Prayers in Time of War

As an Air Force veteran and with 5 of my own kids in the Armed Forces, I have always kept our troops in my prayers.

Since its founding, Holy Heroes has been committed to supporting our military families (we refund 100% of shipping costs to all military–just leave a note with your order). In the past week, we rushed to create another resource to support a military…and this is one that will enable EVERYONE to support the men and women in uniform:

In a letter from a foxhole, written Aug 18, 1950, Venerable Father Emil Kapaun wrote, “I honestly believe it was the prayers of others which have kept me unscathed so far.” This Medal of Honor Recipient and holy man knew that prayers from others are needed by the men and women under fire.

Today, can you join us in prayer with our Prayers in Time of War collection. Created for such a time as this, our compilation of prayers will touch everyone with family or friends in uniform. Unfolds into 8 panels and printed on heavy-duty card stock for daily use throughout the war (and anytime your beloved are in harm’s way). 

Includes “The Soldier’s Psalm” (Psalm 91) and daily prayers for:

• Your Friends (and those who have no one to pray for them)
• Your Spouse
• Your Child
• Your Parent (especially meaningful to children whose parents are deployed)
• For All serving in the Armed Forces
• For Victory and Peace
• For Our Leaders (civilian, military, and chaplains)
• For the Conversion of our Enemies
• For All Who Will Die
• Saint Michael Archangel prayer (did you know he’s the patron of all soldiers?)

Please–can you share this pamphlet far and wide to encourage everyone you know to pray for our Armed Forces? You can order 10-packs, 50-packs, and even 100-packs to share with your family, friends, parish, etc.

Another helpful resource right now: Fulton Sheen’s Wartime Prayer Book

Tiny but powerful! While small, this book is perfect to keep with you at all times, as it fits into a pocket, a purse, or a backpack easily. 

Among the wisest of men who shepherded generations of Catholics was the (soon to be Blessed!) Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who won the hearts of Americans with his warm, engaging broadcast personality . . . but in secret, he put on the armor of God. He wrote this pocket-size prayerbook so that they, too, could put on the armor of God as they faced their new trials, physical and spiritual.

Archbishop Sheen knew that no matter what our circumstances may be, the deadliest enemy we face is armed not with a gun but with temptation. In dangerous, uncertain times like ours, the Devil lures us quickly into anger, hatred, and despair. This little prayer book will help you overcome those temptations!
