Freedom
is not the right
to do what we want,
but what we ought.
—Abraham Lincoln
Almighty God,
Father of all nations,
for freedom
you have set us free in Christ Jesus.
We praise you
and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the
foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our
leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
by your grace
may we have the courage to defend them,
for ourselves
and for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this
through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the
name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the unity
of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you
live and reign, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
