St. John Neumann

January 5 (the nation)

Father God, Saint John Neumann worked tirelessly to spread the Gospel. I lift up to his intercession the country in which I live. With him, I pray that You, O God, will reign as King and that the salvation of Your Son, Jesus Christ, will rescue those who are headed for the everlasting pit of destruction. I give to you, O Lord, the values of my society, the influences of the media, and the leadership of every national and local government agency, and every business, school, and religious organization. Show me how I can make a difference in these places for Christ. Saint John Neumann, pray for us. Amen.
