A Prayer for Faithful Citizenship

Gracious and loving God, let your Spirit be with us today.
Hear our prayers, and increase in us the will to follow your Son Jesus.
Help us to draw on the resources of our faith as we use the
opportunities of our democracy to shape a society more respectful of the
life, dignity, and rights of the human person, especially the poor and vulnerable.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
