Prayers for us on Memorial Day
Prayer on Memorial Day
Lord Jesus Christ,
Today we honor the memory of those men and women
who have given their lives for their compatriots
in the cause of freedom.
They have worked, fought, and died
for the heritage of freedom, brotherhood, and honor
that they have passed on to us.Help us to recall that you yourself
gave up your life for all human beings
in the cause of true freedom -
to save us from self-love and sin.
Teach us the true meaning of peace and freedom,
that the real battle must always take place within ourselves
before it will be won in families and nations.
Make us keep your memory in our Eucharistic celebrations
and pray for the peace and freedom of the whole world.
Prayer to St. Martin of Tours (Patron Saint of Soldiers)
Dear well-beloved Saint,
you were first a soldier like your father.
Converted to the Church,
you became a soldier of Christ,
a priest and then a Bishop of Tours.Lover of the Poor,
and model for pagans and Christians alike,
protect our soldiers at all times.
Make them strong, just, and charitable,
always aiming at establishing peace on earth.
God bless,
Jay
