Veteran prayer thank you

We thank all who served, whether in peace or in war.

It is a historical fact that Catholic armies have saved the world many times over. Whether turning back the tides of hostile Islamic invasions, or defending the Church from mad kings and despots, Catholics have always answered the call to combat evil. This Veteran’s Day, we give thanks to the millions of Catholic-American veterans who left behind the comforts of home to serve in the vanguards, or to stand watch over our nation, which is home to more than70 millions Catholics welcome to practice their faith freely.

May God bless all our veterans, by whose sacrifices we remain free.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) – Today we thank all our veterans, who have sacrificed and served to keep our nation free. However, as Catholics we would like to offer a special thank you to our closest brothers and sisters in Christ, our Catholic veterans.

Catholics have served faithfully in every conflict endured by our great nation. They are genuine patriots, sworn to protect and defend the Constitution. They do not serve merely for the benefit of fellow Catholics, but for all.

Our religious freedom, enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution, is actively defended by each Catholic veteran. We remain free to worship God, to attend Mass, to pay the Rosary and to offer our religious allegiance to the Holy Father in Rome and Jesus Christ precisely because of our veterans. It is our strength and the willingness of many to serve that discourages all who envy our freedom and despise our faith.

We recognize the Catholics who have served in combat. Stories abound of their example of faith. The Hail Mary, a simple prayer, easy to follow, has often been shared between Catholics, Protestants, and believers and non-believers of every stripe in the world’s foxholes. And there is no doubt these prayers have brought comfort and aid to many in their hour of need.

We recognize the Catholics who did not face the horrors of war, and the dangers of sudden death. While spared this suffering, they still sacrificed, leaving families, comforts, and luxury behind to serve. They accepted a spartan life, filled with strict routine, boredom, and sharp commands to stand ready to do harm to any who would harm to us. Whether standing by with a weapon, or a broom, each person has served in an essential role to guarantee the safe and smooth operation of the vast machine that is our military. Let it be remembered always, in the words of John Milton, “they also serve who stand and wait.”

So for our veterans, let us now pray:

Heavenly Father, we ask you to look down upon our brothers and sisters in arms, and bless them as they stand ready to defend your children from the agents of evil.

For those who are preparing to serve and training to serve, we ask you to make them strong and resolute. May they learn to obey and serve, so that in the hour of need they will serve ably and honorably, carrying on the tradition to defend the people, their faith, and our Constitution.

For those who serve, standing and waiting, we ask you to send blessings of comfort and encouragement. May they know they are not forgotten, either by you or by their loved ones at home. Whether in the bowels of ships, the heat of a distant desert, or watching across the violent expanse of a no man’s land, we honor them. Whether armed with a rifle, a pen, or a humble implement, we are grateful for their labor which keeps us free at home to worship and pray.

For those who experience the horrors of war, we most fervently beseech you, Oh Lord, to place your hand upon their hearts, steady them in battle. It is you who teaches their hands to war and their fingers to fight. Be their shield and bulwark in battle, and make them swift and accurate. Dispel all enemies before them, that your people be saved and peace may reign.

For those who have returned from service, we ask your special intercession. In returning home, many of your sons and daughters face new battles with enemies, lethal as bullets. Embrace these children of discord, and hold them tightly to your bosom, Lord, so they may know your comfort in their darkest moments. Restore sight to their eyes, and shine radiant upon their faces, that they may walk not in the shadows which ensnare, but in the light of your glory.

For our wounded veterans, who bear scars in their hearts, minds, and bodies, we ask your blessing. Lord, cherish this wounded legion, invited to share in the suffering of Christ. May they see Christ though their pain, and find hope in His promises. We await the day your make their bodies and their hearts whole once again.

For those who have left their uniform hanging in the past, who move with difficulty, who reflect with a distant gaze upon times better unknown, we ask you to send peace. Let ancient wrongs be pardoned and forgot. Give these veterans comfort and peace. May they live long as examples of courage and faith, and may they inspire their children and grandchildren to stand ready to defend our Constitution, our God-given rights, and our faith.

We thank you Lord, for the multitude of blessings you have given us. We are grateful for the time you have given us with these courageous people.

May you raise up all our dear veterans in the palm of your hand, and bless them as we turn their swords into plowshares. We give thanks to you O Lord, Our God.

AMEN

Freedom is powerful. It’s a gift. A treasure.

The most significant, important gifts in life are always worth fighting for. And often, they come with a great price.  They are not free. Somewhere along the way, someone paid dearly for the liberties we enjoy so freely today. But sometimes, we forget. It’s easy to take them for granted. We enjoy freedom, but most of us alive today, have always had it. We may not even be fully aware of just how many men and women have paid dearly for the gifts we enjoy today. The price was paid through many long years.

On the heels of a heated Presidential race, this is a day to unite, to remember and pray, to show our gratitude for so many who have fought on behalf of our country.

For all those who have protected our nation, for the men and women in uniform, together, we say “Thank You.”

There’s great power and strength in the loyalty of your service, because of these things:

• There’s power in unity and standing strong together.
• There’s power in fighting on behalf of our nation, and for those who cannot fight for themselves.
• There’s power in rising up in courage, pursuing victory for what is right.
• There’s power in knowing that God Himself fights on our behalf.
• There’s power in prayer and in the One who sets us truly free.

Thank you for reminding us that there’s incredible love and sacrifice displayed, when one is willing to stand strong, and fight for freedom. 

This service of love and sacrifice on behalf of all people, points us directly to the greatest love of all, the very gift and sacrifice of Christ. Our Savior was willing to pay the ultimate price, so that we can live free.

Forever.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” 2 Cor. 9:15

Remembering today. And thankful that so many have been willing to pay a great price for our freedom. May God help us to live so bravely today…

11 Reminders of God’s Freedom and Protection:

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm…” Gal. 5:1

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;” Ps. 23:4

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” Is. 61:1

For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deut. 20:4

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” Rom. 8:31

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Josh. 1:9

“Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge…” Ps. 144:1-2

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.”  Ps. 33:12

“The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”  Zeph. 3:17

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!’” Ps. 91:1-2

A Prayer for Veterans: for the Men and Women in Uniform

Dear God,

We thank you for the freedom you have given to us, and for the price that was paid by Christ so that we could live free. We remember today. The cost of it all. The great sacrifice for freedom.

We thank you for the brave who have fought, and continue to fight, so courageously for our nation. We ask for your covering and blessing over them and their families. We pray that you would be gracious and encircle them with your peace. We pray for your great favor and goodness to be evident in their lives.

Please be with the men and women in uniform, who serve our communities and nation every single day. We ask that you provide your protection, that you would be their guiding force who leads the way, and their rear guard who keeps them safe from behind. We ask that you would draw them to yourself amidst the dangers they face in a dark world, for you are the Truth, you are the Way, you are the Light.

When the voice of hate rises up against them, we ask that you would silence it. When the plans of the enemy rise up to cause them to stumble, we ask that you would thwart it. When the forces of evil rise up to strike them down, we ask that you would stop it. Lord, we know how powerful you are, all have heard of your Great Name, and we ask that you would indeed be the wind beneath their wings, the power behind their efforts, the heart behind their service, as they are on the front lines against evil in our world today.

Help them to walk wisely. To stay covered in your armor. Give them godly discernment. Make them constantly aware of what lurks close by. Help them to be men and women of prayer, realizing that this is where their greatest help comes from. Help them to stay united and strong, bold and resolute, determined and unwavering.

Lord bless all those who wear the uniform, who serve our cities, our nation, our people. Bless their families. Bless those they love. Give them your great favor, this day, and every day.

Thank you that in our nation today, we are free to worship. We are free to pray. We are free to read your Word.  We are free to speak.  We are free to share. For this, we are incredibly grateful. Yet, we understand how quickly these freedoms can be taken away. Give us an increased awareness of the spiritual battle we’re in. Help us to stand strong in you and for your purposes.

 Thank you that as believers, we can be assured, you never leave us, and you are with us always, in this life, and the next.

In the Powerful Name of Jesus,

Amen.

We honor you today Veterans, and all those who wear the uniform, as we pray…and give thanks…and remember.

The Lord bless you greatly for your service and sacrifice.

And may God bless America!
