Lord Jesus, we pray for our military, fallen in the line of duty in the skies, on earth, on the seas.

For their supreme sacrifice, for the faith, hope and love, that animated them to serve their country, give them eternal life, comfort to us, and to the whole world prosperity and peace.

Lord of life, let our people accept the military example, and always be worthy of their sacrifice, in the faithfulness of noble traditions, and in love of human and Christian values of our history.

Amen.
