ELECTION PRAYER Almighty and ever--living God, as a nation we place all our trust in You. Since election day approaches, we pray for all those who have placed their name before the people; to seal their commitment of public service for the common good. Purify the intentions of those who deserve the public trust. Empower each voter with Your Spirit; so that as the free people of Your creation they may recognize truth and personal integrity in those they choose. May the representative government they place in service mirror their own commitment to search out the ways of peace with others and establish an economic stability where justice will flourish for all. May a new era of patriotism dawn upon the United States; a patriotism strong enough to carry us through difficult times and flexible enough to embrace authentic creativity. Drawing upon the resources of university and business, may the legal and social development of Your people help all citizens realize their full potential in Your sight. For Your wisdom is revealed to us and in us both now and forever. Amen. Prayer composed by Rev. Daniel P. Coughlin

YEAR OF MERCY PRAYER

ORACION DEL AÑO DE JUBILEO DE LA MISERICORDIA

Lord Jesus Christ,

and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.

Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él.

Let the Church be your visible face in the world.

Haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti.

you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father

Send your spirit so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. Adapted from the prayer penned by Pope Francis.

Manda tu Espíritu para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres, proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por la intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Adaptada de la oración escrita por el Papa Francisco.

USCCB DOCUMENT TO: THE FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP Excerpt from the Summary of the USCCB (U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops) Document: FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP (a guide for Catholics on how to vote) What Public Policies Should Concern Catholics Most? As Catholics, we are led to raise questions about political life other than those that concentrate on individual, material well-being. We focus more broadly on what protects or threatens the dignity of every human life. Catholic teaching challenges voters and candidates, citizens and elected officials, to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of public policy issues. In light of ethical principles, we bishops offer the following policy goals that we hope will guide Catholics as they form their consciences and reflect on the moral dimensions of their public choices:

Fragmento del sumario de la USCCB (Conferencia Católica de los Obispos de EE.UU.) Documento: CIUDADANÍA FIEL (una guía para los católicos sobre cómo votar) ¿Qué políticas públicas deben preocupar más a los Católicos?

Como Católicos, nos planteamos preguntas acerca de la vida política distintas a las que se concentran en el bienestar material de individuos. Nos enfocamos más ampliamente en lo que nos protege o amenaza la dignidad de cada vida humana. Las enseñanzas Católicas retan a los votantes y candidatos, ciudadanos y funcionarios electos, a considerar las dimensiones morales y ética de los asuntos de las políticas públicas. A la luz de los principios éticos, los obispos ofrecen los siguientes objetivos de política que esperamos guiará a los católicos, a que formen su conciencia y reflexionen sobre las dimensiones morales de sus opciones públicas:
