Prayer to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha St. Kateri Tekakwitha, favored child and Lily of the Mohawks, I come to seek your
intercession in my present need: (mention it). I admire the virtues which adorned your
soul: love of God and neighbor, humility, obedience, patience, purity and the spirit of
sacrifice. Help me to imitate your example in my state of life. Through the goodness
and mercy of God, Who has blessed you with so many graces which led you to the true
faith and to a high degree of holiness, pray to God for me and help me.
Obtain for me a very fervent devotion to the Holy Eucharist so that I may love Holy
Mass as you did and receive Holy Communion as often as I can. Teach me also to be
devoted to my crucified Savior as you were, that I may cheerfully bear my daily crosses
for love of Him Who suffered so much for love of me. Most of all, I beg you to pray
for me that I may avoid sin, lead a holy life and save my soul. Amen.

A PRAYER AT ELECTION TIME O Lord, Our Just and Loving Father, we thank you for the precious gift of Human Life that is greatly threatened by the Culture of Death. Aware of the dangers we are facing, we ask You to guide us in electing the leaders our nation truly needs: Leaders with the wisdom to discern your providential
plan, Leaders who understand the weakness of the human con-
dition, Leaders who counsel our citizens to respect the rule of
law, Leaders with the fortitude to face their opponents with
grace, Leaders with knowledge of Constitution and of natural
rights, Leaders whose piety makes them aware of their own limi-
tation, And leaders whose reverential fear informs their moral
judgment. We pray that the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, promised by our founders, may be pre-served , protected, and defended for all, especially the most vulnerable members of our society. Sustain us in struggle to live in peace. Amen.
