First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions,
in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in
all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God
our savior who wills everyone to be saved and to
come to knowledge of the truth.
I Timothy 2:1-4
John Carroll was the first Catholic Bishop in the United States.
Archbishop Carroll wrote the above prayer for our newly formed government
on November 10, 1791, to be recited in parishes throughout his diocese.
