PRAY FOR IRELAND!

Tomorrow (NZ time) the people of Ireland will vote as to whether to repeal the 8th Amendment to their Constitution. That amendment protects the lives of the unborn from abortion. We pray that people vote “No” to this proposal, and keep the scourge of abortion out of their country. 

Let's hear it for gallant little Ireland, the nation that has withstood bullying from the UN who say it subjects women to 'cruel, inhumane and degrading' treatment for not allowing abortions.
Let's note that Ireland's maternal death rate is one of the best in Europe and way better than the UK.

Let's note that Ireland's GDP per capita is better than the US and far outstrips the UK. For those with eyes to see, that would seem to be God's blessing consequent on Irish care for His littlest ones.

And that the 'father of fetology', Professor Sir William Liley, a Kiwi, stated way back in the '70s that the life of her unborn child is never a threat to the life of the mother.

LET'S PRAY FOR IRELAND:

Oh God of Life, You have conquered death Through the death and Resurrection Of your Son, Jesus Christ, And you have made us the People of Life. You have blessed the great land of Ireland With the beauty of the Catholic Faith And with the commitment to defend The lives of the most defenseless children. Lord, we ask you today To protect that commitment. Keep the people of Ireland safe From the destructive power of abortion. Preserve them from the lie That abortion is ever a benefit to anyone. Protect the 8th Amendment From those who want to remove it. Send the Holy Spirit And bring Ireland a New Pentecost, That just as the Holy Spirit is our Advocate So we may always be advocates For the weakest among us, The children yet unborn. We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
