Prayer for Those in Active Service
O God, we beseech Thee, watch over those exposed to the horrors of war and to the spiritual dangers of a soldier's, a sailor's or an airman's life. Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it or fear to practice it. Do Thou, by Thy grace, fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that, being preserved from vice, and serving Thee faithfully, they may be ready to meet death wherever it may happen, through Christ our Lord.
