Annual Good Friday Procession at Canadian Parliament




Led by the Archbishop of the See of Ottawa.

Prayers for our government and leaders.

From the Good Friday Liturgy:

FOR RULERS OF STATES

And let us pray for all who govern states, and all their ministers and officials; that our Lord and God may direct their hearts and minds according to his will and for our lasting peace.

Let us pray.  Let us kneel.  Rise.

Almighty eternal God, in whose hand rest all government and all rights of nations, graciously look on those who have power to rule us, so that everywhere on earth, under the protection of thy right hand, religion and the safety of each country may remain intact: through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who is God, living and reigning with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.  Amen.
