In fact no woman’s faith can be Mary’s equal. When we say in the Hail Mary, “Blessed art thou among women,” we are affirming the fact that Mary was so blessed by God because she so deeply believed in the God whom she carried for nine months before His birth. This, we may say, is what the women of the world today most need to be blessed with by their Lord: something of the faith of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Creator.

“Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, obtain for us from your divine Son something of His great love for human life, which He received from you and began in your womb. Help us to exert ourselves to the limit to safeguard the sanctity of all human life, whether born or unborn, whether helpless or strong. Ask Jesus, the Light of Life, to enlighten the leaders of nations that human life is to be loved, because that is why we are conceived--to serve God by loving others here on earth and be happy with Him and with our families, for all eternity. Amen.”

It is a refreshing notion coming from Latin Rite Catholics that perhaps devotion to the Most Holy Theotokos might, just might, advance the Pro Life cause, advance it perhaps more effectively than the increasingly strident political shrieking which is coming from some elements of the Latin Church.

The author suggests prayer to Panagia. That's certainly fine. I would suggest that all Latin Catholics find the nearest Orthodox Church and through the next four Fridays of Great Lent attend the Akathist to the Theotokos in the evenings.

Ταῖς πρεσβείαις τῆς Θεοτόκου, Σῶτερ, σῶσον ἡμᾶς!

Through the Prayers of the Theotokos, O Savior Save Us!
