Holy Mystery of Love
"Gracious and merciful God, at this sacred time we come before you in need, indeed on our knees. But we come still more with hope, and with our eyes raised anew to the vision of a more perfect union in our land—a union of all our citizens to promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

"Be with us, Holy Mystery of Love, as we dream together. Help us under our new president to reconcile the people of our land, restore our dream, and invest it with peace and justice and the joy that is the overflow of love.

"To the glory of your name forever. Amen." — Rev. Leo O'Donovan; 2021 Presidential Inauguration Prayer
