Celebrate Independence with a Prayer for our Nation

We wish you a safe and joyous Independence Day weekend! As we celebrate Independence Day, we invite you to pray for our nation:

God our Father,
Giver of life,
we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care.

You are the rock on which this nation was founded.
You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.


Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.

Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation´s leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.
Thank you for the freedom to act as Faithful Citizens and to advocate for the least among us.
We pray for our brothers and sisters who do not share in our freedoms.

Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,
Patroness of our land,
grant us the courage to reject the "culture of death", moral relativism, and all the snares of the devil.
Lead us into a new millennium of life in your divine light.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.


Amen.
