As the nation marks Memorial Day, prayer and gratitude are two ways in which Catholics can best honor veterans, said a bishop and decorated military chaplain.
“You might want to go to Mass that day and pray for them,” said Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Coffey, Vicar for Veterans Affairs in the U.S.’s Archdiocese for the Military Services. “And if you see any veterans, thank them for their service.”
