Prayer For Protection Of Religious Liberty

God our Father, giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for your glory and dwell among your people.
Send your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation's leaders. Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing your will.
Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, patroness of our land, grant us the courage to reject the culture of death. Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.


Father God, we come to You humbly, knowing that You are sovereign over all things. We praise You for the work You have done, the work You are doing, and the work You will do in the future.

Today we pray for all of those involved in this week's Supreme Court decision. We thank you that the leaders You have in place have held to the teachings of Your Word. We pray that this decision will set a precedent moving forward that will point the people of our country closer to You.

Jesus, strengthen our brothers and sisters in Nigeria undergoing persecution. Holy Spirit, be with those who have lost loved ones. May their eyes and hearts be turned to You.

Father, we ask that You grip the hearts of the Nigerian leadership and cause them to take swift and decisive action to protect Your people.

God, we pray that You would continue to preserve and extend our religious freedom in this nation. Let our legislators and judges acknowledge You when making laws and declare righteous judgment, so Your Name would be lifted in this nation.

In Your Holy Name we pray, Amen!


Heavenly Father, we adore You and thank You! You have inspired and enabled us as religious believers to make our contribution to the good of society, and thus, have blessed this Nation through believers in a multitude of ways. Defend us from those who would restrict the good works that have always been freely done for the good of all. Let education, feeding the hungry, health care and social services continue unrestricted, O Lord, by preserving Religious Liberty in our Land. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Lord Jesus Christ, we praise You Who are the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Through the intercession of St. Thomas, the Apostle, we pray that You would give us good leaders. Give us, O Lord, men and women after Your own heart. Reverse the tide of immorality in our land and raise up Godly men and women to govern us. Through our leaders protect life from its conception, safeguard marriage and family life, and grant us religious liberty and freedom of conscience. Amen.


O Holy Spirit, Lord of Light, we invite You, come! Lead our Nation into all truth, reminding us of all that Jesus said and did. Inspire the citizens of this great Land to elect leaders who will govern us in holiness and truth. On this Independence Day, as we recall and thank You for our freedom, we implore You to preserve our religious liberty by instilling into the hearts of all a fiery love of God. Come, Holy Spirit! Renew us in Your Love! Amen.


Almighty God we humbly bow before You, Who are all powerful. We turn to You in this hour of great need, full of faith and with great confidence in You Who can do all things. Through the intercession of St. Aloysius of Gonzaga, who lived the virtue of purity in a remarkable way, we ask you to overturn the HHS Mandate which is now law and which forces all Catholic Institutions to pay for contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs. Deliver us, O Lord, from all evil. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Lord Jesus Christ, we praise You Who reign over all, for all authority on earth is subject to You! Through the intercession of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher, martyrs who did not compromise on their Catholic faith, grant the grace of conversion to those who profess the Catholic faith and yet promote that which is contrary to It through their support of legislation for abortion, same-sex marriage and the loss of Religious Liberty. Help our legislators, O Lord, to grow in humility. Lord Jesus, come reign over us! Amen.


O God our Creator,
from your provident hand we have received
our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us
the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God,
and your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
to every corner of society.

We ask you to bless us
in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind and heart
to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard
on behalf of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.

Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your Church
in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so that, with every trial withstood
and every danger overcome
for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
and all who come after us
this great land will always be one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
