Prayer for Terri Schiavo:

Heavenly Father, take our poor Terri up into your Heart and hold her for all eternity as your most beloved daughter. She has suffered the crushing indignity that you saw your own Son suffer on that terrible day of His death. Like Him, she was put to death unjustly and by the wickedness of men. Like Him, she will live again and show to the world a beacon of hope reminding us that death never has the last word.

Send your holy angels to conduct her into heaven and may she rest in the comfort of her mother and ours, the Virgin Mary, comfort of all the afflicted and help of Christians.

Now that her life is ended, Lord, we ask you to restore the conscience of America through Terri’s intercession. Show us the way out of such a perfect cesspool of moral compromise and wickedness. Cleanse your Church of all its false prophets, raise up political leaders with integrity and make Terri’s sacrifice a fulcrum of conscience in our world that will transform it from its hateful culture of death into an assured culture of life.

Stay with us, Dear Father, and we will never renounce you or our sacred promise to preserve and defend life unto the very last drop of our blood. Evil and death has its hour, but life reigns forever. Amen.
