Br. Patrick Mary Briscoe, O.P. & Br. Jordan Zajac, O.P. rally at the March for Life in Washington, D.C.

Father and maker of all,
you adorn all creation
with splendor and beauty,
and fashion human lives
in your image and likeness.
Awaken in every heart
reverence for the work of your hands,
and renew among your people
a readiness to nurture and sustain
your precious gift of life.

Grant this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, forever and ever.

Amen
