PRAYER
Lord Jesus,
in the midst of the folly of war,
your
servant, Chaplain Emil Kapaun
spent himself in total service to you
on the
battlefields and
in the prison camps of Korea,
until his death at the
hands of his captors.
We now ask you, Lord Jesus,
if it be your
will,
to make known to all the world
the holiness of Chaplain Kapaun and
the
glory of his complete sacrifice for you by
signs of miracles and
peace.
In your name, Lord, we ask,
for you are the source of
peace,
the strength of our service to others,
and our final hope.
Amen
Chaplain Kapaun, pray for us.![]()
