A Prayer for Our Country

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care.  

Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection.

Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people.  Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.

Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life.  Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God's law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.  

O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life.   Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,  our life, our sweetness and our hope. 

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve

to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. 

Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, 

and after this our exile, 

show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, 

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! 

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,

that we made be made worthy 

of the promises of Christ.

Amen!
