The above link is a link to a painting that is called “Mother of the Unborn”.
“Miss Tidwell, an American artist, was inspired to paint this beautiful depiction of our Blessed Mother grieving over the millions of aborted babies. Normally, a picture like this would take her months to finish. She completed this in two hours.
The stars around Mary’s head represent the crown of the Woman of the Apocalypse (12.1): “A woman adorned with the sun, standing on the moon, and with the twelve stars on her head for a crown.” The large star is the “Star of Bethlehem”. The rose colored ball in the lower left corner is the earth in turmoil. The glow of her most Immaculate heart is an evident sign of the tremendous love for all her children, especially the most helpless of all.
The incessant weeping over this horrendous evil has blackened her lovely eyes. The baby’s Guardian Angel seems to be saddened over the death of his charge and grateful for the Blessed Mother’s care and concern.
The baby bears the five wounds of our Precious Savior. Note, both baby and Angel are weeping and the baby’s hands are clasped in prayer.
The reason the Blessed Mother’s hand and fingernails are dirty is because she has to scoop and dig out these precious souls from the trash bins, garbage dumps, and as in Wichita, Kansas, from a pile ready to be burned with dead animals at their dog pound.” (Rosary Novena for Life, Oct. 28 1992.)

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary
(Litany of Loreto)
| Lord, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Christ, graciously hear us. The response after each is “have mercy on us”
The response after each is “pray for us”
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord. Graciously, spare us, O Lord. Have mercy on us. Pray fo us, O holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. |
|
| During Advent:
Let us pray – O God, you willed that, at the message of an angel, your word should take flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary; grant to your suppliant people, that we, who believe her to be truly the Mother of God, may be helped by her intercession with you. Through the same Christ our Lord. . Amen. |
