Prayer for Elected Officials

[Br. Xavier]

O God, from whom all power comes,
by whose Divine will all must abide,
we thank You for our civil liberties and freedom,
for our opportunities and our privileges.
We beg of You to bless, assist,
and enlighten the Senators and Representatives in Congress.
May they prove worthy of the confidence placed in them
by their fellow citizens.
May they be just and upright in their thinking,
honest in all their actions,
and ever be guided by a true conscience in the
legislation they propose or vote upon.
Forgive us all our mistakes and selfish tendencies,
and help prepare us by our good deeds
for an eternal union with You,
through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
