[bodytext] => Blessed be the Military Chaplaincy Attending to heroic fighters need, That keep the Sacrament in the humvee, Or copters, so the valiant troops may feed. Equipped to celebrate the Eucharist, Dispensing strength and nourishment’s support, A boucle strong against the terrorist, The body and the blood of our Lord! In foreign culture,- Army Chaplaincy, Lends to the battling heroes great support May the Almighty bless their Ministry, Sustaining troops with the Eternal Word! Blessed by the Military Chaplaincy That by heroic fighting troopers stand, As true companion in constancy And raise their spirits as their truest friend. They comfort relatives and family, Inspire trust in God and calm the fears, They share with soldiers their adversity, And dry the swallowed and the open tears. What solace are their words, and guarantee Those battling for what’s right fight not in vain, For what is right does carry victory In spite of set backs, suffering and pain Blessed by the Military Chaplaincy That does dispense the Holy Sacrament, That sacred bread and wine - the warranty, To be with Jesus one - and without end. >>>>> Easter in Fallujah Chaplain Hall read two passages from the Bible, from Isaiah 53 and Luke 24, concerning the death and resurrection of Christ.
