AN ELECTION YEAR PRAYER
Most Holy Trinity
You are Truth and You are Love;
Indivisible, universal and absolute.
May Your Name be held Holy
through our enlightened and active citizenship
in our nation, in our world and for the sake of Your Kingdom.
May Your Will be done
in our citizens and in our political candidates
as we prepare for the elections in November.
Give us this day the grace to know that
“Love without Truth is not Love, and,
Truth without Love is not Truth.”*
Guard us against temptations to
selfish interests, bitterness,
cynicism and apathy.
Help us work hard to ensure the common good
by upholding the inalienable rights
and the innate dignity of every human being,
especially of those who are most vulnerable.
Deliver us from the deceitful tactics of the evil one
as you empower us to fulfill our pledge to be
“one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.”
For Thine in the Kingdom and the Power and Glory
now and forever. Amen!
Pray: THE LORD’S PRAYER
