Nativity of Our Lord will witness visibly, as a parish to instill dignity & respect for human life from conception to natural death.  We affirm that all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God.  We will pray and work to bring a conversion of heart and mind, for all to be open to God's special gift of life.  We will support those in crisis, and join with those involved in Respect Life work.  We will also inform and educate people of all ages about life facts and issues that threaten precious human life.  We will courageously and unashamedly take a stand for life.
 

40 Days for Life prayer

Dear God, I pray that you will meet me and reveal to me my why.  Give me clarity in my purposes so that I can play the part you've called me to play in reaching out to hurting, grieving, and frightened women and men who are facing unexpected pregnancies or who are grieving in the the aftermath of an abortion.  Give me the courage to help save lives.  I lift up all the 40 Days for Life volunteers around the globe.  Give them the courage to share their whys and embolden them with the persistence and resilience they need to stand in peaceful, prayerful vigils.  Thank you, Lord, for inspiring this movement that has saved and transformed so many lives.  Amen.

~Life is precious, handle with prayer~
