VOTERS’ PRAYER

God of our lives and of history,
we humbly beseech You to once again enlighten us voters
in this national and local elections,
to see through the political shroud of personality,
patronage and pay-offs.

Guide us in our responsible and critical choice of candidates
as we transcend the traditional politics of money, violence
and bribery.

Inspire and allow us to elect worthy men and women
who embody the spirit of true public service
in their moral consciousness.

Bless and inspire the candidates to enable them to ascertain
the value of government service as an instrument of social
transformation, development and maturity.
Instill in them the ideals of democracy whose cornerstone
is a government made for the people; of the people and
by the people.

Our dear mother Mary, embrace us with your maternal
Protection and care.
We pray that you would present to your dearly beloved
Son, Jesus, our supplication for honest, orderly, peaceful
and meaningful elections.
And may the Spirit of truth always reign in the hearts of
the Filipino electorate.

This we ask and implore through our Lord Jesus Christ,
in union with God the Father and the Holy Spirit,
One God for ever and ever. Amen.
