A Reflection from the JPIC Office

Prayer for our Nation's Health Care Reform

Lord Jesus, You are the Divine Physician,
and the source of all life and health.

Guide our national at this critical moment
as our government seeks health care reforms.

Give our elected officials the humility
to know that they are servants, not masters.
Give them the wisdom to realize
that every life has equal value.
Give them the strength to resist the idea
that some lives can be sacrificed to save others
or that killing the unborn is a part of the health care.

Give your people the courage to speak up
and the hold public officials accountable for their actions.

Save us, Lord Jesus, from a culture of death,
and let every reform in our public policy
be based on the reform of our hearts and minds
in the light o YOur Gospel.
For you are Lord forever and ever. Amen.

--Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life--
