All Powerful God,
Watch over all our dear ones who serve this day in
the military.
Hold them safely in the palm of your hand.
Walk with them in your strength.
Bring comfort and hope when they are weary.
Remind them of our love.
Merciful Lord,
Bring a lasting peace into our midst.
Heal our hearts and help all nations find ways to live in
harmony
So that blood is shed no more.
We ask this in the name of Christ Jesus,
Prince of Peace.
Amen.

Following the celebration of the Eucharist there is a ten
(10) minute period of silence before any other devotion
begins during the week.
Popular piety extends, but does not replace, the liturgical
life of the Church. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
of the Second Vatican Council teaches that “devotions
should be so drawn that they harmonize with the liturgical
seasons, are in accord with the sacred liturgy and are in
some way derived from it and lead people to it since the
liturgy by its very nature far surpasses any of them.”
(Sacrosanctum Concilium #13.3)
