05/24/10

On Monday, May 31, the Basilica will be open from 8:00-10:00am, with one Mass at 9:00am. The Mass will be offered for all those who have died for our country. We salute, honor and thank all men and women of the military, past and present, living and deceased. The Basilica will close after this Mass to allow the Basilica staff and volunteers to spend time with their families. There will be no tours offered on Memorial Day, and the Gift Shop will be closed.

Prayer for All Military Personnel

With Memorial Day approaching, please take a moment to pray for all military members who have served our great nation.

O God, kindly watch over those exposed to the dangers of military life.
Give them such strong faith that nothing may ever lead them to deny it or fear to practice it.

Fortify them by your grace against the contagion of bad example, so that, preserved from vice and serving you faithfully, they may be ready to meet death if it should come.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, inspire them with sorrow for sin and grant them pardon. Mary, our Mother, be with them in battle, and should they be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice, obtain for them the grace to die in the love of your Divine Son. St. Joseph, pray for them.

Amen.

-- From ‘Prayers for Today' by Terence Cardinal Cooke --
