We thank you, Lord Jesus, 
because the Gospel of the Father's love, 
with which you came to save the world, 
has been proclaimed far and wide in America 
as a gift of the Holy Spirit that fills us with gladness.

We thank you for the gift of your Life, 
which you have given us by loving us to the end: 
your Life makes us children of God, 
brothers and sisters to each other. 
Increase, O Lord, our faith and our love 
for you, present in all the tabernacles 
of the continent.

Grant us to be faithful witnesses to your Resurrection 
for the younger generation of Americans, 
so that, in knowing you, they may follow you 
and find in you their peace and joy: 
Only then will they know that they are brothers and sisters 
of all God's children scattered throughout the world.

You who, in becoming man, 
chose to belong to a human family, 
teach families the virtues which filled with light 
the family home of Nazareth.

May families always be united, 
as you and the Father are one, 
and may they be living witnesses to love, justice and solidarity; 
make them schools of respect, forgiveness and mutual help, 
so that the world may believe; 
help them to be the source of vocations
to the priesthood and the consecrated life, 
and all the other forms  of firm Christian commitment.

Protect your Church and the Successor of Peter,
to whom you, Good Shepherd, 
have entrusted the task of feeding your flock.
Grant that the Church in America may flourish
and grow richer in the fruits of holiness.

Teach us to love your Mother, Mary, as you loved her. 
Give us strength to proclaim your word with courage 
in the work of the new evangelization, 
so that the world may know new hope. 

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, pray for us!

 

Let everyone join in the prayer of the Successor of Peter, invoking Christ who is "the way of conversion, communion and solidarity in America." (Ecclesia in America)
