A Prayer For Heroes
Version 1 (with Christ reference)
Dearest Lord,
Throughout the ages, even to today, you have raised up
for us Heroes, as examples of what is best in our humanity.
Bless all those
whose sacrifice, love and courage have given so much to this world. Protect
those Heroes in harm’s way. Strengthen those whose heroic contribution
perseveres day in and day out. Heal those whose heroism has cost them in
mind and body. Give your eternal peace to those who have gone from this life.
Grant by your grace, that we may each find ever deeper heroic virtues
in ourselves so that we may, following the example of the Hero of Heroes, your
Son Jesus Christ, serve others as he served us - every day, in every way.
Amen
Version 2 (without Christ reference)
Dearest Lord,
Throughout the ages, even to today, you have raised up for us Heroes, as examples of what is best in our humanity.
Bless all those whose sacrifice, love and courage have given so much to this world. Protect those Heroes in harm’s way. Strengthen those whose heroic contribution perseveres day in and day out. Heal those whose heroism has cost them in mind and body. Give your eternal peace to those who have gone from this life.
Grant by your grace, that we may each find ever deeper heroic virtues in ourselves so that we may serve others every day, in every way.
Amen
Feel free to use this prayer in any reverent manner you desire. We do ask however out of respect for our copyright that if you use it in any public manner that you send us a note telling us, and where possible that you make a donation to one of our charities in our name. If you were to point people to us as the source of the prayer, we'd be very grateful as well.
Thank you and God bless you.
