Exodus 18:21;"But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain —and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.”
Prayer to Consecrate the 2024 US Election to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary Immaculate, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the eternal
Wisdom lies hidden to be adored and served by angels and men, Queen of
heaven and of earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things that are
lower than God, Patroness of the United States of America, sorrowful and
mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of our nation, we come to Thee,
our refuge and hope.
Knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works and mindful of
how much our nation has departed from the ways of Thy Son, we humbly
ask that Thou wouldst turn Thine eyes upon our country to bring about its
conversion. We consecrate to Thee the integrity of the upcoming election
and its outcome, so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens
of our country may be accomplished, and that all of those who are elected
would govern according to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring
our nation into conformity with the teachings of Thy Son.
Give grace to the citizens of this land so that they will choose leaders
according to the Sacred Heart of Thy Son, that His glory may be made
manifest, lest we be given the leaders we deserve. Trusting in the
providential care of God the Father and Thy maternal care, we have perfect
confidence that Thou wilst take care of us and will not leave us forsaken. O
Mary Immaculate, pray for us. Amen.
