The Ottawa 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil drew to a close with the Closing Rally on Sunday, November 2 at 6:00 p.m. at the Vigil Site, 84 Bank St., Southwest corner of Queen and Bank. 

We begin with a song and a prayer, followed by a candlelight procession to St. Patrick’s Basilica Scavi for a brief program and light refreshments. 

 

Although the vigil has ended, our prayers continue—for an end to abortion, for mothers and fathers who have experienced abortion, for expectant mothers considering abortion, for abortion workers, and for all whose lives have been touched by abortion.

The sound isn't great because of the background noise

We thank you Almighty Father for the gift of life, for your Goodness and Mercy, 

For the unconditional love, you have for each one of us. 

You are with us always, in our joys and in our sorrows and you will never abandon us. 

To your little ones who with a sad and heavy heart feel lost and alone, depressed, suffering from addictions and mental illness, we ask you to send earthly angels to help ease their burdens and to give them the Hope they seek and for which they so desperately need

We pray for our doctors and all health care workers that they never forget that they are chosen by You, Almighty God to be ministers of Your healing Power and that they always choose life for the men, women and children: the souls entrusted to them by You Heavenly Father.

We pray for our politicians and lawmakers that they humble themselves before You!

And we ask this through Jesus Christ Your Son and through the Power of the Holy Spirit

Amen
