Cleveland Council No. 733
PRO LIFE

In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church, the members of Cleveland Council 733 stand firm with our Supreme, State, and Local Councils on the "Right to Life" of all individuals. We affirm our belief that every human being, from the time of conception to natural death, has the right to God given life.

Our members pray the Rosary at each council meeting and near abortion clinics for the unfortunate souls who are deprived of this precious gift of life. We ask for the passage and ratification of a Human Life Amendment and ask our members, their families and friends to contact their Senators and Representatives and officials on all levels, and voice their opposition to abortion and all other senseless indignities to human life.

Prayer to God the Father of All Lifse

Eternal God, You have revealed Yourself as the Father of all Life. We praise You for the Fatherly care which You extend to all creation, and especially to us, made in Your image and likeness.

Father, extend Your hand of protection to those threatened by abortion, and save them from its destructive power. Give Your strength to all fathers, that they may never give in to the fears that may tempt them to facilitate abortions.

Bless our families and bless our land, that we may have the joy of welcoming and nurturing the life of which You are the source and the Eternal Father. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit, Giver of Life

Come Holy Spirit, Creator of all things...You who breathed over the waters at the dawn of creation and brought forth all living beings...You who filled the apostles when the Risen Lord breathed on them on the first Easter night, giving them the power to restore life to those dead in sin...You who, on the last day, will breathe again over all the dead and raise them from the grave--Come! Come and breathe on our world again, immersed as it is in the Culture of Death! Come, O Lord and Giver of Life! Defeat the works of death in our midst, that abortion may no longer stain our land.

We worship You, O Holy Spirit, and we rejoice in You. We know that no matter how strong the forces of death may be, we can still find in You the endless source of life. Renew that life in each of us, and make us worthy apostles of the Culture of Life in our day! Amen.
