The Church recognises that military personnel can contribute enormously to the
stability of our world and to the establishment of peace.
This Jubilee will celebrate the efforts all members of the armed forces and police,
municipal police, security operators, veterans, military associations, military
academies, chaplaincies and military ordinariates provide for peace.
PRAYER
Lord our God, we thank you for the service and sacrifice of all who have made possible the
freedom we enjoy and the heritage we have been given.
We commend to you all who serve our nation in the Armed Forces, Police and Security.
Shelter them in danger, and in time of peace keep them from all evil.
For ourselves, we pray that you will help us to persevere in loyalty and courage,
and grant us to be worthy of those who have gone before us.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
