Consecration of America
Immaculate Mary, most Holy Mother of God
and of Our Lord and SavioUr Jesus Christ,
we the people of the United States of America
at this historic moment stand before you
in a humbled condition of love,
loyalty, affection, and thankfulness.
To your Immaculate Heart we recommit and dedicate ourselves
throughout the entire American nation.
To your Son Jesus Christ we pledge to serve His teaching,
His church, and to work for His kingdom on earth.
O Mary, to you do we flee for protection.
Surround the American family
with your maternal care;
enfold us in your arms.
Give to this American land,
built on the blood and tears of so many faithful forebears,
a peaceful and praiseworthy existence in truth,
love, justice, and freedom.
O Mary, we submit to you as
the Patroness of our beloved country.
O Mary, Help of Christians,
enfold the Holy Father and the Catholic Church
within your protective cloak;
be our shield in the days ahead.
Give to the Church true holiness and freedom.
Obtain for our leaders holy zeal,
the ability to face the truth,
and the courage to correct all abuses.
Stop the flood of atheism, greed, heresy,
impurity, lukewarmness, materialism,
and selfishness that threaten our nation.
Show to those who have strayed from the Church
the way to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mother of God,
accept our personal consecration to you and, through you,
bind us forever to the Holy Trinity.
Gather us all into your Immaculate Heart
and unite us forever with Jesus.
O Mary, we love you. Amen.
Prayer for Our Country
We pray Thee, O God of might, wisdom and justice, through Whom authority
is rightly administered, laws are enacted and judgments decreed,
assist, with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude, the President
of these United States; that his administration may be conducted
in righteousness and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom
he presides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion;
by a faithful execution of the laws of justice and mercy; and
by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy divine
wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress and shine forth in
all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government;
so that they may tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion
of national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety and
useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessings of liberty.
We pray for His Excellency the Governor of this state, for the
members of the Assembly, for all Judges, Magistrates, and other
officers who are appointed to guard our political welfare; that
they may be enabled, by Thy powerful protection, to discharge
the duties of their respective stations with honesty and ability.
We recommend likewise to Thy unbounded mercy all our brethren
and fellow citizens, throughout the United States, that they may
be blessed in the knowledge, and sanctified in the observance
of Thy most holy law; that they may be preserved in union, and
in that peace which the world cannot give; and, after enjoying
the blessings of this life, be admitted to those which are eternal.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
- Abridged from a prayer by Archbishop Carroll, c.1800.
Prayer for an End to War
Lord Jesus, Mighty Warrior and Prince of Peace, through the intercession
of St. Michael and Our Lady of Victory, we pray for the protection
of our loved ones called to serve in time of war. By Your grace,
o Lord, may they be strong and of good courage. And by your grace
also, may we at home renounce all fear and anxiety, place our
trust fully in your most Merciful Heart, and await in hope. For
though we may walk through the shadow of the Valley of death,
we shall fear no evil- You are with us. Grant a decisive and just
end to this war, lasting peace for all nations, and the safe return
home of all our loved ones. In the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. AMEN.
Prayer for Troops
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts
they perform for us in our time of need.
I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
A Prayer for Peace
From this city, from Kazakhastan, a country that is an example of harmony
between men and women of different origins and beliefs, I wish
to make an earnest call to everyone, Christians and the followers
of other religions, that we work together to build a world without
violence, a world that loves life, and grows in justice and solidarity.
We must not let what has happened lead to a deepening of divisions.
Religion must never be used as a reason for conflict.
From this place, I invite.... God whose children we all are, that the
supreme good of peace may reign in the world. May people everywhere,
strengthened by divine wisdom, work for a civilization of love,
in which there is no room for hatred, discrimination, or violence.
With all my heart, I beg God to keep the world in peace. Amen.
- Pope John Paul the Great, Astana, Kazakstan; Sunday, September

This is a HUGE undertaking as we are "re-working" this website.

This is a work of love
