My brother is in the Infantry and will begin his first deployment next week. We are a military family, but this one is particularly difficult because he is the baby of a large family of seven children, and he is only 19. Please pray for his safety and for the comfort of our family during his deployment.
 
Lord, You created us to live our love, including fighting for justice. Send Your heavenly angels to encamp about Your people, most especially those who show the greatest love–offering their lives for another. As Christ Himself counseled, let our soldiers be just and perform their jobs as Christians; and lift them up, bear their burdens, and protect them in their duties and make all the military families and friends partners with You in prevailing over privation and separation with patience, kindness, and heavenly aid. Thank You. AMEN

Praying from Psalm 61(62):

My soul, find peace in God alone,
for he gives me strength to endure.
It is he who is my God and my safeguard,
my stronghold: I shall never be shaken.

In God is my salvation and my glory,
God is my strength – my refuge is with God.
Trust in him, all you people together,
pour out your hearts before him;
God is our refuge.

St. Joan of Arc, humble maiden of France, your heavenly Father miraculously endowed you with every military skill and knowledge, and raised you up as the Commander of the armies of France for the blessing of His Church, the protection of His people, and the glory of His Holy Name.

By your merits and prayers may God also endow all military men and women with every military skill and knowledge necessary for his station of duty. May his mission always be righteous, and his actions always be courageous, compassionate, and just.

And just as you showed your ardent love for Jesus in offering up your life for Him, so may they fulfill all that their duty requires. St. Joan of Arc pray for us that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
