An Election Prayer to Mary |
|
O most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at
this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to
your loving care. Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land
for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins
of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek
refuge in your motherly protection. Look down with mercy upon us and
touch the hearts of our people. Open our minds to the great
worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human
freedom. Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of
abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God's law is
the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone
is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to
reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new
Culture of Life.
Trusting in your most powerful intercession, we pray, Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen Msgr.
