ANZAC Day Prayer

LEST WE FORGET...
Today, the whole Australian nation commemorates ANZAC day. We remember the fallen soldiers who bravely fought and gave their lives for the sake of the country and the world. So, I invite all blog visitors to pray with me for the deceased heroes of this beautiful nation...


O Lord, lover of souls, who through the mouth of your prophet of old declared that all souls are yours, we thank you for the brave and faithful dead, who willingly laid down their lives on the battlefields of war or succumbed to the perils of the deep or of the air. We bless you for the dauntless courage of those defenders of our country who have fallen in the cause of truth and righteousness. In your hand, O Father, we leave their departed spirits. Grant us to follow their good example in faithfulness and endurance, even unto death, that we may with them be found worthy of the crown of everlasting life. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord. And Let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
