Prayer for Life

     Father and maker of all,
     you adorn all creation
     with splendor and beauty,
     and fashion human lives
     in your image and likeness.
     Awaken in every heart
     reverence for the work of your hands,
     and renew among your people
     a readiness to nurture and sustain
     your precious gift of life.

     Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
     who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
     God, for ever and ever.

     Amen.
