Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

Psalm 144

Prayer for National Deliverance and Security

A Psalm of David.

144 Blessed be the Lord, my rock,

who trains my hands for war,

and my fingers for battle;

2 my rock and my fortress,

my stronghold and my deliverer,

my shield and he in whom I take refuge,

who subdues the peoples under him.

3 O Lord, what is man that thou dost regard him,

or the son of man that thou dost think of him?

4 Man is like a breath,

his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down!

Touch the mountains that they smoke!

6 Flash forth the lightning and scatter them,

send out thy arrows and rout them!

7 Stretch forth thy hand from on high,

rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,

from the hand of aliens,

8 whose mouths speak lies,

and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to thee, O God;

upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to thee,

10 who givest victory to kings,

who rescuest David thy servant.

11 Rescue me from the cruel sword,

and deliver me from the hand of aliens,

whose mouths speak lies,

and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth

be like plants full grown,

our daughters like corner pillars

cut for the structure of a palace;

13 may our garners be full,

providing all manner of store;

may our sheep bring forth thousands

and ten thousands in our fields;

14 may our cattle be heavy with young,

suffering no mischance or failure in bearing;

may there be no cry of distress in our streets!

15 Happy the people to whom such blessings fall!

Happy the people whose God is the Lord!

PRAYER FOR THE

CONVERSION OF FREEMASONS

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who showest forth Thine omnipotence most manifestly when Thou sparest and hast compassion, Thou Who didst say, “Pray for those who persecute and calumniate you,” we implore the clemency of Thy Sacred Heart on behalf of souls, made in the image of God, but most miserably deceived by the treacherous snares of Freemasons and going more and more astray in the way of

perdition.

Let not the Church, Thy Spouse, any longer be

oppressed by them, but appeased by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, Thy Mother, and the prayers of the just, be mindful of Thine infinite mercy; and disregarding their perversity, cause these very men to return to Thee, that they may bring consolation to the Church by a most abundant penance, make reparation for their misdeeds, and secure for themselves a glorious eternity. Who livest and reignest world without end.

Amen.
