Though she is known as the “Queen of the Americas”, she has extended her influence to every continent through her servants in the pro-life cause, bearing the message of love and life to all nations that have succumbed to the demonic influence of human sacrifice. Only through the Heart of a Mother, so benevolent and powerful, can we hope to achieve our ends.             - Fr. Paul Marx

Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all mothers and all unborn children that they may have life here on earth and, by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son, that they may have eternal life with Him in heaven. We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all abortionists and all abortion supporters that they may be converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Saviour.   Defend all of your children in the battle against Satan and all evil spirits in this present darkness. AMEN.

While the world is increasingly caught up in the quest for pleasure and hedonism, we have become inured to the reality of an evil unprecedented in the history of humanity – legalized abortion.

Abortion is the murder of the innocent, a sin crying out to Heaven for vengeance.   We are defying the laws of our Creator!   The extent of this veritable holocaust to the powers of evil is difficult to comprehend: over 50 million helpless victims world-wide every year.

South Africa is now on this same course. Let us storm Heaven for mercy from God so that more enlightened knowledge prevails with the most powerful means we have at our disposal, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!

Under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe you are asked to have a Mass offered annually on the date of your birth, which will ensure that frequent Masses will be said for all babies threatened by abortion in this country.

If you would like to participate in this crusade, please give your name, address, telephone No, as well as your day and month of birth. We will send you a timely reminder to arrange with a priest to have your Mass offered.

The stipend payable should be arranged with your priest.  You can, if you wish, state as the intention of the Mass ‘for all babies threatened by abortion and their mothers’, or, ‘for the right of children to be born’ or ‘for the conversion of mothers considering abortion, abortion providers and the Government’ or similar.

Just as Holy Mary of Guadalupe extinguished human sacrifice in the Aztec world of the sixteenth century, standing for life and offering the abundant new life won by the self-sacrifice of her Son, so too can she be importuned to end the sacrifice of millions of babies in our own world to-day.   It is altogether appropriate that she become the focus of our prayers on behalf of these innocents.
