Today, and every day, let us pray for our leaders in Washington and for our nation.
Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that You will keep the United States in Your holy protection, and that You will incline Your heart to bless all of the citizens and all of our leaders, to cultivate a spirit of working together for the common good of all. Help us to love one another and all who live in and visit our country.
And finally we pray that You will give us all Your grace to do justice, to love mercy, and to behave and speak with charity towards all. Give our leaders humility and a desire to govern in ways that reflect the fact that they understand that You alone are the Divine Author of our blessed life and nation.
We need You now, dear Lord, more than ever.
In Your holy name we pray, Amen.
