Lord Jesus Christ,
You promised t be always with us, your Filipino people.
At this difficult cross-roads of our national elections,
we beg you to be with us with the light of the Holy Spirit,
so that the electorate, well informed about the candidates
and inspired by the love of country and genuine concern for
its future,
may cast their votes responsibly according to their consciences.
Give us the courage that comes from the power of the Holy Spirit,
that against all forms of violence, coercion, coup attempt,
and anarchy
we may uphold the constitutional process and the rule of law.
Make all citizens vigilant with the watchfulness of the Holy
Spirit, that the campaign period, electoral exercise, and counting
of ballots
maybe marked by honesty, order, transparency, and true freedom.
Lord, protect with the tender yet mighty care of the Holy Spirit
all the candidates with their families, political allies, and
followers.
shield from all harm the concerned citizens who are involved
in political education, scrutiny of candidates, and poll watching.
Infuse into our minds and hearts the wisdom of the Holy Spirit,
that we may regard the national elections as a timely opportunity
to transform the society by electing wise, capable, and upright
leaders
who will lead our beloved country, the pearl of the orient seas,
to moral renewal and to lasting stability, prosperity and peace.
Lord Jesus Christ, hear the urgent prayer of you Filipino people,
for you live and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy
Spirit
God forever and ever. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
That in all things God may be glorified.
