For Unity and Righteousness

For Unity and Righteousness

O BLESSED Jesu, Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, may Thy truth and peace be spread among all people; more especially we pray for the Catholic (Universal) Church, that it may be purged from all error, and be reunited as at the beginning, in one faith and love. We humbly beseech Thee so to dispose the hearts of all Kings, Princes, and Governors of this world, that by Thy inspiration they may rule in righteousness, and labour for the well-being of the people committed to them. Prosper and bless all who are striving to do Thy will, that, having faithfully ministered before Thee, they may receive the recompense of Thy reward; Who, with the Father and Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, One God, world without end. Amen.
