LET US PRAY...
As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.
Here is an excerpt from my latest book due to be published by the end of the year:
PRAYING THE PSALMS FOR THE UNBORN CHILD
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.
In all the psalms Jesus or His Church is praying to the Father [1].
Psalm 10
Agony in the Garden
This psalm, like the previous psalm, is about the last judgment [24]. This is also the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prays for justice.
O Lord, why are You so hard to find when we are in trouble? (10:1) The arrogant and wicked person persecutes the poor; let the wicked one be caught in his own trap (10:2). The wicked one takes pride in his evil intentions, extols greed and rejects God (10:3). The wicked one arrogantly ignores God (10:4). He is successful and does not fear the Lord's judgment; he mocks his enemies (10:5). His sinful behavior does not concern him since he believes he will always be successful no matter what he does (10:6).
He curses, lies and bullies; he causes trouble and spreads evil (10:7). He hides in the shadows where he can kill the innocent undetected; he secretly plots against the defenseless (10:8). Like a lion in his den, he waits to pounce on his poor unsuspecting victim and subdue him (10:9). Feigning weakness, he defeats the defenseless with his strength (10:10). He says to himself that God pays him no attention; God will never see his evil deeds (10:11).
Rise, O Lord, and strike the wicked; do not forget those who suffer (10:12). The wicked despise God. He tells himself that God will not hold him accountable for his actions (10:13). But You have seen his evil deeds and those who have been wronged look to You for justice, for You are the helper of the defenseless (10:14). Strike down the evil and sinful man and destroy his wickedness (10:15). The Lord is King forever; no nation can stand against Him 10:16).
Lord, You have heard the desires of the afflicted; You will lift their spirits; You will hear their supplications (10:17). You will favorably judge the defenseless and the oppressed, but those who do evil will be condemned and will never harm anyone again (10:18).
Prayer for life: Dear Jesus, You hear the cries of the poor defenseless aborted children who plead for justice. You see the wicked's disregard for Your laws and how they murder the innocent. You will destroy them and banish them from Your kingdom. But I, Lord, reject evil and count myself among those who love You and seek to do the Father's will. Help me, Lord, to welcome my child into the world with open arms as You will one day hopefully welcome me into Your kingdom. Amen.
Psalm 10
A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.
1Why do You stand afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
2In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD.
4The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, "There is no God."
5His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
6He says to himself, "I will not be moved;
Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity."
7His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he kills the innocent;
His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
9He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair;
He lurks to catch the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
10He crouches, he bows down,
And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
11He says to himself, "God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it."
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted.
13Why has the wicked spurned God?
He has said to himself, "You will not require it."
14You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
The unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the helper of the orphan.
15Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16The LORD is King forever and ever;
Nations have perished from His land.
17O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear
18To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror. [25]
[1] St. Athanasius 682.
[24] St. Athanasius 687.

PRAYING THE PSALMS FOR THE UNBORN CHILD
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.
In all the psalms Jesus or His Church is praying to the Father [1].
Psalm 10
Agony in the Garden
This psalm, like the previous psalm, is about the last judgment [24]. This is also the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prays for justice.
O Lord, why are You so hard to find when we are in trouble? (10:1) The arrogant and wicked person persecutes the poor; let the wicked one be caught in his own trap (10:2). The wicked one takes pride in his evil intentions, extols greed and rejects God (10:3). The wicked one arrogantly ignores God (10:4).

His sinful behavior does not concern him since he believes he will always be successful no matter what he does (10:6).
He curses, lies and bullies; he causes trouble and spreads evil (10:7). He hides in the shadows where he can kill the innocent undetected; he secretly plots against the defenseless (10:8). Like a lion in his den, he waits to pounce on his poor unsuspecting victim and subdue him (10:9). Feigning weakness, he defeats the defenseless with his strength (10:10). He says to himself that God pays him no attention; God will never see his evil deeds (10:11).
Rise, O Lord, and strike the wicked; do not forget those who suffer (10:12). The wicked despise God. He tells himself that God will not hold him accountable for his actions (10:13). But You have seen his evil deeds and those who have been wronged look to You for justice, for You are the helper of the defenseless (10:14). Strike down the evil and sinful man and destroy his wickedness (10:15). The Lord is King forever; no nation can stand against Him 10:16).
Lord, You have heard the desires of the afflicted; You will lift their spirits; You will hear their supplications (10:17). You will favorably judge the defenseless and the oppressed, but those who do evil will be condemned and will never harm anyone again (10:18).
Prayer for life: Dear Jesus, You hear the cries of the poor defenseless aborted children who plead for justice. You see the wicked's disregard for Your laws and how they murder the innocent. You will destroy them and banish them from Your kingdom. But I, Lord, reject evil and count myself among those who love You and seek to do the Father's will. Help me, Lord, to welcome my child into the world with open arms as You will one day hopefully welcome me into Your kingdom. Amen.
Psalm 10
A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.
1Why do You stand afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
2In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD.
4The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, "There is no God."
5His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
6He says to himself, "I will not be moved;
Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity."
7His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he kills the innocent;
His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
9He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair;
He lurks to catch the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
10He crouches, he bows down,
And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
11He says to himself, "God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it."
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted.
13Why has the wicked spurned God?
He has said to himself, "You will not require it."
14You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
The unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the helper of the orphan.
15Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16The LORD is King forever and ever;
Nations have perished from His land.
17O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear
18To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror. [25]
