A Prayer for America’s 250th Anniversary

Dear Parishioners,

God of all nations, Creator of every people, we come to you with grateful hearts. We thank you for this land we call home— for its beauty, its bounty, and the ideals upon which it was founded. Through centuries of struggle and prosperity, we have grown into a great nation, but we acknowledge that true liberty and lasting peace come only from You. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our independence, we stand before You with both thanksgiving and humility. We ask for Your abundant blessings upon our country. Guide our leaders with wisdom and integrity, protect the vulnerable, and help us to live as faithful citizens rooted in charity, truth, and justice. Where there is division, help us find connection. Where there is strife, help us find common ground. Heal the wounds of our land, and make us a people who seek unity, respect the dignity of all human life, and work for the common good. Under the maternal protection of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, we place our future into Your hands. May we always use our freedom to build a society of peace, mercy, and love.

Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
