Day of Prayer for the
Legal Protection of Unborn Children
January 22, 2025
A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer.
Pope Saint John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, no. 100
