General
George S. Patton, Jr.
(France, December 1944):
(France, December 1944):
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great
goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend.
Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call
upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory,
and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy
justice among men and nations. Amen.

* Fun with Photoshop. It’s easy! Find a prayer from one of your generals
and put your flag here. Because remember: your enemies are always wicked and in need of crushing.
"Gott mit uns" is or was the inscription on the belt buckle of every German soldier. Which is why I have difficulty with the customary translation of Emmanuel.
ReplyDeleteThe reply to "Gott mit uns" is unfortunately always "Nein, nein. Gott mit UNS."
