A PRAYER FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
HAPPY PHILIPPINE
INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Edited June 11, 2024
To all my countrymen, as we celebrate another anniversary of our independence as a sovereign nation, let us pray for our country.
Almighty Ever-living God, thank you for all the gifts we have received, for all the trials we have undergone from which many good things unknown to us have surely arisen;
Continue to pour your abundant blessings to our nation, to all the leaders of our country and to all Filipinos so that we may all continue to be faithful to Your Will, with a spirit of trust and abandonment, knowing that You will never forsake us.
Restore and give lasting peace to our country, grant us a peaceful coexistence among ourselves and with our neighboring countries, and keep us safe from all danger, harm, and foreign bullying.
Free us from the clutches of corrupt government officials who have enriched themselves instead of serving their countrymen.
Protect us from the perils of foreign invasion which has already started with occupation of some islands which legally belong to us according to international laws, the influx of migrants, and the exploitation of our natural resources by foreign entities.
Alleviate the sufferings of all our sick, poor and indigent countrymen through the wise and just decisions and laws of our leaders, and the kindness and generosity of our fellow Filipinos.
Protect and reward all those who are selflessly helping the sick and the needy.
Eradicate all the social evils in our society through the personal conversion and struggle of all of us to live the moral values in our daily life.
Protect all our fellowmen from harm, especially those who have gone to other countries in search for a better life for their families in the Philippines.
Almighty and ever-living God, may we be faithful to You and to our Catholic faith. You are our hope and consolation. We want to console you as well and adore you with all our life, so that wherever a Filipino may be, You would be worshipped and glorified. May we be generous instruments of Your love, mercy, unity and peace.
Immaculate Mary, Queen of the Philippines and all the Filipinos, intercede for us. Never cease to pray for and protect the Philippines from all evil and harm.
Trusting in your mercy to hear our pleas, we ask these all in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen!
