have.

Sambayanang Panalangin para sa Halalan 2010

Panginoon, pagpalain Niyo po sana ang darating na eleksyon. Nawa’y ito na
ang maging simula ng pagbangon ng aming bayan mula sa kahirapan. Pat-
nubayan Niyo po sana ang isipan namin, upang mapili namin ang mga kara-
pat-dapat na mamuno sa aming bayan:
mga pinunong MAKABAYAN, na mangangalaga sa kapakanan ng bansa
at di ng kanilang sarili;
mga pinunong MARUNONG mamahala, upang maging maayos ang
pamamalakad ng aming gobyerno;
mga pinunong MASIPAG sa pag-ganap ng mga tungkulin nilang sinum-
paan;
mga pinunong MARANGAL , ‘di nasisilaw sa salapi, at matapang na
lumalaban sa katiwalian;
at higit sa lahat, mga pinunong MAKA-DIYOS at laging sumusunod sa
Inyong kagustuhan.
Patnubayan po Ninyo ang aming hiling, na maging malinis, mapayapa at
makabuluhan ang darating na halalan. Gabayan Niyo po kami, sa lahat ng
oras, sa tamang pagpili ng mga mamumuno sa aming bayan, upang tuluyan
nang magkaisa at umunlad ang bayang Pilipinas.
Hiling po namin ito sa Inyo, sa ngalan ng Inyong Anak na si Hesukristo.
Amen.

Little keys can open big locks. Simple words can express great thoughts. A
simple prayer everyday immeasurably brings you God’s blessings in grace.
