Prayer for Healing

The following prayer was written by Msgr. James Moroney for the Hope After Abortion website. Visit this site to find other prayers related to abortion.

Eternal Father,

Source of all mercy and love,

out of love for us you sent your Son,

and willed that blood and water

flow from his side to cleanse us of sin

and restore lost innocence.

Hear the cry of each woman who mourns

the loss of her child to abortion.

Forgive her sin, restore her to your grace,

and still the terror of her heart

with a peace beyond all understanding.

Through the intercession

of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

Mother of all tenderness and our mother,

strengthen her faith in you.

Give her the consolation to believe

that her child is now living in the Lord.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

who conquered sin and death,

and who lives and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
