This last Friday I had to fill in for my pastor, Fr. Phillips, and give the final prayer and blessing at the Allied Women's Center Gala. It was a wonderful event and I was very honored to be able to be a part of it. The prayer below was what I offered. You are welcome to use it in your own prayers in the days leading up to the elections on November 6. Before I started the prayer at the event I asked our Blessed Mother to make this prayer her own and to place it at the feet of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that you do the same when saying this prayer.
Almighty God our Heavenly Father, you are the Author and Creator of all life and in your infinite Wisdom you created mankind in your own image. We pray for the President, for the members of Congress and for the leaders of all nations that you would open their minds and hearts to acknowledge and accept the Truth: that the life and soul of each person is created by you and is therefore sacred. We beseech you also Lord that if those who bear the authority of government are not willing to accept this Truth that you would remove them from their positions of power and replace them with those who are willing to do your will. And we especially pray for your faithful followers who have for years tirelessly worked to protect the lives of the unborn. May the work they are doing for you be blessed by your Almighty hand so that the schemes of the devil cannot overcome them. Lastly, we pray for the lives of the unborn and all the innocent babies that have been wrongfully taken out of your hand through the evil of abortion; may they and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
