Fortitude
Fortitude or the gift of courage enables us to speak the truth whether it is in a public or private setting. It helps us see the truth of experience of abortion and the suffering we endure through the gift of faith giving us the courage to move forward in healing even when it is difficult. It encourages us to change our way of life in order to follow Christ, often contrary to the ways of the world.
Lord, give us the gift of fortitude, that we may always speak the truth of abortion in whatever way you ask of each of us. Help us to know that your gift will sustain us as we move forward in our healing.
