Thanks to the family of Adrien Delbasty and the family of Jeff Bourgeois for the following videos and pictures. Continued prayers and blessings🙏🏽

Just wanted to share the link for the Ignatian Family Rosary https://youtu.be/RSCyAXSeZgQ

The text of the prayer that was the inspiration and focus for each decade of the rosary below so that you can see how each one is framed.

Perhaps this can be a helpful resource in your communities for folks who are focused on the life issue of abortion and who might open their prayer to other life issues such as poverty, immigration, ableism, and racism.

Thanks for all your great work!

God of all life,

Help us to appreciate the great gift that is human life
formed in your image, a reflection of your holiness.

Help us to recognize you
in all whom you have created:

children not yet born, (Decade 1)

families affected by poverty and war, (Decade 2)

people of different abilities, (Decade 3)

people from other lands, and (Decade 4)

all who are victims of hatred and racism. (Decade 5)

Help us to bear witness to the dignity of all whom you have created,
regardless of stage of life,
or wealth,
or ability,
or color, or creed,
for every person is fully equal in your loving eyes.

Share with us your holy knowledge
that we are all your children,
each bestowed with inherent dignity.

May your justice reign forever!

Amen.
