"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

O God, I beseech You, watch over those exposed to the horror of war, and the spiritual dangers of a soldier’s or sailor’s life.

Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it, nor fear ever to practice it. By Your grace, O God, fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that being preserved from vice, and serving You faithfully, they may be ready to meet you face to face when they are so called: through Christ our Lord. Amen

Sacred Heart! Inspire them with sorrow for sin, and grant them pardon. Mother of God! Be with them on the battlefield during life and at the hour of death, and grant that they may live and die in the grace of thy Son. Amen. St. Joseph! Pray for them. May their Guardian Angel protect them. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You have issued a call to prayer for the safety and protection of our Defenders of Freedom and that this coming week might be especially brutal, if the enemy's plans prevail. We come before You, Merciful God, with petition that You would thwart each and every plan of destruction. Let no harm come near those who serve ... give them wisdom and discernment that they might prevent the shedding of innocent blood.

Father, I pray that You would cause the hearts of our troops and the coalition forces and the Iraqi people to unite as one with a desire to prevent death and destruction. Grant them good success, O God, for their mission is liberation and freedom and the ability of citizens to live peaceably in the land. Thank You, Creator God, for those who stand watch. May the Spirit of God cause us to stand watch over them before the Throne of Grace, in praise and petition, and in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
