Remember Their Sacrifices This Memorial Day Weekend
25 May 2016
We join in this prayer, from the Archidocese of Detroit, as we think this weekend about the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Heavenly Father,
On this Memorial Day Weekend, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the example of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with your strength and peace. In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe.
We pray through Christ our Lord.
Amen
