Memorial Day
Invocation
Source of
All being, we are gathered here on this Memorial Day to reflect upon the
blessings of being part of this great nation and to give tribute to the lives
of those who died while serving in our armed forces.
This is a
day of solemn remembrance. We are
feeling great sadness as we think of our loved ones who died while serving this
nation. We are also feeling great pride
knowing what kinds of risks our loved ones took in order to ensure our own
liberty and freedom from tyranny. We are
humbled by the courage our loved ones showed in the face of danger.
Our prayer
is that the souls of those who have perished serving this great nation will be
bound up in the bond of life; that You will gather our fallen into your eternal
shelter where there is no hatred and no war, just peace. May their lives serve as an inspiration for
us now and in the future because we know the value of trying to create a world
where peace will not only be a dream but a reality for all humankind.
Amen
