On this day after Memorial Day,
remembering those who died in service, may the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls in their service. Grant them the energy to serve with compassion. May they see Your divine face in the face of each person they serve, and in their own reflections. As these souls serve those created in Your image, may their compassion and mercy shine. |
