PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Almighty God, you have never abandoned your people. Look upon us with mercy and love. In the face of disunity, make us one. In the face of violence, make us choose peace. In the face of lies, make us seek the truth. In the face of selfish personal interests, help us work for the common good. In the face of anarchy, may we uphold the law.
In the outburst of feelings and emotion, may reason always prevail. Lord, show us the way to genuine conversion that begins in our hearts, in the hearts of our leaders, and in the hearts of all Filipinos. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace and the Good Shepherd, by the power of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
Thank You !
