Praying for Our President

I have wondered quite frequently since the presidential election last year if various attacks were going to come against our new president because of his willingness to move our country (at least generally) in a more moral and even Catholic direction. I do not mean only in physical attacks (like assassination attempts, etc.), but also in demonic activity (witches spells, etc.) and trials and temptations to destroy him spiritually.

I pray for our leaders regularly. I prayed for our previous "president" (he was the guy in the oval office, but I am still not convinced he was rightly elected); I prayed that he would be healed of his psychotic behavior and repent of his grave immorality. I will also pray for our current president. We all must realize that the more public a person is, and the more clearly he wants to bring about goodness, the more likely will he be hated by the devil and thus the more likely will he be attacked.

Fr. Ripperger, who has helped many of us in our faith in various ways, has released a wonderful prayer to be offered up to the Blessed Virgin in behalf of President Trump:

Immaculate Mary, patroness of the United States of America. Queen of Heaven and earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things that are lower than God, sorrowful and mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of our nation, we come to thee our refuge and hope, knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works, and mindful of how much our nation has departed from the ways of thy Son, we humbly ask that thou wouldst turn thine eyes upon our country to bring about its conversion.

We consecrate to thee all of those governing our Republic, so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens of our nation may be accomplished, and that they would govern according to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring our nation into conformity with the teachings of thy Son. Bind any forces, spiritual or human, that would seek to inflict harm or evil on our country, or against those who do good for our nation by their governance.

Give grace to the citizens of this land, so that they may merit leaders who will govern according to the Sacred Heart of thy Son, that His glory may be made manifest, lest we be given the leaders we deserve. Trusting in the providential care of God the Father and thy maternal care, we have perfect confidence that thou wilt take care of us and will not leave us forsaken.

O Mary Immaculate, pray for us.
