Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell kick off EWTN’s coverage of the March for Life by talking to some of the people on the ground preparing to converge on the National Mall. Guests include Bishop James Conley, celebrant and homilist of last night’s Mass at the National Shrine in Washington, Sr. Mary Gabriel on the scene at LifeFest where the doors will be opening this morning to thousands of pro-life students, and Teresa Tomeo, who will be reporting live from the Mall during today’s March.

A Prayer for Life

Heavenly Father, thank you
for the precious gift of life.

Help us to cherish and protect
this gift, even in the midst of fear,
pain, and suffering.

Give us love for all people,
especially the most vulnerable,
and help us bear witness to the
truth that every life is worth living.

Grant us the humility to accept
help when we are in need,
and teach us to be merciful to all.

Through our words and actions,
may others encounter the
outstretched hands
of Your mercy.

We ask this through
Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
