"Don't worry about me, I'm going where I always wanted to go, and when I get there, I'll say a prayer for all of you."
Today marks the 75th anniversary of Father Emil Kapaun's death. Join us in prayer today for his beatification and canonization:
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.
Venerable Emil Kapaun, pray for us!
