ELECTION PRAYER VIGIL TUESDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2024 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. St. Therese Shrine of the Little Flower Saint Therese will be hosting a Prayer Vigil on Tuesday, 5 November 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for private prayer and meditation before the Blessed Sacrament. As this current Presidential Election seems to be the most consequential in our Nation's history, this Election Day our Shrine will be open following the 8:00 a.m. Mass until 2 p.m. for people to come in and pray before the Blessed Sacrament. Pray for peace and civility in our country. Pray for our American Democracy and leaders. Have you noticed that our country is so divided that there are the fewest campaign posters in years as people don't want their vehicles or homes to be vandalized? In this election, let us pray for the best political leaders possible in this fallen world, but place our ultimate trust in God.
"Gracious and loving God, let your Spirit be with us today.
Hear our Prayers, and increase in us the will to follow your son Jesus. Help us to draw on the resources of our faith as we use the opportunities of our Democracy to shape a society more respectful of the life, dignity, and rights of the human person, especially the poor and vulnerable. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who Lives and Reigns with You in the Unity of the Holy Spirit, One God Forever and Ever. Amen."
