Mary, Queen of Peace, we turn to you, our Mother.

For our men and women serving in the military,
protect them!
For innocent victims of war and violence, and this
priest spare them!

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against
the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we

Power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl
throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
