In the name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Heavenly Father, You have chosen me in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy and without blame before Christ (1).

A Prayer After Voting
O Lord, the vote is cast. Out of Your divine, Fatherly goodness and mercy, deal with us not according to our sins, but in Your mercy give us faithful rulers, wise judges, and good laws. Keep us through the troubles of this life until we attain to the eternal joys of the life to come. Amen.
