Prayer for our nation



Prayer for our nation
God our Father
Giver of life
we entrust the United States of America to
Your loving care.

You are the rock on which this nation was founded.
You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness.

Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.

Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.

Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,
Patroness of our land
grant us the courage to reject
the ,,culture of death".
Lead us into a new life
we ask this through Christ our Lord.

AMEN.
