"O God Almighty who chastises the nations and orders us to oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor: we give you thanks and we ask your forgiveness. Grant us amnesty from our sins against life as we grant amnesty to the sojourner. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. For every child denied his mother’s milk by scalpel and suction, may we feed another with our nation’s bread. Forgive us our trespasses. For every empty high chair at our nation’s table, may we add a setting for our neighbor. Let this act of reparation renew our nation in the love which binds us. May the immigrant see us as friends, and may this act of Charity enkindle in us the fire of Thy love. May the new mother look kindly on her child, and may our nation know the protective shelter of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of men."

A Pro-life Prayer for Amnesty
"O God Almighty who chastises the nations and orders us to oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor: we give you thanks and we ask your forgiveness. Grant us amnesty from our sins against life as we grant amnesty to the sojourner. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. For every child denied his mother’s milk by scalpel and suction, may we feed another with our nation’s bread. Forgive us our trespasses. For every empty high chair at our nation’s table, may we add a setting for our neighbor. Let this act of reparation renew our nation in the love which binds us. May the immigrant see us as friends, and may this act of Charity enkindle in us the fire of Thy love. May the new mother look kindly on her child, and may our nation know the protective shelter of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of men."
