Prayer Request
It is becoming more and more evident that the political process is no longer a contest between two parties with a similar vision of a constitutional republic with liberty and justice for all, differing only on matters of tactics and priorities.
In this generation, it has become a contest between heaven and hell, and the evil is satanic indeed, ranging from infanticide before birth to euthanasia before death, with lies, more lies and ever more damnable lies, violence, hatred, pederasty, sodomy, self-castration, vulgarity, ugliness, filth, corruption, riot, despair, and anarchy throughout.
As with most such contests here on Earth, the side of heaven is staffed with sinners, the poor, the weak, the broken, the despised, harlots and publicans, with an odd Pharisee thrown in for ironic contrast.
On the other side are Lords of Hell, roaring, large, coated with gold and glory, dignity and pomp, honored for their wisdom and compassion, adored as demigods, flattered, lauded, praised, larded with all the rewards this world can bestow.
Perhaps you are tired of hearing the next election is the most significant in the history of the Republic. I am sure a dying man suffering one more drastic surgery after a series to save his life would likewise much rather his next operation be routine. An election which was not a plebiscite on whether to end or continue our national existence would likewise be preferable.
Prayer is needed. More things are wrought by prayer than men know.
Prayer for The United States of America
Composed by His Excellency
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.
Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.
Protect those who, defending the inviolable principles of the Natural Law and Your Commandments, must face the repeated assaults of the Enemy of the human race.
Keep in the hearts of Your children courage for the truth, love for virtue and perseverance in the midst of trials.
Make our families grow in the example that Our Lord has given us, together with His Most Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in the home of Nazareth; give to our fathers and mothers the gift of Strength, to educate wisely the children with which you have blessed them.
Give courage to those who, in spiritual combat, fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ against the furious forces of the children of darkness.
Keep each one of us, O Lord, in your Most Sacred Heart, and above all He whom Your Providence has placed at the head of our Nation.
Bless the President of the United States of America, so that aware of his responsibility and his duties, he may be a knight of justice, a defender of the oppressed, a firm bulwark against Your enemies, and a proud supporter of the children of light.
Place the United States of America and the whole world under the mantle of the Queen of Victories, our Unconquered Leader in battle, the Immaculate Conception. It is thanks to her, and through your Mercy, that the hymn of praise rises to you, O Lord, from the children whom you have redeemed in the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
