Election Prayer by Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

Lord Jesus Christ, You told us to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.

Enlighten the minds of our people [in] America.

May we choose a President of the United States, and other government officials, according to Your Divine Will.

Give our citizens the courage to choose leaders of our nation who respect the sanctity of unborn human life, the sanctity of marriage, the sanctity of marital relations, the sanctity of the family, and the sanctity of the aging.

Grant us the wisdom to give You, what belongs to You, our God.

If we do this, as a nation, we are confident You will give us an abundance of Your blessings through our elected leaders. Amen.

  1. I had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Hardon many, many years ago, when I was in my teens.

    He was a good, faitful priest.

    There are many like him but sadly, there are many who are not.
