Bishops’ Fortnight Prayer
Pray each day June 21 through July 4
Almighty God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal.
5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious
liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice,
and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect
and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have the courage to defend them,
for ourselves and for all those who live in this
blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession
of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God for ever and
ever.
Amen.
