MILITARY CHAPEL PRAYER

O glorious Saint John man of God and of the Church, animator
of bold ranks, we military chaplains of the armed forces of land, sky and sea
We pray to you with the same ardor you had when you invoked the Lord to lead the
Your men to safeguard Christian civilization
We too, by sacred duty to God and to the Fatherland, are called to support
the new generations in the search and defense of the supreme values ​​of justice and
peace. Teach us to love our soldiers as you loved them, to feel them closer; that
brothers, to understand them in their human and spiritual aspirations.
Help us to bring the same passion of faith to the heart of our Units
and the integrity of our testimony. This is what our men of arms ask us
and this we must offer them. Therefore, O our heavenly Patron, we turn to You;
from you, or seraphic apostle, we implore and for Your merits we await the Gifts of the Spirit.
Amen.
