The Charity of Christ Compels Us... 2 Corinthians 5:14
O Lord our Governor, whose glory fills all the world, we commend this great nation to your merciful care, that we may be guided by your providence, and dwell secure in your peace. Grant to the President of the United States, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Governor of New York State, the State Assembly, local officials, and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do your will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them continually mindful of their calling to serve this people in reverent obedience to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
