PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO GOVERN
Written by Michael Saward
Lord of the universe and leader of your people, give wisdom to all those who exercise authority. Teach them to put the good of the many before the greed of the few. Help them to love truth and to hate falsehood and corruption, and, above all, urge them to remember that the one who would be greatest must learn to be the servant of all; for Christ's sake. Amen.
