PRAYER FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS


Leader: Let us pray that the forthcoming national and local elections may truly reflect
the will of the Lord who guides the destinies of nations.

For every petition, let us pray together:

Response: Deliver us, Lord.
From coercion, intimidation, violence and terrorism ...

From dishonesty, lies and all distortion of truth...
From bribery, graft and all conspiracy for fraud...

From gullibility to the deceptive and blindness of perspective...
From threats, intimidation and perverse language...

Leader: Let us pray together:

Response: Hear us, Lord

That conscience may always be our ultimate norm ...
That the common good may always be our highest goal ...

That human dignity may be respected all the time ...
That the poor and the weak may always have the priority ...
That care for creation may never be ignored ...

That solidarity may guide the path of peace and development ...
That genuine fear of God and love of neighbors may guide those who seek
public office ...

Leader: Let us pray.

Altogether: Shepherd of souls and Savior of the nations, politics is your gift to us, a call
to serve others and grow in holiness. Guide our politics as you guide our lives. May our
political engagement for voters and candidates bring glory to your loving name and help
us grow in holiness, forever and ever. Amen.
