Daily Prayer for America 250
By Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth, I place today my nation, the United States of America, into Your Heart pierced for love of us. On the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift, and that our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God. Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, and through the intercession of her Immaculate Heart, bless my homeland anew, purify her from sin, and guide her leaders in truth, justice, and peace, so that she may safeguard all human life, respect the integrity of marriage and the family, and honor the practice of religion. Reign in my home and in my nation. Draw every heart into communion with You, that Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may triumph in America and throughout the world.
Amen.

Kristiannoem is no longer the head of DHS. I don't know if you want to call it fired. I don't know if you want to call it promoted to the Shield of the Americas. She was shifted. |
