Novena for the protection of life

Saint Elizabeth Seton,

you knew the beauty of all human life

when you carried a child in your womb

and when, as a young widow,

a teacher, and founder of the Sisters of Charity,

you sought to live the Gospel of Life.

Inspire us, intercede for us, and be with us.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

You know the sacrament of Holy Matrimony;

Teach us to support all families with faith and truth.

You know the love of a good spouse;

Intercede for all newly married couples.

You know the stirring of the child in your womb;

Intercede for every unborn child.

You know the miracle of giving birth;

Pray for mothers tempted by abortion.

Amen.
