Almighty God, our heavenly Father, let thy protection be upon all those who are in the service of our country; guard them from all harm and danger of body and soul; sustain and comfort those as home, especially in their hours of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow; prepare the dying for death and the living for your service; give success to our arms on land and sea and in the air; and grant unto us and all nations a speedy, just and lasting peace. Amen.

Against The Grain - 2007 Highlights
Well, that's a wrap . . . of 2007. From the archives, a look back with a highlight from each month of blogging (As you can see, some familiar and reoccuring themes to this year):
To my readers (and critics) -- Happy New Year, thanks for gracing this blog with your eyes and I hope to make your acquaintance in the combox in the future.
Oh, and if you enjoy this blog and wish to show your appreciation in a concrete way:
"the most characteristic expression of the participation of all the faithful in the Bishop of Rome’s charitable initiatives in favour of the universal Church. The gesture has not only a practical value, but also a strong symbolic one, as a sign of communion with the Pope and attention to the needs of one’s brothers" (Pope Benedict XVI)
