Prayer for Veterans

St. Michael the Archangel, you are the prince of the heavenly host of angels and the guardian of souls. You watch over us and protect us as we strive to live with faithfulness.

As patron saint of soldiers, we ask you to look after those who have served our nation in the military. Guard our veterans, who have placed themselves in harm’s way to defend our country, and help them find meaningful work and relationships. Bring us all safely to our final heavenly home.

We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Mark,
