Articles | October 28, 2024 | by Catholics for Catholics

A Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders In preparation for Election Day, Priests for Life calls upon believers to say this prayer each day Ministries, organizations and churches may also co-sponsor this effort. Let us know in the form below.

O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but also of nations.

We thank you that we can organize ourselves politically
And declare our political loyalties
In a way that preserves our absolute loyalty to you.

We thank you for your law,
Which our Founders recognized
As higher than any human law.

We thank you for the opportunity that elections provide us,
Not only to vote, but to mobilize many others to vote,
And to vote correctly.

Lord, we know that politics is not our salvation;
We also know that part of serving you is to be politically active,
And that your people are not a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.

Awaken Your people that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer
Are the hands that fill out the ballot;
That the same eyes that read your Word
Are the eyes that read the names of the candidates,
And that they do not cease to be Christians
When they carry out their duty to vote.

Protect the integrity of our elections,
And deliver us from deceit and fraud.

Awaken your people to the consequences of their vote,
A vote to advance freedom and to thwart tyranny,
To protect children from indoctrination in falsehood and sin,
To defend marriage and family,
To stop the killing of the unborn, the most vulnerable of all,
And to save our nation from destruction.

Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
