For Christians in areas of conflict: Let us pray that Christians living in areas of war or conflict, especially in the Middle East, might be seeds of peace, reconciliation, and hope.
Let us pray that all people may uphold the sanctity of human life from conception, reject abortion and contraceptive practices contrary to God’s plan for life and family, and receive children as His precious gifts.
