# Prayer to Our Lady of All Nations
*2015-04-24*

> Bill Young leads a prayer to Our Lady of All Nations, asking for the Holy Spirit’s protection of all peoples and for wisdom in the midst of political turmoil.

## Opening Thoughts

Good afternoon. This is Bill Young, welcome to the Prayer and Lunch podcast. Before we pray, I’m troubled by recent political rhetoric suggesting that we should abandon the sanctity of life. I pray that those voices will be guided back to the truth of the Ten Commandments and the dignity of every human life.

## Prayer to Our Lady of All Nations

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send your Spirit over the earth. May the Holy Spirit dwell in the hearts of all nations, preserving them from degeneration, disaster, and war. May Our Lady of All Nations—Mary, Mother of Jesus—be our advocate and intercessor. Amen.

## Closing Blessing

May God bless you all. Have a great day.

*We entrust the world to Mary’s maternal care, asking the Holy Spirit to guide every nation toward peace and respect for life.*
