Almighty and Eternal Father,
God of wisdom and mercy,
Whose power exceeds all force of arms,
and Whose protection is the strong defense of all who trust in Thee,
enlighten and direct, we beseech Thee,
those who bear the heavy responsibility of government throughout the world,
in the days of stress and trial.
Grant them the strength to stand firm for what is right,
and the skill to dispel the fears that foment discord ;
inspire them to be mindful of the horrors of atomic war
for victor and vanquished alike,
to seek conciliation in truth and patience,
to see in every man a brother
that people of all nations may,
in our day,
enjoy the blessings of a just and lasting peace.
Conscious of our own unworthiness,
we implore Thy mercy on a sinful world,
in the name of Thy Divine Son,
THE PRINCE OF PEACE,
and through the intercession of His Blessed Mother
and all the saints!
Queen of All Saints, pray for us.
Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.
Queen of Peace, pray for us.
