Day 8 of the Thanksgiving Novena to St Anne

DAY 8 OF THE THANKSGIVING NOVENA TO ST ANNE

FOR MY COUNTRY

Dearest Saint Anne, I wish to pray for my country and all my fellow countrymen. Help us love our country and understand what made it great and beautiful. Help us find the reasons we have to hope and the means for victory over the foes, both from within and from without, that threaten what is best in our land.

We thank You, Lord, for the lands and rivers in our country, for its plains and mountains, its fields and forests.

We thank You for the wisdom of our constitution, for the freedom it guarantees to all of us. We thank You for our Churches that keep Your grace available to all. We thank You for our institutions of knowledge, for our universities and colleges, for our technicians, engineers and workers who have dug inexhaustible treasures our of our land and seas.

Dearest St Anne, may our people become more than ever united in God, in a common faith in Him and in a common effort to build a world of Christian unity. Amen.
