Lord, it is written:

The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and it will not rest until it reaches its goal; it will not desist until the Most High responds and does justice for the righteous, and executes judgment. (Sirach 35)

Eternal Father, hear now the humble petition of Your children. The failings of our nation, its leaders, and its people are many. We ask Your pardon and mercy, and to look not on our iniquities but on the faith of Your servants. Your only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, suffered and died for us. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, O God, have mercy on us!

O God, King of the Universe, we know that we have no power of our own, and that America enjoys its many blessings only because it has pleased You to bestow them upon us. We have no help but Your Providence, and no hope but our trust in You.

O God, our Strong Deliverer, rescue America from those who seek to weaken and destroy it. Deliver our nation from those who do not honor Your name, who scorn Your Commandments, and who seek to turn hearts away from You. Make the light of Your face to shine upon us, and turn this election into an instrument through which Your greater glory is worked.

In this, as in all things, we entrust ourselves entirely to Your plan, we submit ourselves wholly to Your will, because we trust in You and know that You desire only what is good for us.

These things we humbly ask in the most exalted name of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
