a prayer for those who are away

[Guest guest]

Dear brave souls

I dont know if this is appropriate to post here, if it is not, please

forgive... I thought I would just mention the prayer I pray three times a

day, in addition to my other prayers, such as the prayer of St. Francis " Oh

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace... " . I pray Angelus three times

day. (it's in my blood as you know...)

Here is the prayer. It is short in a Latina long kind of way:

I ask God to fill in any words I am missing... any thoughts I cannot bear to

think, and to include any persons who have need ...

Into the world in the name of our troops and all innocents here and also over

there, I pray that you send precious angels bearing a cloud to enwrap all the

innocent people, to hide them, to comfort and steady them. Let them all be

kept safe from harm's way. Please give each one sharpened insight and

sharpened insticts to survive this day and this night. Protect their ears

from the sounds. Protect their eyes from the sights. Protect their hearts

from paralyzing fear. Hold them. Hold them and comfort them.

And if they cannot be kept completely safe, then I ask from my heart and soul

that they be wrapped in the strong arms of your healing angels, and that they

be helped to recover from the many kinds of wounds a human can suffer,

including abject lonliness, agony, horror, and loss. I ask that heaven's

perfect touch help them to heal fully, and that their knowledge that unruined

love still exists in this world, remain intact.

And, if it is meant to be that their time is now, then I ask from my deepest

heart and soul that you send your legions of special strong-winged

arch-angels to help their spirits and souls be lifted quickly out of their

bodies at the moment of death-- so that they can feel no pain, so that they

only know the sudden joy of reunion with the God of Perfect Love.

I ask for this on this day, in the name of everything in every soul on earth

that is good. This is from me, your completely imperfect servant, who in this

lifetime is still without wings, but who knows the power of those who have

them.

Amen.

Thank you for the prayers...but please direct your efforts to those

in greater need.

Love,

Jac
