NOVENA PRAYER FOR ELECTION 2022
Day 1
San Lorenzo Ruiz, patron saint of Filipino youth, the Philippines, people working overseas, and altar servers: join us in praying for this election and for this intention: that we may seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our country...
Heavenly Father, nothing can overcome your greatness. But we are weak and need a deeper gift of hope as we come to our election time and the future of our country. Help us remember that political power can never replace the mission of the Church to preach the Gospel to all nations.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us to help us form our consciences according to the Gospel so that we may both vote and act for the Kingdom of God.
We pray for a government that upholds and protects human rights and justice for all Filipinos.
We pray for honest and peaceful elections.
We pray for the poor, weak, and marginalized, the OFWs, immigrants and refugees, all those affected by war, those who are ill, those struggling financially, and all who suffer from the failings of the political systems of this world.
For these elections in our nation, O God, please bless us with the best possible outcome in this fallen world at all levels of government.
Finally, just as you brought our salvation from the horrible death of your Son, we pray that from the political work in our country, you will bring about great good for your people.
We make this prayer, with the help of the Holy Spirit, through your Son, Christ our Lord. Amen. ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
San Lorenzo Ruiz, patron saint of Filipino youth, the Philippines, people working overseas, and altar servers,
PRAY FOR US!
