St. Florian's Prayer for Firefighters
Dear God, Through the intercession of our patron, Saint
Florian, have mercy on the souls of our comrades who have made the supreme
sacrifice in the performance of their duty, and on all who have gone before us
after years of faithful discharge of their responsibilities which now rest on
ourselves. Give us Grace to prepare each day for our own summons to Thy tribunal
of justice. Into Thy hands O Lord, I commend my spirit. Withersoever Thou
callest me, I am ready to go. Merciful Father of all men, save me from all
bodily harm, if it be Thy will, but above all, help me to be loyal and true,
respectful and honorable, obedient and valiant. Thus fortified by virtue, I
shall have no fear, for I shall then belong to Thee and shall never be separated
from Thee.
