Memorial Day

 

 Please pray for the repose of the souls of our departed service men and women who are in purgatory. Eternal Rest Grant unto them O Lord, and May Perpetual Light Shine upon Them! And may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Psalm 27:3-4 says, "Though an army besieges me, my heart will not fear; though war breaks out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."

On this Memorial Day, we come before You O God, our Creator. We pray that you bless the souls of the good men and women who gave their last breath in defense of our nation, our freedom, and our children's future and reward them with eternal life. We thank you for our veterans and ask you to bless them. We pray-- by your grace and love--- you will protect those serving in the military today. We beseech you to shower your graces and blessings upon our nation, that it may acknowledge you as our sovereign Lord and that we may truly be one nation under God. Protect and deliver the United States of America from all evil and bring our nation under Your dominion so that life, liberty and freedom will always be granted to every person. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. And through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the Immaculate Conception, the patroness of our country. Amen
