O Lord Jesus Christ, who in Thy mercy hears the prayers of sinners, pour forth, we beseech Thee, all grace and blessing upon our country and its citizens.

We pray for all who are in peril or in danger. Bring us all, after the troubles of this life, into the haven of peace, and reunite us all together forever, 0 dear Lord, in Thy glorious heavenly kingdom. Amen.

Prayer of St. Ignatius: Take, 0 Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my whole will.

Give me only Thy love and Thy grace; with Thee I am rich enough, nor do I ask for aught besides. Amen.
