Daily Prayer for America 250

By Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth,

I place today my nation, the United States of America,

into Your Heart pierced for love of us.

On the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,

I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift,

and that our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God.

Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas,

and through the intercession of her Immaculate Heart,

bless my homeland anew,

purify her from sin,

and guide her leaders in truth, justice, and peace,

so that she may safeguard all human life,

respect the integrity of marriage and the family,

and honor the practice of religion.

Reign in my home and in my nation.

Draw every heart into communion with You,

that Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may triumph

in America and throughout the world.

Amen.

O God, my God: to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted: for thee my flesh, O how many ways. In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory. For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise. Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands. Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of the wings; my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
