2019 Opening Prayer
Courtesy Dee McEchern
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 266 Chaplain
Most Holy and Merciful God, today is a day of remembrance. We have had a 100 years of days of remembrance.
We are thankful for those who served for us in the wars. Those who gave their life to the country they served. We were blessed for those who returned safely. Only they know the price that others paid with their lives.
Hear our prayer for peace.
As we come this day in Remembrance, allow our hearts to be touched with love, not anger. To be moved to search for new ways to solve world problems. To be open to new ways of relating to one another no matter our religion, colour or nationality.
Hear our prayer for peace most Holy One…
Amen.
