Remembrance Day 2025

Almighty God,

Hear our prayer as we gratefully and enthusiastically join
in the wave of remembrance sweeping across our nation.

In unity with all Canadians, of every race, gender, and creed we
offer up prayers of thanksgiving for all those who made selfless
sacrifices for God and country so that we and future generations might
live in peace.

Bring your comfort and relief to those who mourn.
Enable those who were wounded in body, mind, or spirit to live more
peaceful and satisfying lives. Endow us all with a new resolve to
hasten that day when war shall be no more and Your will alone is done
on all the earth.

In Your Holy Name we pray.

Amen.
