Norma McCorvey was the “Roe” in Roe v. Wade. She never did have an abortion. Like so many in the Pro-Life movement, Norma had a conversion and became a great supporter of LIFE. Norma died yesterday at the age of 69. May she, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Dear Lord Jesus, help us to show kindness to all, including the weakest of the weak, the unborn. Let us learn from you, who have never failed to lavish kindness and mercy on all creatures. “With enduring love I take pity on you” (Isaiah 54:8). Indeed “All the paths of the lord are kindness and constancy” (Psalm 25:10).
Kindness is, of course, love in action, so we beg you, Dear Lord Jesus, to fill us with love. You have told us that the greatest commandment is “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind: (Matthew 22:37), and only if we obey that can we truly obey the second, which is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). We ask you this in your name. Amen.
