I think this just about covers praying for all people in the pro-life movement. A group of us began praying this today. And we will continue to pray it.

Almighty and everlasting God, You have created all things through Your Son, Jesus Christ. He trampled the power of death by His Paschal Mystery. May all who acknowledge You, promote the sacredness of life, and always serve You faithfully, through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
