A PRAYER TO OUR LADY AT ELECTION TIME

O most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy,

we entrust the United States of America to your loving care,

and 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 the 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.
