My Journey to God

Two Prayers

O God, in Your mercy, please grant unity
among the peoples of our nation.
In Your charity please end the discord
that prevails in our nation.
In your compassion remove the prevalent hate
that has been exhibited.
Let us all remember
the death Your Son endured for our salvation.
Let us also remember
to practice justice and charity toward our neighbor. In Your holy name we pray.

Dear Jesus, each day help me to choose
good over evil,
justice over injustice,
caring over apathy,
and love over hatred
that I may remain on the Path to Life.
In Your Holy Name, I pray.
