Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has been elected as the next President of the United States. We at Christ the King Law Center (CKLC) wish to offer a prayer to the President-Elect and to all those who will become the new leaders of the United States of America. This prayer was provided to the Church by Pope St. Clement of Rome and is one of the most ancient prayers for political authorities:
"Grant to them, Lord, health, peace, concord, and stability, so that they may exercise without offense the sovereignty that you have given them. Master, heavenly King of the ages, you give glory, honor, and power over the things of earth to the sons of men. Direct, Lord, their counsel, following what is pleasing and acceptable in your sight, so that by exercising with devotion and in peace and gentleness the power that you have given to them, they may find favor with you."
