PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY:
From her network of Schoenstatt shrines,
our MTA intercedes peace for each person in our Church, country, and world:
As I have taken my abode in this shrine,
I would like to draw to my heart for all time all who have consecrated themselves to me.
I desire to bestow on you the full measure of my special graces.
Your hearts shall find a home in my shrine.
I shall take care that your souls are washed clean from all stain in the Blood of the Lamb.
I will help you overcome all inordinate passions and desires,
over hostile feelings toward those around you and over national hatred.
I will help you overcome all inordinate passions and desires,
over hostile feelings toward those around you and over national hatred.
Wherever you are, wherever you may be,
let us build up a kingdom of justice and love –
in our families, in our shops, in our parishes, in our states, in national politics.
Thus you will help me to stem the tide of evil and restore order to a decaying world.
(cf. J. Kentenich 1954 Dec. 8)
You know the way for us, you know the time,
Into your hands I trustingly place mine.
Your plan is born of perfect love.
You know the way for us and our country,
That is enough.
Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt: Pray for us.
Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt: Protect our country.
Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Schoenstatt: Protect and bless the whole world.
