A reading from Colossians 3:15-16
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and advise one another with all wisdom from the Spirit and with gratitude in your hearts. With love and blessings.
Petitions
Holy One, we give you thanks for all the men and women who have served in the armed forces of this nation. Let all Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen serve with honor, pride, and compassion. Today we lift our veterans in prayer and ask your blessings on all those who have given of themselves in times of peace and in times of war.
Holy One, for those who have been injured in body or spirit, we ask for your healing.
Holy One, give courage to those who are far from home, may they feel your presence and our support
Holy One, grant courage and strength to families of those who are deployed.
Holy One, guide us as we seek to help and support veterans who are returning home.
Holy One, we ask that you wrap families who have lost loved ones due to war in your comforting arms and give them strength to meet the days ahead, remembering your Resurrection promise.
We also ask, Holy One, that you give all leaders a hunger for peace. We pray for a time when there is no war.
Closing Prayer: A Letter to Veterans
Dear Veterans,
Those of us who have not served
Will never fully understand
The sacrifices you have made
Both in times of peace and of war.
We will never fully understand
What you were required to do
Or how you were able to do it.
We will never fully understand
The depth of your scars.
But what we can offer you is this:
We see you.
We recognize your humanity.
And we send you Love
That is gentle, patient and healing.
With Blessings and Gratitude,
We ask that you remember you are loved.
Thank you.
