A Prayer for America

After delivering my prayer titled An American Police Officer’s Prayer on Nov. 19, 2021 as the invocation for a Bergen County Police Chiefs Association event, I shared it with my friend Jim Cavanaugh.

Jim is the President and CEO of Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance (MQANMA), a non-profit that has been helping the poor throughout the world for over thirty years.

Since MQANMA is hosting their annual Charity Dinner Dance to honor law enforcement, our armed forces, first responders and medical professionals on Nov. 21, 2021, Jim gave me a call.  He asked if MQANMA could use the prayer as the events benediction.

Humbled by his request, and always inspired by his leadership for the poor, I customized the prayer for the 175 attendees who will attend the event at the Madison Hotel in Morristown on Sunday night.  

Copies of the prayer were also printed for all attendees, and the revised version is as follows:

A Prayer for America

Almighty God, enkindle us to be radiant light so darkness can be vanquished and our communities reawakened.

Let us live by the splendor of truth and high ethical standards, so deception can be eradicated from our nation.

Give us an unwavering confidence in our task, and keep the torch of character burning in our hearts.

Forge partnerships between all members of every community.  Let apathy be conquered, and inspire us to exemplify respect, courtesy, and charity.

Allow the providential wisdom of our American heritage to guide us.  Empower us with unfailing strength to bear all trials.

Enlighten us so this unique time of challenge may impel us to transform the nation.

Protect each person privileged to call America home with the ironclad shield of virtue, and the shelter of justice.  

Ignite wisdom, understanding, and compassion within our souls.

Animate our hearts, so we may work with one another and live in a nation of tranquility, solidarity, and liberty.  Amen.                                                              Vincent J. Bove
