INTENTION
Pray for Protection Of our Community and Nation and our leaders.
MEDITATION
Jeremiah 29:7 - "Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
Heavenly Father, as we consider our responsibility to seek the well-being of our communities and the world, we are reminded of Your call to pray for the peace and prosperity of the places You have placed us. May our hearts be attuned to the needs of others, and as we intercede for the welfare of our communities, may Your protective hand extend over nations.
(Psalms 11:4-6) The LORD is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing. He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart. He sends down flaming coals and burning sulphur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.
(Psalms 27:1) The LORD is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The LORD protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.
(Isaiah 32:18) God's people will be free from worries, and their homes peaceful and safe.
(Psalms 122:7) May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces.”
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!” (Psalm 33:12)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin. Amen.
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven, allowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day oudaily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
