Day 2 - For Childless Mothers

Meditation: Abortion takes more from a mother than the life of her child. More than the smiles, the first words, the first steps, the love and the hugs are lost. Abortion is unnatural. The emptiness a mother feels after an abortion is also the loss of her ‘humanness’. It is a loss which leaves mothers with a profound sense of loneliness and abandonment.

Prayer: O Mary, Mother of the Word Incarnate, through the power of the Holy Spirit, humanity and divinity were united in your womb. Accept our prayers for childless mothers and intercede with your Son to restore these mothers in His grace. In their loneliness reveal yourself to them as their loving Mother.

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, one Glory Be

Recite the Memorare: REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
