithful will be gathering for 40 days, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, outside the Southwestern late-term abortion center at the corner of Greenville and Royal to stand vigil for the precious unborn losing their lives at this place of death (through 6 months of pregnancy!).  If you would like to join in the vigil, visit www.40daysforlife.com/dallas


Here is the prayer :


 Our Lady of America   
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF AMERICA PATRONESS OF OUR LAND 
O Immaculate Mother, Queen of our Country, open our hearts, our homes, and our Land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son.  With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of God's light shining in and about you.  Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity.  We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.  We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us. We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire.    Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us.  Use us, your children of America, as your instruments in bringing peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.  May your valiant Spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in "renewing the face of the earth."   Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen 
(200 days)
Written at the behest of Our Lady, October 5, 1956.
