PRAYER FOR DECEASED VETERAN

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Easter, I have to share a funny story with you. After Mass it dawned on Joey it was December 7th and he said Happy Pearl Harbor Day! Since Joey is Japanese, that cracked us up :-) I told him "he would have to say that" ha ha ha.
