The US Bishops are encouraging Catholics to continue praying the daily Saint Joseph prayer for the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the availability of the abortion pill. Please consider joining in if you aren’t already doing so (see below).
To be prayed daily until the US Supreme Court issues a decision next month:
Dearest St Joseph, at the word of an angel, you lovingly took Mary into your home. As God’s humble servant, you guided the Holy Family on the road to Bethlehem, welcomed Jesus as your own son in the shelter of a manger, and fled far from your homeland for the safety of both Mother and Child.
We praise God that as their faithful protector, you never hesitated to sacrifice for those entrusted to you. May your example inspire us also to welcome, cherish, and safeguard God’s most precious gift of life.
Help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the service and defense of human life —especially where it is vulnerable or threatened. Obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things. Amen.
