No harm in praying

Almighty and ever living God, you bless your people with eternal graces that flow beyond the things that this world can offer. We thank you dear Father for gathering us as one family here today under the shadow of your love. May we always seek to justify our actions in accordance to Your Divine plan. May we never seek ways that would hurt you in any way. Remove all our pride so that we may be able to do things not just for ourselves but for the people around us as well.

Lord, bless our families. Bless our friends. But above all, bless our beloved country especially now that it is passing through much political turmoil. Please teach each and every one of us that amidst this world filled with hatred, we can be the seed of love; that amidst much injuries, we can deliver pardon; that amidst doubt, we can spread faith; that amidst despair, we can bring hope; that even in darkness, we can be the shining light; and in times of sadness, we can be the bringer of joy. Lord, we seek for unity and peace. Deliver us away from greed and selfishness which are the evils of this world.

As we remain here today, we ask you to look upon all of us. We are your lowly children. Embrace all of us with your guidance and give us the wisdom to know the difference and help us to play the better part. We ask all of these in the name of Jesus Christ your son who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. AMEN.
