We Remember…

Let us pray today for all those who gave of their lives in service of our country.

“Almighty ever-living God, hear our prayers for those who died in defence of country and freedom; grant them eternal rest, and peace to us who keep faith with them, that we may be instruments of your reconciliation and peace, following the example of your son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”

-Opening Collect from the Roman Missal, published by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2011
