On the Feast day of the Holy Innocents, we can invoke this prayer for the aborted. And in our time, those innocent that die in war, especially in the genocide of Gaza.
Prayer for an Aborted Child
Most Merciful Lord, the Giver of Life; we entreat You, look with compassion and tender mercy upon Your children who have been condemned to death by abortion and genocide. You, who said, “Suffer the little children to come to me and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” do now we humbly pray, grant the inheritance of Your Kingdom to the multitude of innocents who have perished in their mother’s wombs by the unjust judgement of men. We beseech you to soften the hearts of people who seek to destroy Your little ones. Pour out upon them Your Divine grace that they may be convicted in their hearts and turn from their evil ways to embrace the True Faith. Upon those that have committed this cruelty: render not unto them according to their deeds, but rather have mercy on them. Pierce their hearts with compunction and make their eyes stream with tears of repentance, joining their weeping with that of Rachel and her beloved children. For You are a merciful God, the Giver of Life and the Lover of Mankind, and to You we render glory, with Your eternal Father and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever.
Amen
