Plea to Saint Francis for Respect for Life

Gentle Saint Francis you were so devoted to the humanity of Christ.
Your heart burst with appreciation toward God for taking on human life.
You saw beauty and goodness in all living things - in birds that sing,
the fish that fill our waters, and in all things that live in nature.

Help us to imitate your reverence for life wherever it may be.
Especially, humble Francis of Assisi, help us to see the worth of each living,
unborn baby sheltered in its mothers womb.

May all mankind have the grace to understand that these tiny
budding lives have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Amen.
