Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, Your unworthy servant, who comes to You with hope. Save, Lord, and have mercy on our children (name), whose lives are in Your merciful power. Forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, instruct them to walk the path of Your truth and enlighten them with the light of Your commandments. Bless, Lord, their military service, on land, in the air, in the sea and in every place of Your dominion. Place in their hearts courage and complete trust in Your will. Strengthen their mental and physical strength for the fulfillment of service, love for others for the sake of others. Protect them by the power of Your Honest and Life-giving Cross from every deadly and destructive weapon, let them avoid captivity to the enemy and betrayal from their neighbors. Return them healthy and prosperous to their father’s house and lead a peaceful and sinless life for Your glory and inherit Your Heavenly Kingdom. Amen.
