Heavenly Father,

We pray for the souls of the faithful departed and your merciful understanding in our efforts toward becoming saints. We ask that people study before electing their representatives. We honor all our veterans who served our country in its defense for freedom. On the World Day of the Poor may we be reminded of those less fortunate. We are grateful to you for the benefits that we have and for our country which continues to be blessed. We implore you for an end to war and assistance for those affected by war. We plead for an end to abortion and your insight on those working to eradicate disease. As we begin Advent, may we reverently prepare for the coming of your son, Jesus. We ask these in commemoration of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe,

Amen
