Novena for the Election - Day 1
St. Jude, Patron of impossible causes, join us in praying for this election and these intentions: [State your intentions here.]
In many ways we feel hopeless about this election.
Please instill in the hearts of the American people that our only true hope is in Jesus! Help us remember that political power can never replace the mission of the Church to preach the Gospel to all nations.
Lord, help us to form our consciences according to the Gospel so that we may both vote and act for the Kingdom of God.
We pray, O Lord, that in our voting and in our lives we will strive to love and support the weakest members of society and those who suffer greatly. We pray for the poor, the weak, the unborn, the refugee, the migrant, all those affected by war, those struggling financially and all those suffering from the failings of the political systems of this world.
Give us the courage to re-examine our political loyalties and to be first a faithful follower of Jesus before we follow any political ideology.
For our own votes, help us to cast them in a way that is pleasing to You. Help us to do it with a well formed conscience knowing that our responsibility to our brothers and sisters goes far beyond the voting booth.
For these elections, O God, please bless us with the best rulers possible in this fallen world at all levels of government.
Finally, just as You brought our salvation from the horrible death of Your Son, we pray that from the political campaigns of this world, You will bring about great good for Your people.
