Prayer for Our Day

Lord of Power and Might,

Harness the Four Winds

To serve Your Plan,

And bless Your inheritance.

Prostrate before You,

The Church raises a mighty cry,

To pierce the heavens,

And touch Your Merciful Heart.

Though our sins poison the many waters,

And our idolatry empower the Enemy,

May the sack clothe and ashes of our repentance,

Be sweet incense.

May our prayer and penance,

Be a shield emblazoned

With Your Name,

O Mercy Divine,

And hallowed “Aves”,

In Eucharistic procession

Reign down upon the Fiend,

The punishment our crimes deserve,

Chain Hell’s fury,

As in humility and meekness,

We render You Praise.

Salvation is Your Name,

O, Jesus.

Glad hosannas encircle Your Throne,

And the Glory of God

Shows forth in Love.

Holy, Holy, Holy,

The Seraphim cry in adoration,

As Powers, Thrones and Dominions,

Principalities and Virtues,

Pour down the Blood of Christ,

On Adam’s sin and seed,

To banish the Long Night.

Our God reigns,

His Cross lights up the sky.

Witnesses of Past and Present shout for joy.

Cherubim return to Your Jerusalem of Gold,

Spreading their wings above your Mercy Seat .

Your Temple is Presence,

Welcoming “Men of Good Will”,

As Angels and Archangels

Secure the Children of God.

Amen.
