Auxiliary members believe and promote allegiance to God and Country.
We ask for God's Blessings and Thank Him
for every day we have on this earth.
WE CAN ALL DO WITH A MOMENT OF SILENCE IN OUR DAY
JUST TO REFLECT AND BE GRATEFUL
FOR OUR EXISTENCE AND ALL OUR BLESSINGS.
We have an opening and closing prayer for every meeting.
We also say a prayer at meals and other services.
LORD'S PRAYER
the principle prayer used by all Christians in common worship.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory forever.
Amen
On Easter Day 2007, it was estimated that two billion
Catholic, Anglican, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christians
read, recited, or sang the short prayer in hundreds of languages
Although theological differences and various modes of worship divide Christians,
according to Fuller Seminary professor Clayton Schmit,
"there is a sense of solidarity in knowing that Christians around the globe are praying together...,
and these words always unite us." http://en.wikipedia.org/

ALA Opening Prayer
“Almighty God, Father of all mankind and Judge over nations,
we pray Thee to guide our work in this meeting and in all our days.
Send Thy peace to our nation and to all nations.
Hasten the fulfillment of Thy promise of peace that shall have no end.
We pray for all those who serve the people and guard the public welfare;
that by Thy blessing they may be enabled to discharge their duties honestly and well.
We pray for our members; that by Thy help
they may observe the strictest justice; keep alight the fires of freedom,
strive earnestly for the spirit of democracy,
and preserve untarnished our loyalty to our country and to Thee.
“We especially ask Thy blessing and comfort
for all those who are suffering from the ravages of war.
May our duty to them be ever alive in our minds.
Finally, O God of Mercy, we remember lovingly before Thee
our departed heroes who received from
Thee the reward of life everlasting.
May their splendid example guide us, now and forever, Amen.”
“O God from whom all holy desires, all right counsels
and all just works do proceed, give to
Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give;
that our hearts may be disposed to obey Thy commandments,
and the fear of enemies being removed, our times,
by Thy protection, may be peaceful.
“O God, who will not let the nations who believe in Thee
to be overwhelmed by any peril;
permit them to receive the prayers and offerings of Thy servants,
that in Thy mercy Thou wouldst grant peace to all people
and make them secure against all their enemies.
O God, the author and lover of peace,
to know whom is to live, to serve whom is to reign;
shield Thy people from all assaults,
so that we who trust in Thy protection may fear no foe.
We ask this through God’s Name. Amen.
