HEAVENLY FATHER, we commend the lives of our military personnel to Christ on the cross of his passion.
MAY OUR brave young patriots serving in the army, air force, navy and national guard entrust themselves to your protective care, especially those who serve in harm’s way. Give our military personnel the courage to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things and endure all things for the sake of Jesus' name. [cf. 1Cor 13:7]
WE PRAY that civil and military leaders will guide our service men and women to be outstanding citizens and defenders of our nation's liberty. May your strong right hand be on the shoulder of our beloved nation.
HOLY SPIRIT of friendship and consolation, lead our young men and women safely home from the field of battle. Shepherd of Souls, bring them back to their homeland safe and sound with all that is needed for their welfare. This we ask, merciful Father, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
