1. Prayer ServicePro Life Religion CPT Vanessa Montemarano

2. We begin with a sign of our faith... In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Amen.

3. Opening Prayer Lord, We thank you, Creator, for giving us the greatest gift of all: the miraculous gift of life. With each breath we take, we feel Your presence within us. We are alive, we are pure. O God of Beginnings, help us to be thankful for the life that we have. Help us to protect and nurture ourselves by respecting the life You have given us. Teach us to be appreciative children of God, to see how fortunate we are to be able to make our own decisions and to have the freedom to live. You created the womb in women so that human life would be possible. Some women disregard the miracle inside of them. They do not grasp the responsibility or importance they have within them. Please, Lord, guide these women to make the right choices and to respect all life, for all life, even when inside the womb, is a heartbeat that is being silenced. We love you, Lord, and we thank you for giving us life. We will not take advantage of it. Amen.

4. Scriptural Passage... Psalm 139:13-16 A reading from the book of Psalm.. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. The World of the Lord... Thanks be to God

27. “I was 16 and pregnant. At first I was in denial about it. There was no way I could be pregnant. I am a good kid, get A’s in all my classes, getting married in June. But then when I came to the realization it woke me up. I had a choice to make…everyone hate me or everyone never finding out. So I decided abortion was the only way out. I discussed it with my boyfriend, and we decided together that it was the best decision. I made an appointment. As I was waiting for my name to be called I was having second thoughts, but I thought nothing more of it. I went in and saw the baby on the monitor and watched as I killed my own baby. I know it is a harsh word, but that is what I did and didn’t even care. Now it is a year later and I still have flashbacks of what happened and also severe depression. I think if I had not killed my own flesh and blood I would have a one-year-old running around. I think of what I did that terrible day, and I wish that I had kept my little girl. Don’t kill your child and think it is the easy way out. Trust me, it is not. Every day I still wish my little girl was here.” --Carla Her Story...

28. Closing Prayer Dear Lord, Thank you for bringing us all together here today to discuss the importance of all lives. Every human life has an impact on the world. We pray that everyone will get the opportunity to do so. Often times people will feel like no one needs them in this world, like if they just disappeared, no one would even notice. If you think this way, don't, because whether you know it or not, someone loves you. Your life is invaluable, precious and pure. We hope and pray to make choices that protect all human life. We are all special. We all have the right to live. Please, Lord, give us the courage to be respectful beings and to have the strength to make the right decisions, even when it is hard. Amen.

29. We end with a sign of our faith... In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen.
