CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (CNS) – A Boston College Jesuit, Father Daniel R. Sweeney, has compiled a pocket-size book of prayers and catechism lessons specifically for men and women serving in the military. The 64-page waterproof booklet, designed to fit in the pocket of a battle dress uniform, is actually in its third edition. It is being distributed free of charge by the Knights of Columbus in conjunction with the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services.
In a news release about the prayer book, titled “Armed With the Faith: A Catholic Handbook for Military Personnel,” Father Sweeney said he hoped the book will meet demand among military personnel to better understand the teachings and traditions of the Catholic faith in a manner that directly addresses the realities of military life. The book includes prayers, devotions, sacramental theology, catechetical information and hymns, along with a brief outline of just-war theory in the Catholic tradition.
