Let us pray:—¨Almighty God, Lord of the Universe, we fall at your feet in thanksgiving, that through the ages you protected us with your powerful care. We thank you that you led our fathers and freed them from the hands of their persecutors, invaders, and enemies. We bless you, that after years of occupation, you once again bestowed on us freedom and peace.—¨At this time, when our nation needs so much strength to preserve our freedom, we implore you, Lord, fill us with the power of your Holy Spirit. Calm our hearts, encourage hope in your love, enlighten the darkened minds of all your brothers. Inspire in our nation the will to battle patiently for the preservation of peace and freedom. Grant that we may be enabled with our own hands and mutual solidarity in the service of your Cross – to preserve your Kingdom in our hearts, in our families, and in the entire nation – as in the days of our forefathers. Deliver us from hunger, misery, and war. Bestow upon us the bread we need. Bless our work. Merciful Lord, Just Lord, Almighty Lord.—¨May the Holy Spirit renew the face of our land and strengthen your people. Grant to us, O Lord, that we may not sadden your Spirit, and through our consecration to Mary, Mother of our Holy Church and Queen of Poland, always remain faithful to Christ and to our Homeland.
