 A Prayer for Memorial Day
Jesus said,
“Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”  
This Memorial Day may we remember the love shown us through those who laid down their lives
both figuratively and literally in service to this nation
seeking freedom, peace, liberty, and justice for all.

God of all creation, hear our prayer
as we commemorate and commend to you
those who served and laid down their lives
in service to this nation
in the various wars and conflicts throughout human history
so that others may live in freedom. 
We praise and thank you for the gift of their lives
and the great sacrifice they have made
in seeking peace, liberty and justice for all.

We also lift into your care those who still mourn
the loss of a loved one, friend, and/or comrade. 
May you comfort them and place within them
your peace that goes beyond all human understanding. 

We pray for all who are in leadership positions,
may they be guided by your Divine wisdom
as they guide this nation.  

We pray for your protection for those who are still serving on land, in the air, and on the sea,
not only for their physical well-being,
but for their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being too.  As it says in America the Beautiful,
may the success of their efforts
be nobleness and every gain divine. 
For those who have returned home
shattered by the visions and memories of war
may you bring healing and wholeness back into their lives.

Bless our young people, may there come a day
that they will never experience the ugliness of war
or the depths of cruelty to which humans can sink. 
Until that day, when they encounter evil,
protect their souls from giving into evil
and guide them in your ways
so that they may be a part of the healing of the nations. 

We pray for those places at home and abroad
where violence, hatred, injustice, and oppression
are a very present reality. 
May you break the hearts of stone
and fill hearts that have been broken
with your life giving love
so that one day all may live in peace. 
Amen
