We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn from conception to natural death and those abandoned, Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. ORACIÓN PARA ANTES DE UNAS ELECCIONES Señor Dios, a medida que se acercan las elecciones, buscamos entender mejor los temas y preocupaciones que afronta nuestra ciudad/nuestro estado/nuestro país, y cómo el Evangelio nos apremia a responder a estos retos como ciudadanos fieles de nuestra comunidad. Te pedimos que nuestros ojos no sufran de ceguera para que así podamos ver a los demás como hermanos y hermanas nuestros, quienes gozan de una dignidad que nos une y nos hace iguales. De manera especial te pedimos que reconozcamos como hermanos y hermanas a quienes son víctimas de abusos y de la violencia, de los engaños y de la pobreza. Te pedimos que nuestros oídos escuchen el llanto de los niños aún no nacidos y de quienes han sido abandonados, que escuchemos el llanto de los hombres y mujeres que son oprimidos a causa de su raza o credo, religión o género. Te pedimos para que nuestra mente y nuestro corazón estén abiertos a escuchar la voz de los líderes que nos acercan cada vez más a tu Reino. Te pedimos por el don del discernimiento para que elijamos líderes que escuchan tu Palabra, viven en tu amor y caminan por la senda de tu verdad, a medida que siguen el camino de Jesús y sus Apóstoles y nos guían hacia tu Reino de paz y justicia. Te lo pedimos por tu Hijo Jesucristo, a través del poder del Espíritu Santo, Amén.
