† Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam † "Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace Be With You." John 20:19 My Companions in Prayer, On this day, Christmas Eve, as we are beginning the Holy Christmas Season let us pray for the Gift of Jesus' Peace and Security to be felt in the hearts of Our Loved Ones serving in the Military and their Families at this Tender Time of Holidays adding to the emotions of separation. Let us carry Our Hearts and all of Our Emotions to our Heavenly Father.
"Loving Father, You understand our hearts and we come in need of your comfort and assurance that our Children and Loved Ones serving in the Military are under Your protection and held in your embrace. Please be Our Father and calm the loneliness of separation and the concerns that disturb our peace. Amen." Karen Harrington "And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host, praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest, and peace to those on whom His favor rests." Luke 2:13-14
"May the Lord bless and protect you. May the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you. May He be gracious to you, show you His favor and give you His Peace." Numbers 6:24-26 "For He will command His Angels concerning You to guard You in All of Your Ways." Psalm 91:11 Saint Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Battle
