Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          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.
