Holy Spirit, we are a sinful nation,
and we beg you to send us Your authentic spirit of repentance.
We are also a nation capable of great charity and justice,
so look not on our sins,
Heavenly Spirit of Mercy,
but upon our sorrow and resolve to turn from evil,
to fight evil, and procure victory over evil.
Illuminate the minds and souls of our citizens
and especially our leaders
so we can see the error of our ways,
and give us the sweet grace required to turn to God with pure hearts.
