    July 2025 On-Air Prayers

    Every month, you’ll hear special prayers read during breaks on AM 1260 The Rock. Here are July’s prayers:


    July 1 – 15: Mother Angelica Prayer for our Country 

    Lord God, I ask in all humility that You bless this country, as unworthy as we are.

    Protect it from every evil.

    Protect it from the enemy.

    Protect it Lord, that it may accomplish Thy will, and keep Thy commandments. 

    I ask, Lord, with a pleading heart, to look down upon us in our unworthiness. 

    Give this country a renewal of devotion to You, to Your Law, to Your commandments, Lord. 

    Let us be once more a country under You, may we once more say “In God we trust.” 

    Guide us and protect this country from every evil and every harm. 

    Amen


    July 16 – 31: Prayer for Vacation (courtesy of https://www.catholicprayercards.org)

    Heavenly Father, when your work of creation was complete, you rested.

    Lord, during our vacations from the cares and burdens of everyday life, please renew us physically, mentally, and spiritually.

    Help us to slow down and take delight in your magnificent creation and in all those we will share this time with.

    Help us to embrace this period of leisure and regain strength to continue our journey through life.

    By leaving our work behind for these days, may we focus our gaze on you, and reflect on what is important in life.

    Remind us to pray each day since we are taking this vacation with you, not away from you.

    May you keep us safe in our travels and protect us from all harm.

    May we be revitalized and refreshed so that we may return to carry out our daily responsibilities with joy and newfound enthusiasm.

    Amen

    June 2025 On-Air Prayers

    Every month, you hear special prayers read during breaks on AM 1260 The Rock. Here are June’s prayers:


    Pentecost People

    Come, Holy Spirit and make us Pentecost people.

    Let your wisdom and right judgement guide our decisions and temper our impulses.

    Let knowledge and understanding increase our capacity for empathy and compassion.

    Let reverence and awe fill us with gratitude and respect for all creation.

    Give us the courage to witness boldly to our faith in word and deed.

    Through and with and in Jesus Christ, we pray.

    Amen.


    A Father’s Prayer

    Heavenly Father,

    I thank you for the gift of my family, for whom I now pray and upon whom I now ask you to shower your blessings.  With St. Joseph as my guide, may I always be ready to spend my life for them.

    Bless my wife whom you have given to me as a spouse, sharing in your wonderous work of creation.  May I treat her with the love of Christ for his Church. May Mary be her guide and help her to find your peace and your grace.


    Bless my children with your life and presence.  May the example of your son be the foundation upon which their lives are built, that the Gospel may always be their hope and support.  

    I ask you, Father, to protect and bless my family.  Watch over it so that in the strength of your love its members may possess the gift of your peace and always bear witness to your glory in the world.

    Amen.
