And for those men who suffer from abortion,
A prayer from our men's ministry
Good
St Joseph, spouse of Mary
Guide
and protector of the Holy Family
You
trusted God and opened yourself to receive the graces
You
needed to care for Jesus, Our Merciful Savior.
In
our lack of faith we rejected our children.
Whether
we promoted the abortion, or abandoned the mother,
We
know that the graces were always there for us
As
they were when you took Mary as your wife.
Some
others of us did not want the abortion,
Or
were ignorant of the existence
of
life until it was too late
Help
us to imitate you in forgiveness, obtain for us the grace to “divorce”
The
mother of our child quietly by showing the forgiveness your Son desires
St Joseph,
we are sorry for the lack of trust
That
caused us to abort our children,
or
the pride and anger that does not allow us to forgive.
Intercede
for us St Joseph, and obtain for us the graces we need
To
live as Christ calls us
We
know our children are in your care
Lead
us in a life of love and fidelity to the will of your Son
That
we may join you in heaven
And
share eternal life with our children
Praising
God forever for the mercy and love
He
has shown us.
Amen.
