Today, we remember and honour the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives during the Second World War, bringing Victory in Europe. Join us in prayer as we reflect on their courage and cherish their memory.
O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those men and women
who have died in active service,
particularly in the Second World War,
whose sacrifice brought Victory in Europe.
As we honour their courage
and cherish their memory,
may we put our faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen.
