Prayer on Election Day



From the Liturgy of the Hours, Morning Prayer

Antiphon: Lord, let the light of your face shine upon us

Psalm 67
People of all nations will worship the Lord

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shed its light upon us.
So will your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn your saving help.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and exult
for your rule the world with justice.
With fairness you rule the peoples,
you guide the nations on earth.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has yielded its fruit
for God, our God, has blessed us.
May God still give us his blessing
till the ends of the earth revere him.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in
the beginning, is now and ever shall be
forever and ever. Amen.


Psalm-Prayer

Be gracious and bless us, Lord, and let your face shed its light on us, so that we can make you known with reverence and bring forth a harvest of justice.


Antiphon: Lord, let the light of your face shine upon us.

Today, throughout the day, in many churches of the USA there is Eucharistic Adoration. At St. Anne of the Sunset Church at 850 Judah St. in San Francisco this Adoration is taking place in conjunction with a Parish Mission conducted by two members of the Fathers of Mercy, Fr. Christopher Crotty and Fr. Louis Guardiola. This Mission will continue each night at 7PM through Thursday November 6. Come Holy Spirit by the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Make Jesus known!
