Lord God, Almighty Father, creator of mankind and author of peace, as we are ever mindful of
the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces.
Give them courage, hope and strength. May they ever experience your firm support,
gentle love and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from
darkness to light. To you be all glory, honor and praise, now and forever. Amen.

Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to you in
this time of illness. O dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our
worry and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us
the grace andstrength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our
worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly
ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us
the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do,
you do for the love of us. Amen.
