Prayer for the Intercession of Venerable Mother Angeline McCrory
Against the Legalisation of Assisted Suicide in Scotland
You filled the heart of Your servant, Venerable Mother Angeline,
with deep compassion for the elderly, the frail, and the forgotten.
She saw Christ in those the world often overlooks,
caring for each soul with dignity, reverence, and tender love.
Through her intercession, we beg You,
do not let the shadow of assisted suicide fall upon Scotland.
Preserve our land from laws that would declare
the vulnerable to be burdens,
the suffering to be disposable,
and the end of life something to be hastened rather than held sacred.
Raise up voices of truth and courage in our Parliament and across our nation.
Inspire leaders to protect life at every stage
and to offer care, not killing—compassion, not despair.
Venerable Mother Angeline,
you who served the dying with hope and honour,
pray for us now.
Pray that we may follow your example in upholding the dignity of every human life,
until we all see the face of God in eternity.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
