What an inspiring insight from St. Teresa of Calcutta! Let’s truly honor the divine plan for marital love and the gift of children by embracing natural, wholesome methods of family planning. Instead of focusing on ourselves, as can happen with contraception, let’s follow the path illuminated by St. Teresa. She encourages us to turn our hearts towards one another, just as we do in natural family planning. By doing so, we preserve the sanctity of our love. Let’s keep St. Teresa’s wisdom close, and remember that her intercession is always available when we seek it.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear St. Teresa,
You allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross
to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of His love to all.
Help us to treasure and protect the value and dignity of every human life.
Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others.
Please hear the petition I now implore…
(mention here the favor you wish to pray for).
Lord Jesus, born into a loving and caring human family, we turn to You in this moment of need.
We ask this in Your name and through the intercession of St. Teresa of Calcutta.
Amen.
