I chose this prayer as on this date,
May 29, 1971, one of my favorite judges, Chief Justice Rayner Goddard, passed
away. I chose this prayer as I remembered that abortion was illegal during his
time as the Chief Justice.

Prayer for Our Courts and Judges
A Prayer for Justice for the Unborn
In the United States, the national
legalization of abortion occurred not through legislative action but through
court rulings, especially the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade.
This prayer, written by Priests
for Life, one of the chief Catholic pro-life organizations, seeks wisdom
for our judges and the politicians who appoint them, so that all unborn life
may be protected.
Prayer
for Our Courts and Judges
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of
our nation.
You alone rule the world with justice,
Yet you place in our hands the solemn duty
of participating in the shaping of our
government.
I pray today for our President and Senators
Who have the responsibility of placing judges
on our courts.
Please protect this process from all
obstruction.
Please send us men and women of wisdom,
Who respect Your law of Life.
Please send us judges with humility,
Who seek Your truth and not their own
opinions.
Lord, give all of us the courage we need to
do what is right
And to serve you, the Judge of all, with
fidelity.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!
