Mantle of Mary Prayer

Almighty Father, we offer our prayers in the Holy Name of your Eucharistic Son, Jesus, in atonement for the sins of the United States, especially for the sin of abortion and all sins of the flesh. We humbly request that You fortify the fearsome Guardian Angel of the United States, along with your mighty Archangel Michael and every angel assigned to their legions, to save America in her time of distress. May they teach us how to combat evil.

Eternal Father, deliver us as you delivered your people by the parting of the Red Sea!

Eternal Father, just as your servant David defeated Goliath with one smooth stone, by the sweep of your mighty hand, cast into the abyss forever all those diabolical powers and principalities which seek to dominate and degrade our children, our neighbors, and our communities. Direct us as you directed David's stone in battle.

Eternal Father, we beg You to remember always the sacrifice of our holy martyrs of North America, whose blood has forever anointed our very soil for Your divine purposes.

Eternal Father, honor the faith of our fathers and mothers who have gone before us into your heavenly embrace, and who intercede for victory on our behalf.

Eternal Father, honor the covenant made by our bishops, who, inspired by your prophetic grace, solemnly consecrated our nation to the Immaculate Virgin Mary in every century since our founding.

By the infinite merits of the Blood of Christ, offered everywhere and every day in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout our states and territories, keep the Mantle of Mary pinned at every border to fully cover the United States of America, a nation you, O God, brought forth into salvation history through your divine will, merciful grace, and providential protection.

O Almighty and Eternal Father, in union with all of our Christian brothers and sisters who offer prayers, fasts, and self-denials for deliverance of America from evil, we implore You to deeply immerse every soul in our beloved nation within an overflowing ocean of your Holy Spirit, the Divine Spouse of Immaculate Mary, and to thus vanquish the serpent, his demons, and those who serve the evil one within our midst, while bringing forth, we pray, the new Great Awakening and Illumination of Consciences. Amen.
