Almighty and eternal God,
who through Jesus Christ has revealed Your Glory to all nations,
please protect and preserve Belize
our beloved country.

God of might, wisdom and justice,
please assist our Belizean government and people
with Your Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude.

Let the light of your divine wisdom direct their plans and endeavours
so that with Your help we may attain our just objectives.
With Your guidance, may all our endeavours tend to peace,
social justice, liberty, national happiness,
the increase of industry, sobriety and useful knowledge.

We pray, o God of Mercy, for all of us
that we may be blessed in the knowledge of Your most Holy Law,
that we may be preserved in union,
and in that peace which the world itself cannot give.
and, after enjoying the blessings of this life,
please admit us dear Lord, to that eternal reward
that You have prepared for those who love You.

Amen.

The George Price Centre for Peace and Development
wishes all Belizeans a Happy Independence Day
and a Blessed International Day of Peace!
